After the success of Tumbaad (2018) and Kantara (2022), filmmakers
After the success of Tumbaad (2018) and Kantara (2022), filmmakers are increasingly turning to Indian folklore as inspiration points. Director Aditya Sarpotdar’s Munjya, written by Yogesh Chandekar and Niren Bhatt, is another step in that direction.
The latest horror-comedy from the makers of Stree (2018) and Bhediya (2022) is supposedly based on a folk tale from Maharashtra’s Konkan region, about a boy who dies soon after his thread ceremony and becomes a demon. His spirit, bound to the grove where he died, seeks to find peace by fulfilling his unfulfilled desire: marriage. He possesses the easily frightened Bittu (Abhay Verma) to execute his nefarious plans. Bittu, a timid and superstitious young man, returns to his ancestral village for a family function. He is in one-sided love with Bela (Sharvari Wagh), his college senior, who is in a relationship with a firang and has friendzoned him. His cousin Diljit (Taran Singh) and the psychic Elvis Karim Prabhakar (Sathyaraj) help him exorcise the demon. His spirited grandmother (Suhas Joshi) also offers him support and advice in his fight against the supernatural entity.
A small child named Gotya, who is seven years older than Munni, is determined to marry her in 1952 in the Chiplun village of Konkan. Gotya is compelled to become a pandit by his mother. But when Gotya uses black magic to obtain Munni, his fascination with her takes a sinister turn. Sadly, everything goes wrong, he passes away, and he becomes “Munjya.” Bittu, a member of Gotya’s family, must cope with the nightmare years later. His yearning to be with Munni has returned along with Munjya.
Following the success of Stree, the makers treated moviegoers with the release of the horror-comedy Munjya last month. This film marks the fourth installment in Maddock Films’ horror-comedy universe after Stree, Roohi, and Bhediya, hitting theaters on June 7 amidst moderate anticipation. However, it has pleasantly surprised everyone with its strong performance at the box office.

Divita Rai: Fashion can no longer afford to be tone-deaf. Social responsibility is not a checklist; it is a mindset. For us, that means working with Indian artisans, producing in small batches, and creating pieces that can live in wardrobes for decades. Cultural authenticity also means knowing where your inspiration comes from and acknowledging it with respect. Fashion, at its best, can be both beautiful and meaningful.
