You must first talk to your parents and if they do not understand your feelings this time also, then you are at liberty to lodge a police complaint alleging that you have been locked wrongfully against your will.

Hi
In the eyes of law locking you up is illegal and amounts to illegal confinement and an offence under the penal law of India.
So in law you may call police and et your complaint register and as a result police will take action and get you released.
However as you live with your parents therefore youay try to take the help of elder member and try to make your parents understand your point of view:

In this case you can lodge a police complaint against your parents for wrongful confinement. Punishment for wrongful confinement depends on the no. of days a person is confined. Upto 2 days, it is imprisonment upto 1 year, or with fine or with both. For three days to 9 days, it is imprisonment upto 2 year, or with fine or with both. For ten or more days, it is imprisonment upto3 year and shall also be liable to fine.
