Munjya Review.
WION's Pragati Awasthi called Munjya, ''a entertaining horror comedy with less chills and more laughs.''
''Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, Munjya is an engaging tale with humour taking more space and horror in the backseat, making it a perfect watch for children this summer season. It's worth mentioning that this supernatural thriller comes at a time when Bollywood is not giving us films that are truly theatre-worthy and can be skipped for an OTT release. But thank god, the case is different with Maddock's recent release. While the movie might give you déjà vu of a studio's supernatural universe, it's still entertaining, fun, and eerie at the same time,'' read the full review here.
