The teaser of Alia Bhatt 's production debut Darlings released today. Alia Bhatt and Shefali Shah are set to take the audience on a thrilling journey in their upcoming film, Darlings. Alia Bhatt starrer Darlings arrives on Netflix on August 5.
The teaser begins with Alia Bhatt watching a movie in a theatre, when a voiceover begins to tell the story of a frog resting by a river, who happens to befriend a scorpion. Alia Bhatt and Vijay Varma are the metaphorical frog and scorpion, going by the narrative but their roles are not defined. Another scene features Shefali Shah and Alia Bhatt smiling with all their hearts while Vijay Varma looks perplexed.
Alia Bhatt and Shefali Shah are seen sitting in a police station, when Alia says, "The killing was just in our imagination." The highlight of the film is the stellar star cast and the undertones of humour in a dark, dark world. We can't wait to meet these 'Darlings' soon.
Sharing the teaser, Alia Bhatt wrote: "It's just a tease Darlings. Arriving 5th August. Darlings on Netflix."

Produced by Gauri Khan, Alia Bhatt, and Gaurav Verma, the film is the debut full-length feature for director Jasmeet K Reen. Darlings also brings together the absolute greats of music- music composer Vishal Bhardwaj and lyricist Gulzar.
