Bollywood, Mona Singh, horror, Munjya,

Bollywood actress Mona Singh has said that horror-comedy film “Munjya” underscored the importance of good content rather than going for good looks in movies.

Speaking to an Indian media outlet, the actress said that movies made with good content attract audience to theaters and not the films having stories circling around a hero.

“Movies nowadays shouldn’t just be about looking good, making some hit song, and shooting at great locations, it should be about great content and experience,” Mona Singh added.

Emphasising on the shift towards content-driven cinema, the Bollywood actress said that genres like horror-comedy are gaining traction in the presence of a broader family audience.

“The fantasy world is loved by the kids and their parents also join them, making it a family watch,” said Singh. “After Stree, the whole game of horror-comedy has changed. It’s important to create a different universe.”

On the success of ‘Munjya’, the actress said that folklore got a universal appeal and the story of the movie was a rooted tale that resonated with the audiences globally.

“It is crazy. Maharashtrian folklore is traveling the world. I am so happy about that. I have been receiving calls from people wanting to congratulate me (on the success of the film),” Mona Singh added.

It is pertinent to mention that the comedy-horror movie became an instant box office hit and entered the INR100 crores club on July 12, according to Indian box office experts.

The film generated INR35 crore in the first week, INR32.65 in the second, and INR22.95 crore in the third week.

Meanwhile, Mona Singh expressed hope that filmmakers would explore other genres such as horror and thriller to expand the scope of the industry.

“I am sure there will be many more producers and directors now wanting to reach out to me because of the success of recent projects I’ve been part of. The movie business is very unforgiving, you are as good as your last Friday, where movies are concerned,” she concluded.

Of nearly 25 million people in need, the United Nations has only been able to reach a fraction, according to the head of the UN’s humanitarian response in war-torn Sudan. But assistance to even those four million could soon stop, Clementine Nkweta-Salami told AFP in an interview, if the chronic lack of funding continues. The UN’s humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan says eight months into a conflict between rival generals that has torn the country apart, the situation is “catastrophic”. Aid workers have called it the “forgotten war”. On April 15, army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, turned their weapons on each other. Two years after the former allies co-engineered a 2021 coup sidelining civilians from power, their forces have killed more than 12,190 people in their brutal struggle for power, according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED). That figure is only a c
