Darlings Trailer
The trailer is a perfect amalgamation of dark humor and just a complete blend of thrill to keep one hooked on the story. The trailer begins with Hamza Shaikh declaring that he has decided to leave his wife Badrunissa and which thus leads to the beginning of a dark albeit fun journey.
Badrunissa and her mother filed a complaint to find Hamza who has gone missing. Another glimpse is of Badrunissa being abused by her husband Hamza. And so she decides to treat him just the way he has been treating her, which is anything, but kind.
“Enough defense, I will play offense now” is Badrunissa’s motto and she sticks to it. She hides Hamza in the house with the help of her mother and Badrunissa makes sure that she teaches him a lesson. Simply put together, these Darlings are not the kindest.
