“Munjya” has entered its third weekend at the box office, marking a significant milestone in Maddock’s horror-comedy universe. As the fourth installment in this series, it now trails only “Stree” in terms of box office numbers.
The film, featuring Sharvari Wagh, Mona Singh, and Abhay Verma in lead roles, has surpassed the lifetime collection of “Bhediya” at the ticket window. By the end of its second week, “Munjya” had amassed around Rs 68 crore, overtaking “Bhediya’s” lifetime earnings of Rs 68.99 crore following Friday’s business.

Released in November 2022, the Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon-starrer “Bhediya” collected Rs 56.71 crore in its first two weeks, a figure significantly lower than what “Munjya” has achieved in the same period. Meanwhile, “Stree,” starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, remains at the top with a lifetime earning of Rs 130 crore, showcasing the enduring appeal of Maddock’s horror-comedy universe.
