The cast and the artfully crafted, bold dialogues. Equal importance has been given to all three women. They seem to have taken required efforts cheerfully to bring out more than what was required. There is humour in the film but on a very subtle note. The film is in every way an art film and has considerable metaphorical elements to it.
Overall, the film is like a neatly composed novel converted flawlessly and boldly into a film. Like every other book which is either a page turner or not, depending on the reader’s mindset, so is ‘Parched’ and its engagement.
