Munjya

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.

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.

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!
