Netflix dropped the teaser of Alia Bhatt starrer Darlings and people are loving it. Dark Comedy, this exceptionally potent genre has never been explored enough in Bollywood.
If we try to jog our memory, then about 11 years ago we got Delhi Belly. No doubt it is an amazingly funny movie but after that, we never got something of that level.
Fukrey, Andhadhun tried the same and they are indeed great films per se. Still, they are very few in number and need much more expedition.
In the teaser of Darlings, the teaser announcement video clearly says that the film is going to be a dark comedy. Having an ensemble cast of Alia Bhatt, Shefali Shah, Vijay Varma and Roshan Mathew the teaser is gripping, to say the least.
Quite obviously, the promotions have just begun and they are going on a great scale. Shahrukh Khan, Karan Johar and a lot of biggies promoted them and mind you that the trailer is yet to come.
Overall, the chances of Darlings doing good are high because it explores something which many films haven’t touched. On top of that, Alia Bhatt is enjoying a phenomenal phase in her career. No doubt, a direct-to OTT film will definitely garner views and may uproot the views of Gangubai Kathiawadi.
But it all depends on the film which will release on 5th August.
