We couldn't have asked for anything more and now I can't wait to get on the floor!"

Darlings is touted to be a unique story of a quirky mother-daughter duo navigating through crazy circumstances as they try to find their place in the world. The dark comedy is set in Mumbai against the backdrop of a conservative lower middle-class neighbourhood and traces the lives of these two women as they find courage and love in exceptional circumstances.

Written by Parveez Sheikh and Jasmeet, the film is slated to go on floors this month.
