According to the Times of India , the film follows a quirky mother-daughter duo as they navigate through crazy circumstances while trying to find their place in the world. Set in Mumbai against the backdrop of a conservative lower-middle-class neighbourhood, Darlings traces the lives of these two women as they find courage and love in exceptional circumstances. Bhatt, who has turned producer with the film, said , “I am really excited to be part of Darlings; it’s a powerful story with a lot of humour and doses of dark comedy. I am thrilled to have Darlings as my first film as a producer, that too in collaboration with my favourite, Shah Rukh Khan and Red Chillies.” Written by Parveez Sheikh & Jasmeet, Darlings is being produced by Khan, Bhatt and Gaurav Verma. The film is slated to go on floors this month.
