It’s already been a year since Vijay Varma, Alia Bhatt, and Shefali Shah’s Darlings released on Netflix. Yeah, one year flew just like that, and we had a smartly curated dark comedy-drama on our screens. While the three are already stunning with their acting skills and have provided quality movies, the trio has set the bar high with Darlings. The Jasmeet Reen-directed gem has perfectly bundled crime, toxicity, and comedy all together in one.

Speaking of Darlings completing one year since its release, actors Vijay Varma, Alia Bhatt and Shefali Shah have taken the success to their Instagram handle and penned short notes for the same. While we can’t forget the gripping and captivating storyline, we also want to bring up three life lessons that the film taught us. Yes, apart from comedy, drama, and a thrilling narrative, Darlings has also given us life lessons. Let’s check it out!

When Alia Bhatt showed us the right time to walk out of a toxic relationship

Knowing when to walk out of a toxic relationship is the foremost lesson that Darling taught us. Irrespective of how much you are loved by your partner, your respect comes first and should be above and beyond anybody else. It’s true when they say that love makes you blind, Darlings is proof of the same. Alia Bhatt playing the role of Vijay Varma’s wife suffers disrespect, violence and loses her self-identity until she decides to it give back. Atta girl!

To know that there’s no right age to fall in love

Shefali Shah in Darlings taught us that there is no right age to fall in love. Rather than forcing yourself to fall in love or succumbing to the lonely feeling when not in love, Shefali Shah is proof that she was also in love with her husband, but that did not turn out to be fruitful for her, as she kills him in the film. Gosh, what a charm of an actress!

Not to compromise on your individuality

The film takes a gripping turn when Alia Bhatt traps Vijay Varma in the house, and by the end of the film, Vijay accidentally dies in front of a train. Until here, the movie keeps your eyes glued to the screen. After this, Alia Bhatt opens herself to the priceless freedom of doing things on her own, taking herself out, and enjoying the little things in life. We, being attracted to a particular person, start neglecting our own individuality and begin compromising for our partner. The way Alia gets back to her real self after coming out of a toxic relationship is something we all need to remember throughout and every day.

Well, despite the life lessons given in Darlings, the film has successfully won hearts of the audience and will forever be a gem.
