Final verdict 


Bhediya Movie released on 25th November:
 

The Horror comedy genre is new to Bollywood but it is a well-established line of filmmaking in the south. Go Goa gone can be considered the first in the series and Stree was the first movie that can be regarded as a milestone. The same Amar Kaushik has brought Bhediya and he doesn’t disappoint in his effort. 

Plot: 

An ambitious contractor Bhaskar (Varun Dhavan) from Delhi goes to Arunachal Pradesh with his cousin Janardan (Abhishek Banarjee). He has to construct a road which is passing through a village ziro. His local friend Jomin (Paolin Kabak) is his supporter in his project and Mr Panda (Deepak Dobariyal) is a person who is morally against the cutting of forests. One night a Bhediya (wolf) bites the Bhaskar while returning from the forest. Bhaskar survives this attack but he feels changes in his personality. bad odour becomes the fragrance and fragrance becomes the bad odour for him.Jomin and Janardan take him to Doctor Anika, a veterinary doctor for treatment. Meanwhile, Panda reveals the story of Vishanu, a wolf and protector of the forest. It is believed that Vishanu kills those who try to harm the forest. Suddenly, people start dying in the mysterious attacks. Is this the act of Vishanu, or it is Bhaskar? Can Bhaskar complete his project? Can Dr Anika succeed to treat Bhaskar? To find the answer to these questions you have to watch the film. 

Direction and Photography

Before speaking anything about direction. I must appreciate the photography. Stunning scenes of forest, scenery and animal photography everything is above par. It is one of the main reasons for watching this movie. Now talking about the direction. Amar Kaushik has proved In Movie Stree that he can narrate the story with humour. He maintains this belief in this movie. There are many scenes in the movies which force you to laugh. He speaks wisely about racism, nature, and wildlife but you don’t feel it is a lecture. These things come automatically and naturally and his success is lying in the point that the audience enjoys these moments in the film. The film is two hours and thirty-six minutes long but he maintains the pace of the story. 

Story, screenplay and Music: 

The story is simple and you have got an idea about the climax in the first half, and it is the success of the screenplay that despite this simple story, the audience doesn’t feel bored. The screenplay is tight and the dialogue is crisp. Music can be considered the weakest point of the film. “Jungle me kand ho gaya: is the only song which is the only song you remember after the movie. 

Acting: 

Varun Dhawan shows his range after ‘Badlapur’ it is one of the movies which he uses for boasting. Abhishek Banarjee and Deepak Dobariyal show that they can be the next OTT star because of their natural acting. Kriti Senon gets less screen time and she does what is expected from her. 

Final verdict: 
The movie is a one-time watch and for one time a must-watch. I give three stars out of five for this movie. I deduct one star for a predictable storyline and one star for music.

Chameleon succeeded o suppress the voice of both 'The ant and the Grasshopper' but he failed to justify his decision in front of senior management.  The ant was unsatisfied but being not very vocal  by nature, she accepted the decision of management. She began to work with the same intention as she did previously. 
Grasshopper was always very vocal. This incident raised his level of voice. He started complaining both situations and the behavior of beetle towards the team in front of senior management. It diminished the image of both the Chameleon and beetle. Senior management felt that chameleon did not do the justice with person like Grasshopper who was very concerned with the team matter.
Chameleon also felt that he put his hand in the Fire. So he started damage control by appeasing grasshopper. He assigned some important responsibility to the grasshopper. 
Senior management felt that Grasshopper is the most important candidate of the team and he was able to handle the team responsibility. 
Gradually the grasshopper came in the good books of senior management. He was listened to carefully in meeting. It made him powerful enough that he dictate beetle, cockroach and even lizard too.

MORAL OF THE STORY: In fable it was an ant who won but in reality always grasshopper wins because grasshopper is vocal and in reality perception prevails.

The meeting was on peak. The boss Lion was in full flow. He was teaching about the use of the latest technology in day to day work. For this, he showed a slide. This slide had pictures of Pagers, landline phone, audio cassette and other things like these. He wanted to say that as these instruments became extinct because of not updating timely as the employee using old methods became jobless. The boss lion left an impression in the meeting. Everybody was analysing own performance. Nobody wanted to consider as out of date. The boss lion summarised his speech at the end of the day. He reminded everyone to use the latest technology. Next day was the second day of the meeting. Boss lion continued the same tone the second day. He adviced and warned simultaneously to each to update themselves timely. The third day was the last day of the meeting. Marketing, performance and efforts were to analyse on this day. The boss lion began to annoy as soon as the marketing session started. His anger reached to peak when the performance session started. His patience was over when the efforts session started. He roared and said, "I observe that peoples are not serious. They have forgotten their early days. How did they work when they needed a job badly?" He instructed that everyone should work like their early days. Each one should focus on work despite concentrating on social media, mobiles and other distracting things. "Any Doubts?" The boss lion roared again. The fox raised her hand to asked something. "So, you have a problem. I know that only you have the problem." The boss lion said. "Ask!" "Sir! Should we follow old methods or update ourselves with new technologies?" The fox asked.

The Ant and the Grasshopper


The Beetle got the promotion. Both ant and the grasshopper were very annoyed. They couldn't bear the cheating which was done with them. They blasted on their immediate boss cockroach. Cockroach tried his best to admonish them but both of them became a rebel. Cockroach told this to his boss, the lizard. The lizard sent the strict message down the line telling them it was a management decision but both ant and the grasshopper were denied to obey this. The lizard understood that he could not be able to handle this. He sent the message to the chameleon, his boss. Chameleon took this matter very seriously. He ordered the lizard to call the meeting. The lizard sent this message to the cockroach. In the meeting, the chameleon asked a question, "Who has the problem with the promotion of the beetle?" The grasshopper raised his hand to say something. The Chameleon interrupted him and said, "Those who have any problem can resign and can join the company where they get the promotion." the grasshopper couldn't say next word. The Ant also thought about the EMI of Rs. 30000.00 which he had to pay every month. He couldn't afford to lose the job. And this way the boss chameleon succeeded to solve all problems in the team. MORAL OF THE STORY: The boss is always right and he cannot do any mistake. If he does any mistake, his subordinate is responsible for the mistake. Remember everyone has to pay EMI's and it is not possible without a salary.
