Bazooka

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.

The movie is actually written good but due to amateur direction and average bgm the movie was going on a medium pace till it reaches the final point. The last 30 minutes of the movie and execution was actually good. The plot twist which was unfolded during that period was a brilliant one. Overall a good experience for me. If the movie was given a bit more good editing and bgm along side a good director it would have been a great one. Mammooty and GVM did a good job while others didn't get any thing to do rather than seeing them in action. The action scenes were good but could have been made better. The investigation scenes and ideas were good in the paper but somewhere got lost in the making. Still don't miss it in the theater if you love to explore the game thriller genre.

Rating - 3.5/5

An action packed game thriller that stands out with a unique filmmaking style and glamour treatment.

The story revolves around a Special investigation team cracking the mystery of a dacoity series in Kochi executed in the form of a multilevel puzzle game and their efforts of hunting the masterbrain forms the crux of the story.

Kudos to Deeno Dennis for materialising a distinctive and unprecedented narrative genre and filmmaking style to Malayalam.👌🏻He has managed to portray the story with top-notch technicality and the styling given,mood, ambience and color tone set for the movie is simply marvellous.🔥The handful characters portrayed through the story has got immense scope for performance even in the shortest screen space. The film must be watched in a 4K Dolby Atmos theatre to get the best sound experience.

Incredible performances by Mammootty,Gautam Menon & Hakim Shajahan. Sidharth Bharathan,Dino Dennis,Bhama Arun,Divya Pillai & Joemon Jyothir gave notable performances.

Nimish Ravi has precisely picturised the vision of the director on screen. Hats off to the musician Saeed Abbas and the sound designers Sachin Sudhakaran & Hariharan for giving wholesome and groovy sounds. All credit goes to his personal stylist Abhijith for presenting Mammootty in the most stylish,swagger avatar like never before. The effort he has put in choosing the perfect accessories for the Megastar is evident on the screens. Impressive efforts by Srik Varier for the color grading for maintaining the mood of the movie deserves appreciation. Last but not the least the editor Praveen Prabhakar,Nishadh Yusuf (late) and the Production Design team and Stunt choreographers also deserves appreciation for their contribution.

A must watch films for Mammootty fans in theatres promising a novel experience.

I went to the movie seeing its high rating but was skeptical due to some calling the movie average and ending bad. But none of the case for me.

Except a small moment the movie hooked me on. The movie obviously ask your time and patience and the ending was just mind blowing. Though I wouldn't ask people to judge the movie due to the ending only.

The buildup was good. I was interested in what was happening continuously. Few things seem little weird but not a make or break for the movie at all.

The concept is mind bending and the first half just leaves you thinking. So many things happening. But soon everything starts to make sense.

It was funny to see that I personally was the character who was fooled(if you watch the movie you will see).

The action has great camera movements. Though they only take a small part of the movie.

Overall easily worth a watch.

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.
