Abstract This study aims to reveal the situation of patriarchy in Indian society and their liberation in Leena Yadav's “parched” and Abhishek Shah's “Hellaro”. It also explains the sexual oppression of women in an Indian society. Here the liberation of women from that patriarchal society means a lot. Both movies used different ways to show their emancipation. The theory of Subaltern by Antonio Gramsci is applied to analyse the suppression of women and their liberation from that all unwanted norms. In addition, it is worth studied as the female necessities and their sexual needs.

Qualitative research is taken as the approach of the study. Data collection is mostly obtained by watching the movies while the data analysis is done by applying the theory to analyse the movies. The result of the study confirms that, female sexuality and their all needs are equal to the male. The both films are male dominant and discuss a huge gender-based gap which deprive women in their employment and sexual needs.
