Baramulla

"The film unravels in the way it tries to mix its allegorical elements with inconsistent plot-points which include terrorists-from-sarhad-paar involved with 'farming' innocents: too much obviousness takes away from the delicacy of the rest of it. Finally, it is reduced to becoming a testament to wounds which are poked at and made to fester, with the much-required healing touch just a climactic throwaway."

"Manav Kaul is magnetic, and his masterful, restrained performance is impressive. The film brilliantly finds its soul in the tragedy of the Kashmiri Pandits and their exodus of the 90s, treating their loss and exile as a deep, unhealed scar on the valley itself. Baramulla is a profound story on what it means to lose a home, an identity, and a sense of belonging—a rare triumph from Netflix India."

"Baramulla isn't a typical horror thriller — it's a meditative, slow-burning exploration of grief, displacement, and the lingering wounds of Kashmir. By its haunting finale, Baramulla proves it's not about horror but about being haunted — by silence, snow, and stories that refuse to fade. It's a brave, visually poetic film that lingers in the mind long after the credits roll."
