Munjya Box Office Success

Munjya enjoyed huge success at the box office and minted over Rs 132 crore against a production budget of Rs 30 crore. The movie made the fifth-highest-grossing Hindi film of the year. The movie's reception has been overwhelmingly positive by both critics and audiences.

While talking to Bollywood Hungama, Aditya Sarpotdar, the director of the movie mentioned that most of the actors find auditions tiring, but I see them as a gateway.  "Passing that gateway is crucial. I knew from the start that Munjya would be a significant contribution to Hindi cinema, especially in a genre that hasn’t been explored much," Sarpotdar added.
