Monica Movie Review
25 Mar 2011
What we know
Public Prosecutor Mathur names an accused, Sandeep Mishra, and three other suspects who had arranged the homicide of Lucknow-based journalist Monica. The trio are Aseem Ray – a wealthy publisher; Pamela Grewal – a businesswoman; and Chandrakant Pandit – the former Telecom Minister and soon-to-be Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. With odds stacked heavily against him, Mathur presents, what is an apparent circumstantial case before a female judge, and must prove beyond a reasonable shadow of doubt, that Sandeep was directly involved – even though direct evidence indicates that the murder was committed by two unknown males, and that the deceased victim lived a dual life.

The hotchpotch film is a disappointment. MONICA, no my darling!
Read the full reviewYou can tell, this is a B movie that was suddenly allowed better budgets later in its making. The picture is supposedly based on the mysterious murder of Indian Express journalist Shivani Bhatnagar in '99.
Monica is a dull show and will not be able to prove itself at the ticket windows. Resounding flop! Monica will bomb at the box-office.
Read the full reviewDon't be mislead by the title (no, it isn't a morning show film) and don't be foxed by the low key publicity. This one's truly a surprise. Check it out.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give one star's films 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
