Critic Consensus
Critical reception for Munjya is mixed, with scores ranging widely from 30 to 70 out of 100. Supporters found the film entertaining as a horror-comedy, citing atmospheric setting, humorous moments, and committed performances from the cast including Abhay Verma, Sharvari Wagh, and Mona Singh. Detractors, however, felt the film failed to deliver on either its horror or comedy elements effectively, with several critics noting that the narrative loses momentum after a promising start and leaves plot points unresolved. The novelty of its premise and its second half were among the few points of broader agreement among positive reviewers.

Updated“Sadly, 'Munjya' is neither funny-haha, nor does it make you want to look under your seat, despite its liberal use of jump-scares, and a CGI ghoul. In reaching for Casper-the-friendly-ghost territory, 'Munjya' loses an opportunity to have created a truly original bad boy whose rancid desire for an older girl keeps it alive all these decades.”Read full review ↗
“he spotlight is on the eponymous creature but Abhay Verma as the boy struggling to hold on to his sanity does enough not to be overshadowed. Mona Singh, Sharvari Wagh and Suhas Joshi are all more than adequate in a film in which the focus isn't really on them.”Read full review ↗

Nevertheless, the atmospheric setting, hilarious moments, and engaging performances make it an entertaining watch, especially for viewers seeking a horror-comedy experience with a youthful energy.

“Munjya is quite literally a horror show after a promising start, with the film failing to maintain its initial intrigue and delivering a disappointing viewing experience.”Read full review ↗
