Remember Johnny Gaddar which came in 2008 that was helmed by master director Sriram Raghavan and had unpredictable twist and turns. Monica O My Darling belongs to the same genre, though slightly elongated.

Jayant is a hard working robotic engineer who climbed up in his career, eventually becoming the member of board of director in his company. Unfortunately, all the good times, luxurious lifestyle and peacefulness comes to an end after he gets involved in a passionate affair with his office colleague, Monica, who blackmails him threatening to expose him in front of his boss and fiance.

Directed by Vasan Bala (Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota), who thanks Sriram Raghavan in the opening credits, MOMD is one hell of a ride that keeps you engaged with twist and turns as well entertained, thanks to hilarious dialogues, comic scenes and funny one liners. A tribute to the retro era, MOMD boast of sharp camera work, excellent art direction and good editing. The flaw is the ending along with too many murders happening at the same time. Also, after Scam 1992, I was expecting rocking bgm from Achint but it was just about okay.

Performances are praise-worthy and so is the well written story that definitely elevates the film.

So, overall, MOMD has enough steam to make it a good murder mystery. Do check it out.
