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.

praveen The highlight of the movie is Radhika Apte's nipple. The Main Act is Radhika Apte doing a nude, simulated sex-scene. Everything else is secondary to that. Even though this is nothing new (Radhika Apte has already done full-frontal scenes in other movies), this kind of thing is still bit scandalous in India.In order to fully understand the context, non-Indians should understand that many Indians still suffer from severe Colonial mentality which makes them believe that the Westerner is better than Indians. This is why Indians bleach their skin. This is why Indians take pride in speaking English. This is why Indians still celebrate Shakespeare when even the British have forgotten him. And this is why India's "Film Festival" gang tries desperately to impress Western audiences. There is nothing more prized in these circles than approval from the Western audience. Western approval is their currency. It is their validation. It is their Salvation.These people know their audience. They know that the typical judge at a Western Film Festival is a liberal who wants to "Save" countries like India by manufacturing certain type of social- change. These movie makers (and actors) know how to play to that gallery. So feminism, gay rights, sexuality, etc. become main themes in their movies - because these are powerful groups in Western media. This is Radhika Apte and Leena Yadav begging Westerners, "We are willing converts, aggressively evangelizing and selling your commandments. Please give us our award now."Though teenage Indian boys will no doubt enjoy some scenes in this movie, to the average Indian adult, the movie is nonsensical. Its as if these "Avant Garde wannabe" film-makers are pissing on India's poverty by sexualizing it and using it to titillate Westerners. They are stereotyping, disrespecting, and misrepresenting some of the most defenseless and vulnerable people in the world. Its like forcibly grabbing the old, torn saree of a poor Indian village woman and displaying it to Westerners so that they can ejaculate on it. All of this just to win some silly awards. To me, it is this stark vulgarity of their greed that is the most prominent feature of every frame in the movie. It is this obscene, cruel, narcissistic, selfish, ultra-capitalism that is the most defining aspect of these movies and such people. But at the end of it all, I can't help but feel sorry them. I hope the trinkets made them happy. I hope that someday people like Radhika Apte and Leena Yadav will recognize their own slave-mentality and find a way to understand what true freedom really is. I hope they will someday grasp the depth of their intellectual and spiritual poverty.And for the Western audience that consumes, rewards, and encourages porn like this: I sincerely hope that you will someday understand why most of us use the term "ignorant" to describe you.

parthamadhukar Violent,profane, depressing. Lots of women crying, lots of drunk men lusting and irrational in several parts. Had to sit through 2 hours of pathos. The subtitles in English have not been written well therefore audiences who do not understand the language will misinterpret several dialogues. Present day India also has another reality that the first woman Head (Sarpanch) of a village in India is in Rajasthan, Chavi Rajawat. Rajasthan also has a woman chief minister as the head of the state- Vasundhara Raje. Gender discrimination against women is a reality in several parts of the world (not only India) including the modern western world. Ever heard of the corporate glass ceiling? USA, one of the most advanced nations has not had a woman as it's President. This movie does not do justice to the state of Rajasthan.

Samahire404 PARCHED REVIEW - I was never interested to watch this film, in fact i never heard about this Film before but suddenly some leak news made waves on social media and i had to download film and watch. And now after watching it i'm speechless, i don't have words to appreciate Film but still i am going to write few words so that Real Cinema Lovers won't miss a gem. Acting - Powerpacked ! The film looks so realistic and its characters looks so real that we actually feel their Pain, Happiness and everything. Surely Best Performance of all Actresses in Film especially Radhika Apte shows her Standard actually raises it and Surween Chawla shines in Bindass Attitude. Screenplay - Marvellous ! It never looked stretched or bored despite being Realistic and Social msg film. Some crispy and vulgar scenes to entertain masses are also there. Classes have everything to taste. Music - Not Impressive ! But Background Score definitely works as shiner for some Serious and Meaningful scenes. Dialogues - Hilarious ! Few will make you laugh, few will make you think and some might harass you due to its Vulgarity. Cinematography - Fantastic ! We see Completely Realistic and real Village in Film and credit goes to Cinematographer. Even some scenes which have not been shot in Village/Set (Caves/Sand) looks Real and are eye pleasing.Direction - Speechless ! Yes you read it right, i don't know who was Leena Yadav but now i will remember this name forever just because of this 1 Masterpiece. Direction is Highly Realistic so does its Vulgar so you have to prepare yourself to watch this Film not as a Regular Bollywood Film but as a Highly Realistic Art Cinema. Full Marks to Director and 1 Salute from me. Final Words - Almost a Masterpiece ! Hats Off, Kudos and Salute to makers for making a Film like Parched in India. You need guts to make Art Film in Bollywood which is actually surviving on Useless Commercial Masala Entertainers but Ajay Devgn had guts and he tried it and he Won it. I watched Unrated Version so you might miss some Vulgar and Sex scenes due to Censore Cuts. Few changes would have made this Film a Masterpiece but i think it fell short and became a Classic. Quality Cinema Lovers should not miss Parched at any cost. I'm going with 8/10 Stars, Go for it to have some memorable and Realistic Cinematic Experience.
