Mammootty, one of the biggest stars in Malayalam cinema, has faced a tough year in 2025. After delivering hit films in 2024, things took a downturn with Dominic, Ladies’ Purse, and Bazooka, which failed to impress at the box office. Bazooka, in particular, turned out to be a major disappointment. Despite high hopes, the film couldn’t connect with the audience and ended up being a box office bomb.
The film tells the story of a series of robberies, followed by a mysterious riddle that the police must solve. But what makes the story even more intriguing is that the stolen items don’t have much value. The mystery lies in figuring out the reason behind their theft. Now, Bazooka is gearing up for an OTT release, and it’s expected to stream on Zee5 sometime between May 26 and June 5. While the film failed to perform well in theatres, it’s hoped that the digital release might find a different audience.
In contrast, Mammootty’s fellow superstar, Mohanlal, is enjoying massive success with back-to-back blockbusters. For Mammootty, it’s clear that he needs to pick the right scripts to make a strong comeback and remind everyone of his immense talent. Only time will tell if Bazooka can redeem itself on the OTT platform.
