Darlings Review: Shefali Shah, Alia Bhatt Shine Bright In This Dark Film

Sukhmani Waraich by Sukhmani Waraich
August 5, 2022

Directed by Jasmeet K Reen, Darlings stars Alia Bhatt, Shefali Shah, Vijay Varma, and Roshan Matthew. One of the most anticipated films of this year, Darlings is streaming now on Netflix. Here’s our review of the hard-hitting dark comedy that will stay with you for a long time to come.

Badru (Alia Bhatt) is on a mission to get her alcoholic, violent husband, Hamza, on the right track. Hamza (Vijay Varma) shows no signs of improvement and beats his wife at the slightest inconvenience. His violence towards his wife is so regular that the whole neighbourhood knows about it. Badru’s street-smart mother, Shamshunissa (Shefali Shah), lives in the same society and watches her daughter struggle with her husband every day. Badru, because of her husband’s constant gaslighting, ignores her mother’s advice to leave Hamza. Unlike the typical Bollywood mother, Shamshunissa encourages her daughter to get rid of Hamza to live a peaceful life, even if that means killing him. But Badru never gives up on Hamza, until the abuse goes too far, even for her. What ensues is a twisted tale of revenge that keeps you hooked.

When the trailer of Darlings came out, it seemed that the whole story had been revealed. But once you watch the film, you realise that’s not the case. Darlings is a dark take on domestic violence and is rooted in reality. The unpredictable story flows well, you can never really tell where the story is going which works in the film’s favour. Among the many good parts of Darlings is the well-written banter between the mother-daughter duo of Shamshunissa and Badru.

Alia Bhatt never fails to capture your attention, whether it is as the submissive wife defending her abusive husband or the woman seeking revenge. She makes you sympathise with Badru and be frustrated with her at the same time. And what do we even say about the legend who is Shefali Shah? She is fiery as Shamshunissa, a protective mother and ruthless woman. Her character was already well-written but Shefali Shah adds layers to the role that could not have been done by any other actor in our opinion. Shefali Shah and Alia Bhatt are delightful to watch on screen. The chemistry they share was, frankly, unexpected, but it is beautiful. Both actors excel in their individual characters and as a team. We can only hope to see more of them together.

Vijay Varma, as Hamza, is superb. He will make you hate Hamza and then laugh at him. The abusive husband who keeps changing tactics is portrayed in a unique manner by Varma. He keeps you guessing about his intentions and his true character till the end. Every actor, in fact, is really well suited to their roles. Roshan Matthew, as the innocent, smitten Zulfi, is endearing and amusing at the same time. Matthew makes his presence felt on screen even in a role that’s not one of the leads.

Watch Darlings on Netflix for a concentrated dose of excellent cinema.

Sukhmani found her calling when she lost more than a few friendships to her grammar nerd ways. She's a vehement feminist, admires people who work out regularly (can't imagine doing it herself), and has put her globetrotting on hold to earn a few bucks.

#EveOfTheMoment: @bawrijogan shares her story with us

I have loved dancing since I was a kid and started learning Kathak at 8. But as time passed, I lost touch with dancing. 

In 2017, the spark rekindled when I watched dance reality shows. But this time, I found a new love - belly dancing. I learnt belly dancing through TV, YouTube and Instagram. 

Belly dance is a non-conventional art form that society doesn’t accept without judgements. But my father, sister and brother-in-law supported and encouraged me to follow my passion. 

At first, I was apprehensive about belly dancing because I was conscious of my body and skin. I didn’t fit the standards society has for a belly dancer. But the more I practised, the more I fell in love with the art form. 

In 2021, I decided to learn belly dancing professionally. Back then, I had a hard time where getting out of bed was also a chore. However, belly dancing helped me deal with it all. It helped me grow confident and embrace my body and skin condition - vitiligo. 

Soon, I started teaching belly dance, conducting workshops and even had a chance to do a dance project with my teacher recently. 

For me, belly dancing is like meditation. It takes me to a different zone where I can express my feelings, be it sorrow or happiness, and I feel at peace. It is all about expressively channelising my emotions.

A one-night stand's primary notion is to have a pleasurable, casual night of sex and then never see each other again. When you make the decision to let your hormones rule over, an automatic fire develops. It's nothing to be ashamed of, despite the fact that many people might judge others for having a one-night stand. You will benefit greatly from owning your sexuality and taking the bull by the horns. Others find it difficult to have a little fun with a stranger, while others do. Let's find out whether one-night stands are your thing. - Madam Eve

The world is just healing from the impact of one of the deadliest viruses in recent times and the memories are still pretty fresh. So, Anubhav Sinha’s attempt with Bheed is commendable. The movie showcases thousands of migrants going back to their villages on foot post the Covid curfew announcement. From cycling to being stuffed in trucks, trollies, or any other available vehicles, people were desperate to get back home. But the harsh reality loses its impact in the storytelling with too many great ideas tied together loosely. Here is our review of Bheed starring Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar, Dia Mirza, Ashutosh Rana, Kritika Kamra, and Pankaj Kapur.
