Bhog -2025- Uncut Neonx Originals Short Film 72... Access

The "Uncut" label (#72 in the NeonX series) implies no editorial interference. The film’s final 90 seconds feature a static shot of the empty table. The food remains. But the chairs have turned to face the camera. No credits roll until the screen has been black for a full ten seconds. Bhog (2025) - Uncut NeonX Originals Short Film 72 is currently exclusive to the NeonX streaming platform (available with a subscription) and will have a limited theatrical run as a pre-show for A Quiet Place: Day One re-release in select Indian metros.

Set in a decaying haveli in Rajasthan during the lunar month of Bhadrapada , the plot follows (played by newcomer Dhruv Singh), a cynical urban documentarian, and his anthropologist sister Mira (Ananya Sen). They are summoned by a reclusive pujari to record a "once-in-a-century" Tarpan ritual. The catch? The feast is not for the gods, but for a restless spirit that has been feeding on the family’s lineage for generations. Bhog -2025- Uncut NeonX Originals Short Film 72...

This is not background noise. It is a ritual. Final Verdict: If you believe horror must be fast and loud, Bhog is not for you. But if you seek a film that uses the most mundane human act—eating—to explore the most primal human fear (being consumed by your own history), then this 22-minute nightmare is essential, unforgettable viewing. Just don’t watch it on a full stomach. The "Uncut" label (#72 in the NeonX series)

Film critic Tanushree Boral wrote: "Bhog is not a film you watch. It is a film you sit through, like a difficult puja. By the end, you are not scared—you are hollowed out. And that is far more effective." But the chairs have turned to face the camera

But what exactly is Bhog ? On the surface, it is a psychological horror thriller. At its core, it is a visceral deconstruction of ritual, grief, and consumption. The title Bhog is deliberately misleading. In Hindu tradition, Bhog refers to the sacred food offered to a deity or the meal given to a priest during a Shraddha (ancestral rite). The film weaponizes this concept.

In the ever-expanding landscape of Indian digital short films, where jump scares and gore often dominate the horror genre, the NeonX Originals production Bhog (2025) arrives as a disturbing outlier. Directed as part of the “Uncut” series (notably entry #72), this short film eschews conventional storytelling for a slow-burn, sensory assault that lingers long after the 22-minute runtime.
