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!

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.

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.

I had a lot of expectations from this movie. I have heard a lot of good reviews from people. My friends and family. A lot of people have went to see munjya in theatres and they have always recommended me towards this movie. I finally got a chance to watch this movie on Disney Hotstar, and to be honest, it was plain, light comedy lighthearted horror story, which you can watch with your family and kill time. Even your kids will love it. I have a 10 year old who was more excited and enjoyed the movie than I did. I think this movie is Cold could have been better compared to the other Maddock films. Bhediya was one of the best movie. I have seen from them after Stree, maybe I was expecting a lot from this movie from the start. Genre of movie is so confusing meaning Should you laugh or should you wait for the horror part? I was confused what we should be seeing, but it wasn't that bad, good story line from a folk tale, and a glimpse from movie Tumbaad is what I felt, but in light, Comedy way.

It's 6 on 10 , some scenes were illogical but I saw the movie just because of the post credit scene and just to follow the stree universe only.

But the acting of these not nepo kids are just awesome 💯 There is more comedy than horror , not even a single second, I was got scared but comedy was 9 on 10 But ofcourse it's good that in only 30 crores budget it earned more than 100 crore before kalki movie release

Post credit scene was good enough that 2 minutes removed all the demerits of this movie " munjya "

Rather this , watch rockstar instead. Or Chandu champion In stree universe Stree was 9 on 10 Bhediya was 7 on 10 And munjya is 6 on 10

I hope stree 2 movie reach our expectations.

What can I say, this is the worst movie I have seen in more than a decade.

It's beyond cringe, it hits a level where you end up super frustrated with yourself and keep asking "why did I wast 90mins of my life on this".

It is not scary. It is not funny.

If "Munjya" was meant to be a horror-comedy, it succeeded at one thing: horrifying me with how unfunny it is.

The jokes are so flat they make cardboard look dynamic, and the scares are as effective as a rubber spider at a Halloween party.

The acting? Let's just say I've seen more emotion in a loaf of bread.

If you're looking for a reason to cringe for 90 minutes, this movie's got you covered. Otherwise, consider this your final warning-watch at your own risk (of extreme boredom).

Movie is very much entertaining and brings new content in Horror/Ghost version.

Keep in mind its a horror-comedy so it will lack in horror part for sure.

Highlighting part is acting-casting-locations-story telling

Casting suits perfectly coz some actors are regional which makes it much more relatable.

Further comedy is not forced and its natural. Not cringe jokes or movie reference jokes

Plus making this universe such a diversified urges you to want some more.

From east side of India in Bhediya to Munjya in Maharashtra ...Hats off ...

Hope to see the logical and entertaining connection with other movies of this universe.

Tone, Script & Story: The story is about a ghost munjya who is trapped in a tree. The ghost frees when main character visits and it gets hold of him. Now they set on a journey to marry ghost his love or will they able to destroy ghost without consequences.

When I first watched trailer I expected comedy and no lives lost but when you watch movie this jumbles a little. Apart from that its commendable effort. The movie reminded me of movie Roohi which I feel is better made counterpart.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: It was good, the ghost, daadi sequences, the adjoining scenarios are really filmed well. One more movie Chota Bheem has been released, is a letdown in this area.

Music: Music is above average. Many people can be find it humming out. Acting: Sometimes the supernatural sequences involving humans seem overdone or dim but budget wise seem okay.

Final Verdict: The movie is eye pleasing and good with songs and scenes. It's a commendable effort to be a full paisa wasool package. Do watch it u won't be disappointed.

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.

Its complete entertainer and amazing performance of all the characters in the movie.

Credit goes to director to keep the grip and maintain the pace of movie in first and second half.

Good thing is you can watch this movie with your friends and family as no vulgarity in the movie.

Locations and background seems real and complement the story line. I would recommend to one time wach this movie.

In terms of animations are average but enough for low budget movie. I think appearance of munjya can be delayed to create more suspense. Marathi accent was perfect and sthyaraj was surprising element. Overall it's a complet entertainer.

"Munjya" is a delightful blend of horror and comedy that manages to keep its audience both on the edge of their seats and in fits of laughter. The film starts with a quintessential haunted scenario: eerie noises, dark settings, and spine-chilling suspense. It almost perfectly sets up a classic horror movie atmosphere that grips the viewer with its intensity.

As the story progresses, however, "Munjya" deftly shifts gears. What begins as a spine-chilling narrative slowly unravels into more of a mediocre haunted comedy, especially after revealing the CGI of Munjya. The initial horror setup, which showed high potential, gradually gives way to comedic elements that dominate the latter half of the film.

While the transition from horror to comedy is seamless for some, it might disappoint viewers who were invested in the high-stakes terror of the first act. The film's shift in tone, especially marked by the less-than-impressive CGI of the titular Munjya, feels like a letdown. The creature that once seemed menacing becomes a source of slapstick humor, diluting the initial impact of the horror.

The performances are commendable, with the cast showcasing impressive versatility. Their reactions to the absurdity of their situation feel genuine, and the comedic moments are well-timed. However, the screenplay's pivot to humor may not sit well with everyone, particularly those who were expecting a more consistent horror narrative.

Technically, "Munjya" shines in its early stages with excellent cinematography and sound design that amplify the horror experience. The eerie visuals and creepy sound effects are executed with precision. However, as the film shifts to comedy, the visual gags and timing, while handled competently, might not be enough to satisfy the initial promise of a horror story.

In conclusion, "Munjya" is a unique cinematic experience that blends horror and comedy. It starts strong with a high-potential horror story but gradually turns into a comedy. This shift might delight some but could be disappointing for those who hoped for a sustained horror experience. It's a rollercoaster ride that begins with scares but ends with laughs, making it a mixed bag depending on your genre preference.

It is worst movie I ever seen in my life. There is no story in the movie. All I can see is just a CGI demon screaming. I was expecting this should a suspense thriller movie but it's not. My friend get me to cinema to watch this movie even I don't wanted to come to watch after watching trailer but after finding rating on Google I thought it should be good movie. This is best of worse movie I have ever seen. Totally waste of time and money. Movie was not funny neither scary. Expecting something good in ending but I was wrong ending was more worst. All I can says that this movie is pathetic and boring.

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.

Story : The story of the movie was good. It was pretty good. Was entertaining. There was no #boring scene. There is no special scene.

Director's direction is good.

The performance of #AbhayVerma, the hero of the movie is very good. Didn't over act anywhere.

The performance of the movie heroine #Sharvari is very good. There was no over acting anywhere.

Music : Needless to say.

Background score : bad Perfect length movie Negative point : Could have been a little more entertaining.

People of all age groups from kids to old people will enjoy watching this movie. There is no boring scene in the horror comedy movie.

Munjya offers a charmingly wholesome cinematic experience. While not laugh-out-loud funny or bone-chillingly scary, it strikes a satisfying balance between humor, horror, and heartwarming moments.

Director Aditya Sarpotdar deserves kudos for the unique concept of the "Munjya" entity. The animation brings this vengeful spirit to life with creepy-cute effectiveness. Abhay Verma, as the film's lead Bittu, delivers a fantastic performance. His honest portrayal makes Bittu a relatable and sympathetic character as he navigates his predicament. Sharvari Wagh holds her own as the female lead, providing a strong counterpart to Verma.

The supporting cast shines as well. Veteran actors Mona Singh, Sathyaraj, Suhas Joshi and Ajay Purkar all contribute memorable performances, adding depth and humor to the narrative. Their collective effort keeps the script engaging and the plot moving smoothly.

Sum up - Munjya is a feel-good film perfect for a relaxed viewing experience. It offers a unique blend of genres without going overboard. The animation is a highlight, the cast is commendable, and the overall tone is lighthearted and enjoyable.

India is not ready for such master piece... I am laughing so hard for last 1 week and am afraid at the same time.

I request makers that they have a very good film...never make it again..

I think talent to make such master piece is a god gift...pls return it to the god.

Bakwas...pathetic...I felt pity on myself for wasting my time.

Pls dont go to the reviews that have given good ratings and written mostly same review with different choise of words...as i feel they are mostly from the PR team.... I cant describe how angry i am on myself for watching this movie. I never post reviews...but couldnt help this time.

Honestly, Stree was one of the finest from Bollywood in horror comedy genre. Munjya lives up to the expectations too. Following a similar theme like stree, maddok films once again delivered for stree universe fans, they will definitely love it. Munjya is definitely 80% as good as stree with a little known starcast in lead roles.

Songs :: Highlight is again Sachin Jigar Music after Bhediya. 'Tenu Khabar Nahi' is one of the finest , even film contains many version of these soulful song , even a non-arijit sad version along with the original score.

Presentation :: Acting wise Mona Singh, Sharvari Wagh and our own Katappa(Sathyaraj) was excellent. Rest of the cast is okayishhh with little scope for their art . Munjya(CGI) himself is sometime a little irritating and it may be because of poor supporting acting skill by protagonist Mr. Abhay Verma, needs real improvement to sustain in bollywood . Mona Singh's Madar-nandan dialogue was on point , and rest of the dialogues too ! Sharvari is quite lovely and acting is much much improved considering her last few movies or series. Sathyaraj plays his part nicely too, Ha-la-lu-la !!

Overall , out an out a fun family horror movie without any adult language or scenes. My rating is 10 on 10 considering casts , CGI, presentation, story and songs ; 7 out of 10 comparing Stree.

Definitely, do have a watch !!

In my 60 years of life with watching movies this is worst movie I have ever seen. Pls don't see this movie, all the ratings given to this movie with positive views r fake. No Acting, No music, No direction , No editing . Only money and time waste.

I request all viewers don't watch this movie sepcially with ur girl/boy friends. Dont Watch Don't Watch I folded hands to all DON'T Watch

Munjha is a film that will leave you speechless and yearning for more. This beautifully crafted cinematic masterpiece tells a poignant story of love, loss, and self-discovery, set against the stunning backdrop of rural India. From the opening scene, it's clear that Munjha is something special - a film that will touch your heart and soul.

The cast delivers performances that are raw, honest, and heart-wrenching, bringing depth and nuance to their characters. The lead actors shine brightly, bringing a level of vulnerability and emotion to their roles that's rare to see on screen. The supporting cast is equally impressive, adding layers to the narrative and making the world of Munjha feel fully realized.

The cinematography is breathtaking, capturing the rustic charm of the countryside and the intensity of the human emotions. Each frame is a work of art, with a level of detail and care that's evident in every shot. The film's use of natural light and color palette adds to its visual beauty, making Munjha a feast for the eyes.

The film tackles complex issues with sensitivity and nuance, never shying away from the harsh realities of life. And yet, it's also a film of great hope and beauty, finding light in the darkest of places.

One of the standout aspects of Munjha is its pacing. The film takes its time to unfold, never rushing the narrative or sacrificing character development for the sake of plot. The result is a film that feels fully realized, with each scene building on the last to create a rich tapestry of storytelling.

Overall, Munjha is a masterpiece that will touch your heart and soul. With its exceptional performances, stunning visuals, and powerful storytelling, it's a must-watch for anyone who loves great cinema. Don't miss this hidden gem - seek it out and experience it for yourself.

So watching this stree universe third movie munjya horrer comedy and one side loved stroy it's entertaining movie overall good comedy casting chi and VFX and horrer less means horror elements is less but feels like it's grate I loves this kind of movie where story is new priority so they done well in terms of budget and everything and it's stree universe so this movie will make part in future movies and Cameo so feel it's movie you should watch onecs the special is about this movie it's two hours so it will worth you time go and I watch this on tv where you can watch this movie will entertain you.

Sheer wastage of money & time both. It wasnt even funny nor horror. The story so so chaotic for no reason it could have been a good movie if the makers were serious. Sadly the plot is too weak and dumb. After 30 mins into movie you start questioning whats even ggoing on in the film. The ending is also very dumb and lame ! Very dissapointed because this movie is doing better than Tumbbad and this explains alot why good movies dnt do well in india and our makers want only bad movies. Another sad part is thus movie is being preffered over chandu champion in cinemas which is alltogether a well put hardwork of such a good team of actors , cinematographers and director !

Based on a Maharashtrian folklore, this is the 4th film in the Maddock Supernatural Universe, still makes waves as it almost broke into the top 5 highest grossing Hindi films of the year so far. Everyone's been calling it a sleeper hit; with Stree 2 being a massive hit and this being a part of the 'MSU', I'd been eager to watch this one for a while.

• Abhay Verma, Sharvari and the supporting cast were great in the film. I don't know who decided to bring Satyaraj in, but interesting choice.

• The film is a horror comedy and could have easily ended up being a Stree (2) (which might end up being criticism held against the film- that wasn't as funny as Stree) but I'm glad it wasn't. The audience would have said "It's just like Stree but with a different ghost, what's the point....!?"; damned if you do, damned if you don't. But I am in the 'Glad it wasn't like Stree' camp.

• Glad Bittu's character was portrayed the way it was (anything more would spoil it) vs what I expected. Spielberg tries to do what the Stree trio does and while he obviously isn't and can't be the trio, he does well enough to add to the comedy.

• Shoutout to the VFX team - you could tell it was graphics but it was done well!

• Couldn't help but appreciate how some cultural practices in the Konkan region are very similar to other parts of the country.

The film isn't anything mindblowing, you're likely going to find Stree (2) to be more entertaining and provide more value for your time/money but this isn't a bad movie at all. Curious to see how they bring the MSU together but now that Akshay Kumar is in it, I have a bad feeling about it.

~ ' Munjya ' directed by Aditya Sarpotdar starring Abhay Verma and Sharvari is an entertaining horror comedy film. Even though a horror comedy , the film focuses more on comedy than horror. I personally like that but it won't go well with many. The horror elements were very predictable. The VFX of Munjya character was bad aswell , it should have been better. Other than that the film has a lot of positives like performances from the cast , Abhay Verma was a standout , great performance. Sharvari also done a good job , Mona Singh , Taran Singh , Satyaraj and Suhas Joshi (Grandmother) has also done a great job. The film has good music and for me personally the film was engaging , I really got involved in their journey and I also liked the Grandmother and Bittu relationship, it was nice. Overall , it's a pretty decent film which can make you laugh and it is an enjoyable one.
