Trade expert Sumit Kadel shared his review of the film on Twitter and wrote, “Manifest a pertinent message on domestic violence by fusing humor & thrill in the narrative but screenplay gets stretched towards last 40 mins with unconvincing series of events. Absence of Smart writing & powerful climax makes darlings an average watch.

#DarlingsOnNetflix #Darlings Raws. Reals. Relevants. ‘Darlings’ wins your heart from the first frame to the last. Alia-Shefali-Vijay-Roshan all deliver superlative performances. ‘Darlings’ is easily the best OTT product to have come out in recent times! (4 stars) pic.twitter.com/2989jDQNtJ

#Darlings would be one of the few films that I would have loved in cinemas. Thoroughly entertaining and what a script. Alia just keeps on proving she is on top of her game. Films like these getting dumped on OTT is just sad. This would have surely done well in cinemas.

#DarlingsReview
Story revolves around an alcoholic husband, his treatment towards his wife n mother in law, perfect setting, casting n performance. Story looses grip in some place but dialogs save it. Climax can appeal some,some not.Women will like it more#AliaBhatt #Darlings pic.twitter.com/bEluTthN1O
