JAKARTA - Alia Bhatt's latest film, Darlings received a positive response internationally. Since its release on Netflix a week ago, this film has been watched by 10 million subscribers in its first week.
Launching Deadline, Darlings occupies the Top 10 in several countries such as the United States, Singapore, Malaysia, Tobago, Kenya, and many others.
This Indian film features the acting of the popular actress Alia Bhatt. But this film is also produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, Shah Rukh Khan's production house.
Darlings tells the story of Hamza (Vijay Varma), an alcoholic who often abuses his wife Badru (Alia Bhatt). After three years of marriage, Badru is looking for a way to stop her husband from getting drunk.
Badru tries to get pregnant so that Hamza can stop and care for them and their household. Together with his mother, Badru did his own thing and reported to the police that Hamza had not been home for a long time.
Things changed when the police launched an investigation into Hamza's disappearance. Now Badru is trying to find a point so that his actions are not known to the authorities.
An international success, Darlings was rejected in India. Some consider this film to promote violence against men.
The BBC reports that the Save Indian Family Foundation, a men's rights organization, said many men who were victims of violence were traumatized after seeing the trailer.
Alia Bhatt, who is also the producer of Darlings, also received boycott requests.
The film Darlings by Jasmeet K. Reen can be watched on Netflix.
