Munjya

"Munjya" is a delightful blend of horror and comedy that manages to keep its audience both on the edge of their seats and in fits of laughter. The film starts with a quintessential haunted scenario: eerie noises, dark settings, and spine-chilling suspense. It almost perfectly sets up a classic horror movie atmosphere that grips the viewer with its intensity.

As the story progresses, however, "Munjya" deftly shifts gears. What begins as a spine-chilling narrative slowly unravels into more of a mediocre haunted comedy, especially after revealing the CGI of Munjya. The initial horror setup, which showed high potential, gradually gives way to comedic elements that dominate the latter half of the film.

While the transition from horror to comedy is seamless for some, it might disappoint viewers who were invested in the high-stakes terror of the first act. The film's shift in tone, especially marked by the less-than-impressive CGI of the titular Munjya, feels like a letdown. The creature that once seemed menacing becomes a source of slapstick humor, diluting the initial impact of the horror.

The performances are commendable, with the cast showcasing impressive versatility. Their reactions to the absurdity of their situation feel genuine, and the comedic moments are well-timed. However, the screenplay's pivot to humor may not sit well with everyone, particularly those who were expecting a more consistent horror narrative.

Technically, "Munjya" shines in its early stages with excellent cinematography and sound design that amplify the horror experience. The eerie visuals and creepy sound effects are executed with precision. However, as the film shifts to comedy, the visual gags and timing, while handled competently, might not be enough to satisfy the initial promise of a horror story.

In conclusion, "Munjya" is a unique cinematic experience that blends horror and comedy. It starts strong with a high-potential horror story but gradually turns into a comedy. This shift might delight some but could be disappointing for those who hoped for a sustained horror experience. It's a rollercoaster ride that begins with scares but ends with laughs, making it a mixed bag depending on your genre preference.

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.

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.

Munjya is a new installment in Stree horror universe and is a light horror comedy which gives you good blend of horror, comedy and drama.

The story was good and simple, the screenplay could have been little bit better as the editing was not crisp, the direction was average and the performances were decent as it was not upto the mark. The reveal of suspense in first half hour was a bad idea as the suspense elements dies so early into the movie. Also, the climax portion felt little bit stretched. Other than that, it had good comedy and horror elements enough to entertain you.

Overall, you should give this movie a try as even with some flaws it will not fail to entertain you.

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.
