Bhediya

When it's trailer was released, I was very excited to watch it because it wasn't a typical bollywood movie. In trailer we saw how they have focused on every minor detail about what would be the effects on a man after bitten by a wolf. There was one more thing I was excited for was it's VFX. Today after watching the movie I can say I'm not disappointed at all. I mean the movie could have been much better but it's ok. First of all I would like to talk about its plus points like the VFX were good, performance of the actors and humour was also good. I liked how they didn't stretched the love story part like BRAHMASTRA. There are some negative points also like the story and screenplay could have been better but overall I would say it's a good movie.

It's an average movie you can watch. It's not too much over the top as well as not that thumbs down type of movie. It's an okay movie.

Most importantly for those who are Stree fans, you don't want to miss the end credit scene. They have made the ending like Marvel Cinematic Universe does buy this time in a horror universe. So, it's a good movie to watch.

First of all, I would like to the praise the actors and supporting actors in the movie. They did splendid job, all of them.

Second of all, it creates excitement with unique story.

But I will cut one star for copied concept of warewolf.

I will cut one more star for making some awkward scenes in the middle that were completely unnecessary.

I will give the thumbs up for cameos, specially Shraddha Kapoor, which is already revealed in the film trailer. There are more cameos.

I hated the actual sequel, besides the end credits. Story wise, it's an okay movie.

So, I will rate this movie 7 out of 10.

BHEDIYA is definitely a unique, never seen before experience in Bollywood but surprisingly it never really reached its true potential and manages only half of it.

The story was predicted right from when the trailer dropped and ya, it's the same but with a slight twist. A man , in to destroy a forest ,turning into wolf to kill anyone that is involved with this project, pretty predictable story.

The only thing that comes as a twist is the 2nd wolf (which too many can predict, maybe some can't ).

The reason why the story never reaches its true potential is the weak writing. The comedy shockingly does not really work always and ya, as i said before, the story is not something unique but the concept is. Often the film slows down which is why you are not always invested in the film.

The use of wolves to communicate a message was unique, although the message is not. VFX is just top class after Brahmastra. The scenes where we get close ups of VD transforming into a wolf is amazing and even horrifying seeing the half human half wolf face of VD , that look can be used in horror films. The wolves itself are rendered pretty well. Cinematography is top class especially in the jungles and that final climax scene at the edge of the hill is really heart breaking and emotional, probably the highlight of the film !

Another reason why the film never really reached its true potential was that the film spends too much time in the wrong places but what instead it should have spent more time is exploring the back story of these Bhediyas which unfortunately is just explained in 15 seconds. This is what was the heart of the film. Show us more of what happened to Sharad kelkar and his kid. Show us a little more of their journey. Show us more of the Bhediyas and their past . Sadly, none is shown .

Songs, can be skipped. Thumkeshwari song is at the end and does not make much sense to include it even there considering how the film ended.

Overall, Bhediya is a one time decent watch but i was a little disappointed considering this film looked really promising but delivered only half of it.

Visually appealing and well made horror comedy . Story was simple and predictable , but these kinda concept is new to Bollywood and Indian cinema . Comedy worked well and never felt over the top in any place , especially Abhishek Banerjee did great . Screenplay was bit slow , similar to Stree kinda pace . Main positive was breathe taking visuals , cinematography was great , terrific VFXs and CGI , and 3D effect literally lifted up the whole experience . Music and songs were good . Cast did their job well . Overall , visually delivered a Hollywood experience and good entertainer to watch . Don't miss it to watch it on Big screen .

Bollywood Saviour !

Don't miss the mid credit scene .

Available in regional languages too.....

( Still can't believe they made this movie in 60crs budget )

( Dai Vadakans Padatha flop aakirathingha da )

When you want to give some messages to the audience within a genre film, it shouldn't be straightforward. The film primarily should be focused on that genre. Bhediya is a Horror-Comedy, but both these elements didn't work well in the film. Only Stree successfully did this, both Roohi & Bhediya failed in writing.

But, there are too many positives things also in Bhediya. Visually the film is amazing. All the jungle scenes or specially the transformation scenes were too good. And Varun acted brilliantly in these scenes. Songs by Sachin-Jigar were good and the BGM was perfect. Lastly, thanks to Maddock for Bhediya, maybe in future we'll get more of like these with better writing.

Available on Jiocinema.
