Alia Bhatt’s recently released film, Boycott Darlings has received a lot of flak from Twitter users. In this news piece, we will tell why Twitterati are angry with Alia Bhatt’s film Darlings.
With the dark thriller currently streaming on Netflix, “Darlings,” the talented Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt made the transition to production. Red Chillies Entertainment, a production company owned by Shah Rukh Khan, is a co-producer of the movie. Along with Alia, Shefali Shah, Roshan Mathew, and Vijay Varma are included.
Why Do Twitter Users Want To Boycott Darlings?
Following criticism of “Laal Singh Chaddha” starring Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, internet users likewise made hashtags critical of Alia’s Darlings. Twitter’s trending topic for the longest was #BoycottDarlings. Yet why? Some people believed that the actress was using the movie to encourage domestic violence against males.
A Twitter handle named MenToo has stated that the film is insensitive towards the domestic violence that certain men often face at the hands of women. The Twitter handle convenes that men are always ignored by society when it comes to violence against them by the opposite gender.
Society : woman is only victim of domestic violence.

The major reason why the movie is being criticized (as per the Twitter users) is that it seems to promote violence against men & the movie is also ignorant about the fact that men do actually face violence at the hands of women.
About The Film
