The movie is good. Comedy was good. And it is thrilling. The highlight of the movie was comedy scenes. Songs and BGM were also excellent in the movie. Mainly Ghost Gopal Varma comedy was amazing.

A group of like-minded-suiciders go to a beach house to full stop their life. When intervened by supernatural, things take a turn for worse and the rest is..... Darling, the first film in the recent Tamil History to come with an English title, falls in the comedy-horror genre, a genre that attained popularity with Yamirukka Bayamey, Aranmanai. Surely this is not the last of this genre and some more can expected from Tamil Cinema. The movie succeeds on many steps: The humour has been used to such effect that any outside listener would find it hard to believe that a horror movie is being screened inside.. (given the laughs and claps.) But the traditional Horror stereotypes could have been avoided say the 12'O clock sharp-supernatural-appointment , the excessive kajal around the eyes of the supernatural, the cracked plaster make up, closing of doors. It is pleasing to see Karunas back after a brief hibernation as an avid suicide enthusiast. Noteworthy of his scenes is when he pranks a religious custom (still worried how it will be received). GV Prakash's (yes, the now familiar musician) debut has very little scope for acting given the only expression that he throws at us (while being thrown across the room several times) is "shock". Not shocking at all. Nikki Gilrani's debut would have been more acting friendly, if we could somehow peer through the plaster make up (which does a good job of hiding her expressions well). Several movies have been referenced (I, Puthiya paravai, Thuppaki, even a spoof TV show).Most surprising is when a movie referenced (I) runs in the next screen.The single most whistles in the movie goes to the cameo appearance of "Naan kadavul" Rajendran as Ghost Gopal Verma with an entry , credits to the graphic designers of Ghost Rider (yes, that Nic-Cage movie).With just two scenes he leaves the audiences in splits alongside a strong impression (his "I am waiting" was the first eye- turner for this low profile movie). On the whole the movie has overwhelmingly satisfied the viewers and is definitely worth a watch. A fair warning though, the comedy- horror genre slowly develops into comedy-horror-romantic genre towards the end. The only flaw (which comes only in the post-movie- post-mortem) is that excess humour can dissatisfy few (not sure of how much) who go in expecting a full- blown horror movie.Darling: Dear Devil.

'Darling' is an average horror comedy flick which works out good in few parts. Nowadays Kollywood audience are keen to watch horror comedy flicks. Keep your expectation level low and watch this flick at once.The casting of the film looks good. G.V. Prakash as debut hero, was convenient in his role and had scored well in songs and background music. Nikki Galrani looked cute and bubbly. Karunas & Bala Saravanan did their supporting roles in a decent manner.As a horror flick, this film has a weak storyline and does not have any scary quotient. But it has few comedy moments with some one-liners of Karunas & Bala Saravanan as a saving grace.Overall, forget this film as a horror flick and watch it as a comedy film.

CAST and CREW: awesome performance from bala saravanan, karunas and nikki galrani. although the acting performance of G.V.Prakash is average, his direction in music got applause.PLOT: This is not the movie for logic freaks, you would enjoy the movie if all you want is just smile in your face.(this is not thriller or any kinda mystery movie, so you cant expect any strong and interesting plot). and yea there are some cute romantic moments, so GO-GO for lovers! ;-) .. CINEMATOGRAPHY,SCREENPLAY: both of them remains as pros to movie. Although there aren't any horrifying moments, cinematographer gave their best to make the movie little horrifying. Actually the motive of director is just to give funny moments, so it's not a negative to the movie.VERDICT: 2015 starts with LOL moments!! worth watching!! HAV FUN!! :-)
