Darlings Movie Review: The diamond named Alia Bhatt’s dark-comedy performance shines even in the dark…

Alia Bhatt (Alia Bhatt) has received a lot of praise through her brilliant performance in ‘Gangubai’ this year. Till now, Alia, who is seen only as an actress, has also become a producer for the first time through her film ‘Darlings’. Perhaps this is the reason why both Alia and her fans have high hopes from this film made under the banner of their production house Eternal Sunshine. Alia, Shefali Shah and Vijay Verma starrer this film has been released on Netflix today. Alia Bhatt has chosen the subject of domestic violence as the first film of her production house, but even in this environment, its treatment can be said to be different from any story till now. Know how is this film.

This story is about Badrunisa (Alia Bhatt), who falls in love with Hamza (Vijay Verma) and then gets married. The twist in this love story comes when Hamza’s other form comes to the fore after drinking alcohol and he kills his wife like an animal. Badrunisa lives in a chawl in Mumbai and her mother (Shefali Shah) also lives in the same chawl, who advises her daughter to get out of this marriage every day. But like many women, Badrunisa continues to endure these beatings in the hope that ‘one day everything will be fine’. But then something happens that breaks the dam of his patience and twist comes in the story. Now to see how funny this twist is, you can watch this film on Netflix.

First of all, talking about the story, this story is on a very sensitive issue like domestic violence, but this story actually shows the truth which has been missing in many stories till now. Often films showing domestic violence show the story of a man who beats his wife every night or day, humiliates her and the wife bears all this for years just because of the fear of the society. Often, after such stories, a woman’s feet are shackled by the society and the public. But ‘Darlings’ tells the truth, which is actually very close to the truth. Badrunisa is accompanied by her mother, who tells her every day to get out of this relationship. There is the police, who make him realize that he is killing because she is getting beaten up. In fact, in such relationships, women often wait for that day, ‘when everything will be fine’. And often the person who kills in the night showers love as soon as the intoxication subsides and also shows pampering. Just, the wounds of the night are often filled like this in the day and the woman then suffers new wounds in the night for years in the hope of that day, ‘When everything will be fine…’ ‘Darlings’ is quite special in this sense .

Directed by Jasmeet K. Reen has brought this sentiment on the screen very well. Although in this dark comedy where the performances are shining, the comedy is not able to hold that much. In fact, even in the heavy scenes of the story, if something brings newness, then it is Shefali Shah. Alia and Shefali together bring great chemistry on screen. On the other hand, the kind of husband played by Vijay Verma is commendable. His gray-shade can be clearly seen on the screen.

In this film of 2 hours 14 minutes, the sequences do not change much in the beginning, but there are some funny twists in the last part. Although it cannot be called a masterpiece, but Darlings is a film telling a funny story in the right way. 3.5 stars to this film from my side.
