“30 mins into @Vasan_Bala's #MonicaOMyDarling and I haven't laughed this loudly during a film in some time. My neighbours must be thinking I'm losing my mind. Especially happy to see it's adapted from a Keigo Higashino novel, possibly the greatest crime writer of this century,” wrote one user.
Our darlings had a lot to say about Monica and her darlings at the premiere last night!

While another wrote, “#MonicaOMyDarling is funny AF and quite a thrill ride, but above all (like Radhika Apte) it knocks it outta park with its nods and winks. A film that nods to Psycho, Kusumagraj, Vijay Anand and Harmesh Malhotra, and does it in style? Sold!”

The story revolves around a slick robotics expert, who joins a murderous plot after a passionate affair takes a sudden turn.

“#MonicaOMyDarling is a delicious ode to the vintage & stylised #Bollywood crime thrillers made by directors like Vijay Anand. Assisted by a talented ensemble cast, a self aware pitch, zany humor & a fabulous soundtrack: this is the fun that's been missing in Hindi cinema!” wrote another user.
While another wrote, “#MonicaOMyDarling is a visual treat in every aspect. Brilliant performances & sharp screenplay is film's USP. @RajkummarRao prvoes yet again why he's the best. @humasqureshi is the soul of the film, what a performance. Nailed it completely, killer expressions. Do watch it now.”
