- A man-eater werewolf roams the remote jungles of the Northeast.
Bhaskar (Varun Dhawan), a small-time contractor, has secured a project from his client, Bagga (Saurabh Shukla), where he'll make a highway through Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh. Bhaskar has mortgaged his own house to finance the project.
He is assisted by his cousin brother and IAS aspirant, Janardhan (Abhishek Banerjee) and locals Jomin (Paalin Kabak) and Panda (Deepak Dobriyal). Cousin Jana continues to suffer from seizures stemming from his traumatic encounter with Stree.
When Bhaskar and company meet the elders of the town, they face immediate and low-key violent rejection of their proposal of deforestation and destruction of houses to make way for the highway. They face a lot less push-back from the youngsters as Bhaskar talks about how the highway is going to lead to the construction of cafes, malls, MNCs, etc., which in turn prompts the elders to change sides. Prakash distributes iPhone to all youngsters and gets their signatures on the project agreement document.
After getting a surface-level idea of where the officials in charge of the construction (Sr. Engineer Neri (Baharul Islam), the Forest Officer, Local Head Prakash (Dosam Beyong), and more) stand, Bhaskar moves ahead with the deforestation.
One night, he gets attacked by a red-eyed wolf, which then causes him to turn into a werewolf. This not only jeopardizes him and his friends but also the project as the townsfolk see the emergence of the "Vishanu" (virus) as a bad omen. The local tale is that whoever cuts the jungle, is cut by the jungle and is turned into a werewolf. Jomin and Jana were with Bhaskar at the time, but did not want to take him to a hospital, as the rumors would have killed the project. Jomin takes Bhaskar to an animal hospital instead.
After getting some shifty medical treatment from veterinarian Anika (Kriti Sanon), Bhaskar wakes up the next day smelling more, hearing more, and catching flies with his bare hands. This allows him to smell a dead rabbit from miles away and hear Neri's ulterior motives for the project.
His diet goes from fully vegan to meat-based (which includes human meat as well). It grants him healing powers, superhuman strength, the ability to move fast, understand what animals are saying, and the ability to transform into an actual wolf (or werewolf).
But in the process, he ends up wounding Prakash. Due to the attack on Prakash, the agreement documents are lost in the river. As Prakash's wounds start to heal, thereby indicating that he is gaining werewolf powers, the local administration cremates his body to avoid public panic. Jomin and Jana can see the changes in Bhaskar, as he vomits blood, has super-human strength and his jacket was found near Prakash's injured body.
Bhaskar as the werewolf attacks Jomin and Jana when they try to track him down. The werewolf kills Neri on the same night, as Neri got the timber contract after Prakash. However, since Neri's death is recorded on camera, showing a wolf wearing Bhaskar's boxers, word gets out that a man-eater is on the prowl. That, in turn, causes the stalling of the highway construction project. Throughout Bhaskar is observed by the werewolf who bit him in the first place.
Bhaskar reveals to his friends (Jomin, Jana and Panda) that he has become a shape-shifting werewolf ever since he got bitten by the wolf and that he has been committing the murders, having no control over his actions. They decide to chain Bhaskar at night at a remote location to prevent further attacks. Nevertheless, a Forest Range Officer Kaso (Ligang Sallu) discovers the truth and intimidates Bhaskar, but he is subsequently attacked and killed by the wolf that bit Bhaskar.
Horrified, Bhaskar and his friends consult a Shaman Ojha (Madang Pai), who asserts that Bhaskar could be cured only if he gets bitten by the same werewolf on a New moon night at the same place. He then goes to the place with Jana and Jomin and realizes that Anika is the werewolf. Ojha says that the jungle only strikes humans when the humans harm the jungles. And the original werewolf is the caretaker of the jungle, who also acts as the enforcer to humans who try to cut the jungles.
Bhaskar is empathetic towards the environment and the animals who are going to suffer from the construction of the highway through his transformation. Additionally, the werewolf spirit that's inside Bhaskar's body or mind uses Bhaskar's people-pleasing skills to pinpoint the officials who are anti-environmental and then kills them at night as the wolf.
There is some animosity between Jomin and Panda because the former was born and brought up in Ziro, while the latter was born in Nainital and has been living in Ziro longer than Jomin. Panda and Jomin's enmity is also based on development versus forest preservation. Jomin thinks the only way to counter the discrimination Arunachalis face from every other state is through development. But Panda thinks that the road to anti-discrimination sentiments can't be at the cost of a forest (which is further echoed by Anika as well as Janardhan).
The local versus migrant issue is mostly resolved when Panda says that those who can feel the pain of the people are truer to their land than those who are there by birth but don't feel for it. This point is strengthened by Anika's as she's the wolf who has been protecting the land for over 100 years despite being a migrant, and Bhaskar's evocation of a certain politician (who claims to be the most Indian out of all Indians) to sell a future that doesn't yet exist.
Anika reveals that she was bitten by a werewolf over a century ago and has since served as the guardian of the forest. She tells them that she was initially intent on killing Bhaskar for his involvement in the project but chose to spare him upon realizing that he has kindness and humanity within.
After nearly killing Jomin and Jana, Bhaskar realizes that he needs to get rid of the werewolf spirit so that he can go back home. Anika does show him how beautiful Ziro is by taking him to her favorite place, and Bhaskar does say that he wishes to become an animal and stay there forever. But his need to "get cured" prompts him to get bitten by the werewolf (Anika) that originally bit him, and that too on a new moon night.
That plan nearly works. However, the hunters looking for the werewolf attack Anika and later entrap her with the intention of killing her in full public view. Bhaskar realizes that he has to voluntarily turn into a werewolf and save Anika. Janardhan and Jomin try the worst methods imaginable to get him to transform.
However, Panda explains that Bhaskar needs to feel the life and energy coursing through the forest because the same energy also resides in him. He does it gloriously and fights off the hunters. The old "ojha" frees Anika and subsequently bows down to them as if to thank them for defeating the aggressors. The duo then travels back to Anika's favorite place, where she succumbs to her injuries. Bhaskar's eyes turn red, just like Anika's did when she turned into a wolf, and he mourns her loss with his signature howl.
Bhaskar announces that the road will be rerouted along the forest's border, thereby avoiding deforestation. Jana chains Bhaskar to contain his transformations, Vicky (Rajkummar Rao) and Bittu (Aparshakti Khurana) pay him a visit and plead with him to return home, seeking his help with a new issue. Bhaskar transforms into a werewolf and suddenly appears in front of them, leaving them terrified.
