A Quick Synopsis of Munjya

Munjya begins in 1952 with the tragic tale of a young Brahmin boy whose forbidden love for a girl named Munni leads to a disastrous ritual. Fast forward to modern-day Pune, the story centers on Bittu, a shy cosmetology student living with his mother and grandmother. As old family secrets emerge, Bittu learns that his grandmother is connected to the malevolent spirit Munjya. The plot unfolds as Bittu, with the help of an exorcist, confronts the spirit to save his love interest, Bella.

Thoughts on Munjya

To us, Munjya has an engaging storyline, remarkable VFX, and standout performances by the cast. While it may not be as terrifying as Tumbbad or as uproarious as Stree, it strikes a balance that keeps audiences entertained. The film’s blend of horror and comedy, coupled with emotional depth, makes it a significant addition to Maddock Films’ horror-comedy universe.
