Bazooka 2025 Movie Review
Set in Kochi, the story revolves around ACP Benjamin Joshua and his team tackling a series of audacious robberies, each preceded by cryptic clues tied to gaming culture (e.g., references to Super Mario and Temple Run). The mastermind, dubbed “Mr. Mario,” toys with the police, prompting Joshua to enlist John Caesar, whose expertise unravels the criminal’s motives. Much of the narrative unfolds through Caesar’s conversations with Sunny Varghese (Hakkim Shah), a gamer, during a bus journey from Kochi to Bengaluru. The film explores themes of intellect versus deception, modern crime in a digital age, and personal vendettas, but critics note it prioritizes style over emotional depth. The gaming angle, while novel, often feels superficial, leaning on familiar thriller tropes.
Hakkim Shah as Sunny Varghese irritates some with his repetitive “bro” dialogue but adds youthful energy as the gamer foil to Mammootty. Supporting actors like Shine Tom Chacko, Divya Pillai, and Siddharth Bharathan are competent but underdeveloped, with roles that feel incidental.
Mammootty as John Caesar delivers a commanding performance, blending understated coolness with bursts of intensity, particularly in the final act. Critics praise his dapper look and ability to carry the film, though some argue the script underuses his range, reducing him to a fan-service vehicle with slow-motion hero shots. His climactic scenes are a highlight, earning cheers for their energy.
Gautham Vasudev Menon as ACP Joshua is a polarizing presence. His stiff Malayalam delivery and wooden expressions draw criticism, with reviewers questioning his casting despite his English lines adding polish. Some fans, however, appreciate his earnest attempt in a new industry.
