Nestled deep within a beautiful valley of Kashmir lies the snow-covered, slow-paced city of Baramulla, where rumors and legends intertwine with reality. When a young boy mysteriously disappears, it sets off a chain of events that unravel unsettling truths and shake the town to its core. 

Into this charged atmosphere enters DSP Ridwaan Sayyed, a recently- transferred Kashmiri police officer investigating a case of missing children. As his family and he move into a derelict house in town, he feels the weight of his past pressing down on him. Little does he know that his pursuit for the truth will become both a personal reckoning and a journey through secrets — where the real and supernatural collide, threatening the fragile peace within his family and the sensitive town.

A one-of-a-kind blend of genres, the Netflix film is an amalgamation of the supernatural, mystery and drama, promising an edge-of-the-seat experience. Manav Kaul plays DSP Ridwaan Sayyad. The film also stars Bhasha Sumbli as Gulnaar, and premieres on Netflix on November 7. 

Directed and written by Aditya Suhas Jambhale, the acclaimed filmmaker behind Article 370, with story by Aditya Dhar and co-produced by him with Lokesh Dhar of B62 studios, Baramulla marks a powerful collaboration between two distinct cinematic voices. This is the second partnership between Netflix and B62 Studios, following the success of the rom-com Dhoom Dhaam, together with Jyoti Deshpande of Jio Studios.

Director Aditya Suhas Jambhale says, “With a genre-bending film like Baramulla, we wanted to tell a story rooted in emotion but elevated by tension and the supernatural. Kashmir is not just the setting; it’s a living, breathing character that shapes every moment and every mystery. We hope the audience across the world feels the pulse of the valley and the humanity at the heart of this journey.”

Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, Director, Original Films, Netflix India, shared, “We are drawn to stories that push boundaries—narratives that surprise, challenge, and leave a lasting impression on audiences. Baramullastands firmly in that space, a one-of-its-kind supernatural thriller that’s as emotionally grounded as it is suspenseful. At its heart, it is a film about people: their choices, their fears, and the lengths they go to protect those they hold dear. Director Aditya Suhas Jambhale, along with our creative partners Aditya and Lokesh Dhar at B62 Studios and Jio Studios, have crafted a cinematic experience that feels bold, fresh, and unmistakably Netflix, bringing a distinctly Indian story to viewers around the world.”

Producer Jyoti Deshpande, President, Jio Studios (Media and Content Business, RIL) said, “At Jio Studios, we’ve always been drawn to stories that challenge the norm and break the mold, and Baramulla does exactly that. After the remarkable success of Article 370, our collaboration with B62 Studios and director Aditya Suhas Jambhale continues to evolve. Collaborating once again with B62 Studios and Netflix after Dhoom Dhaam, we are excited to deliver a cinematic experience that’s fresh, unpredictable and powerfully told.”

Producers Aditya Dhar and Lokesh Dhar added, “After Dhoom Dhaam, reuniting with Netflix and Jio Studios felt like a natural next step. We are also reuniting with Aditya Suhas Jambhale after he directed Article 370. This film ventures into a genre space rarely explored in Indian cinema, where drama meets supernatural mystery. It’s thrilling, emotional and unconventional. As producers, we have always been drawn to stories that defy the rules of mainstream storytelling, and Baramulla does exactly that. It’s a film that challenges, surprises and stays with you long after it ends, and we can’t wait for audiences to experience it.”
