Fans poured their adoration and respect for 'Darlings' in the comments section. One social media enthusiast lauded, "Your portrayal of the character was so authentic and relatable, making the film a true reflection of life's complexities." Another remarked on the film's social significance, stating, "The movie was so good, especially the social message it delivered."
'Darlings' was co-produced by Shah Rukh Khan's production house, Red Chillies Entertainment. Vijay, buoyed by his recent series of accomplishments, took the opportunity to express his gratitude to the audience. He stated, "It feels awesome to have back-to-back successes and to receive this magnitude of love and compliments...I've realised that there's a strong connection that the audience has with me and that gives me motivation to make bolder choices and work harder."
'Darlings,' set in a conservative lower-middle-class neighbourhood in Mumbai, tells the engaging tale of an unconventional mother-daughter duo, navigating challenging circumstances with fortitude and affection. Marking Alia Bhatt's debut production venture, the film casts her alongside Shefali Shah, Vijay Varma, and Roshan Mathew in critical roles. Infused with elements of dark comedy, the movie confronts societal pressures and boldly challenges patriarchal norms. It underscores that tolerating abuse is never acceptable. The plot thickens as the love marriage of Hamza and Badru turns sour due to Hamza's transformation into an abusive, alcoholic husband. A tragic turn of events catalyzes her quest for vengeance.
