Alia, Shefali bringing dark comedy ‘Darlings’

Alia Bhatt and Shefali Shah are set to take the audience on a thrilling journey in their upcoming film, ‘Darlings’. The teaser of their much awaited project has all the elements that would make for a racy ride of dreams and desires, and the extent to which these two women can go to get things rolling in their favour, reports Indian Express.

Produced by Gauri Khan, Alia Bhatt, and Gaurav Verma, ‘Darlings’ marks the full-length feature debut of director Jasmeet K Reen.

Teaser of ‘Darlings’ shows, the world of Alia and Shefali, a mother-daughter duo living a humble life. Their life around the surroundings is not easy. They are kind of women who would go to any length for their survival in this patriarchy society. Vijay Varma and Roshan Mathew seem smitten by them, yet suspicious of each other’s presence in their lives, never realising that they are being played like pawns in the larger scheme of things by Alia and Shefali.

Alia and Shefali are under the lens for an apparent murder and their argument is they are innocent as they just killed the victim in their imagination. From being witty to eccentric, the two actors are set to give us a power-packed performance. The teaser has Alia telling the famous story of a scorpion and a frog crossing a river. She’s hinting at the basic nature of a creature, which remains the same, given any situation.

The film is a dark-comedy that explores the lives of a mother-daughter duo who try to find their place in Mumbai. It’ll release on Netflix on August 5.
