The film's comparison with other major releases of 2024
Munjya recently became the fifth highest-grossing film of 2024. It now trails behind Hrithik Roshan's Fighter, Ajay Devgn-R Madhavan's Shaitaan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kriti Sanon, and Tabu's Crew, and Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, starring Shahid Kapoor and Sanon. Munjya's performance is particularly remarkable since it does not feature any major actors and yet has a stronghold over audiences like blockbusters do!
