Netflix has dropped the gripping trailer of its upcoming supernatural thriller, Baramulla, directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale, who previously helmed Article 370. The film promises an atmospheric blend of horror, psychological tension, and crime mystery, all set against the hauntingly beautiful yet turbulent landscape of Kashmir. With its spine-chilling visuals and layered storytelling, the trailer hints at a cinematic experience that is both eerie and emotionally immersive.
A Dark Tale Set in the Misty Valleys of Kashmir
Baramulla opens with a series of chilling disappearances — children vanishing without a trace in the fog-covered town. To investigate, Manav Kaul steps into the role of DSP Ridwaan Shafi Sayyid, a determined officer haunted by his own past. His arrival in Baramulla uncovers a maze of local superstitions, hidden traumas, and political unrest, making the case far more sinister than it first appears. Each clue he finds seems to pull him deeper into the valley’s buried secrets, where truth and terror coexist in equal measure.
A Family on the Edge of Fear
Ridwaan relocates to Baramulla with his wife Gulnaar (played by Bhasha Sumbli) and their children, Noorie (Arista Mehta) and Ayaan (Rohaan Singh). What begins as a fresh start soon spirals into terror when their new home becomes a hub of unexplainable events. From eerie whispers in empty corridors to phantom footsteps and the smell of a dog that doesn’t exist — Gulnaar begins sensing an ominous presence that tightens its grip on the family. The unsettling atmosphere of their home mirrors the psychological unraveling of each family member as fear takes hold.
Between Reality and the Supernatural
As Ridwaan dives deeper into the town’s dark secrets, Baramulla blurs the line between reality and hallucination. The narrative teases a psychological descent where logic collapses and faith, folklore, and trauma intertwine. Every revelation only leads to another mystery — one that threatens to consume the family and the valley itself. The film’s haunting cinematography and chilling background score further heighten the tension, creating an immersive world of mystery and dread.
A Promising Blend of Suspense and Emotion
With Manav Kaul’s intense screen presence and Jambhale’s knack for creating politically charged yet emotional narratives, Baramulla looks set to deliver both scares and depth. The trailer hints at a thriller that’s not just about the supernatural, but about the ghosts of memory, loss, and survival that linger long after the credits roll. As Netflix continues to invest in powerful Indian originals, Baramulla could stand out as one of its most atmospheric and thought-provoking offerings yet.
