Bhaskar, a road builder, travels to Arunachal Pradesh to construct a highway through the deep ziro jungle. Along with resistance from the tribes, he and his friends, cousin JD and friend Jomin, face a greater obstacle. Soon after bhaskar is bitten by a wild animal, a slew of unanticipated deaths occur. Is it a product of someone's mind or is it a mythical werewolf that actually exists?

Horror and humour are difficult genres to execute on their own. A movie in either category may not succeed if the plot and cinematic treatment aren't done well. And Bhediya excels in this situation. In his latest film, director amar kaushik, who previously helmed the horror-comedy stree under the same banner, expertly handles both genres while striking a delicate balance to produce a picture that is spine-chilling in some scenes, rib-tickling in almost all, and leaves you with something to ponder. Filmmakers have always found the mythology surrounding werewolves to be a rich source of material for their tales, and in this case, amar kaushik dives deep into Arunachal Pradesh to present a strange narrative.

The impact of the film's visuals is by far its most noteworthy aspect. The vfx are incredible, and cinematographer Jishnu Bhattacharjee has masterfully captured the dark and fascinating realm of werewolves with the backdrop of the full moon in the midnight sky, ziro jungles, and mountains. Because of poor makeup and effects, monsters and other creatures in movies frequently end up being more spoofy than frightening. not in Bhediya, though. The lead's convincing and horrifying transition into a werewolf. The movie contains a lot of jump scares, and the music further heightens the tension.

Varun is excellent like the wolf that can change its shape. Hopefully, his act will cause a shift in his career, of which a significant portion was the physical makeover with rippling muscles and a flawlessly formed body. He gives this role everything he has, and it shows. He excels in every scene, from the exciting and dramatic one where he initially becomes a bhediya to the humorous one where he struggles to become a werewolf in the second half. In his role as Janardan, or JD, abhishek banerjee is spot-on and displays impeccable comic timing.

The first part of the film is quite riveting. It creates interest and sets the tone for what is about to happen properly. The second half, however, drags in spots and looks drawn out. It has to be edited more carefully. While all of the songs are enjoyable and catchy, omitting one or two would have made the storyline more concise. Additionally, at moments it appears like the movie is attempting to do too much. While it mostly focuses on conservation and man-animal conflict, a topic that requires much discussion, it also briefly mentions the stereotyping of people in the Northeast and how they frequently have to deal with the "outsider" label.

The movie also serves as a reminder of our animal impulses and the possibility that each of us possesses a bhediya. However, it is up to us how we want to release it, for better or worse. We only need to search deep within to find both the beast and the beauty. You may have an experience and a notion that are deeper than the ziro forests after watching the movie. So go ahead and watch this. 


This one is worth the trek to the theatres if you want a roaring good time. At the conclusion, there is a pleasant surprise as well.
