A user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “#Bazooka will go down in history as the worst ever Mammukka movie post-COVID, and easily one of his worst performances ever. WTF was that climax shitshow, Naduviral namaskaram to all those self-proclaimed ‘insiders’..”
Another user wrote, “Makers shouldn’t just entirely depend on the final act/tail end or whatever they call it to decide the fate of the movie! If you do that, also please make sure the whole movie is intriguing to watch! Just saying! #Bazooka”
Produced by Yoodlee Films and Theatre of Dreams, the film stars Gautham Vasudev Menon, Babu Antony Neeta Pillai and Gayathiri Iyer in pivotal roles. In the film, Mammotty plays the role of Antony John, an ethical hacker and businessman, while Gautham plays ACP Benjamin Joshua IPS, Kochi City.
