Starring Rajkummar Rao as a robotic expert, the film opens with Jayant Arkhedkar aka Rao becoming a member of the Board of Directors of the company that he is working in. Naturally, he is a subject of jealousy by his peers and co-workers. Luck is the main cause for Jayant to have achieved such a stature in the company despite having a basic background.
Soon he is forced into a relationship with Akansha Ranjan Kapoor aka Nikki Adhikari who is the daughter of the head of the company. On the side, Jayant is cheating with his office secretary Monica played by none other than Huma Qureshi.
As life takes several twists and turns, Monica declares that she is pregnant and Jayant is the father-to-be of her child. She seeks a hefty alimony from him and he dreads his life going downhill if this matter comes to light. More characters are included (one being Netflix¡¯s favourite Radhika Apte) as the story progresses and it leads to more chaos.
Now, the story is pretty basic but it does work or so the internet wants you to believe.
Fans are flooding Twitter with their opinions on the same as critics have mixed reactions to Monica, O My Darling.

It's only about 3 seconds but Radhika Apte's cop character singing kaasu-panam-dabbu-money-money and doing a little jig to it is very delightful #MonicaOMyDarling

#MonicaOMyDarling is an absolute roller coaster with its noir cinematography, ace background score, catchy songs and tight editing.. should have been in cinemas. But might have been ignored in theaters. So good decision and really a treat to the eyes, this movie ? must watch.
