About Munjya

Munjya is an engaging, entertaining movie filled with more humour and less horror.

It is set in a remote village Chiplun in Konkan area, where people live in&nbsp;fear&nbsp;of a creature named Munjya, whose last desire to marry his lover Munni remains unfulfilled to date.

Parallely, we are introduced to&nbsp;Bittu, a vulnerable young lad, who is living in Pune with his mother and grandmother.

Bittu has connections with Chiplun village, and is continually experiencing eerie flashbacks. Amidst this, he visits his ancestral village and ends up freeing Munjya from the tree where he's been imprisoned for decades.

Written by Niren Bhatt and Yogesh Chandekar, the movie's story is inspired from a piece of Marathi folklore featuring an interesting CGI-created ghoul Munjya.&nbsp;

Apart from Abhay Verma, the movie stars Taranjot Singh as Bittu's cousin Spielberg. Mona Singh, Sharvari and Veteran actress Suhas Joshi play a pivotal part in the movie.&nbsp;

Munjya Review.&nbsp;

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.

Munjya box office: Abhay Verma's horror-comedy earns well, mints ₹36 crore

In response to the box office clash of 'Raksha Bandhan' with Aamir Khan's 'Laal Singh Chadda,' actor Akshay Kumar stated that he hopes both films do well. The ‘Samrat Prithviraj’ actor, while addressing the media at the ‘Raksha Bandhans’ trailer launch, said that movies releasing on the same day are no longer seen as a competition or a threat to the film’s business. The trailer for ‘Raksha Bandhan’ was unveiled on June 21, Tuesday, and received positive reactions from the audience. The film is slated for release on August 11 this year, which is the same release date as Aamir Khan’s most-awaited movie, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’.&nbsp;

Speaking about the same release date of the two films, Akshay Kumar said he does not see it as a "clash" at all. "It is not a clash, it is about two good movies coming together and also it's a festive weekend. Also, because of COVID-19, many movies did not get released. There are so many movies that are still waiting to be released in theatres," Akshay said.&nbsp;

Hollywood flicks `Mortal Kombat` and `Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba` are currently locked in a fierce battle for dominance at the box office, with the latter holding a slight edge over the other. 
 
According to Variety, `Demon Slayer` is on top at this point as it earned USD 9.5 million from 1,598 locations on Friday. The Funimation and Aniplex of America release is based on an anime series and entered the U.S. after enjoying huge financial success in other markets, having already grossed more than USD 400 million in Japan and shattering records. 
 
`Mortal Kombat`, the blood-soaked adaptation of the popular video game has grossed a sizable (for a pandemic) USD 9 million on Friday and is headed towards an opening weekend of USD 18 million to USD 19 million. 
 
This is an impressive sum given the public health crisis and is also notable because `Mortal Kombat` carries an R rating, somewhat limiting its potential audience. The film is screening in 3,073 venues, a far wider footprint than the one enjoyed by `Demon Slayer`.The Warner Bros. release has debuted simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max. It`s part of the studio`s gambit to shake up the way it`s distributing its films in the COVID era. 
 
All of Warner Bros.` 2021 slate will debut on the streaming service at the same time the films premiere in theatres. The strategy is designed to bolster HBO Max at a time when it is trying to make a name for itself in the crowded streaming space.`Godzilla vs. Kong`, a Warner Bros. and Legendary release, came in third with just over USD 1.1 million. 
 
The monster mashup earned $83.5 million over its first four weeks. Theatres have begun slowly reopening as vaccination rates rise, but major markets such as New York City and Los Angeles are still operating at reduced capacity.`Mortal Kombat` cost USD 55 million to produce. 
 
It is directed by Simon McQuoid, who made his feature debut with this movie that stars Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Tadanobu Asano, Mehcad Brooks, Ludi Lin, Chin Han, Joe Taslim and Hiroyuki Sanada. 
 
The game, which first appeared in 1992 and was controversial for its violence, inspired two previous films, one that opened in 1995 and a follow-up, `Mortal Kombat: Annihilation`, which hit theaters in 1997. 
 
As per Variety, among other wide releases, Disney`s `Raya and the Last Dragon` earned USD 400,000 on Friday, pushing its domestic total to USD 38.6 million after 8 weeks. The movie is also available for rent via Disney Plus.&nbsp;

'Demon Slayer', 'Mortal Kombat' are locked in box office dominance battle

"Godzilla vs. Kong" muscled its way to a pandemic-era box office record, giving Hollywood studios and theatre owners alike hope that people are ready to return to the movies after a year of watching Netflix at home. 
 
The tentpole, from Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment, generated $32 million over the weekend and $48.5 million in its first five days of release. That`s easily the biggest debut since coronavirus hit. Prior to this weekend, "Wonder Woman 1984" had the biggest three-day start with $16.7 million, followed by "Tom and Jerry" with $14 million. 
 
The results for "Godzilla vs. Kong" are especially impressive because the film is also available to HBO Max subscribers for no extra fee. It`s unclear how many people have streamed the movie. 
 
David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research, called opening weekend ticket sales "strong" given the "still-difficult conditions." More than 50% of movie theaters in the country have reopened, but many -- including those in New York City and Los Angeles -- have been operating at reduced capacity to comply with pandemic safety protocols. 
 
"While it`s half of what it would be under normal circumstances, the weekend is a clear and positive indication that moviegoing has inherent strengths that aren`t going away," he said. 
 
Though ticket sales for "Godzilla vs. Kong" are certainly encouraging, the U.S. box office has yet to fully recover from the yearlong shutdown. 
"Godzilla vs. Kong" wasn`t this weekend`s only new release. Sony Pictures` horror film "The Unholy" pulled in $3.2 million from 1,850 locations, a modest start for the low-budget movie. It narrowly beat out Universal`s action thriller "Nobody" for third place on box office charts. "Nobody," starring Bob Odenkirk as a mild-mannered father-turned-vigilante, earned $3 million in its second weekend, boosting its domestic tally to $11.8 million. 
 
In fourth, Disney`s animated adventure "Raya and the Last Dragon" made $2 million from 2,031 locations. The film, which is also playing on Disney Plus for a premium $30 fee, has grossed $32 million at the domestic box office. 
 
'Tom and Jerry'&nbsp;rounded out the top five, amassing $1.5 million in its sixth weekend in theaters. To date, the movie has made $39.5 million in the U.S. It`s also available on HBO Max.
