In the snowy mountains of Kashmir lies Baramulla, a small town wrapped in mystery. When DSP Ridwaan Sayyed (Manav Kaul) arrives to find out what happened to a missing boy, the town’s secrets start to come out.
Set in the peaceful surroundings of Kashmir, the story mixes ghosts and crime. The film’s beginning feels like something bad is about to happen, and it does when Shoaib Ansari, the son of a local ex-MLA (Mir Sarwar), disappears. With his family, DSP Ridwaan moves into a big house. Soon, more children go missing. The case gets harder, but it’s not just a simple kidnapping — there’s something else going on, hiding behind the scenes, revealed only at the very end.
The movie’s dark images and haunting music make the fear feel all the more real. As the story unfolds, the mystery deepens. The film keeps you curious about how everything connects, and in the final moments, it ties everything together surprisingly and effectively.
There are two main stories. One follows DSP Ridwaan as he investigates Shoaib’s disappearance, which becomes even more complicated as more kids vanish. This part feels steady and exciting. The other story reveals life at the Sayyed family’s home, where small, creepy things happen — such as a hidden closet, a howling dog, and shadowy figures seen by Noori (Arista Mehta) and Ayaan — making the home feel tense.
The film’s acting is strong. Manav Kaul shows a good mix of determination and fatherly concern. Bhasha Sumbli plays Gulnaar with strength and calmness, while Arista Mehta’s Noori portrays a girl trying to come to terms with her past. The spooky setting and eerie music make the film even more interesting. Director Aditya Suhas does a good job placing the story in a dark, tense environment that keeps viewers on edge.
As the story reaches its tense ending, the mystery is solved, and the ending leaves you moved. Overall, Baramulla mixes crime, suspense, and ghostly things in a way that keeps you hooked, even if it doesn’t scare as much as it could. The fight between what’s real and what’s paranormal makes the story feel uncertain — it makes sense at the end, but it might leave some horror fans wanting more.
You should watch Baramulla if you enjoy atmospheric mysteries with emotional depth and a slow-build reveal; however, if you’re seeking intense scares or classic horror elements, it may not fully meet your expectations.
