Absolutely brilliant. awesome acting by Radhika apte and Surveen. this is the second movie in a week, highlighting problems faced by women in India, other being the Pink. through this is very different from Pink. Pink is more focussed on middle or upper middle class problem and Parched is focussed on problem faced by majority of women in India. their stories don’t get the headline because they don’t even know that what’s happening to them is wrong.
