Chennai, Jul 19: The makers of director Kiran Das' upcoming Malayalam investigative horror thriller 'Unmadham', starring Kunchacko Boban and Lijomol Jose, have unveiled the film's official trailer, offering audiences a gripping glimpse into a mystery wrapped in supernatural suspense.
Sharing the trailer on its social media platforms, T-Series Films wrote: "Every buried truth has a way of finding its voice. Presenting the official trailer of #Unmadham. In cinemas on July 31, 2026."
The trailer introduces Kunchacko Boban as a police officer who develops an interest in a mysterious Section 174 case registered at the Kongad police station. When he asks his senior officer about the file, he is told to retrieve it himself. However, Boban points out that no one at the station is willing to even touch the case records because of the fear surrounding it.
As the conversation unfolds, the visuals shift to a series of eerie incidents and unsettling moments, hinting at a mystery that has haunted investigators for years. Boban's superior remarks that while every investigation revolves around the questions of who, when, where, how and why, none of the answers in this particular case had initially raised suspicion.
The trailer later features Lijomol Jose questioning Boban about his decision to reopen the investigation despite earlier warnings that anyone who probed too deeply into the case had suffered serious consequences. Their exchange also reveals that the incident occurred six years earlier, making it difficult to uncover concrete evidence.
As Boban proceeds with the investigation, he is warned that accessing the controversial case file could jeopardise his career if senior officials discover his actions.
The trailer then builds tension with a series of frightening supernatural events, including moments where the protagonist narrowly escapes death. While junior police personnel become convinced that paranormal forces are linked to the case, senior officers dismiss such claims as mere superstition. The case is widely believed to be cursed, and Boban is repeatedly cautioned against pursuing it.
The mystery deepens during Panchami night, when a string of unexplained incidents forces the investigating officer to confront terrifying possibilities, setting the stage for the film's central conflict.
Blending elements of crime investigation with psychological horror and supernatural suspense, 'Unmadham' promises an engaging cinematic experience filled with mystery, thrills and chilling moments.
The film is produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak, with Ram Mirchandani and Rajesh Menon serving as co-producers. It features music by Mujeeb Majeed and cinematography by Arjun Sethu. 'Unmadham' is scheduled for a theatrical release on July 31, 2026.
