Monica O My Darling, these words remind us of one of the most iconic songs of the Indian film industry. This particular song is not only known for its melody but also for its impressive music and lyrics. It was in the earlier years when this song was on everybody’s mind. At this time we are not here to discuss about the song or the music but we have come up with another Netflix movie starring Huma Qureshi and Rajkumar Rao along with Radhika Apte, titled Monica O My Darling.
This Indian Hindi film is a murder mystery but at the same place, it holds some humor and dark comedy. The concept of the movie is solely based on a modern mystery but Vasan Bala’s direction is impressive. Unpredictable twists and turns, an amazing cast, impressive performances, retro background music, and dark humor made the movie captivating. Despite possessing a genre of crime, the story didn’t go much intense. The film begins with a murder and ends on an unexpected note. All the actors did complete justice to their respective roles.
On the other hand, Monica O My Darling is an adapted movie. This adaptation has been done from a Japanese novel.
There is no second thought in saying that Netflix rarely disappoints its audience. In recent years this streaming giant has provided a great platform for a huge number of movies and series. This time also this Netflix original film Monica O My Darling is worth watching, at least for once.
