Darlings teaser narrates a cautionary tale of Scorpion and Frog that will sting its way to your hearts
FirstpostNetflix dropped the teaser for its upcoming dark comedy titled Darlings which stars Alia Bhatt, Shefali Shah, Vijay Varma and Roshan Mathew in titular roles. It won’t be wrong to say that Bollywood hasn’t had the best track record when it comes to dark comedies barring a few exceptions, most notably Andhadhun, Delhi Belly and Dev D. In an age where every director and producer wishes to play safe and only wants to go for sports biopics and slice-of-life comedy-dramas, Darlings is a breath of fresh air which proves that the Indian film industry is not afraid to experiment and take calculated risks every now and then instead of falling back into same old tropes that we have seen in Hindi films several times. The teaser opens with Alia Bhatt’s character telling us the story of a Frog and a Scorpion, a tale we have all grown up listening to. The film has also left Alia’s fans excited as the actress might be seen playing an antagonist, or perhaps, a gray character with questionable morals, which will indeed be a breath of fresh air.
