Bhediya

Bhediya

Road contractor Bhaskar, accompanied by his cousin Jana, visits downtown Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh, on a road construction assignment. There, they are welcomed by local residents Jomin, a friend of Bhaskar, and Panda, who show them around. One night, a wolf attacks Bhaskar on his rear end, and he is immediately rushed to Anika, a local veterinarian. Despite her inexperience, she treats him. The next day, Bhaskar finds himself miraculously cured and notices heightened senses of smell and hearing; he also realises that he can now communicate with animals. Meanwhile, local tribes and residents strongly oppose his project, as it requires deforestation. Following the deaths of two officials involved in the project due to alleged animal attacks, Bhaskar reveals to his friends that he has become a shape-shifting werewolf ever since being bitten by the wolf, and that he has been committing the murders while having no control over his actions. They decide to chain Bhaskar up at a remote location each night to prevent further attacks. Nevertheless, a police officer discovers the truth and intimidates Bhaskar, but is subsequently attacked and killed by the wolf that bit him. Horrified, Bhaskar and his friends consult a Shaman, who asserts that Bhaskar can only be cured if he is bitten by the same werewolf on a new moon night at the same place. He then goes there with Jana and Jomin and realises that Anika is the werewolf.
