Mona Singh and Sharvari-starrer Munjya is having a dream run at the box office. The film is in its second week and shows no signs of slowing down. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film earned its highest collection so far on its second Sunday, garnering Rs 8.75 crore and bringing its total domestic collection to Rs 55.75 crore. Munjya might have faced some competition from Kartik Aaryan's latest release Chandu Champion in urban centres, but the film remains undeterred by its release and maintains a dominance in hinterland. The Kabir Khan directorial released in theatres on Friday and minted Rs 10 crore on Sunday. Despite being in its second week, Munjya's Sunday earnings stand almost at par with Chandu Champion. Explaining the same, Taran Adarsh wrote, "#ChanduChampion may have impacted #Munjya at urban centres [marginally], but #Munjya leads in mass pockets / heartland. Importantly, #Munjya continues to defy all predictions as far as its *lifetime biz* is concerned… Additionally, it has silenced all those who felt - prior to its release - that it should’ve taken the direct-to-digital route.
