Technical Review : For a supernatural horror comedy, Munjya, directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, blends way too many elements that intrigue you in the beginning, but gradually, end up only as a series of comedic instances that struggle to scare you.
The first half is slow but the second half is fast paced and the whole sequences of super natural things are shown to keep audience hooked.Niren Bhatt’s screenplay is solid , Saurabh Goswami’s cinematigraphy is too good which makes the settings look spooky, especially with the aerial shots of the village, that peepal tree and the stunning beach leading to it.
Performances : Abhay Verma as Aditya is fantastic as per his character potraying perfect blend od being scared and courageous Flawlessly , His chemistrt with the creature is too good to be missed .Sharvari has not much to do in first half but in second half she shines .
Mona Singh is good as per her role.
Hand of God, Elvis Karim Prabhakar (S Sathyaraj), who claims to free people from evil spirits by chanting ‘hallelujah’. He does add to the comedic element and doesn’t disappoint.
Final Words : Munjya is a heady mix of love , obsession , black magic , horror blended with comedy which you can enjoy with family in a theatre near you.
