New Delhi: Talented Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt turned producer with 'Darlings', the dark thriller which streamed on Netflix today. The film is co-produced by Shah Rukh Khan's production house Red Chillies Entertainment. Besides Alia, it also features Shefali Shah, Roshan Mathew and Vijay Varma.

WHY BOYCOTT DARLINGS?

After haters targetted Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan's 'Laal Singh Chaddha', netizens also trended hashtags hitting out at Alia's film. #BoycottAliaBhatt and #BoycottDarlings trended on Twitter for the longest. But why? Well, some felt that the actress is promoting domestic violence against men through the film.   

Society : woman is only victim of domestic violence.

They always neglected the violence against the man by woman.

Men's always neglected from society.

Make fun on men's death.
