The Horror comedy genre is new to Bollywood but it is a well-established line of filmmaking in the south. Go Goa gone can be considered the first in the series and Stree was the first movie that can be regarded as a milestone. The same Amar Kaushik has brought Bhediya and he doesn’t disappoint in his effort.
An ambitious contractor Bhaskar (Varun Dhavan) from Delhi goes to Arunachal Pradesh with his cousin Janardan (Abhishek Banarjee). He has to construct a road which is passing through a village ziro. His local friend Jomin (Paolin Kabak) is his supporter in his project and Mr Panda (Deepak Dobariyal) is a person who is morally against the cutting of forests.
One night a Bhediya (wolf) bites the Bhaskar while returning from the forest. Bhaskar survives this attack but he feels changes in his personality. bad odour becomes the fragrance and fragrance becomes the bad odour for him.Jomin and Janardan take him to Doctor Anika, a veterinary doctor for treatment.
Meanwhile, Panda reveals the story of Vishanu, a wolf and protector of the forest. It is believed that Vishanu kills those who try to harm the forest. Suddenly, people start dying in the mysterious attacks. Is this the act of Vishanu, or it is Bhaskar? Can Bhaskar complete his project? Can Dr Anika succeed to treat Bhaskar? To find the answer to these questions you have to watch the film.
Before speaking anything about direction. I must appreciate the photography. Stunning scenes of forest, scenery and animal photography everything is above par. It is one of the main reasons for watching this movie.
Now talking about the direction. Amar Kaushik has proved In Movie Stree that he can narrate the story with humour. He maintains this belief in this movie. There are many scenes in the movies which force you to laugh. He speaks wisely about racism, nature, and wildlife but you don’t feel it is a lecture. These things come automatically and naturally and his success is lying in the point that the audience enjoys these moments in the film. The film is two hours and thirty-six minutes long but he maintains the pace of the story.
The story is simple and you have got an idea about the climax in the first half, and it is the success of the screenplay that despite this simple story, the audience doesn’t feel bored. The screenplay is tight and the dialogue is crisp.
Music can be considered the weakest point of the film. “Jungle me kand ho gaya: is the only song which is the only song you remember after the movie.
Varun Dhawan shows his range after ‘Badlapur’ it is one of the movies which he uses for boasting. Abhishek Banarjee and Deepak Dobariyal show that they can be the next OTT star because of their natural acting. Kriti Senon gets less screen time and she does what is expected from her.
The movie is a one-time watch and for one time a must-watch. I give three stars out of five for this movie. I deduct one star for a predictable storyline and one star for music.
