Bazooka

First Of All Overall Movie Is Great. A Weak First Half Followed By A Good Second Half. And TheLast 20 Min Of The Movie Is Also Great. The One Thing That Made Me Feel This Movie Is Weak Was The Direction. The Subject Was Good. But The Something Is Missing In The Direction. Like The Grippness Of The Story Is Too Low And Felt Lag. The Music Was Great. And Mahn There Is Sequence: Title Card That Was A Fanboy Sambhavam. And It's A Mammooka Show!!. Through Out The Movie Mammookka Jzt Did Excellent. Other Cast Like GVM Was Good And Etc... Watch Out In Theatres For Better Experience. Dont Expect Tooo Much Cause It Will Definetely Disappoint You.

Director Deeno Dennis made a bold attempt with this film, but unfortunately, the execution doesn't live up to expectations. The decision to take on this project feels like a miscalculation, as the film struggles to maintain the intrigue it builds in the initial moments.

The first 15 minutes are undoubtedly the highlight. With a gripping setup and an air of suspense, it genuinely feels like something major is about to unfold. The atmosphere draws you in, and for a brief period, it promises a thrilling cinematic experience. However, that promise is short-lived.

What follows is a disappointingly flat narrative that never quite takes off. The story meanders without purpose, lacking both tension and emotional depth. Key plot points are either predictable or underdeveloped, and the screenplay fails to offer any surprises that could keep the audience invested. Instead of building toward something impactful, the film loses steam, relying heavily on stretched-out scenes and unnecessary subplots.

Casting choices further weaken the film. The performances are mostly uninspired, with little chemistry among the lead actors. It feels as though the cast was misfit for their roles-none manage to leave a lasting impression or bring life to their characters. As a result, emotional moments fall flat, and even the most dramatic scenes lack weight.

Visually, the film has its moments, and the technical aspects-such as cinematography and sound design-are competent, but they're not enough to compensate for the lackluster storytelling. One can't help but feel that with a better script and tighter direction, this could have been a much stronger film.

In the end, this movie feels like a missed opportunity. What begins as a potentially thrilling ride fizzles out into a forgettable and uninspired experience. It's a film that had the foundation to be great but faltered due to poor narrative choices and weak performances.

This film turned out to be an excellent choice for a movie to take my Mom out to. We both love laughing together and usually watch comedy movies at home. We were expecting some slick action with John-Wick-esque sequences based on the image they used to promote the film.

What we got instead was a heart-warming moment together -- that point in a movie where you both realise it is beyond hope of making a decent case for itself and so you just look at each other and start laughing.

This movie is truly bad in every way it thinks itself good. Dialogue, cinematography, music, anything and everything you can think of.

And about 75% of it is in slow motion.

Director Denno Dennis set the thriller mode through a gaming pattern. No serial killing as we see in a thriller movie but it has all the elements of what a thriller movie requires.

The story begins with the Retired Forensic Expert John Caesar who is on his way to Bangalore. During the travel, he meets Sunny a gamer & some strange things happens during the trip which raises the curiosity of Sunny towards John & then John explains as who he is.

The 1st half , the movie takes through the the robbery happening in different places of Kochin, & how the robber by the mode of various games executes it. Whereas the 2nd half focuses on the cat & mouse game thereby giving surprises during its climax period.

Coming to the screen play, it is able to keep the thrilling mode till the end but it has its own flaws which at a particular point we ask ourselves as " Why all this brain storming was required when it's in right front of you" & some unsolved queries during the end of the movie. More detailing will lead to "SPOILERS".

Also back in 2012 , when " Grand Master" movie starring Mohanlal released, a serial killer giving details to Chandrashekar in the form of letters giving clue of his next murder & later on dropping alphabet book near the victim & thereby unlocking the mystery, a similar approach had been conceived here but as mentioned earlier, Denno had able to keep the thriller mode till the end.

BGM of Saeed Abbas, cinematography of Nimish Ravi & Roby Varghese Raj had able to overshadowed the screenplay flaws.

Coming over to the performance, it is a one-man show of Mega Star Mammooka. His swag, his presence & the last 15-20 min of his madness had accelerated the movie.

Hakim Shah also gave a decent performance. Gautham Vasudev Menon is not a perfect casting as ACP Benjamin Joshua as he fails to lift up the emotion of the character.

Overall, with the presence of Mammooka backed with quality technical support, Denno Dennis threw a decent thriller film.

All because of a stupid screenplay, writing and direction.. I hope gamers in Kochi wont take offence of this movie that attempts to portray the whole gamers are crackheads and pot smokers.

Mammooty's character undergoes phenomenal transformation with the climax and you will have to either love it or hate it. There is no middle grounf. In my case I only hate the director and attribute the whole disaster to his dimwit movie making process. Avoid this movie at all costs, such an appalling last 10 mins, made the inevitable disaster underlined.

The director must also be immediately sent to a direction for dummies course work otherwise he will continue to make oscar worthy scrapstick of a movie.
