Mumbai, Jul 25 (IANS): The trailer of the upcoming dark comedy film 'Darlings' was unveiled on Monday in the Santacruz area of Mumbai. The trailer of the streaming film delves into the lives of a resilient mother-daughter, fighting for love and finding their footing in Mumbai whilst also battling their demons.

Talking about the film, Jasmeet K. Reen said, "It's been an exceptionally fulfilling creative journey from inception to seeing it come alive, along with the team at Red Chillies and Eternal Sunshine. This is my first film and I am fortunate to have worked with such amazing actors and a world class crew who have given the film more than I could ask for. I hope that Darlings will engage and entertain audiences and I can't wait to take my film global with Netflix."
