The trailer of Dileesh Pothan-starrer investigative thriller Bouma was released on Saturday (November 7). Written and directed by Rejin S Babu, the film will hit theaters on November 12.

The trailer begins with the narrator saying that people with six fingers are not like that because of God’s manufacturing defect, but they are the chosen ones. As an investigating officer, Dileesh tries to unravel the mystery surrounding a group of missing people. Christo Xavier’s score gives the trailer an eerie tone that complements its mostly nighttime setting. Ominous sequences such as burning puppets and multiple wild boar sightings – with Lena’s voice saying, “Heaven shows these signs before they wreak havoc on Earth” – further mystify this.

Produced by Bassam Kadhiyar, Bouma boasts of 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. He previously wrote Pendulum (2023) and Soothravakyam (2025). The film has cinematography by Sharan Velayudhan and editing by Sooraj ES.

Dileesh, who is currently directing Mohanlal-starrer Nedumkandam Miracle, was last seen in Udumbanchola Vision, which released in October. However, the film tanked at the box office. He recently starred in Chevittorm, 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 released earlier this year.
