The cast of Darlings makes it a riveting watch. Varma is terrifying and Roshan Mathew as believable as the tender man. Ultimately, it’s all in the hands of the forever solid & reliable Shah and Bhatt...

Film Companion

Darlings, with strong performances by Alia Bhatt, Shefali Shah and Vijay Varma, has lots going for it.

The Indian Express

Alia Bhatt, Vijay Varma, Shefali Shah and Roshan Mathew deliver excellent performances in a film that is aware of what it is.

Rated: 2.5/5

Pramit Chatterjee

Digital Mafia Talkies

Even if it was a watery, bland, middling attempt at being an exploitation film (which, FYI, it clearly wants to be), I would’ve recommended it. But this movie is so hellbent on furthering negative stereotypes that it simply can’t be recommended.

Rated: 1/5

Rahul Desai

Film Companion

It’s a tense, creature-like performance that keeps Darlings on track as a clutter-breaking dramedy. Without him, Jasmeet K. Reen’s daring debut might have struggled to bridge its disparate tones.

Darlings is further proof that no matter the length of the role, Shefali Shah never fails to astonish. It's a full-circle performance, so much of Shamshu is revealed yet so much is left to explore.

Darlings starts out really strongly as a drama about domestic violence. Powered by three superb performances from Vijay Verma, Alia Bhatt and Shefali Shah, it feels real enough to make you flinch. At some point the film also becomes a revenge thriller of sorts, which still works in context with what we've seen before. However, it is the attempts at including laughs into the proceedings that really make the film falter - shuffling between black comedy and outright comedy so awkwardly that it creates an unnecessary tonal identity crisis. Add to that an overcooked third act, and what starts out as a very promising movie peters out into an unsatisfying end product.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Sluggish and uninterested direction. Acting too looked very forced. Too much noise over nothing. Alia and her stereotypical acting is not working its charm any longer. These nepotism kids need to give us a break. Insufferable torture.
