The teaser of Netflix's Darlings (2022) sees Alia Bhatt narrating a fable about a frog and a scorpion while a series of events play out on the screen. Bhatt has a cute moment with Vijay Varma's character, which soon turns into a full-blown romance. It seems the two get married with the blessings of her mother, played by Shefali Shah.
Additionally, there is also Roshan Mathews's character and, for some unexplained reason, there is some hostility between Varma and Roshan's characters who don't seem to see eye-to-eye.
But the teaser suddenly takes a dark turn and we see Bhatt and Shah being interrogated at a police station by a cop played by Vijay Maurya. The teaser hints that the mother-daughter duo is harbouring some secrets and have hatched a sinister plan. The teaser immediately grabs your interest with its intriguing visuals and dark comedy undertone.
Darlings is Bhatt’s first home production. The actress is co-producing the film with Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment. Directed by Jasmeet K Reen, the film will be out on Netflix on 5 August.
