One Year Of Munjya! Maddock Films Celebrates a Spooky Smash Hit

One year ago, Munjya crept into theaters — and our hearts — with a wild mix of scares, laughs, and a pesky little folklore creature who caused chaos in the most entertaining way possible. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the film became a sleeper hit, raking in ₹132.13 crore worldwide against a modest ₹30 crore budget. That’s a whole lot of gulab jamuns, which, funnily enough, Maddock Films is asking fans to indulge in as they celebrate Munjya’s first birthday!

 

In a cheeky promo shared on social media, Maddock Films dropped a short clip featuring a Ouija board — a nod to the movie’s supernatural roots — with the caption: “Suno suno duniya walon, Munjya ka birthday manaa lo, aaj gulab jamun khaa lo!” It's classic Maddock: mixing horror with hilarity and serving it up with a side of sweets. The promo instantly got fans nostalgic for the film’s offbeat tone and loveable (if slightly terrifying) titular creature, who’s based on a legend from Indian folklore.

 

Starring Abhay Verma, Sharvari, Sathyaraj, and Mona Singh, Munjya was part of the growing Maddock Horror Comedy Universe — the same world that gave us Stree and Bhediya. While critics were a bit divided, audiences clearly couldn’t get enough of the folklore-meets-fun vibe. The film proved that horror doesn’t always have to come with screams — sometimes, it can come with giggles, surprises, and yes, delicious desserts.

 

As Maddock Films keeps expanding its spooky cinematic universe, Munjya remains a shining (and shrieking) example of how Indian cinema is remixing tradition with pop culture flair. So light a candle, avoid dark forests, and don’t forget the gulab jamuns — because Munjya’s birthday is officially a reason to celebrate the strange, the scary, and the silly.
