Munjya

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.

Very sub-standard movie, nor funny or horror. Got bored during all of my watch time. Not recommended to watch. I dont know what director thought while making this movie, it is ispired by marathi characters but I never heard of any such. Thank god I watched it on my computer, Unless I am gonna curse the director more. New actors need to improve more, love story between the leading actors was not necessary. I think movie maker tried to make a movie like a Tumbad but completely failed in it. Tumbad is a masterpiece, one cant compair Munjya with it. I was not expecting such sub-standard movie from any marathi director, one need to learn from south film industry.

Munjya, the latest entrant in the horror-comedy universe, offers a blend of spooky thrills and light-hearted moments, though it falls short of the standards set by "Stree" and "Bhediya." But, it still manages to be a marginally better watch than "Roohi." Munjya is not the perfect horror comedy, but it brings something new to the table. A blend of horror and comedy is well supported by some effective CGI work that brings the ghostly elements to life.

Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, who is known for his impressive work in Marathi cinema, "Munjya" stands out with its unique script and engaging narrative. The film's story, while intriguing, is somewhat let down by its uneven execution. The first half has a few loose ends that might leave audiences scratching their heads, but the second half picks up the pace, delivering a captivating experience. Saurabh Goswami's cinematography successfully creates a spooky atmosphere that complements the film's tone. The background music score and VFX are other highlights.

The cast of Munjya delivers commendable performances, despite the film's weaker star power compared to its genre counterparts. Abhay Verma shines as Bittu, convincingly portraying the character's fear. Sharvari impresses with her acting too. Sathyaraj, as the quirky godman, delivers an amusing performance, and Taranjot Singh provides many laughs as well. Mona Singh, though given limited screen time, is effortlessly impactful in her scenes. One of the film's highlights is its end-credit scene, following the Taras song. Do not miss it!

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.

It's a great time killer movie. You can watch it 2-3 times without getting bored. Some scenes made me remember movies such as Tumbbad and Kantara. It's based on Tantra Vidhya. There are surprises at the end. They are developing something very big and my expectations for the future has raised. I request the makers to please work on the story and writing. I want to be engaged each and every second I watch the next big thing you are going to create with all of this. Audience already have 3 movies on the same franchise. I am excited for the future. This is just getting more interesting. Also, don't believe the negative reviewers. They will just rate anything negative. I loved this movie. 7 out of 10.
