The MUNJYA official trailer opens with a serene and picturesque view of a small village nestled in the hills, drenched in early morning mist. The visuals are beautiful and calm, but an undercurrent of dread is immediately felt through the eerie music playing in the background. The scene quickly transitions to a close-up of Sharvari’s character, a young woman who has just returned to her ancestral home after many years, following the mysterious death of her grandmother.
The trailer hints that something is wrong in the village. There are hushed conversations between villagers, and many seem to avoid looking directly at Sharvari as she walks through the market. We see brief shots of old, crumbling temples, eerie forested areas, and strange symbols drawn on the walls of houses. The villagers are clearly hiding something.
Sharvari’s character begins to investigate her grandmother’s death, and in the process, she discovers strange, ancient rituals tied to the village’s past. A recurring theme in the trailer is the word “Munjya,” spoken in whispers by villagers, often followed by fear or reverence. Through conversations with an elderly man and some cryptic letters, she learns that “Munjya” refers to an ancient spirit or demon tied to the village’s dark past. The demon, believed to be imprisoned for centuries, is said to prey on the souls of the dead during specific nights.
Abhay Verma plays Sharvari’s childhood friend, who tries to help her uncover the mystery but grows increasingly paranoid as strange occurrences start happening—doors slam shut on their own, eerie voices echo through the night, and unsettling visions haunt them both. There’s a brief glimpse of a shadowy figure lurking behind Sharvari in her home, and another moment shows her waking up in a cold sweat as the faint sound of someone whispering “Munjya” fills the air.
As the tension builds, the trailer showcases several jump scares, flickering lights, and the eerie figure of the Munjya spirit, a dark, humanoid entity with glowing eyes. Sharvari and Abhay’s characters try to unravel the truth behind the spirit, while the village elders warn them not to interfere with forces they do not understand. The trailer ends with Sharvari standing in front of a large, ancient tree with mysterious carvings, as the wind howls, and the shadow of Munjya creeps ever closer.
