This year, the titan of Malayalam cinema, Mammootty, graced the big screens with films such as “Dominic and the Ladies‘ Purse” and “Bazooka”. After a long wait, it appears these movies may finally get their due through an OTT release.
As per a report from Sakshi Post, it appears that the action-packed thriller “Bazooka” is set to debut on streaming platform ZEE5. Although a specific release date hasn’t been confirmed as of yet, it looks like ZEE5 has finalized a deal for the rights to this movie.
Initially, it was planned that the movie “Dominic and the Ladies’ Purse” would be made available on Amazon Prime Video. Unfortunately, after a mediocre performance in cinemas, there hasn’t been any recent news about its online release on streaming platforms for quite a while.
The same report indicates that ZEE5 is set to acquire the rights and will shortly debut the Gautham Vasudev Menon directorial for online streaming.
For those unfamiliar, “Bazooka” is a Malayalam-language film written and directed by newcomer Deeno Dennis. The story follows Aryan Achary, a prominent businessman, who joins forces with a police officer to capture a potential serial killer, using games as their primary tool.
The central plot elements of the film revolve around a game of cat-and-mouse, while also raising questions about Aryan’s true identity.
The primary actor was headlining the movie, joined by Gautham Vasudev Menon, Divya Pillai, Sidharth Bharathan, Iswarya Menon, and Shine Tom Chacko (in a cameo appearance). Sumith Naval, Hakkim Shah, among others, played significant roles in this production.
From my fervent perspective, instead of veering off, I find myself drawn to the captivating world of “Dominic and the Ladies’ Purse,” masterfully crafted by GVM. This intriguing narrative revolves around the transformation of a character, CI Dominic, once entrenched in corruption as a police officer, who has since reinvented himself as a private detective.
An aspiring detective, much like Sherlock Holmes, initially dismisses a seemingly straightforward case involving a lost purse as insignificant. However, he eventually takes up the investigation with his partner, only to find themselves spiraling down a complex maze of missing persons, homicides, and a dangerous stalker surrounding a renowned classical dancer.
In this revised version, the text aims to be more engaging and easier to read by using simpler sentence structures and more descriptive language. The focus remains on conveying the same information as the original paragraph.
In significant parts of the movie, you’ll find popular actors such as Gokul Suresh, Sushmitha Bhatt, Viji Venkatesh, Siddique, Vineeth, Vijay Babu, Meenakshi Unnikrishnan, and numerous others.
On the professional side of Mammootty, the renowned star will next take on the role in the crime thriller titled Kalamkaval. This film is directed by newcomer Jithin K Jose and finds Mammootty portraying the primary villain. The lead character is played by Vinayakan, who previously gained fame from his work in “Jailer”.
The movie is rumored to depict the life story of infamous serial killer Cyanide Mohan, with an expected release date of August 1, 2025.
