==Plot==
Atin is a bachelor, who lives with his elderly aunt Pushpa di, after his mother's death. A private employee, he is an extrovert and loves clubbing after his office hours. But things take a turn in his life after he gets a mysterious brass idol from his friend Subesh's antique shop. He was intrigued by the features of the goddess' statue, who held a [[veena]] in her upper left hand, a kharga in upper right hand, a human skull in lower left hand and had lower right hand posed in aashirvad mudra. Upon inquiring Subesh about the goddess' name, he informed that it was unknown to him too as he received it while acquiring old items from an old house.

Atin starts getting haunted dreams every night after bringing the idol to his house. A green complexioned goddess comes to his dreams, asking him to feed her and satisfy her hunger. Worried by the these events, he started offering her flowers and fruits as ''bhog''. Bhavesh kaku analysed from its appearance that the idol represents a Tantric goddess. With Pushpa di, he warned him from worshipping her. It was an unknown goddess and Atin was unfamiliar with the rituals of her worship. Any mistake could cost him to face the wrath of the goddess. Without paying heed to their advice, he got indulged in her devotion, becoming eccentric and introverted, thinking only about the goddess.

One day, Bhavesh kaku brought a priest to recognize the idol. They were shocked to see Atin presenting a demented devotional dance to the goddess. The priest too failed to recognize it and suggested Atin to not worship her without knowing the proper rituals. But Atin, hellbent upon his decision, asked them to not interfere in his "Maa - chele" relationship with the goddess, since she comes in his dreams and speaks with him.

One day, Atin meets a mysterious homeless widow Damri, who stopped his car asking him for food. Then Atin accepts her request to offer her shelter. Despite objection from Pushpa di, Damri starts living with them and enthusiastically prepares ''bhog'' for Atin to offer to the goddess. On the next day after Damri's arrival, Atin finds that for the first time, the goddess has eaten his offerings. He felt there is some magic in Damri's cooking, since the goddess started eating "bhog" ever since she started cooking it. One day, Pushpa di suddenly disappeared. A police investigation was started but it was closed after a few days when Atin absent mindedly, gave police permission to shut down the case.

Over time, Atin starts hating social interactions and lost his will to live. Despite feeling like throwing up, he eats the foul smelling food cooked by Damri. Worried, Bhabesh kaku asked Subesh to take him to the place from where he procured the idol. They met the priest who handed over the idol to Subesh. He informed, the idol represents the ninth of the ten [[Mahavidyas]], goddess [[Matangi]]. Being the [[kulguru]] of the local zamindar family in succession of lineage for hundreds of years, he revealed the reason behind the idol's creation. He handed it over costless, since Sahashraksh Chakraborty, the initial worshipper of the idol, had instructed that the idol must be handed over to someone if the family ever moves out of their ancestral house, or else danger will befall them. He stated that if a person commits any mistake while worshipping her, a [[churel|petni]] belonging to the ten Mahavidyas will enter his life and kill him at the end of 1 [[amavasya]].

While returning from office, Atin stopped at a ''[[dhaba]]'', where he met [[Krishnananda Agamavagisha|Krishnananda Maitra]]. Atin gave a part his food on Maitra's request. Pleased, he gave Atin a [[sapphire]] pendant locket and adviced him to never take it off. He assured that Maa [[Mahadevi |Mahamaya]] will protect him. After wearing it, Atin regained sanity. He realised Pushpa di was missing. Next day, on [[amavasya]], he realised, goddess has not eaten his previous day's offerings. Damri assured she will cook ''Mohabhog'' to offer that day. Going to the roof, Atin discovers tantric [[Sri Yantra |yantras]] drawn, where birds and cats lay dead. While returning home that day, he meets Bhavesh kaku, who informed him that Damri is a [[churel|petni]] and the only way to defeat her is to fight her face to face or else she will sacrifice Atin on that day.

Entering the house, they find everything was in shambles. In one room, Damri was cooking a hand in a pot with fire emitting from her legs. Atin recognized it was Pushpa di's hand. He rushed to avenge Pushpa di's death. Attempting to stop Atin, Bhavesh got slapped unconscious by Damri. In a duel, Atin was forced to take off the locket, under influence of Damri's ''[[Maya (religion)|maya]]''. When she was about to kill him, with his last bit of strength, he grabbed the locket lying slightly away from him. He touched it on Damri's forehead and she was killed. A week later, Bhavesh kaku regained his conscience. On his advice, Atin immersed the idol in the [[Hooghly River]]. In a post credit scene, it is shown that two friends are drinking at a river [[ghat]]. One of them suddenly notices a goddess asking him to give her food and satiate her hunger, indicating that people will go on getting trapped in goddess [[Matangi]]'s ''[[Maya (religion)|maya]]'' unless she is properly worshipped by someone.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Latest in entertainment, lifestyle, fashion {{!}} t2ONLINE - Vibe With The tRIBE |url=https://t2online.in/goodlife/tech/parambrata-chattopadhyay-to-direct-the-mythological-thriller-bhog-starring-anirban-bhattacharya/1212603 |access-date=2025-04-16 |website=www.t2online.in |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-11-11 |title=পরমব্রতর পরিচালনায় 'ভোগ' নিয়ে আসছেন অনির্বাণ, রয়েছে আরও অনেক চমক |url=https://bangla.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/anirban-bhattacharya-to-act-in-parambrata-chatterjee-directorial-in-bengali-web-series-bhog-31731311651968.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241112064021/https://bangla.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/anirban-bhattacharya-to-act-in-parambrata-chatterjee-directorial-in-bengali-web-series-bhog-31731311651968.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=12 November 2024 |access-date=2025-04-16 |website=Hindustantimes Bangla |language=bn}}</ref>

==Reception==
Poorna Banerjee of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the series 3.5/5 stars and wrote "True to his signature style, Parambrata Chattopadhyay delivers another gripping horror web series. Though the series occasionally falters in pacing, Bhog remains a well-crafted horror drama with strong performances and atmospheric storytelling."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Banerjee |first1=Poorna |title=Bhog Season 1 Review : Great performances, gripping script add up to deliver shivers |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/bengali/bhog/season-1/seasonreview/120829521.cms |access-date=14 June 2025 |work=[[Times of India]] |date=3 May 2025}}</ref>

Santanu Das of ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' rated the film 3.5/5 stars and opined "Bhog is not so much about myths or demons as it is about faith. Beneath the surface of all the terror and thrill of Bhog lies the fate of a lonely middleman existing in his own little shell. As Atin will learn by the end, the sense of an offering, if any, must arrive as an act of love.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Das |first1=Santanu |title=Bhog review: Anirban Bhattacharya shines in eerie and unsettling mythical horror |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/web-series/bhog-review-anirban-bhattacharya-shines-in-eerie-and-unsettling-mythical-horror-101746164163393.html |access-date=14 June 2025 |work=[[Hindustan Times]] |date=2 May 2025}}</ref>

Shanku Sharma of ''East India Story'' reviewed the film and wrote "Bhog is a cautionary tale. It warns of the dangers of surrendering reason at the altar of mystery, of meddling with forces we don’t fully understand. It’s a deeply atmospheric, intelligent thriller that lingers long after the credits roll. The horror here is not of ghosts, but of psychological possession—of losing one’s grip on reality in the name of faith."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gupta |first=Somashis |date=2025-04-14 |title=Bhog : A Supernatural Thriller By Parambrata Chattopadhyay |url=https://eastindiastory.com/bhog-a-supernatural-thriller-by-parambrata-chattopadhyay/ |access-date=2025-04-16 |website=East India Story |language=en-US}}</ref>

Shruti Mishra of ''[[Anandabazar Patrika]]'' rated the film 7/10 stars and highlighted "Parambrata presented his ''bhog'' with apt storytelling in a short span of time. Despite the good acting, terrific makeup and bad vfx has drowned the most important scenes. Besides, what's the use of horror as a genre if the audience don't get scared?"<ref>{{cite news |last1=Misra |first1=Shruti |title=দেবীর কোপ, পিশাচিনীর বিভীষিকা! চেনা গল্পে কেমন ‘ভোগ’ পরিবেশন করলেন পরমব্রত? |url=https://www.anandabazar.com/entertainment/web-series-review-of-parambrata-chattopadhyays-bhog-starring-anirban-bhattacharya-and-parno-mitra-dgtl/cid/1599512#goog_rewarded |access-date=14 June 2025 |date=1 May 2025 |language=bn}}</ref>
