The horror-comedy film “Munjya” has taken the domestic box office by storm, raking in an impressive Rs 4.21 crore nett on its opening day. Released on Friday, this achievement is particularly remarkable given the absence of A-list actors in the cast.
Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and featuring Sharvari, Mona Singh, Abhay Verma, and Sathyaraj, “Munjya” has quickly captured the audience’s attention. Produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films and Amar Kaushik, the movie’s strong performance highlights the strength of compelling storytelling and advanced CGI technology.
Maddock Films proudly shared the news of the film’s success on Instagram, describing it as a “record-breaking collection for a film with no A-list actors.” The film’s setting in Pune and the Konkan region, drawing on rich Marathi folklore, adds to its unique appeal. “Munjya” is a part of Maddock Films’ well-received horror-comedy universe, which includes popular titles like “Stree” (2018), “Roohi” (2021), and “Bhediya” (2022).
This unexpected box office triumph underscores the growing popularity of regional cinema and the potential for films with strong narratives and innovative visuals to captivate audiences, even without star-studded casts.
