A cop's inquiry into child kidnappings unravels chilling secrets as supernatural events endanger his family and the peaceful town of Baramulla.
- The director, Aditya Suhas Jambhale, revealed that filming in Kashmir was extremely challenging, with crew members facing hypothermia and other difficulties due to the minus 8 degree temperatures. He even admitted that the shoot was one of the toughest in the history of Kashmir.
- Baramulla blends elements of a crime investigation, family drama, and revenge story, shifting between mystery, thriller, and emotional tones. This unique blend of genres is balanced with socially realistic elements, making it stand out from other films.
- Although Baramulla is a fictional story, it reflects the reality of tragedy and trauma, drawing inspiration from India's folklore and culture. The director aimed to explore horror that reflects human trauma and emotion, making the film a nuanced take on how people handle trauma.
- The film uses the setting of Kashmir as both a literal and metaphorical horror, touching upon several issues ravaging the valley. According to the director, the region of Baramulla represents more than just geography; it also embodies the realities of people stuck between peace and chaos.
- In a unique stylistic choice, the film uses visuals like eerie dark smoke and glowing eyes in the darkness to escalate unease. The team completed the project with limited resources in just over three weeks, a feat that is not apparent in the finished product.
