The trailer for the investigation thriller Bouma, starring Dileesh Pothan, was released on Saturday (November 7). Written and directed by Rejin S Babu, the film will reach theatres on November 12.
The trailer begins with the narrator saying that people with six fingers are not that way due to God’s manufacturing defect, but they are chosen. Dileesh, as the investigating officer, attempts to uncover the mystery surrounding a group of missing people. Christo Xavier’s music gives the trailer an eerie tone that complements its mostly night-set visuals. Ominous sequences such as burning puppets and multiple sightings of wild boars — with Lenaa’s voiceover saying, “The sky shows these signs before wreaking havoc on the Earth” — further mystify it.
Produced by Bassam Kadhiyar, Bouma boasts a talented cast that includes Sagar Surya, Revathy Sharma, Vineeth, Aditi Balan, Lenaa, Mokksha, Vijay Babu, and Madhupal, among others.
This film marks Rejin’s directorial debut. Previously, he penned Pendulum (2023) and Soothravakyam (2025). The film has cinematography by Sharan Velayudhan and editing by Sooraj ES.
Dileesh, who is currently directingNedumkandam Miracle starring Mohanlal, was last seen in Udumbanchola Vision, which was released in October. However, the film tanked at the box office. He recently starred in Chevittorma, directed by Leo Thaddeus, which screened at the 31st Busan International Film Festival in South Korea. He was also seen in Oru Durooha Saahacharyathil, which came out earlier this year.
