Namrata Joshi

National Herald (India)

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...

Anupama Chopra

Film Companion

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

Shubhra Gupta

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.

Santanu Das

Hindustan Times

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.

As a psychology student, this is the best movie I've found on domestic abuse, overcoming it and healing not completely but mostly from it. I generally don't like Bollywood movies, but this is the best I've seen. Well done, everyone. The acting, directing, everything was spectacular. Hats off.
