Munjya

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.
