Tone & Story: The movie is a drama surrounding a girl who faces medical challenges. She dies at the age of 18. The movie portrays story of her family and the challenges they face.
I watched the movie very late the reason being trailer. The trailer does not justifies the beauty of this movie. The only thing it justifies is that it is bought from the makers of Barfi and Dangal. For this movie I would like to say don't judge the book by its cover.
The movie is based on a story that happened for real. Thus making its place even more concrete in category to watch.
Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography, Music, Acting: Justified in every mentioned aspect.

Parched is a sensitive - but very watchable - female-centric film which explores the lives of 3 Rajasthani village ladies who live in a sexually repressed, patriarchal & abusive society. The film explores their frustrations over not having normal lives and the desire to live life on their terms.
The title "Parched" refers to the lives of the 3 ladies which is as "parched" as the arid desert they are living on.
MERITS of Parched
1 - A very sensible & sensitive story that is well-executed (you will NEVER feel bored unless you're a MCP moron)
2 - The build-up and pacing of the film is just perfect
3 - The dialogues (in Rajasthani accent) are well-written, incisive, witty and puts the message across pointedly
3 - Parched is bold and does not shy away from bit of nudity and abusive words (which is necessary keeping in mind the rustic nature of the characters)

Probably the one serious complaint against Mohabbatein is that the movie just goes on and on and on and on... lasting for more than 3-and-a-half hours! (not that its completely a bad thing..) in fact, most of the movie is actually quite enjoyable. What really makes the movie kinda drag is the tacky ending, in which narayan shankar (an excellent amitabh bachchan) gives this exceptionally long lecture about him losing to love. Aside from that, everything else in the movie is of supreme chopra quality! All six newcomers (though jugal hansraj isnt technically a newcomer) have managed to give decent performances, and have stood their ground in front of amitabh and shah rukh.
The movie is reminiscent of several other blockbusters of the past, such as dilwale dulhaniya le jayenge (also directed by aditya chopra), kuch kuch hota hai, and dil to pagal hai.. in fact, mohabbatein steals many of the elements of these previous classics! Yet, the audience comes out of the theater feeling full and satisfied. Though not as emotionally gut-wrenching as DDLJ, mohabbatein is still a gem of a movie..
