Featured reviews
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.
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.
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 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.
