Directed by Amar Kaushik and bankrolled by Dinesh Vijan, Bhediya is the third installment in the latter’s horror-comedy universe after Stree and Roohi. The plot of the upcoming movie revolves around the life of Bhaskar Chopra who gets bitten by a wolf coincidentally on a magical night that takes place only once every year. The outcome of the bite is that he gains the ability of wolves and a curse that turns him into a werewolf at full moon nights. Bhaskar takes help from a veterinary Dr. Anika Kothari (Played by Kriti Sanon) to break the curse.

News18 Showsha’s review of the film read, “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. Watch it if you have been thirsting for a horror-comedy.”
