Baramulla Movie Review: Aditya Dhar and Manav Kaul’s film portrays the pain of Kashmir through a terrifying story.
The Truth of Kashmir Through Horror
Baramulla is not just a horror film. It depicts the pain of Kashmir that has been suppressed for decades.
The film’s strength lies in its portrayal of the Kashmiri Pandit genocide through the story of a Muslim family.
When DSP Ridwan and his family are forced to relocate to Baramulla after a school incident, they discover that their new home is hiding a dark secret.
When Ghosts Become Witnesses to History
The terrifying events here are not limited to mere ghostly apparitions.
The ghosts of a Kashmiri Pandit family, who were killed during the 1990s exodus, appear before Ridwan’s family.
These ghosts don’t just come to scare, but to tell their story. And surprisingly, it is a Muslim family that helps these Hindu ghosts find justice.
A Blend of Cinematic Beauty and Terror
Cinematographer Arnold Fernandes has given the film a look that immerses the audience in both the beauty and the terror of Kashmir.
In a single shot, he takes us on a journey from the 1990s to 2016, showing that the violence has never truly ended.
The use of gray tones and minimal lighting creates an atmosphere where fear permeates the air.
More Than Just Horror, a Heart-Touching Story
Manav Kaul and Bhasha Sumbli’s acting further enhances the film. The pain and fear are clearly visible on their faces. The film’s climax will leave you shaken.
In today’s era, when horror-comedies dominate, Baramulla stands out as a powerful and thought-provoking film.
