Monica, O My Darling

During a night shift at the Unicorn factory, Dev Prakash informs his friend Gaurav More that he has proposed marriage to Shalu, and that she has accepted. Soon after, the company’s robot malfunctions and kills Dev, and the case is dismissed as an accident while safety officer Faridi Baig is fired from the company.

Six months later, during Unicorn’s 50th anniversary celebrations, Jayant Arkhedkar is promoted to the board and becomes engaged to Nikki Adhikari. The festivities take a darker turn when he is shown to be having an affair with Monica Machado. Monica reveals to Jayant that she is pregnant and tries to blackmail him. Soon after, Jayant receives a letter with photos of him and Monica, inviting him to meet at a hotel.

At the hotel, he encounters Arvind Manivannan (the CFO) and Nishikant Adhikari, Satyanarayan Adhikari’s son and Unicorn’s managing director, who also claim to have been blackmailed by Monica. The three hatch a plan to murder Monica, with Nishikant killing her, Jayant transporting the body, and Arvind disposing of it. To secure themselves, Nishikant has them sign a contract as a failsafe in case anyone wavers. The plan nearly derails when Arvind and Jayant cross paths with a leopard while trying to dump the body, forcing a quick escape.

The next day, Monica appears to be alive. Wildlife photographers report a body dumped in the wilderness, which is identified as Nishikant. ACP Vyjayanti Naidu begins investigating the murder at Unicorn, while Arvind and Jayant grow wary and suspect Monica. Arvind then receives a venomous snake in the mail, which kills him, and Jayant later gets a similar parcel along with a text showing the contract. Following the instructions, Jayant goes to the roof to retrieve the contract but is suddenly shoved from behind by Gaurav, the friend of Jayant’s sister Shalu. He survives, retrieves the contract, and discovers it’s only a photocopy. Believing Monica is behind the deaths, Jayant confronts her, but his conscience stops him from acting.

Monica, however, claims she did not kill Nishikant or Arvind, nor did she try to murder Jayant, and she seems to have deduced the killer’s identity. Before she can reveal more, she dies from venom in her wine—tinted with the same poison used in the earlier killings. Later, Jayant learns that the internal Unicorn probe had blamed Dev’s death on faulty robot technology, but Satyanarayan had covered it up and fired Faridi. When Jayant and Shalu confront the truth, Faridi confirms that Dev was murdered via a manual override of the robot.

Armed with this new knowledge, Jayant and Shalu head back to the Unicorn factory to check the robot’s login logs, and Jayant discovers that Gaurav killed Dev because he was in love with Shalu. Gaurav attacks with the same robot, confessing to Nishikant and Arvind’s murders but not Monica’s. Nishikant had tried to weaponize Gaurav as his enforcer, and when Nishikant pressed him to kill Monica or expose him to Shalu, Gaurav snapped and eliminated Nishikant. The pair’s escalating purge continues as Jayant fights for his life, ultimately taking control of the robot with his watch and killing Gaurav in self-defense. He tells Shalu and the police that Gaurav was behind the deaths of Dev, Nishikant, Arvind, and Monica. Yet, ACP Naidu hints that Monica’s killer was someone else. In a televised reveal, Naidu states that Monica’s killer was Tamang Rana—the father of her unborn child—and that Tamang killed himself out of guilt after poisoning Monica’s wine.

In the final moments, Jayant retrieves the original contract from Gaurav’s house and burns it, only to be encircled by the snakes Gaurav had stolen. The screen cuts to black, leaving his fate unresolved and the mystery surrounding the intertwined murders hanging in the air.
