Audience responses
Directed by Deeno Dennis, Bazooka features Mammootty in a gritty, action-packed role. The ensemble cast includes Gautham Vasudev Menon, Shine Tom Chacko, Anoop Menon, Divya Pillai, Sidharth Bharathan, Ishwarya Menon, and Sumit Naval. The film’s stylish visuals, layered storytelling, and intense performances have been praised, even as the screenplay has drawn mixed reactions. One netizen’s review reads, “#Bazooka’s first half was engaging from start to finish, . The interval scene stood out, particularly with Ikka’s impressive intro and title card Waiting for the 2nd half!.” Another Twitter review reads, ““Style over substance so far. DOP, background score, and Ikka’s title card stand out, but the rest – including the screenplay feels mid and lacks impact. Interval doesn’t hit hard. Second half will decide the verdict -needs to be strong!.”
