New Delhi: The trailer of Rajkummar Rao, Huma Qureshi, and Radhika Apte starrer 'Monica, O My Darling' was unveiled on Monday. The film will be released on Netflix. The dark comedy is directed by Vasan Bala.
The trailer, marked with the eponymous iconic track of R.D. Burman, presents a perfectly sketched whodunnit thriller and follows the events around a murder and the disposing off of a body.
The trailer, which has oodles of humour, has been smartly cut as it doesn't reveal anything and keeps the viewers guessing till the end and lingers on the mind long after it gets over.
It shows the enigmatic character of Huma Qureshi calling the shots as a murder mystery unfolds with the needle of doubt pointed at every single character involved in the story. A dead body and three men who set out to dispose it off, trigger the mystery and the drama that ensues. Radhika Apte enters the scene as a police officer for the case.
The film, also stars Sikandar Kher, Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, 'Super Deluxe' star Bagavathi Perumal, who makes his Hindi debut with the film, and Sukant Goel. The film also brings back Radhika Apte to Netflix.
The film has been monitored by the icon of the thriller genre, Sriram Raghavan, who directed the 2018 runaway success 'Andhadhun'.
The film, produced by Sarita Patil, Sanjay Routray, Dikssha Jyote Routray and Vishal Bajaj under the banner of Matchbox Shots, is dropping exclusively on Netflix on November 11, 2022.
This is Vasan Bala’s third directorial after the unreleased Peddlers and the 2018 action-comedy 'Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota'.
