#Darlings is subtle in its comedy & layered in its messaging!

No it does not mock victims of domestic abuse!

The mother daughter duo of #AliaBhatt & #ShefaliShah are exceptional but the standout is the sadistic & evil #VijayVarma 🔥

Netizens are also calling it a perfect dark comedy.

just finished #darlings and i just loved it, it was more darker than i was expected, the story is so gripping and unfortunately too real, so many women still suffer from their husband's violences, the cast was fabulous, bow down to alia who is really a superstar ! 💫#aliabhattpic.twitter.com/wndedUkp2S

#DARLINGS is a hilarious entertainer and at the same time, it is also replete with some hard-hitting moments. The performances of #AliaBhatt, Shefali Shah and Vijay Varma are award-winning and serve as the icing on the cake.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟(3.5 Stars) https://t.co/9LD3ovh7gN

The film is giving an important message. A twitter user wrote, "#Darlings on #Netflix is an absolute cinematic representation of how normalised patriarchy is in our country, and how subtly this glass is broken by this mother-duo by thrashing patriarchy and abuse. And, women telling women's stories>>>"

just finished watching #Darlings. A part of me is angry & shattered but the climax was so well written n executed, I'm glad how this turned out to be... strong message & really well delivered. #ShefaliShah#AliaBhatt#Roshanmathew#VijayVarmapic.twitter.com/kcxYJpgjH0

A new take on a concept previously approached multiple times and that makes #Darlings a great watch. You can feel the tension/ sadness/ emotions in the scenes, and that’s such a plus point of the film. Alia Bhatt, Vijay Verma and Shefali Shah are all top notch in the film. 🔥
