Film: Munjya
U/A: Horror, Comedy
Dir: Aditya Sarpotdar
Cast: Sharvari, Abhay Verma, Mona Singh, Sathyaraj
Rating: 2.5/5

The joy of watching a horror film lies in the anticipation of the unseen, unknown or unnatural. Once the ghost is out of the shadows, what’s there to fear about? And once the fear is gone, what’s there to be excited about? The laughs? At least that’s what the makers of Munjya, Bollywood’s latest horror comedy, want one to believe. Director Aditya Sarpotdar and his team, however, are unable to match their intention with execution. 

Munjya, starring Abhay Verma, Sharvari and Mona Singh, is an unworthy addition to producer Dinesh Vijan’s popular horror comedy universe that already boasts of Rajkummar Rao-Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree (2018), Rao-Janhvi Kapoor-starrer Roohi (2021),  Varun Dhawan-starrer Bhediya (2022).
