Darlings

Darlings (2022) is an Indian dark comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Badru keeps believing her husband will quit hitting her the day he quits drinking. That day never quite arrives.

Alia Bhatt plays Badru, a woman from a Mumbai housing colony who has spent years excusing the bruises and waiting for the man she loves to change. Her mother Shamshu (Shefali Shah) ran out of patience long ago. When one rage goes a step too far, mother and daughter settle on revenge — improvised, clumsy, built on a plan that falls apart the second it starts. Vijay Varma makes the husband both menacing and oddly pathetic.

Jasmeet K Reen's debut refuses to turn domestic abuse into a sermon. It grabs a brutal subject and twists it through bitter laughter without ever letting you look away. Bhatt produces as well as anchors the whole thing. One for viewers who like their comedy with a sting that draws blood. Stream Darlings (2022) online on iFILM.
