Munjya review: Supernatural horror comedy blends various elements but can't deliver genuine scares. It features a CGI ghost in a Marathi folklore setting.
As someone who isn’t really a fan of the horror genre, I do like it better when they add comedy to the mix. The sub-genre can boast of entries such as Stree, followed by the decently humorous, Bhediya. The latest entrant in this horror comedy universe, Munjya, is definitely the weakest, not only in terms of the star power but mostly for its screenplay and direction which makes it an average watch with nothing spectacularly scary.

For a supernatural horror comedy, Munjya, directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, blends way too many elements that intrigue you in the beginning, but gradually, end up only as a series of comedic instances that struggle to scare you. It starts with a Marathi folklore in Maharashtra’s Konkan region with a CGI ghost-like figure that’s not scary at all. The entire screenplay is peppered with generous amount of humour that mostly lands but does the movie frighten you? No. Is it even intended to scare you? Doesn’t seem like it. It’s funny for most part, and where it’s not, the loud background music and jump scares do the trick.

The plot

The story begins in 1952, when a young Brahmin boy names Goya wished to marry Munni who is seven years elder to him. Since his family disapproves, he performs some rituals in the jungle but dies tragically in the process, and is buried under a tree. Cut to present day Pune, a geeky college student Bittu (Abhay Verma) works at a salon with his mother Pammi (Mona Singh), and enjoys sweet moments back home with his aaji (Suhas Joshi). He carries a flame for his childhood friend Bella (Sharvari), but is reluctant to express those feeling because she is with an English guy, Kuba. Bittu often gets nightmares and hears muffled voices from the peepal tree haunted by Munjya. Along with his mum and grandmum, he soon visits their family in the village where Bittu learns buried secrets about his father, and the family’s history with a deadly place called chetuk-baari where Munjya’s spirit dwells in peepal trees. Bittu’s life turns upside down when he is trapped by Munjya and the story unfolds in the most unexpected yet hilarious way.
