Munjya Review: A Humorous Take on Horror That Keeps It Light on the Scares

Summary: Although it combines a lot of aspects, supernatural horror comedy falls short of showing true horrors. It has a CGI ghost in a scenario inspired by Marathi tradition.


Munjya, directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, is a nice surprise in the horror-comedy genre, skillfully blending humorous turns with supernatural aspects to produce an engaging cinematic experience. 

 

The film, which is set in 1950s India and contemporary Pune, skillfully tells a story of forbidden love, family secrets, and avenging ghosts that will captivate viewers from beginning to end.

 

Munjya is a horror comedy that combines Konkani mythology with pop culture excess, often unwittingly. It is messy and confusing, requiring a willing suspension of disbelief while failing to secure it.

 

The Maddock Films movie Munjya, is directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and written by Niren Bhatt based on a screenplay conceived by Yogesh Chandekar, is the fourth in the banner's slate of spooky films, following Stree, Roohi, and Bhediya. It pales in comparison to Stree and Bhediya, and it is probably only somewhat better than Roohi.

 

Munjya tells us that fear overcomes us because we run away from it. Someone tells Bittu (Abhay Verma), a young guy who works in his mother's beauty parlor and longs to be free of his apron ties, "Face it and resist it, and victory will be yours."

 

The Plot

 

The story begins in 1952, when Goya, a young Brahmin boy, wishes to marry Munni, who is seven years older than him. Because his family disapproves, he performs some rituals in the jungle but dies tragically and is buried beneath a tree. 

 

Cut to present-day Pune, where a nerdy college student, Bittu (Abhay Verma), works with his mother, Pammi (Mona Singh), at her salon and spends relaxing time at home with his Aaji. He has developed feelings for his childhood friend Bella (Sharvari) but hesitates to admit them.

 

Bittu frequently has nightmares and hears sounds from the peepal tree that's haunted by Munjya. Along with his mother and grandmother, he soon visits their family in the village, where Bittu learns buried truths about his father and the family's history, including an awful place called Chetuk-Baari, where Munjya's spirit lives in peepal trees. Bittu's life is turned upside down when he is captured by Munjya, and the plot develops in the most unexpected yet amusing way.
