Aditya Sarpotdar’s horror-comedy Munjya is bringing back the nostalgia of the old days—whether you recall them fondly or not. Instead of following the recent trend of premiering first on OTT platforms, it’s making its debut on network TV. Read on for all the release details.
Box office and Audience Reception
The film has earned 130 crore gross worldwide, with 108 crore from the Indian domestic market. On IMDb, it has a rating of 7.2 out of 10, with 50.4% of 15,000 voters—approximately 7,700 people—rating it a perfect 10. The Tomatometer is at 56%, reflecting mixed critical reviews, while the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is 73%. Koimoi reviewed it with 3.5 stars out of 5, offering a generally positive assessment. Overall, the audience reception has been largely favourable.
Munjya Plot
The story of Munjya draws from folklore in Maharashtra’s Konkan region. In the 1950s, a young Brahmin boy falls in love with a girl seven years older than him. When his family objects to their relationship, he performs rituals in the jungle but tragically dies, leaving his spirit to haunt the peepal trees there. In the present day, Abhay Verma, a college student with a crush on his childhood friend—who’s already in a committed relationship—unexpectedly becomes entangled with the titular character, Munjya.
