Munjya’s Impressive Box Office Performance
Released worldwide in theatres on June 7, 2024, “Munjya” received rave reviews from critics and quickly became a box office sensation. The film, produced on a modest budget of ₹30 crore, managed to gross ₹132 crore globally, making it the sixth highest-grossing Hindi film of the year.
Director Aditya Sarpotdar expressed his excitement about the film’s OTT release, noting his anticipation of how a broader audience will receive “Munjya” now that it is available for streaming. Despite its ambitious concept and a unique 3D-CGI character, the film’s small cast and compelling narrative resonated with viewers. Sarpotdar believes that “Munjya” will continue to captivate audiences of all ages, whether watched in theatres or from the comfort of home.
