    You missed 2 important aspects from the movie.
    1. The whole bicchoo take.
    2. Shamsu saying "sirf Twitter walo k liye zamana badla hai hamare jaiso k liye nahi "
    These dialogues has a lot of depth in them

    My sister told me to watch this movie. I was in an abusive relationship for 10 years, the same issue with alcoholism and drugs. It took me 10 years to come out of it despite my family being so supportive. An abusive chain is hard to break, once an abuser always an abuser. End of the story. As mentioned here I live in Canada despite all the resources I was a victim of brainwashing and self-pity. I realized that fighting with your inner self is harder than the abuser. You are the one only who can break the chain of abuse.I still consider myself lucky to come out of the situation. Living a very successful life here now, finishing my studies and working in the school system. Thanks to Allah

    SPOILER DARLINGS:
    They were never going to redeem hamza, hamza was a selfish character and that was always shown to us, he didnt stop drinking because of Badru's pregnancy or the promise he made, he quit drinking due to cirrhosis, so he doesn’t end up dying…..
    he goes home and then gets to know that she’s pregnant so he portrays in front of her that he is a “changed man” even in the song laa ilaaj, he gives badru a “new phone” but he just took that from the dead body they found at the train station…. So he was just pretending to be a changed man

    Dude aamir khan is certainly not overrated. He has done some really exceptional films like 3 idiots, tare zameen par, andaz apna apna etc. And it's true that his works may include some flops as well, but as an actor and a person, he is really likeable. I know that shahrukh khan's fandom is nowhere comparable, but calling amir a perfectionist for his work, I don't think is wrong

    Darlings have a progressive storyline unlike most of our dramas. Never once was violence glamourized and from the very beginning, it was shown in a bad light. Women were not crying or taking abuse like they deserved it. The reason for Alia to stay in the abusive marriage was not that she had no other choice but she stayed for love. It was her choice. In our dramas, girls ain't usually given this choice and at times when they are, it usually comes with a choice to live alone forever with "talaq ka dhabba". The ending was also exceptionally well.

      @Devyani pandey I am talking about the op who said that staying in the marriage out of love and not obligation is progressive.Staying in an abusive marriage whether it is out of “love” or societal obligations is never progressive.If you still love your abuser and choose to stay with them, it is a form of trauma bonding or Stockholm syndrome.In this movie, she killed her abuser, ofcourse.But I am replying in regards to the initial comment. You don’t need to get so defensive

    Me and my mother in law were discussing throughout the movie that how natural looking Alia and Shifali's makeup and dressing is. You can tell these people are from middle or lower middle class family. They are wearing such normal prints and no one looks glamours. Whereas our dramas show gareeb tareen larki with full face makeup and straight hair. I loved how Alia Bhatt had the hair bun like we all do when we are doing chores around the house. Sooo relatable in terms of how both mother and daughter looked.

      Earlier Pakistani dramas used to be liked this. Especially in comparison to Indian dramas. I remember when zindagi channel started in India this was one factor that hooked us all. Like in Zindagi Gulzar hai, how natural was Kashaf from her tuti chappal to mediocre kitchen. unfortunately in the name of high production quality Pakistani dramas have lost touch with reality.

    An abuser will always be an abuser. There is no other way about this statement. If you think that your abusive partner will somehow miraculously change one day, believe me it's not going to happen. I have learned this lesson after wasting the precious 22 years of my life. And finally made myself free and able to breathe free, yes I said breath freely!.

    The highlight of darlings was to emphasize that the abuser does not change. They are not worth romanticizing which is a highlight of Pakistani dramas that fleetingly show abuse for TRP ratings.

  • @MiraasbyMariyamDawood
    @MiraasbyMariyamDawood Рік тому +44

    one important thing that sets Darling apart from Pakistani dramas these days is that the male lead is not romantised and sympathized even for a moment. Even when they show his vulnerable side or his problems, you understand him but you do not like him. The main thing for me was this - you do not like Hamza at all even when he is good you are constantly made aware about what a monster he is.

    Unfortunately, abusers can only change if THEY actually want to not when everyone around them want them to and that requires determination and effort, which many people aren't willing to do. I doubt any abuser can ever change especially when the abuse is frequent. People even assume that having a kid would magically change their spouse but that's an even worst idea because in such cases abusers become abusive to their own children as well or children grow up seeing abuse which is equally as destructive. These same children grow up to either become abusers or be in abusive relationships themselves. The only solution is to break the cycle and take therapy which still many people aren't aware about.

    Oh c'mon ! Aamir Khan is a feeling yaar . Kya hogaya apko Hassan bhai .
    He deserves the "alkaab" that he is being honoured with . He deserves even more love and respect ! Ek movie nhi chali , tou kya hua ... Look at his past work yaar . Dangal , pk , 3 idiots and my most favourite *Taaray Zameen par" ....Khair , apka apna opinion hai , but I found it lil bit offensive being a die hard fan of Amir Khan , from the very childhood. #nevermind .

    I think kankar drama of Sanam Baloch was a Pakistani show which showed domestic violence, I remember liking it in the end because they did not glorify the husband's character and showed Sanam coming out of it. and also khaas drama of Sanam Baloch dealt with mental and emotional abuse.

    Loved darlings! Loved the review as well! Completely on point.
    I think another solid reason for a strong audience impact was the casting. Other than the ensemble casting I’m glad they didnt take a conventional hero opposite Aliaa because majority of the subcontinental audience start sympathising with even an abuser if its played by a favourite hero. This is the case in pakistani dramas as well, the heroes are romanticised because the audience is used to loving the face behind the character. And ofcourse the error in writing is there too in some.

    About Aamir khan: Infact Salman n sharukh are very pompous. People don't even know what work Aamir khan is doing through his Pani foundation in Maharashtra as it's telecasted on marathi channels. Watch maulana tarik jameels video on how humble he found aamir. Unfortunately, he speaks truth and people don't like him. He had criticized Modi and taken strong stance at many occasions hence target of hate due to his religion.
    He publicly apologised when Thugs of Hindustan didn't work... How many stars do that?

    I think in terms of Pakistani Dramas Kankar and Udaan got it. These dramas were serious and kept the focus on the issue. Not for a moment the male lead was made into a hero, the female lead takes charge and turns things around for herself. That is why the assault here was not unbearable to watch ( obviously it's triggering),doesn't ever feel forced or uses for masala factor. They put forward a very strong and direct message from OST to poster to story and screensplay

I think Aamir should go back to his roots and stop copying films 2 flop copies back to back.. and copying such an iconic film was always a bad idea.

    Don't agree with you Hassan that Aamir Khan is overrated, in fact the kind of movies Aamir Khan did shows more versatility in his whole career which no other Khan achieved.
    Lagaan and Dil Chahta hai released within span of 2-3 weeks and those two movies in 2000 were trend changing cinema in Bollywood.
    Lal Singh Chaddha may not be his best work but it failed because of communal society here and boycott gang.
    Now if you move ahead of 2000 you will see movies like Rang de Basanti, Fanaa, Ghajani, Tare Zameen Par, Dhobi Ghat, Talaash, Dhoom3, 3 Idiots, Dangal, PK were all time top grosser as well as critically acclaimed movies and they set the industry on content movies.
    So before saying someone overrated at least check the kind of work he has done throughout his career. At least this kind of lack of knowledge is not expected from critics like you.

    Both my grandads had beaten their wives in the first decade of marriage, often after being instigated by other relatives. But they were also the loveliest of men to the world and the rest of us. My dad raised his hand once but mum told him if he ever does so again she will call the police. He never did again. But he was emotionally and verbally abusive throughout our childhood. I also know of someone who's dad beat their mum and they also did the same. The cycle can be broken or repeats itself. But it causes damage either way. I know many childhoods destroyed and these issues leave imprints. Subconsciously it stays with you. I've had fear of marriage ever since and have only seen it as entrapment for women.

    #LalSinghChaddha didn't do well bcz of #boycott lobby. Amir Khan was already boycotted bcz of previous kiran rao's statement of India not being tolerant or livable anymore. The controversy took place quite few years ago. But since then Amir Khan is boycotted by Godi media & Modi bhakts. Why Salman Khan is not boycotted cz he previously praised Modi, flew kites not like amir khan who has openly spoken against current situation in our country.

    Hi Aamnaji and Hassanji I am an Indian living in UK. I always watch your reviews and a big fan of Pak dramas. I watched Darlings and I can relate to that because I am a victim of domestic abuse. I moved out and my divorce under process. For me abuse started after 1 year of marriage. First it was verbal then turned to physical. I was in Dubai that time. Then like Alia's character I also hoped it will stop.My husband also had drinking problems. I came to UK because I want to escape. After 2 years I brought him here.After few years all started again . He verbally abuses my mum and brother also. I don't have the permission to talk to them .My mum who was in India ,I usually talk to her while he was at work. I am a nurse. He abused me financially, emotionally, and physically as well. I have a daughter .Like every Asian women I thought I want a father figure in my daughter's life. I had bruises in my body which my colleagues saw as well. How ironic it is as a A&E nurse we are supposed to notice on patients and report it and provide support here, but in my case I couldn't do it. My manager who is an English lady who was very supportive . I was only one nurse in A&E who was from India and Pak. But I have some doctors from India and Pak. Any way I moved out from my house to hospital accommodation with my daughter. I decided to move out because I noticed that it affecting my daughter's life as well. She is a brilliant student but it was affecting her studies and emotional as well. Now I lost all my money also. My mum who was a teacher who supported me my brother as well who is in Dubai. So when I watched Darlings it affected both me and my daughter. But I love that movie. We are still going through counselling sessions for us because of the trauma. But we are happy now. I got my freedom to watch TV and read books which I couldn't do it before. I love your reviews and love you both. Like Aamnaji I am a big fan of Fawad Khan and Firoz Khan. Love u .

    Dear, Hassan and Amna, firstly I wanna say this for a long time that I’ve been really enjoying your reviews, on the spots, haute bites, haute golds, beyond boarders and interviews for the longest time. It’s like watching your videos is like a part of a daily routine now. So thank you for being a positive addition in my life. Now coming to the request, I’d really request you to not cryptically or hush hush-ly talk about movies or shows on beyond borders, you could add a disclaimer or say it in the introduction that people who have watched the shows or movies which you are talking about should watch this unless they don’t wanna spoil the fun for themselves, by that the people who have already watched, including you both can openly talk about it.. like they way you didn’t wanted to give it away about conclusions and stuff, but I’d have loved to hear and know what you both had to say. So please, let it be an open discussions and reviews with disclaimer that “watch it only if you’ve watched it or enjoy the spoilers” :P
    Thank you for reading this, if you have actually read it.
    Sending both of you so much love and good energies.
    - Varsha, India.

    Excellent review of Amna and Hassan on Darlings. Beautiful understading of Amna about relashionship of mother and daughter. They showed it so naturally. Hamarey dramon mein tou aik larki pe abuse ho raha hai tou har koi abuse kar raha hai that does not look natural. And the style they showed about lower middle class people aur unka rehn sehn is so simple and natural that catches you up whole of the movie. Lekin aik baat Shifali ne 16 aaney sahi ki jo wo story batati hai bichoo aur mandek ki, bilkul sahi ke bichoo kabhi apni fitrat nahi badal sakta, ager mard ne aik baar hath utha liya tou bus phir wo apni fitrat dikhata hi rahe ga, is liye is pe kabhi aitbar mat karo. Pata nahi mujhe tou samajh nahi aati ke khawatein kiyun aesey relationships ko sari zindagi le kar chalti rehti hai sirf is aas pe ke mard kabhi badal jaey ga. Yaad hai Badru aakhir mein maan sey kehti hai ke mein tou mandak hoon na aur Hamza ko khol deti hai. This is the moral of the story. Worth seeing brilliant movie.

    If it's about comparing our dramas let's not do that. In Darlings, she fights back eventually meanwhile in Pakistani dramas the girl remains a bechari till the last episode. In one of the recent dramas like Mere Humsafar, the girl (Hala) is completely helpless and is getting tortured in each episode if we saw her pull the reigns of her story that would've been interesting but plz don't compare them. Pakistani writers are yet to write good female characters that fight back.

    2. What if he had not been hit by the train accidentally? He definitely would have taken revenge.

      So my take is that, none of the things they did or planned were full proof or very intelligent because at the end of the day these are to women from low income household living in a typical chawl and probably not too educated. No matter how strong Shamsu is, divorce is still a taboo for her, No matter what lengths Badri went to take revenge, she was too depressed to ever come up with a good plan. " Feeling aegi tab bataungi" was her plan all along. I think they internationally kept these flaws attached to the characters because that reality. In real life no one is Charlie's angel, the maneuvered in their given circumstance.

    Badru put up with Hamza maybe hoping for him to change. But once the realisation dawned that it will not she took charg and owned the situation.
    No where is she weak but just hoping for a change. Women need to acknowledge that there are times when things will not change and you need to get out before the worst happens.
