Maddock Films continues to masterfully blend horror and Indian folklore in its supernatural universe, and “Munjya” is a testament to this craft. The film, starring Abhay Verma, Sharvari Wagh and Mona Singh, weaves an eerie tale rooted in the Konkan region’s rich mythology. The story revolves around Bittu (Verma), whose family history intertwines with the fearsome Brahma Rakshas, a spirit haunting his ancestral village. Verma’s portrayal of Bittu is compelling, capturing the character’s fear and innocence, while Wagh and Singh deliver notable performances despite limited screen time.
The movie is well-paced, keeping viewers engaged with its suspenseful and terrifying scenes. However, the background score occasionally falters, detracting from the intended atmosphere. Despite this minor flaw, “Munjya” is a captivating horror-comedy that successfully marries folklore with cinematic thrills. It beautifully draws from cultural depth to weave a story that is both enthralling and deeply rooted in Indian mythology, making it a must-watch for fans of supernatural tales.
