Mammootty is ready with his next release, Bazooka. Makers dropped the first trailer for the game action thriller recently and must admit, it was a pretty intriguing watch. Stylish action sequences, crisp dialogues, tight performances, and a mysterious angle sum up the promotional clip of Bazooka. Set for an April 10, 2025 release, it's the second film of Mammootty to premiere this year after Dominic and the Ladies' Purse.
Bazooka: What Does The Trailer Show?
The trailer for Bazooka starts with a voiceover introducing us to tough nut ACP Benjamin Joshua of Cochin, played by Gautham Vasudev Menon, and his team of highly-skilled officers. Alongside this, we see chilling sequences of people being hung by a rope, being beaten up in their custody, and the like. The training scenes of Joshua and others are engaging.
Enter Vinod Menon (Mammootty), a top-shot businessman, in a suave look and inside a palatial house. The voiceover describes the character as "Mr Nobody, but definitely somebody. Classy, sleek. If you ask me whether he's a troublemaker, I don't think so. Because that's too simple a word to describe him," establishing the enigma around him.
Bazooka Will Be About 'Game of Good Versus Evil'
The following frames give us an indication that the events in the Malayalam thriller will be a "game" between good and evil. A cliche you may feel but when you hear that the "ultimate goal" in this game is "salvation," you know the upcoming film will be different.

"There will be steps of Karma guiding you to salvation. But, alongside lust-filled evil forces will hiss. They will push you toward final peace," is how the "game plan" is detailed. As these deep lines are spoken in the trailer, we see more of what Bazooka will offer.

Then comes the confrontation scene between Vinod and Benjamin, where the latter says, "Barking dogs seldom bite, bro!" and Vinod smartly retorts, "Try irking a barking dog, your belly will turn to jelly from all the vaccine shots!"
At the fag end of the clip, lasting 2:32 minutes, we get a whiff that neither Vinod nor Benjamin is the villain here. They rather team up to bring down the "daredevil antagonist" aka a serial killer, which is most probably being portrayed by Babu Antony. And, for this mission, the duo craftily uses a series of complicated games.
The trailer, upon its release, set social media on fire, and rightfully so. At the time of writing, it garnered over 30 lakh views. What's more interesting is that it arrived around the time of the theatrical release of Mohanlal's L2: Empuraan. The two mega stars have often been pitted against each other by the media and their fans and followers love this phenomenon, making products of their cinematic rivalry a treat to watch on celluloid.
While L2: Empuraan is already out in cinema halls, Bazooka will premiere on April 10, 2025.
