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.
