Munjya: The Box Office Juggernaut We Didn’t See Coming! 🎥💥

Munjya, directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, starring Abhay Verma, Sharvari Wagh, and Mona Singh, has absolutely bulldozed its way to Rs 90 crores in just three weeks. And no, this isn’t some overnight sensation; it’s been a slow burn of brilliance. But oh dear, the arrival of Kalki 2898 AD has given Munjya a bit of a reality check.

Munjya: A Box Office Darling

Okay, let’s be real. Kalki 2898 AD had the best third-week performance for a Hindi film this year. But Munjya? It started with a humble Rs 4 crores and is now knocking on the Rs 100 crore door. That’s what I call a comeback story. The movie’s acceptance is proof that people are here for the spooks and laughs combo. Who needs a superstar when you have a killer script and a gutsy new cast?

Plot Recap: What’s Munjya All About?

In 1952, a boy wanted to marry Munni, a girl seven years older. When that’s a no-go, he’s forcefully shaved bald and Munni marries someone else. The boy tries some dark magic involving his sister (yikes!) and ends up dying, turning into the monster Munjya. Fast forward to today, Bittu (Abhay Verma) works at a hair salon and has recurring nightmares. He loves Bella (Sharvari Wagh), who’s dating a foreigner named Kuba. Things get spooky when Bittu visits his ancestral village and meets, you guessed it, Munjya. The boy-turned-monster haunts Bittu, demanding help to find his Munni. Will Bittu succeed or become Munjya’s next victim?
