‘Bhediya’ Review: Overlong Bollywood Werewolf Comedy Delivers Powerful Environmental Message

A road work contractor's plans to destroy the jungles of Northeastern India are foiled by a werewolf in an entertaining creature feature with plenty of laughs.

By Naman Ramachandran

Horror-comedy has held Indian audiences in thrall since the early 2000s, with more than 100 films in the genre being released. Amar Kaushik’s “ Bhediya ” (literally “wolf”), Bollywood’s first creature comedy, despite its punishing length, is a terrifically entertaining romp through the jungles of Northeastern India that delivers pro-environment and anti-racism messages and also has the potential to become a franchise.

Popular on variety.

The accent in “Bhediya” is more on the often juvenile and sometimes scatological comedy than the creatures. When the creatures do appear, it is a triumph of top notch visual effects, executed by the team that also worked on blockbuster “RRR” at London’s MPC. Performances are excellent throughout with Dhawan and Sanon carrying the film with ease, but the standout is Banerjee, an actor who can pull off psychopaths and bumbling comics with equal felicity and timing.

With a running time of more than two and a half hours, the film overstays its welcome, compounded by the traditional Bollywood speed breakers of song and dance and romantic interludes, which periodically interrupt the werewolf tale plot. There are a couple of MCU-style Easter eggs in the end credits and the second of them places “Bhediya” squarely in the “Stree” universe. A franchise surely beckons.

Reviewed International Film Festival of India, Goa, Nov. 26, 2022. Running time: 152 MIN.

• Production: (India) Jio Studios & Dinesh Vijan presentation of a Maddock Films Prod. production.

GOAT Review: Brilliant Vijay shoulders Venkat Prabhu's film with wafer-thin plot

Released- Thu Sep 05, 2024

Saripodhaa Sanivaaram Review: Nani elevates Vivek Athreya's clever writing

Released- Thu Aug 29, 2024

'Tikdam' Review: Good watch for kids and adults alike

Released- Fri Aug 23, 2024

"Tikdam' Movie Review: Amit Sial-starrer 'Tikdam' is a heartwarming film set in a small hilly town, exploring familial bonds and ecological issues through the innocence of children. It is streaming on JioCinema.

'Vaazhai' Review: Mari Selvaraj's career-best film will make you speechless

'Vaazhai' Movie Review: Director Mari Selvaraj's film, starring Ponvel, Kalaiyarasan and Dhivya Duraisamy, is a heart-wrenching tale. The film explores the sufferings of daily labourers and bloodthirsty owners, says our review.

'Kottukkaali' Review: PS Vinothraj, Anna Ben, Soori's film is evocative

'Kottukkaali' Movie Review: Director PS Vinothraj's film starring Anna Ben and Soori is an immersive film that raises pertinent questions. The film deals with superstition, patriarchy and chauvinism.

'Double iSmart' Review: Ram Pothineni's film is a slap to your senses

Released- Thu Aug 15, 2024

'Double iSmart' Review: Director Puri Jagannadh's film starring Ram Pothineni and Sanjay Dutt is an uninteresting sequel. With shallow writing, the film makes you question if a sequel was needed in the first place. 

Thangalaan Review: Vikram-Pa Ranjith's film drowns due to convoluted storytelling

'Thangalaan' Review: Director Pa Ranjith's film starring Chiyaan Vikram, Pa Ranjith and Parvathy Thiruvothu, is a fantasy drama about oppression and land rights. The film is too abstract for its own good.

Vedaa Review: John Abraham's film makes you wish for a fast-forward button

Vedaa movie review: The subject of the caste system is no small feat to tackle in India and full points to the makers for attempting it. However, the slow pace and stretched screenplay test your patience.

'Raghuthatha' Review: Keerthy Suresh's film on Hindi imposition is superficial

'Raghuthatha' Review: Director Suman Kumar's film, starring Keerthy Suresh and Ravindra Vijay, is a satire on Hindi imposition and patriarchy. The sub-plots needed some in-depth storytelling.

Stree 2 Review: Rajkummar Rao's multiverse of madness is entertaining

Stree 2 movie review: It is funny, has some good scares, and is a step forward for the franchise. While Hollywood boasts of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), our made-in-India SCU (Stree Cinematic Universe) also has great potential.

'Khel Khel Mein' Review: Akshay Kumar shines in this game of love and betrayal

Akshay Kumar leads a colourful cast in 'Khel Khel Mein', a game of love, trust and betrayal. While the film takes its own sweet time to bloom, it is a clean comedy that doesn't rely on double-meaning one-liners, says our review.

'Andhagan' Review: Prashanth, Simran headline a faithful remake of 'Andhadhun'

Released- Fri Aug 09, 2024

'Andhagan' Review: Directed by Thiagarajan, the film starring Prashanth and Simran, stands true to its original, 'Andhadhun'. The film's casting is its biggest strength.

'Borderlands' Review: Cate Blanchett's film is a snooze-fest

'Borderlands' doesn't make the best use of its fabulous actors. The film relies on a borrowed story, which looks like the worst combination of various superhero movies that we have seen multiple times.

'Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba' Review: Not the pulpy whodunnit any more

The sequel to 'Haseen Dillruba', 'Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba', is now streaming on Netflix. Does it live up to the 'twistedness' of the first? Read our review and find out.

'It Ends With Us' Review: Blake Lively's film hits the right notes

Blake Lively's 'It Ends With Us' is much more than just a love story, says our review. The film is based on Colleen Hoover's book of the same name.

'Minmini' Review: Halitha Shameem's film lacks depth

Director Halitha Shameem's 'Minmini', starring Praveen Kishore, Gaurav Kaalai and Esther Anil, is a film that talks about survivor's guilt. The film needed more depth and appeared stagnant, says our review.

'Mazhai Pidikatha Manithan' Review: Vijay Antony stars in yet another shoddy film

Released- Fri Aug 02, 2024

'Mazhai Pidikatha Manithan' Movie Review: Director Vijay Milton's film, starring Vijay Antony, Daali Dhananjay and Sarathkumar is a tedious watch. The film is a wasted opportunity.

Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha review: Ajay Devgn-Tabu's love story needed some 'dum'

Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha movie review: Neeraj Pandey lets down the screen presence of Ajay Devgn and Tabu, who have long been the redeeming factors in many bad movies.

Ulajh Review: Janhvi Kapoor film gets entangled in its effort to build intrigue

Director Sudhanshu Saria's 'Ulajh', starring Janhvi Kapoor, Gulshan Devaiah and Roshan Mathew, is a spy thriller with some shortcomings. Red our review.

Awesome music and cinematography

Khufiya is much better than majority of the movies that are being made today in the Hindi Film Industry. Director Vishal Bhardwaj has presented a spy thriller that does not give a deja vu feel, which is a big plus for the movie. This is what makes this movie different. Had a little more effort given to the screenplay, thus would have been a much better movie but having said that we have to agree that the movie doesn't disappoints. It has its pluses in the right place. Ali Faizal is good. Wamiqa Gabbi delivers a fine performance while Tabu is outstanding a expected. The movie is recommended to those who like to watch a good movie.

Fighter movie review: Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone’s aerial war drama runs high on adrenaline and patriotism

Fighter movie review: hrithik roshan and deepika padukone's action film keeps you invested and engaged to a point that you barely focus on the loopholes..

Fighter movie review: Bollywood’s love for telling India-Pakistan stories on the big screen knows no bound. And the subgenre of war drama takes precedence, when the director wants to lace it up with an overdose of adrenaline and thrill. Siddharth Anand ’s latest visual spectacle Fighter, has only upped the stakes in the genre, and mostly for right reasons. Also read: Fighter review and release live updates

Touted as India’s first aerial action film with Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone playing top combat aviators, Fighter creates an immersive experience and turns out to be equally impressive. No, it’s flawless, but honestly, the near perfect screenplay keeps you invested and engaged to a point that you barely focus on the loopholes.

Fighter's storyline

Not having watched the Fighter trailer , but from all the buzz on social media, I went into Fighter thinking it’s going to be riding high on the sizzling chemistry between its lead actors, but I was in for a surprise, and a rather pleasant one. An ode to the relentless and undying courage of the Indian Air Force (IAF), Fighter doesn’t digress or distract, and stays committed to its sole intention — presenting a visually stunning experience and give adrenaline rush that lasts for pretty long.

Though it’s never explicitly stated which exact period the film is set in, but there are enough and more references to the deadliest terror attack on Indian air forces in Pulwama, and the subsequent strike by India across the border in Balakot. The film begins with Commanding Office Rakesh Jai Singh aka Rocky ( Anil Kapoor ) forming a quick response team comprising top AIF fighter pilots — Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania aka Patty (Hrithik), Squadron Leader Minal Rathore aka Minni (Deepika) — to form a special unit called Air dragons. Together they display a great camaraderie, brotherhood and serve several fun moments while bonding with each other and at the same time, fighting the enemies.

The story co-written by Anand and Ramon Chibb offers a fine mix of action, emotion, patriotism, music, humour and a bit of romance too. Though I wish the way Anand has paid attention to minute details when it comes to action and execution, he had thought a bit more about the storytelling, too. The plot is intriguing yet so predictable and doesn’t let you feel awestruck on any big reveal. Dialogues by Hussain Dalal and Abbas Dalal are so average that it actually takes away from the impact the story could have had. I mean we have heard those cliched lines — ‘Time aa gaya hai Pakistan ko batane ka ki baap kaun hai’ or ‘Dushman strategy bana kar attack nahi karega’ — over and over again, and they no longer excite.

Stellar performances from almost everyone

Despite the story barely managing to stay afloat, it’s a smooth screenplay by Chibb that keeps you on the edge of your seat as you watch that spectacular air combat. Here, I’d like to mention Satchith Paulose’s cinematography that gets full credit for making Fighter a visual treat and a stunning extravaganza. The film captures some extraordinarily gorgeous locales and snowcapped mountain ranges that adds to the whole experience. Having said that, Fighter doesn’t suffer from pace issues. After a super engaging first half with a well-timed built-up, the film nosedives in the second half with portions that are forced fit only to cover the desired runtime. It’s only in the last 20 minutes then during the climax that the film picks up and moves towards an enthralling finish.

What’s definitely worth lauding in Fighter is the stellar performances from almost everyone. Hrithik is a sight for sore eyes. With his unmatched swag, chiseled body and glares on, he just owns every frame with so much ease. Whether it’s in the air doing all the aerial combat, donning the uniform or him just doing that stylish walk across the big screen, Hrithik is the strongest link in Fighter. Don’t miss checking out the hand combat between him and a terrorist on Pak land, which is one of the most well-shot sequences.

Talk of Deepika, and she’s once again effortlessly delivers a convincing act. Having seen her do some high-octane action in last year’s Pathaan, I can easily say that she has taken her act a notch higher in Fighter and you won’t complain that it’s not just her glamorous avatar that gets highlighted here. As for their onscreen chemistry, the dance sequence, the flighting and a few emotional scenes are sure to make you go awww.

Anil Kapoor once again shows why he can give the younger lot a run for their money. As a strict and brooding officer, he imbibes the traits so well in his body language.

Fighter is a full-on entertainer

Karan Singh Grover as Squadron Leader Sartaj Taj Gill aka Taj and Akshay Oberoi as Squadron Leader Basheer Khan aka Bash are brilliant in their respective parts, and it’s good to see them having well-etched out characters pivotal to the storyline, and not just supporting cast. Also, watch out for heartwarming cameos from Sharib Hashmi, Ashutosh Rana and Sanjeeda Shaikh, who put a smile on your face with their couple of scenes each.

On the other hand, Rishabh Sawhney as Azhar Akhtar, the head of terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammad brings freshness on screen with a strong introduction scene, but sadly, his character leaves zero impact as the lead antagonist. He’s perhaps one of the weakest negative portrayals in a war drama I’ve seen in a long time. There’s barely anything menacing or terrorizing about him barring that red eye, which, after a point looks like he got punched hard during some fight.

Fighter is a full-on entertainer that engages and excites in equal parts. It is high on patriotism but it never resorts to chest-thumping chants of Jai Hind or Hindustan Zindabad. The scene where Hrithik makes a reference to IOP (India Occupied Pakistan) in the climax certainly calls for loud cheers, and proves why Hindi films know best how to show love for their country. Watch Fighter for a pure paisa vasool experience, good looking performances and some gravity defying aerial action that won’t give you a headache but leave you with a sense of pride.
