Monica, O My Darling

Before I get into the nitty-gritty of my analysis, I shall convey my sincere admiration for Vasan Bala and the stupendous job he has done as the Director here! Black Comedies are quite tough to pull off, one little mistake, and the whole shebang could go off the track at any given time, at any given moment.

Not to mention the Writing has to be precise and it should also conserve a tonal equilibrium between the comedy and the heart-stricken calamities. Any presence of incompetence in its supervision will spoil the party and the film will end up being a middling affair filled with nothing but mediocrities.

Vasan Bala, however, is one unique force to be reckoned with, especially in this specific realm that employs tragedies and their subsequent results. Not only is he aware of his mastership, but it also is one such genre he's quite familiar with, and let me give you some assurance here, he owned it, and he did not disappoint; on the contrary, I do feel this is his best work to date.

P. S. One of the finest usage of Background Music I have ever seen (or heard) in my entire lifetime. Now, some of you might argue that it's overstuffed, matter of fact, it probably is, yes, but Mr. Bala's approach served the narrative nonetheless!

Rajkumar Rao worked as he do always, Good.

Huma Huma Huma... As Monica she is Fab.

Kher Shahab fan always.

Perumal Ji Have only some scenes gives a laughter.

Radhika Apte - nice.

The timing of Comedy is well Managed and Delivered.

Storyline is Good and Engaging.

Somewhere it feels like story is going down but it's okay.

They Recreated the Location of The Hotel Prince Amer - Jewel Theif Devanand's Classic Movie.

Just of a moment but that's good.

While watching pause in moments and notice goods things.. Like - (thank you for pausing to read names)

Nicely written and directed. A worth Watch.

• itsbymayank Review of Monica O My Darling.

As a gym instructor, I always make fun of fellas from accounts department cos of their pot bellies n thakela (low energy) attitude.

I saw this few days back on Netflix.

I regret not seeing this earlier.

The movie is very entertaining n has enuff thrills n humor.

Haven't read Burutasu No Shinzou by Keigo Higashino upon which this movie is based on.

Rajkumar Rao wearing a t-shirt with the logo of Giant Robo is epic. The guy is a terrific actor.

The movie has three good babes.

I didn't like Huma Qureshi.

Akansha Ranjan Kapoor is a busty babe, Radhika is an athletic built babe n Zayn Marie Khan is hot.

The movie will make you feel that Monica is a real darling

What a format and the director Vasan left no corner to make it a perfect one..the Dark comedy is of out class with a good pace and amazing twists..such dark and sharp scenes will give you goosebumps..the aesthetics were exactly designed to the format..the overall glance is very stylish..the core part of the movie is the background score which plays the Monica song and slow classical songs takes to the movie to a high class level

Huma was outstanding with her 3rd performance in a row after maharani and double xl raj kumar well supported her and no less radhika came brilliantly with her new comic role

Glance of sriram raghavan direction was felt in each single frame

Outclass cinematic experience.

The moment the movie starts you know that you are in for a roller coaster ride. Slick editing, retro music, background score immediately engages the audience and the guessing game starts on who is the hunter and hunted. I would suggest that if you are going to watch in a group then raise a wager.

On the acting front it's a Rajkumar Rao show ably supported by the other actors most notably Huma Qureshi. Radhika Apte has very little to do but delivers with usual gusto.

Some chinks though in terms of too much background music, could have maintained more suspense etc. Could have shown more of Pune city and its vibrancy.

A few blink n miss cameos from actors who have played a couple in one move.

You will get the feeling of Johhny Gaddar and Andhadhun while watching this movie.

Seldom comes a movie with a story, screenplay, acting, direction etc. That's a perfect 10. Monica O My Darling just misses it's mark by a whisker.
