Baramulla Trailer: Manav Kaul Turns No-Nonsense Officer In Supernatural Thriller About Missing Kids

The gritty trailer for the new Netflix thriller sees DSP Ridwaan Shafi Sayyid investigating a terrifying mystery of missing children that soon turns into a haunting family nightmare.

October 30, 2025: Netflix has released the gripping trailer for its highly anticipated supernatural thriller, ‘Baramulla,’ a film set to deliver shocks and chills with a story rooted in the shadowed, mist-covered valleys of Kashmir.

The official synopsis introduces an unnerving mystery: a young boy vanishes during a magic show in Baramulla, and nothing is ever the same again. The film, which promises an exploration of fear that is both external and psychological, is directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale, known for his work on Article 370.

The Plot: A Mystery That Becomes Personal

The story follows DSP Ridwaan Shafi Sayyid (played by Manav Kaul), a no-nonsense officer haunted by his past, who is called to Baramulla to investigate a series of child disappearances. While navigating a case entangled in the valley’s socio-political unrest and long-buried secrets, Ridwaan relocates with his wife, Gulnaar (Bhasha Sumbli), and their children, Noorie (Arista Mehta) and Ayaan (Rohaan Singh).

As the family settles in, strange occurrences begin to unfold at their home. Gulnaar senses an eerie presence—from smelling a non-existent dog to hearing creaky footsteps in the middle of the night—a presence the children can feel too. While DSP Ridwaan initially dismisses their fears, the investigation forces him to confront a darkness that runs deeper than reason and a haunting that refuses to stay hidden.

Director and Lead Actor on the Film

Director Aditya Suhas Jambhale elaborated on the film’s intent: “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.”

Leading actor Manav Kaul, a Kashmiri from Baramulla himself, described his deep connection to the project. “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,” Kaul said. “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.”

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.

‘Baramulla’ is set to premiere globally on Netflix on November 7.
