At a time when Bollywood movies are failing to impress the audience, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon starrer Bhediya, which released in the theatres on November 25, received immense appreciation from fans for its storyline and special effects. Netizens have lauded Dhawan’s acting, calling it his 'finest performance' to date.
Producer Dinesh Vijan and director Amar Kaushik reunited to make Bhediya after the success of the 2018 movie Stree. According to critics, Bhediya while being in the same zone as Stree, is different in spirit, substance and style.
In Bhediya, Dhawan plays the role of a man who is bitten by a werewolf and turns into one.
“#Stree. #Bala. Now #Bhediya. Director #AmarKaushik gets it right yet again,” movie critic Taran Adarsh wrote on Twitter appreciating the novel concept, cutting-edge VFX and super finale.

User Vishal (@vishalandcinema) said the unique story was well played out by the director. “It’s dark and gruesome at times. I hope people don’t compare with Stree too much cos that experience was something else, this is something else.”
