Munjya

The universe of Stree - Bhediya is expanding with this new movie on the block. Horror comedy is a tough genre, but if done right, it can be one of the most entertaining to watch, and this film tries its best to justify the genre.

The story follows a shy boy whose family harbors a dark secret involving the spirit Munjya, which gets revealed when he visits his native village. Now, he needs to save his loved ones from Munjya, as the spirit has tagged along with him.

The story is innovative and keeps you engaged. It takes all cinematic liberties, which is fine for such movies, but the lack of character development cannot be overlooked. The comedy in this universe has always been very organic to the narrative, but here it feels highly forced in many places.

Abhay Verma, in the leading role, is the heart and soul of the movie. His innocent charm and balanced expressions are sure to win your heart. He is a good find and is here to stay. Sharvari Wagh has hardly anything to perform, and even in her limited screen time, she goes overboard. Her character is highly underdeveloped. Also, the chemistry between the leads is zero. Mona Singh, as the loud mother, is decent. The fun and comedy brought by Sathyaraj are the best parts of the movie. Every scene featuring him is a laughing riot, proving his acting chops yet again. Suhas Joshi as the grandmother is endearing and does well.

The graphics and CGI work to create Munjya are amazing. The technical crew has done a commendable job with it. If the story had more depth, it could have worked wonders. The editing is shabby, to say the least, as the scenes jump from one to another haphazardly. The BGM has worked in its favor, maintaining the horror feel. The jump scares placed here and there are nice but do not genuinely scare, which is a letdown.

This universe has had amazing songs in other movies, but it was a big disappointment here. The post-credit scene connecting Bhediya didn't add anything to the story and felt too forced. Overall, it is an average movie with good potential. #pranureviews #Munjya #MunjyaReview.

Start and Middle of the movie is very good and character are very strong .

Cheers to VFX teams creating that hunted character and voice too.

VFX, Cinematography , locations and cast all good and impressive to watch .

Movie started with great start , indulging the audience. Connecting the characters and showcase of past and present .

As we progress we movie was good , all the dots where connecting and here comes the downfall, when u want the movie to end and see what happened next but ironically movie started dragging and making it hard to finish the movie and boring .

Movie is one time watch.

Munjya strives to be a horror-comedy but struggles to hit the mark. One of the biggest issues is the overdone sound design, with spiked volume every time the cartoonish Munjya appears. Instead of adding tension, these moments are more grating than scary.

The comedy, unfortunately, feels contrived. Neither Munjya nor the human characters manage to evoke real humor, leaving many scenes flat and uninspired. Despite the cast's best efforts, the jokes simply fail to land.

In terms of performances, Abhay and Saravari, along with the supporting actors, deliver commendable work. However, strong acting cannot compensate for a screenplay and dialogue that falter. While there are moments where the film holds your attention, it never quite manages to spark genuine laughter or fear.

Ultimately, Munjya is a forgettable experience. With its uninspired humor and flawed execution, there's little desire for a sequel. One film is more than enough.

Movie is very much entertaining and brings new content in Horror/Ghost version.

Keep in mind its a horror-comedy so it will lack in horror part for sure.

Highlighting part is acting-casting-locations-story telling

Casting suits perfectly coz some actors are regional which makes it much more relatable.

Further comedy is not forced and its natural. Not cringe jokes or movie reference jokes

Plus making this universe such a diversified urges you to want some more.

From east side of India in Bhediya to Munjya in Maharashtra ...Hats off ...

Hope to see the logical and entertaining connection with other movies of this universe.

I had a lot of expectations from this movie. I have heard a lot of good reviews from people. My friends and family. A lot of people have went to see munjya in theatres and they have always recommended me towards this movie. I finally got a chance to watch this movie on Disney Hotstar, and to be honest, it was plain, light comedy lighthearted horror story, which you can watch with your family and kill time. Even your kids will love it. I have a 10 year old who was more excited and enjoyed the movie than I did. I think this movie is Cold could have been better compared to the other Maddock films. Bhediya was one of the best movie. I have seen from them after Stree, maybe I was expecting a lot from this movie from the start. Genre of movie is so confusing meaning Should you laugh or should you wait for the horror part? I was confused what we should be seeing, but it wasn't that bad, good story line from a folk tale, and a glimpse from movie Tumbaad is what I felt, but in light, Comedy way.
