Helmed by debutant Jasmeet K Reen, Darlings is a dark comedy centered around the marriage of Alia Bhatt and Vijay Varma. The story is a powerful take on domestic abuse and revolves around Alia Bhatt`s retaliation after facing abuse at the hands of her husband Humza.

Shefali Shah and Roshan Mathew are also a part of the film, which was released on Netflix on Friday. `Darlings`, which is co-produced by Alia under her banner Eternal Sunshine Productions with Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan`s Red Chillies, has been receiving rave reviews.

Ahead of the release of `Darlings`, SRK had shared how anxious he is about the film.

In a tweet, he had written, "Lil one I am also so anxious that u shared the responsibility of Eternal Sunshine Productions' first film with me...that I will be biting my nails till it releases. But I feel we have a lovely film and u r the soul and sunshine of all things Darlings."

For the unversed, Alia and SRK share a cordial relationship ever since the two starred together in `Dear Zindagi`, which was released in 2016. 

Shah Rukh played the role of a psychiatrist called Dr. Jehangir Khan. While treating Alia Bhatt in the film, Shah Rukh`s character gave important life lessons to the audience with his powerful dialogues. The film emerged as a hit at the box office.
