Munjya Movie Review by Anupama Chopra | Abhay Verma | Sharvari | Film Companion
Munjya is a rakshas from Maharashtrian folklore, a malevolent spirit born from an incomplete ritual.

Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the film blends traditional horror with humor and social commentary, featuring Abhay Verma as the unlikely hero. Is this addition to the Stree-Bhediya universe worth the watch, or is another hit-and-miss in the horror-comedy genre?
