Our take
Baramulla is a dark thriller about a police inquiry into child kidnappings that slides into supernatural dread for the officer's own family. Guns, threats, strong language, and sustained fear around missing kids sit at the centre. Religious hate talk and haunting child imagery raise the chill beyond a standard police case. We land at 16 and up because child peril and creepy atmosphere stay intense for most of the film
Uplifting themes
Protecting family and refusing to abandon the search still matter when the town turns strange. Care shows up under the fear The officer keeps pushing for answers even as home life frays. Allies who try to shield kids offer brief steady ground
Story (may spoil tone)
A cop's inquiry into child kidnappings unravels chilling secrets as supernatural events endanger his family and the peaceful town of Baramulla.

Talk after watching
- The investigation puts the officer's family in the path of the same fear the town feels. How do you talk about danger without scaring younger kids more?
- Hate speech and kidnapping fear mix with ghostly events. What feels like real-world threat here, and what is movie dread?
