The ghostly Munjya is not just any spirit; it’s the soul of a young boy who died before getting married and whose unfulfilled desires have turned into a dangerous obsession. His target? Bittu’s life, and more specifically—Bittu’s love life. As the spirit becomes more demanding and chaotic, Bittu finds himself caught between saving himself, protecting his family, and figuring out how to put an end to the haunting.
What follows is a fast-paced rollercoaster filled with horror, comedy, and emotional moments. Bittu is forced to confront not just the supernatural world, but also his own fears, insecurities, and hidden family truths. The film masterfully blends spooky folklore with modern humor and heartfelt storytelling, creating a narrative that’s both entertaining and meaningful.
The unique twist in Munjya lies in how it uses a traditionally terrifying spirit to explore themes of love, legacy, and liberation. While there are plenty of jump scares and creepy visuals, the heart of the film is about family bonds, generational trauma, and breaking free from the past.
