Vasan Bala spins his magic again and this time revitalizes the mystery/thriller genre
Vasan Bala’s Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota was my favorite Hindi film of 2018. It was a superhero film of sorts and yet felt so grounded and next-door that it enveloped my senses and took me on a whirlwind adventure with its quirky characters and engrossing storytelling. Monica O My Darling is in many ways a classic murder mystery and a whodunit thriller but it is so different and, in its structure, story, and presentation from a run-of-the-mill thriller that it makes for a captivating watch that feels fresh and intriguing throughout. Bala’s direction has a distinctive style and feel that compliments the story fantastically here. This becomes an added advantage for the film and the director and helps in making the film a lot more enjoyable and impactful.
