Directorial Debut and Critical Reception

Bazooka marks the debut of director and screenplay writer Deeno Davis, who credits Mammootty’s encouragement as a major driving force behind the project. Although some fans praise Davis for delivering a decent first film, others argue that his raw direction has muddled the storyline, leading to mixed reactions from critics. One reviewer noted, “The plot is predictable and lacks emotional depth, with clichéd dialogues and underdeveloped characters. The film’s pacing suffers in the second half, and the twists are too obvious,” while another commented on the film’s thrilling aspects, stating it “kept me hooked from start to finish.”

Storyline and Star-Studded Cast
Bazooka revolves around an unlikely partnership between a police officer and a businessman as they chase a serial killer who draws inspiration from video games. Mammootty leads the cast as the main hero, with notable performances from Gautham Vasudev Menon, Babu Antony, Neeta Pillai, Gayathri Iyer, and Divya Pillai. The supporting ensemble features Jagadish, Sidharth Bharathan, Iswarya Menon, and Shine Tom Chacko.
