Avis à la une
It's almost funny how relatable Darlings feels to me because I have been witness to domestic abuse. It's so ordinary and routine everywhere that the quality makes it funny when you see the same proceeding unleash on the silver screen with high-profile actors looking ready to get behind the camera portraying such roles. As for the film as a product, I believe the whole cast and crew do a wonderful job at showing the extremes of what domestic abuse can do to people on both sides of the spectrum. The matured take on the morality? It's like the chef's kiss on this darling film. Watch it on a laid-back evening.
For all those who look for different content, here is your turn. This movie is different from any other Indian movie in many ways. It will make you think and analyse. A conserved mind may not understand this movie but if you are open and non judgemental, this movie will force you to fell in love with it. On top of that brilliant performance by Alia and the entire team. Each and every actor seems to justify the character which he/she is playing. Dnt go on negative review, they are just those people who know to spread hatred. If you miss on this movie, you are actually missing a big fish.
Ever had a pudding that looked exquisite and smelled delicious but turned out to be a little undercooked as you took the first bite? Almost telling you that the cook had quality ingredients at their disposal but failed to fully satiate your senses. It is akin to how Darlings made me feel.
Looking at the cast and having heard a positive thing or two about the film, I went in to watch with considerable expectations but was rendered feeling underwhelmed at the end of it. While one can point out at the lack of remarkable dialogues and a fairly lackluster climax; at heart, it seems as if the makers weren't manifestly clear about what kind of emotions they wanted the audience to feel through the course of the movie.
The description on Netflix says that the film is a "dark comedy". In essence, it's a story about domestic violence loaded with slapstick elements. Just because the fulcrum of the plot is a sensitive issue, doesn't make it a dark comedy.
Ironically, there's a scene in the movie where Hamza (played by Vijay Varma) asks Zulfi (played by Roshan Mathew) about the film that he's writing. When Zulfi tells he's been working on a horror-comedy, Hamza replies with, "Agar faluda mein whiskey milayega, toh thodi jamega" (If you mix Faluda and Whiskey, it's likely to taste bad). It is funny that you could say something along similar lines about Darlings itself. While the comedy never quite sets you on a laughing spree, it does digress the makers from several opportunities where they could have made the audience feel visceral emotions.
The entire second half shows Badru (played by Alia Bhatt) turning the tables on her husband Hamza and avenging the constant abuse she had borne. It feels as if somebody penned down the intrusive thoughts of revenge that go through the mind of a victim of domestic violence and brought them to life. However, it seems to go a notch too far as she constantly drugs Hamza and thereby severely dilutes the impact of the climax. In fact, as we go through scenes of policemen not even considering the man being a victim of domestic abuse, it is very much possible to feel unempathetic towards Badru when she's eventually set free.
The cast has proven artists. With their high standards, it is hard to see this being Alia's or Vijay's best performance. Shefali Shah outshines everybody. Plotwise, the depth of Hamza's character, along with some obvious 'conflicts' that could be brought to forefront seem like unexplored territories. All in all, the film leaves a fair bit to desire.

There are good movies and there are bad movies. I can't put this movie in to any of those categories. So my rating is also in the middle. Acting of everyone(mostly) is very good but the story is dragged for too long. It could have been a good movie if it was made within 100 minutes.
You can watch it but if you don't you are not missing out on anything.

Movie starts with a shot where far away the poster of movie "badlaa" is shown. Alia bhatt buys the tickets. Is this some kind of poetic stuff movie wants to portray?must be! Because the movie is twisted revenge saga.the perfect cast with stellar performance makes it more spicy.domestic violence was previously discussed in "Thappad"where the story took the legal court room drama route.this movie however tries to fall under dark comedy genre. A tricky stuff to pull off! Except few glitches it pulls off. Alia and shefali look great as mother daughter."jalsaa" and now "darlings"shefali has certainly crafted the art of being a below average,illiterate woman. Alia shines like a gold. An intriguing movie.
