Nathan J. @TribianiRamoray Mar 16, 2026 Rating: 6.1/10 ⭐️ I expected practical effects, but the shift to a fully CGI villain gave it a chaotic vibe. What Worked: Dedicating half the $3.6M budget to DNEG for a CGI monster paid off with an unsettling presence. Shooting on location gives the folklore a super grounded texture. Weaving actual regional lore into the origin story adds cultural depth over cheap jump scares. The Cuts: Bouncing the spirit between a goat, the love interest, and the uncle meant the middle part really dragged for me. Through my faith and flag lens, the human sacrifice and demonic possession pushed way too far into the dark occult. The ambiguous ending just forced in universe cameos, leaving me without a satisfying victory. Verdict: Expands the universe but gets bogged down by repetitive plots and super dark occult themes. Favorite Line: “You can bury the past, but the roots remain.” See more Shveta B @RT71096902 Apr 17, 2025 Great storyline , great acting by Bittu. Loved it! See more Sadaf T @RT36833686 Feb 1, 2025 The movie is excellent. I did not watch it in the theater, which I will regret. Great acting by actors. Amazing storytelling. I don't know why it is a low rating for the rotten tomatoes. It is such an entertaining movie to watch with family. I loved it. See more Nikhil K @retired_cinephile Oct 18, 2024 "Munjya," a film rooted in Maharashtrian culture, offers an accessible experience for non-Maharashtrian viewers but falls short in several areas: Pacing: Starts strong but quickly loses steam. Narrative: Disjointed scenes lack coherence. Comedy: Attempts at humor miss the mark. Scares: Relies heavily on jump scares. Script: Weak writing undermines the overall experience. Lead Actress: Underutilized until the final dance number. VFX: Bad While "Munjya" provides some cultural insights, its structural weaknesses and mediocre execution make it a one-time watch at best. The film's attempt to balance regional flavor with broad appeal is noteworthy, but it's not enough to overcome its shortcomings in script and character development. See more Jithin K @Jithin Sep 4, 2024 There were a few things in the movie that made it feel fresh for a Bollywood movie in the sense, that it didn't go for the cliches of Bollywood and tried to be true to the story a little bit. But that's really such a low bar. The horror comedy of the last half an hour also worked for me. But for the rest of the movie, it kinda felt like a chore to sit through. The titular Munjya wasn't horrific or comedic but just annoying. Considering the actual folklore considering them as nuisances that just throw stones and things like that, it may be a bit intentional but it didn't really work for me. The main cast, that is the guy and girl, and his mom being good on eyes really helped me complete the movie. I don't know why this movie is included in the Maddock horror comedy universe. The post-credit scene doesn't really make much sense in connecting the films and they showed the same scene in Stree 2 too. But I'm still looking forward to what they do with this movie universe.
