Darlings

The struggle to hold on to an abusive relationship is so well crafted in the story. Darlings is a good dark comedy with good screenplay and which isn't a remake of any source. The performances by the cast were brilliant, Alia Bhatt as an innocent naive housewife married to a sadistic violent husband and her mother, Shefali Shah is very good.

Alia and Shefali makes a great pair as mother-daughter. Also, this film present a perspective on domestic violence without mocking it and taking it seriously and making it as a comedy. The topic is very important and the impotance is shown and proved. The film is so well written and is well executed. Darlings is a nice refreshing take on domestic violence.

Very entertaining and fun film with a good message. However, I felt the film could've been a bit shorter. Some scenes are over the top which could've been wrapped up in 90 - 100 minutes. Overall, it is a very good attempt and proves successful in so many level and is better than lots of recent Bollywood flicks.

7.5/10.
