Monica O My Darling is a wonderful movie and a black comedy genre at its best! The story is quite racy and exciting, keeps the audience guessing and to the edge of the seat. Like in Sriram Raghavan's movies, in this movie too old hindi song has been used intelligently. The background music by Achint Thakkar too is in sync with the flavour of the movie.

The dialogues are quite witty and crisp- especially tu chronology samajh is a bold dialogue given the time & circumstances! It's a high energy,crazy roller coaster ride and I liked the way in which they have ended that is they have kept it open ended.

What I also liked is the fight for survival that more or less every character plays and nobody is clean here. But even in this, Jayant Arkhedkar's conscience doesn't allow him to kill Monica, even after a bitter fight. At the heat of the moment, he's pulled back by his conscience - says a lot!

Performances by the lead actors are power packed - Huma Qureshi, Rajkumar Rao and Radhika Apte, in that order according to me. Huma Qureshi has brought in all the shades and nuances of Monica but also has succeeded in making her character look vulnerable in the entirely male dominated world!

Whatever antics Rajkumar Rao may have played there's still an element of earnestness/ honesty about him. That makes him endearing.

I have a negative point for Radhika Apte - she's Ms Naidu( so supposedly from AP/Telangana) but her accent ( especially in the last press conference) is keralite.

Apart from these 3 and Vijay Kenkre and Sikander Kher( who has acted quite well) there's not a single known actor to me. I don't know if that's done purposely. I personally think that if Gaurav's role would have gone to a known face, it would have added a different element to the film.

But overall a thoroughly enjoyable movie.
