Netflix’s Boldest Leap Into the Supernatural Yet: Netflix India has delivered unforgettable thrillers and character-driven dramas but Baramulla is its boldest dive into the supernatural yet. Atmospheric, unpredictable, and emotionally layered, it sets a new benchmark for Indian genre storytelling.

A powerhouse of filmmakers brought Baramulla to life: The film is directed by Aditya Jambhale, who earlier gave us the gripping political thriller Article 370.

Co-produced by Jio Studios, Baramulla comes with serious creative pedigree, crafting a story that’s as emotionally charged as it is terrifying.
