Movie Review - Darling

-

DARLINGS

 Darlings is a 2022 Indian Hindi language dark comedy. Alia Bhatt gives one of her best performances in the movie about a woman's revenge on her violent husband. This movie talks about domestic violence. The husband is an alcoholic, who sexually assaults her but the wife does not question it. But we can also see Alia Bhatt getting beaten up every night for a new reason every time. Sometimes it's about food. It's just because she sat in a  colony meeting  without the husband's consent and once because  she is having an affair. The intensity of abuse gets disturbing and more intense with each day. Darling shows how a middle class mother and daughter who is caught in their own circumstantial hunger ups gradually discusses their inner strength to survive in a city like Mumbai battling all odds.

   Will I be ever enough?  Skills! They say it matters the most   Don't I have any or is there something that's covering it up?  My insecurities, perplexion and doubts,   That I've been carrying its weight for so long,   A big stage, focused audience and the three people who are especially invited to judge me,   To judge all my mistakes and strengths  Echoed my voice a thousand times.  What if I'm considered an unskilled person?  By all those who didn't even know I existed on this planet until now.  'Just go with the flow   Dive into the sea  Accept your flaws'  Told the beloved ones   But it didn't leave a single tint of acceptance  Acceptance of myself  Acceptance of the way I am  For at the end all I've got is 'me'  Pondered the mind so much   Will I be ever enough?

From novels and short stories to poetry, these narratives help us better understand the invisible battles people face and the emotions that are often left unspoken. On the 26th of September 2024, the English Department hosted a thought-provoking mental health awareness program that emphasized the role of literature and cinema in destigmatizing mental health issues. Led by two speakers from the Department of Postgraduate Studies in Psychology, Miss Tessi and Miss Vaidehi, the event provided an enlightening discussion on how literature and film have historically contributed t

Unburdened Soul

     I harbored anger      Not at everything hurled my way       Or the sharpness of words that could have been fatal.       It wasn't about the potential disaster for everyone around me.       My anger stemmed from allowing them to hit me with full force,      Neglecting the consequences for my heart,       Already too broken to break again.      At war with my emotions, my thoughts,       My actions were beyond comprehension.       Lost love, believing never to be found.       But for how long will I blame the reality      And the burns in my heart      Which I cannot tell the world.       Now I know what I must do, at once      I must stop the crimson fluid from flowing,       And painting the ocean red      For once I give myself a second chance      To forgive myself      To love myself more.
