Huma Qureshi plays the titular character Monica Macchado, the oomphy secretary who serves the robotics company with a great deal of zeal, and spreads her favours amongst so many senior male employees that you lose track. Akansha Ranjan as the rich girl who feels she owns her man leaves a mark, as does Zayn Marie Khan, even if her character is a trifle vague around the edges. It’s not like this interesting ensemble cast isn’t working hard to keep a hold on you: Rajkummar Rao is reliably solid, Sikandar Kher livens things up, Sukant Goel as a resentful colleague feeling done in by his co-workers is appropriately shifty. But that ‘dheel’ does occur in bits, especially when a pudgy accountant with a glad eye (Bagavathi Perumal) overstays his welcome on screen, and your attention starts to wander. This is even underlined in the film, when one character says to another, ‘dheel nahin dene ka, tight rakhne ka’, or words to that effect. If your USP is being whacked-out, then you have to make sure that nothing slackens.
