Munjya

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.

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.

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.

Start and Middle of the movie is very good and character are very strong .

Cheers to VFX teams creating that hunted character and voice too.

VFX, Cinematography , locations and cast all good and impressive to watch .

Movie started with great start , indulging the audience. Connecting the characters and showcase of past and present .

As we progress we movie was good , all the dots where connecting and here comes the downfall, when u want the movie to end and see what happened next but ironically movie started dragging and making it hard to finish the movie and boring .

Movie is one time watch.

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.
