Darlings

Good Flick, Credit has to go to the entire team and the director, Alia Bhatt is definitely some actor and can give many Holywood actors a run for their money but I think Shefali shah has nailed it. I enjoyed watching more of her than Alia, The movie is well executed dark comedy but boring at times when the two main protagonists come together but the presence of Shefali shah kept the movie go along nicely.

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.

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.

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.
