Netflix has released the trailer for its highly anticipated supernatural thriller Baramulla, a film that will leave audiences in shock and chills. Directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale of Article 370 fame, the film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande (Jio Studios) along with Aditya Dhar and Lokesh Dhar (B62 Studios), marking the second collaboration between Netflix and the production houses following the success of the rom-com Dhoom Dhaam. Premiering on November 7, the film stars Manav Kaul in the lead role, with Bhasha Sumbli, Arista Mehta and Rohaan Singh.
Baramulla Plot
In the mist-covered valleys of Kashmir, children begin to disappear, and DSP Ridwaan Shafi Sayyid (Manav Kaul) is called to Baramulla to investigate. A no-nonsense officer haunted by his past, Ridwaan finds himself navigating a case entangled in the valley’s socio-political unrest and long-buried secrets. As he settles in the town with his wife, Gulnaar (Bhasha Sumbli), and their children, Noorie (Arista Mehta) and Ayaan (Rohaan Singh), strange occurrences begin to unfold at home. Gulnaar senses an eerie presence — one that the children can feel too — from smelling a non-existent dog to hearing creaky footsteps in the middle of the night. While Ridwaan dismisses their fears as nonsense, each conversation draws him closer to something he cannot explain. He must confront a darkness that runs deeper than reason, and a haunting that refuses to stay hidden.

Talking about the film, Aditya Jambhale said, “With the trailer, we wanted to give audiences just a glimpse into the intriguing world of Baramulla. The story begins as a mystery thriller, but slowly pulls you into something far more emotional and psychological. It’s about fear, not just the kind that lurks in the dark, but the kind that lives within us, the fear of what the mind refuses to accept. Collaborating with Netflix, along with Jio Studios and B62 Studios, with producers Aditya Dhar, Lokesh Dhar and Jyoti Deshpande, allowed me to tell a very important story of our times, with the honesty, scale, and vision that pushes the boundaries of genre, just how the writers, Aditya Dhar, myself and Monal Thaakar had imagined on paper.”
Manav Kaul on returning to his roots
Manav Kaul, who leads the film as DSP Ridwaan Sayyid, added, “The trailer captures the mystique and stillness that defines Baramulla. It’s not loud horror, it’s the kind that creeps up on you, where silence feels heavier than sound. Aditya has built a world that feels eerily real, and I think audiences will sense that the valley itself is alive in this story. I have always felt a calling to my land, my words, my books have always expressed my love for the home that was. Being a Kashmiri from Baramulla itself, the script felt like a sign from the universe to tell the stories of the valley with honesty, sincerity, and of course all our love. With Netflix, Jio Studios, and B62 Studios coming together, this world has been brought to life with such authenticity and vision. I believe this story will stay with audiences long after the credits roll, making them question what’s real and what isn’t.”
Rooted in Kashmir`s mystique and framed within the reality of life in the valley, Baramulla is an unnerving exploration of faith, fear, and the unseen. Here, myths breathe, the past refuses to rest, and the valley itself becomes a living, watching presence.
Baramulla will be available on Netflix on November 7.
