Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
rishabanilkumar An absolute masterpiece that paints the true image of women in rural India. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say its one of the best movies to come out of Bollywood in recent times. The fact that this movie has 7.8 rating (as of 7/1/2018) shows you where the standards of the Indian audience is. If more movies like Parched were commended, Bollywood might not come with the crap that kills our brain cells every time we watch it. Superb Acting. Superb Script. And Brilliant direction.
HarshVardhan Arya Though based on the story of the lives of four women, Parched is the film which teaches you lessons in many ways. In the man dominated culture how those women were tortured, the hardships they faced, the fight they had with themselves and how they made their way to happiness is the plot of this movie.A village panchayat just in order to maintain their status quo refuses to change anyway. Even introduction of a television or giving education to children seems to be a big threat to their hollow culture and beliefs. Where women are only seen and used as a emotionless sex dolls, being deprived of their happiness and feelings. And a man with a noble intentions who acts as a catalyst to all these is at the end fells prey to an attempt to murder by local village boys. Notwithstanding the celebration Dusshera (victory of good over evi)l and worshipping Devi (Indian goddesses), a clear hypocrisy with flares of rage is being depicted in this film.'Be the change you want to see in this world' are the wise words by Mahatma Gandhi. Although you are suppressed and dejected, only you have the power to bring the situation favourable to you. Boldly scripted and perfectly articulated, the entire project is commendable. This movie definetly will hit your senses and will be a calling to make a change.Https://earnestinsights.blogspot.in/
Andres-Camara Curious country, that in which you can show how it sticks to women, but it blurs the bottles of alcohol and you put a sign in some moments that says, smoking is bad for your health.We all know how these countries are, watching this movie does not reveal anything new to me. I believe the movie, if I believe it. That's why I do not suspend it. Interesting, I'm not interested in anything. It is a film in which only sex matters, everything is sex, mainly sex and then cultural and economic poverty. And I think the end nobody believes it.At least he has not given us dances like these movies usually do, I appreciate that.He has a beautiful photograph. The trouble is that the story is supposed to be sad and photography can not be happier.The address, well at least it does not bore me. It does not get long and lasts a lot. I do not like the wheel or the camera, it's too simple, it does not take anything to tell the story.I do not know, but I think it could have been a better movie and better used.
