His next movie, Turbo, also performed well at the box office. But things took a turn in 2025. Mammootty faced failure with Dominic and the Ladies’ Purse and Bazooka. Now, Bazooka is set to make its digital premiere after its theatrical release on April 10, 2025. Read on to know more about its expected Ott release update.

Bazooka Plot

Movies based on a gaming premise are nothing new for cinema enthusiasts. In the cult favorite “Ready Player One,” the Chinese blockbuster drama “Love O2O,” “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” “Wreck-It Ralph,” or “Free Guy,” world-building acts as the strongest fulcrum, elevating the immersive quality of the movies. The 2025 Malayalam language thriller “Bazooka,” written and directed by debutant Deeno Dennis, is one such genre-bending film that merges multiple genres, including action, gaming, heist, and thriller. But does the film pass with flying colors? Or does the execution make the idea on paper look foolish and unbearably tiresome? Let’s find out.

“Bazooka,” as intriguing as the name sounds, has an equally intriguing premise. It follows a serial robber, a monomaniac gamer, who commits multiple challenging robberies in the city and comes out unscathed, proving to be a menace to the city police.

Officer on Duty is running successfully in theaters across Kerala. Like other recent successful Malayalam films, it has also received a dubbed theatrical release in other languages. The Telugu and Tamil versions will be released in theaters tomorrow, March 14, 2025 (Friday), and bookings are already open.

However, there is a problem, multiplexes are refusing to screen the film. The reason is that the original Malayalam version was released on February 20, 2025, so an Ott release might be imminent. According to 123Telugu, multiplexes are unwilling to accept the film for exhibition. It remains to be seen whether this issue can be resolved.

One thing to note is that multiplexes are still exhibiting the original Malayalam version in Chennai and Mumbai. The film stars Kunchacko Boban as Harishankar, a police officer who has recently been demoted to the rank of Circle Inspector after some altercations with his superiors.
