MOVIE REVIEW: 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!

Munjya Movie Rating:
Direction 3/5
Acting 3/5
Cinematography 3.5/5
Story 3/5
Screenplay 2.5/5
Overall Hit ya Flop Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars (Good)
