‘Darlings’ was released on Netflix on Friday and have thoroughly hooked viewers with its amazing plot and great cast.
‘Darlings’ is directed by the debutant director Jasmeet K Reen; Alia Bhatt, Shefali Shah, Vijay Verma, and Roshan Mathew are the main cast. The movie unmistakably exhibits excellent acting skills, interesting characters, and efforts in the direction.
Young couple Alia Bhatt and Vijay Verma portray a rocky marriage. While Hamza, played by Vijay Verma, is a raving alcoholic who can’t control his anger and beats his wife every other night, Badru, played by Alia Bhat, is naïve and wishes for a future with him. Shamzi, Badru’s mother, Shefali Shah, lives across from them and constantly tells her daughter to leave him, but the daughter is hopeful to improve the situation.
The situation gets worse when Zulfi (Roshan Mathew), a neighbour, goes to the police and reports Hamza for domestic violence.
The film is cleverly written by Parveen Sheikh, a serious issue of domestic violence which Bollywood has seen enough times has given a smart twist with dark comedy. Thus, ‘Darlings’ stands out of the box.
Netizens admitted ‘Darlings’ is a refreshing watch, taking to Twitter, Some called it an average satire, while others remarked it was “thoroughly entertaining.”
#Darlings ⭐️⭐️🌟 ( 2.5)
Manifest a pertinent message on domestic violence by fusing humor & thrill in the narrative but screenplay gets stretched towards last 40 mins with unconvincing series of events. Absence of Smart writing & powerful climax makes darlings an average watch. pic.twitter.com/6k0DcdDS4m

Sure, @aliaa08 is incredibly privileged and born with a silver spoon, but look at her craft man. She’s talented, versatile, hard working, and just keeps upping her game with each of her films. #Darlings
