Mammootty’s high-octane Malayalam thriller Bazooka continues to make its presence felt at the box office, collecting a solid Rs 25.45 crore globally by the end of Day 12.
Good performance despite mixed reviewsDespite receiving mixed reviews from critics and audiences, the film has maintained a steady run due to Mammootty’s star power and the curiosity surrounding its intriguing game thriller-style plot.
Decent day wise performanceAccording to Sacnilk, Bazooka has grossed Rs 13.38 crore in India (net), with a gross domestic figure standing at ₹15.45 crore. Overseas markets have contributed Rs 10 crore.
The day-wise box office numbers reflect a gradual dip in collections as the film moved into its second week. Day 12 saw earnings of Rs 26 lakhs, while Day 11 and Day 10 brought in Rs 48 lakhs and Rs 29 lakhs, respectively.
The first weekend saw stronger figures, with Day 1 starting off at Rs 2.1 crore, followed by Rs 2 crore on Day 2 and Rs 1.7 crore on Day 3.
Audience responsesDirected 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!.”
