Parched is a beautiful film with stunning visuals of life in a remote Kutch village (though I understand the set was erected on an abandoned village in Rajasthan).
The story essentially revolves around three women in a rural society, their lives in an abusive male centric world, their emotions, their relationship with each other, how they draw strength from their friendship to somehow survive all their problems and so forth ... I do not like to disclose the plot details in a review.
The costumes, the houses, the settings, its all so authentic looking. This film could promote Kutch embroidery and handicrafts in a big way!
Some shots such as Bijli driving the girls in the embellished jugaad auto are a bit stretched but do not detract from the main plot. Likewise the Bijli act in the tent is probably far more sordid in real life than what was depicted.
The topless scene and the act with the God man in the cave were sensitively depicted. I saw this movie on You Tube. Not sure if the CBFC released version had any cuts.
If you haven't already, do watch Parched.
