Movie review 'Parched'

Leena Yadav's direction is technically and aesthetically flawless. Her characters are battered souls, yet vibrant on a canvas that is full of colour and lively music. But, her script which offers a fair amount of voyeuristic pleasure, is a well-knit, one-dimensional misogynist narrative, where every male character from the elders to the youngsters, except for the social worker Krishan (Sumeet Vyas), are portrayed in a negative light.
