Bhediya follows Bhaskar (Varun) who transforms into a werewolf every full moon night after being bitten by a mythical wolf. The film also stars Kriti Sanon, Deepak Dobriyal and Abhishek Banerjee. The horror comedy is produced by Dinesh Vijan. It is produced by Jio Studios and Vijan’s Maddock Films.
Bhediya’s review: “Varun Dhawan is in top form and owns every frame. He literally pushed the saw, tried a new genre and looked so convincing in it. His transformation scenes from man to wolf are stunning and terrifying at the same time with his ripped muscles and a chiseled body that sends chills down your spine. She excels in both comic and serious scenes. Kriti Sanon is decent and gives a good performance, however, her character, I felt, could have had more depth and better placement in the narrative.”
