8/10
Well-Crafted Idiosyncratic Neo-Noir Mumbai Thriller.
13 November 2022
My Rating : 8/10

Sriram Raghavan. Quentin Tarantino. And now Vasan Bala. 'Monica O My Darling' takes inspiration from the Pulp-Fictions and Andhadhuns of the cinema world where non-linear storylines, dark humor, stylized violence and excessive profanity all make a delicious appearance - and let's not forget a super catchy background score to tie it all together brilliantly!

At crucial junctures, Bala allows divine intervention to kick in. At one point, Bala literally shows the mirror to Jayant in between a beautifully-crafted scene. The sprinkling of multiple dialects by different characters with peculiar surnames makes the storytelling all the more flavourful.

Monica... is not to be missed.
