Darlings, the latest venture by Netflix is insanely successful on the platform. Having Alia Bhatt, Vijay Varma, Shefali Shah, and Roshan Mathew in the lead role, what caught the attention most are the performances.
The eye-rolling by the leading ladies, the devil inside by Vijay Varma, and Roshan Mathew as a cute guy have proved highly effective.
For those who haven’t watched the movie, it portrays Vijay Varma as Hamza who is a violent man and beats his wife Badru played by Alia Bhatt.
There are a few villainous performances that spark a feeling of disgust from the audience. The actors play their roles so perfectly that the audience gets almost convinced that the man playing the role has those devilish characters in himself.
Angad Bedi in Pink and Pallavi Joshi in The Kashmir Files are good and recent examples of actors who evoked disgust from the audience.
Vijay Varma’s Hamza now falls in the same league of characters. A lot of people on Twitter have pointed out that they wanted to hurt or even kill Hamza while watching the film.
But even after all these opinions, what matters most to the actors, makers, and Netflix is the success of the film. In that department, Darlings does not disappoint and has really emerged as a great tonic to Netflix which was nothing less than pathetic in the past few months.
