Plot

Bhaskar and his cousin, Janardhan "Jana", visit a small town in Arunachal Pradesh, as part of a development project to construct roads in the area. They make acquaintance with two locals, Jomin and Panda, who guide them around. One night, Bhaskar is chased and bitten by a wolf in the forest. Jana and Jomin immediately take him to Dr. Anika, who happens to be the local veterinarian. Seeing the huge bite mark on Bhaskar's rear end and his being in immense pain, she gives him an injection, hoping it would alleviate his pain.

The next day, Bhaskar starts experiencing changes within himself. He experiences a heightened sense of smell and hearing, whilst also communicating with animals. Meanwhile, the local people and tribals are against the idea of cutting down trees in the forests to construct roads and refuse to support them. However, Bhaskar manages to get the support of the youth and they give their agreement for the project. Soon, two men who were a part of the project, are found dead. The scratch and bite marks on their body suggest that they might have been mauled and killed by an animal. Panda says that a shape-shifting werewolf is behind the killings, but nobody believes him.

Seeing Bhaskar's increasingly strange behavior, Jana suspects that Bhaskar might be the shape-shifting werewolf. Jana and Jomin secretly acquire some of Bhaskar's stools to conduct a stool test and find that fragments of human bones were found in Bhaskar's stools. It is revealed that Bhaskar is indeed the one behind the killings, as he reveals the truth to them that ever since he was bitten by the wolf, he has been transforming into a werewolf, every night, and that he has no control over it.

They decide to lock Bhaskar up at an isolated place so that he does not fall prey to his own urges. However, a local cop spots them and hears the truth, saying that he will reveal Bhaskar's identity to everyone. Just then, the wolf which had bitten Bhaskar appears and kills the cop, allowing them to escape. In order to find a cure for Bhaskar's condition, they visit an aged medical practitioner. He tells them that the only way Bhaskar can be cured of his transformation is to get bitten again by the same wolf, on a new moon night, at the exact same spot as before.

Bhaskar wears protective gear all over his body, except his rear end, where he needs to get bitten by the wolf, and goes to the forest, along with Jana and Jomin, waiting for the wolf to appear. The wolf appears and they are shocked to see that the wolf is none other than Dr. Anika, who is also a shape-shifter. She reveals that she had been bitten by the wolf around a hundred years ago. Since then, she had been the protector of the forest, killing anyone who tries to destroy the forest and its trees. She had bitten Bhaskar intending to kill him, but spared him, sensing goodness inside him. She advises him to not fall prey to deforestation and its rewards.

Anika, suddenly, is shot down and captured by the local police force. Bhaskar transforms into a werewolf and rescues Anika, killing the policemen. However, Anika succumbs to her injuries and falls off a cliff, leaving Bhaskar heartbroken. He decides to work on constructing the roads, but around the borders of the forest, leaving the trees unharmed.

In a mid-credits sceneVicky and Bittu come to meet their long-lost friend, Jana, who had previously been possessed by Stree and has since been staying far away from them, cutting off all contact. They request Jana's help in uncovering the mystery of Stree. Suddenly, Bhaskar transforms into a werewolf and appears in front of them, leaving them terrified.

Reception

Bhediya received positive reviews from critics.[25] Amandeep Naang of ABP News rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "Bhediya is a mad ride of a horror-comedy which feels different in the current climate of remakes, thrillers and period dramas".[26] Siby Jeyya of India Herald rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "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".[27] Bollywood Hungama rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Bhediya works due to its novel idea, memorable performances, captivating climax, and VFX".[28] Dhaval Roy of The Times of India rated the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote " Director Amar Kaushik handles both genres skillfully in his latest outing and strikes a fine balance to deliver a movie that’s spine chilling in some instances, rib-tickling in almost all, and leaves you with something to think about."[29] Tushar Joshi of India Today rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Performances feel genuine and Kaushik’s USP of infusing humour and wit at the right moments helps in keeping the narrative engaging and entertaining".[30] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Bhediya is both enjoyable and thought-provoking, is helped along by lively performances. Varun Dhawan gives the unconventional role his best shot. Abhishek Banerjee and Paalin Kabak are terrific as much with their comic timing as with their dramatic flourishes".[31] Devesh Sharma of Filmfare rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "The film’s creature effects and computer-generated imagery is excellent. Cinematography and the background score are good as well".[32]Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Varun Dhawan does a good job of aligning with the tone of the film-- the horror is pretty much ‘naam-ke-vaaste’, comedy is what it is interested in and does it well".[33] Rohit Bhatnagar of The Free Press Journal rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Bhediya is a good one-time popcorn entertainment and a decent distraction from the monotony".[34] Sonil Dedhia of News 18 rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Bhediya has a message that resonates with current times. The film has its heart in the right place but it falters in its execution and writing".[35] Sukanya Verma of Rediff rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Varun Dhawan ups his entertainer game exponentially in Bhediya".[36]

In a less positive review, Anna M. M. Vetticad of Firstpost rated it 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, “Bhediya is not the first film in this world to sideline characters from social groups sidelined in reality, even while purportedly being about those communities... All the noble intentions in the world and even Abhishek Banerjee’s comedic genius cannot compensate for such mindlessness.”[37] Himesh Mankad of Pinkvilla rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Bhediya rides primarily on the strength of gags, visual effects, and performances, but warranted a bigger conflict with regard to a hero and villain in the second half".[38] Umesh Punwani of Koimoi rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "You'll come in for Varun Dhawan, but will stay back for Abhishek Banerjee"[39]

Rahul Desai from Film Companion wrote: "Bhediya is silly, stylish – and surprisingly poignant"
