- Movie Talkies
3.0 "Darling's unpredictability makes the story grip you"
- B4U
3.0 "a novel experience since Hindi films have rarely combined horror and comedy -- two diverse ingredients -- in one film. Trust RGV to think out of the box and fortunately, it works"
- IndiaFM

- RadioSargam
3.0 "an engaging fare and a must watch "

- NDTV
Average Reviews
2.5 "works in fits and spurts, a pretty watchable film, but with the flavour of a short, made-for-TV movie"
- Rediff
2.5 "works because all its ingredients fall into right places. The movie will entertain you and spook you mildly"
- ApunKaChoice
2.5 "a partial thriller"
- IndiCine
2.5 "scores an average in every department. May be not worth a watch in theatre, rent a DVD when it's out"
- Now Running
2.5 "not a bad watch. And proves that contrary to popular belief, this filmmaker hasn't lost the plot completely yet"
- Times Now
2.5 "An above average film that is alternatively intriguing and engaging as well"
- Bollywood Mantra
Negative Reviews
2.0 "direction of Ram Gopal Varma lacks his Midas touch and the director seems to be least interested in doing this job"
- Magna Mags
2.0 "has its patches of sunshine; it’s a decent watch"
- Mid-Day
2.0 "this one’s well shot, sharply edited and has an interesting background score, but nothing to really hook the viewer, except a few scattered chuckles"
- Cybernoon
2.0 "is not as boring as CASH and as senseless as RGV KI AAG, all the same you could do well to treat your DARLING to some other fare"
- Glamsham
2.0 "has no boring moments, and in any case is worth a watch for its look-and-feel and its thrills. Just don't expect the usual pace and grip of a Ram Gopal Varma film"
- Full Hyderabad
2.0 "Varma continues his losing streak with another sub-standard thriller"
- BBC Films
2.0 "is hardly a relief for Ram Gopal Varma who is yet to recover from Aag burns"

- IBN Live
2.0 "Love never stood a ghost of a chance in Ramu's cinema"
- AllBollywood.com
2.0 "from a filmmaker who has given us Rangeela, Satya, Bhoot and Sarkar , this one just doesn’t come close"
- IndiaTimes
1.5 "This Darling has no oomph"
- Times Of India
1.0 "after emerging from his bhoot-a-hoot, you feel quite haunted"
- Hindustan Times
1.0 "a suspense thriller which makes you laugh instead of making you clench your nails into the seat"
- Without Giving The Movie Away
1.0 "there’s not one scary moment in the whole, just unintended laughter the misguided 'ghost' and her victims provide"
- The Indian Express
