Munjya Twitter Review: Sharvari Wagh, Abhay Verma, and Mona Singh Horror-Comedy Leave A Remarkable Impression
Munjya, starring Sharvari Wagh, Abhay Verma, and Mona Singh, has finally hit the theatres. This horror-comedy tells the story of an alien-like creature named Munjya, who causes chaos in a couple's life.
Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, Munjya is the fourth film in the Maddock Supernatural Universe. Inspired by Indian folklore, the movie follows the legend of Munjya, a tale from Maharashtra’s Konkan region. According to the story, Munjya is a boy who becomes a demon after dying shortly after his thread ceremony. While the villagers avoid the grove where his spirit lingers, Munjya waits for a chance to fulfil his dream of marriage.
In the film, Bittu (Abhay Verma) is the easily scared protagonist from Munjya’s village. He finds himself in a one-sided relationship with his college friend Bela (Sharvari Wagh). Bittu, under Munjya's influence, teams up with his friend Diljit (Taran Singh) and the psychic Karim Elvis (S Sathyaraj) to control the spirit. He also receives advice from his beloved grandmother (Suhas Joshi).
Though the movie starts strong, some parts meander. Diljit, the hero’s Sardar best friend, adds comic relief but sometimes feels out of place. Despite this, the film has been well-received.
