In the comment section, one Twitter user wrote, "Kudos As a woman I wish this effort was made earlier, good use of a trash movie. IMO this movie that glorified stalkers and obsessed killers, should never have been made at all". To this, one person replied, "Darr doesn't glorify the Character at all. The Character is shown as problematic only. And the Character dies at the end. After watching Darr I felt nobody should be like that Rahul Character". Tweeples can also be seen Retweeting the video with their own caption. In the caption, one person wrote, "Awesome video from @Uppolice. Great initiative. No means No".
