After ruling the screen and stealing hearts as the bewitching Gangubai Kathiawadi, British-Indian star Alia Bhatt is back again in Darlings, a new dark comedy where a mother-daughter duo is pitted against a male-dominant world.

In her latest film, Bhatt plays a femme fatale named Badru who hopes her volatile husband will reform if he stops drinking. But when his rage goes too far, she and her mum boldly, albeit clumsily, seek revenge.
