In The Storm of 'Dhurandhar,' We Didn't Praise 'Baramulla' Enough
“The fragrance of tulips in the air makes one forget all worries and cares.” — Mohammed Peer (A Local Kashmiri Poet)
Baramulla opens by challenging that idea. The film begins with a solitary tulip drawing the attention of a child named Shoaib. It is a deceptively gentle image, one that refuses the postcard version of Kashmir that Hindi cinema has long romanticised. There is no lush comfort here, no lyrical escape. Even the panoramic view of the snow-capped Pir Panjal range looms with indifference. From its opening frames, Baramulla announces a dread that feels real and local to Kashmir.
The storyline runs along two parallel tracks: the investigation into a series of child disappearances—beginning with Shoaib—led by the “controversial” DSP Sayyed, and the unsettling paranormal experiences in his “new” official residence. Another background plot shows local terrorists planning to recruit and brainwash children for terrorism in Kashmir, using the code words fasal and kheti. It so happens that the missing children, before being picked up by terrorists, start disappearing. This convergence forms the film’s moral core. What might have played out as a routine horror-police procedural instead evolves into a layered convergence of histories, identities, and politics. The connections, when they finally surface, are not designed to shock but to settle in with the weight of recognition—of patterns long familiar but merely rearranged.
I am not approaching Baramulla as a film critic tallying pros and cons. I watched it as someone who has long tried, and often failed, to understand Kashmir’s violent past, its complicated present, and its seemingly gloomy future. What stayed with me was not the cinematic technicalities, but the film’s dense network of undeciphered metaphors—symbols that scream messages yet to be heard and meanings still not understood.
Take the tulip. Across cultures, it has stood for love, resistance, revolution, and even forgiveness. In new Kashmir, it represents the thriving “tourism”—a seasonal spectacle meant to signal normalcy. Baramulla challenges this symbolism through the White Tulip.
The film refrains from spelling out its meaning, allowing the symbol to evolve as the narrative unfolds. At first, it becomes a quiet indictment of how “tourism”—built around the beautiful tulip gardens of Kashmir—functions as a cosmetic narrative, a hoax that hides the innocent blood beneath Kashmir’s “heavenly” whiteness. This flower does not invite; it forewarns. It appears on the cusp of each child’s disappearance, registering less as an image than as a premonition. As Baramulla progresses, the image gathers additional weight, revealing meanings that extend beyond spectacle and into inheritance, erasure, complicity, and betrayal—threads the film continues to unravel with unsettling patience.
