Bhediya, featuring Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon, premiered in theatres on Friday to a fair response. Unfortunately for the filmmakers, the movie was leaked online the day it was released.
According to a Times Now investigation, the Amar Kaushik-directed film was downloaded illegally from several Torrent websites. It will be interesting to see whether this affects how well the movie does at the box office.

Early estimates have Bhediya’s opening-day revenue at between Rs. 6 and Rs. 7 crores. But fortunately for the filmmakers, not much damage was done because the movie went on to be a hit at the box office. It was able to pass the Rs 100 crore milestone at the Indian box office in just its first week, and it also did well worldwide.
In the creature comedy Bhediya, Varun plays a man who gets bitten by a wolf and then transforms into the same.
