Baramulla Movie Review: Manav Kaul Re-Opens The Kashmir Files

Manav Kaul’s Baramulla reveals the haunting reality of Kashmir, where the truth of Kashmiri Pandits lingers more deeply than ghosts.

Cast and Crew

What Works

Manav Kaul delivers a raw, powerful performance, especially shining in a climax that breaks the heart rather than relying on scares.

What Doesn’t Work

The film’s slow start may challenge viewers’ patience, and the lack of focus on Manav Kaul’s expressive eyes is a missed opportunity.

Film Overview

Typically, the word "Kashmir" evokes two contrasting images: snow-capped mountains that grace postcards, and scenes marred by violence and bloodshed. Director Aditya Suhas Jambhale chooses to explore a different Kashmir — one that is both terrifying and fearful.

Baramulla represents a Kashmir that continues to haunt us, blending diverse elements into a story that’s hard to categorize. It teeters between a supernatural thriller and a politically charged narrative but ends up simply breaking your heart.

Final Thoughts

Baramulla treats Kashmir’s wounds with solemn respect and offers a cinematic experience centered on pain and remembrance rather than typical thrills.

Author’s summary: Manav Kaul’s Baramulla powerfully revisits Kashmir’s painful history, blending haunting drama with emotional depth, delivering a heartbreaking cinematic tribute.
