'Darling' is said to have all the elements like love, action and entertainment is sure to attract masses from all age groups with Prabhas giving an impressive performance in the film.

Darling is a 1965 British drama film written by Frederic Raphael, directed by John Schlesinger, and starring Julie Christie with Dirk Bogarde and Laurence Harvey.

Darling was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. Christie won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Diana Scott. The film also won the Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Costume Design.

Shirley MacLaine was originally cast as Diana,[1] but was replaced by Christie. Production on Darling commenced in August 1964 and wrapped in December.[2] It was filmed on location in London, Paris, and Rome.[3] The final scene was shot at Heathrow Airport in London.[3][4]

Despite having been garlanded with awards at the time of release, the film has a mixed reputation now. In his New Biographical Dictionary of Film entry on Schlesinger, David Thomson writes that the film "deserves a place in every archive to show how rapidly modishness withers. Beauty is central to the cinema and Schlesinger seems an unreliable judge of it, over-rating Christie and rarely getting close enough to the action to make a fruitful stylistic bond with it".[5] Leonard Maltin's Film Guide describes it as a "trendy, influential '60s film – in flashy form and cynical content".[6] Tony Rayns though, in the Time Out Film Guide, is as damning as Thomson. For him, the film is a "leaden rehash of ideas from Godard, Antonioni and Bergman", although with nods to the "Royal Court school", which "now looks grotesquely pretentious and out of touch with the realities of the life-styles that it purports to represent."[7]
