Netflix's Baramulla Movie Review
Storytelling is an art that requires mastery, especially when addressing sensitive subjects. Aditya Suhas Jambhale’s film features Manav Kaul and Bhasha Sumbli. Netflix’s Baramulla presents a compelling topic but falls short of delivering it convincingly.
Film Details
- Director: Aditya Suhas Jambhale
- Cast: Manav Kaul, Bhasha Sumbli, Arista Mehta, Rohaan Singh, Masoom Mumtaz Khan, Ashwini Koul, Mir Sarvar, Vikas Shukla
Plot Overview
The story centers on a mysterious case of disappearing children alongside supernatural events. DSP Ridwaan Sayyed (Manav Kaul) is assigned to Baramulla to investigate, but soon his own family becomes caught in the mystery. The house where he stays carries its own dark history.
Setting and Visuals
One immediate strength of Baramulla is its authentic portrayal of the location. Unlike many Bollywood films, the makers avoid romanticizing the town. Instead, the snow-covered, slow-paced city is shown as it is, blending rumors and legends with reality.
Story Development
The narrative begins with a young boy vanishing during a magic show, making the magician the primary suspect. As more children go missing, the tension escalates. However, the film’s serious theme is undermined by weak storytelling.
“Shoddy storytelling massacred the film.”
Despite a strong premise, the execution lacks the depth and coherence necessary to engage fully.
Summary
Baramulla holds promise with its intriguing theme and setting but stumbles due to ineffective narrative choices, leaving viewers wanting more substance.
Author's summary: Although Baramulla explores a fascinating and sensitive story, its impact is diminished by weak storytelling and uneven execution.
