Reports: Mammootty's ‘Bazooka' and ‘Dominic and the Ladies' Purse' finally set for OTT release: READ MORE
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) After months of anticipation and speculation, Mammootty starrers — 'Bazooka' and 'Dominic and the Ladies' Purse' — are reportedly gearing up for their much-delayed OTT releases. According to a report by Sakshi Post, both films are likely to stream soon on OTT. This holds significance as both the films had not made it's OTT release after getting lukewarm response in theatres. Bazooka's OTT release The action thriller 'Bazooka', helmed by debutant Deeno Dennis, is said to have finally landed an OTT deal with ZEE5. Although an official streaming date hasn't been announced yet, the platform is reportedly in the final stages of closing the agreement for digital rights. The film follows Aryan Achary (played by Mammootty), a wealthy businessman who allies with a police officer to capture a potential psychopath through a series of strategic mind games. But the narrative soon shifts into a gripping psychological thriller as doubts arise about Aryan's true identity. Bazooka - Official Teaser The movie boasts a compelling supporting cast that includes Gautham Vasudev Menon, Shine Tom Chacko, Divya Pillai, Sidharth Bharathan, and Iswarya Menon. Despite strong performances and a unique premise, the film's OTT release had been hanging in the balance for several months. Dominic and the Ladies' Purse' OTT release Initially expected to release on Amazon Prime Video, 'Dominic and the Ladies' Purse' — a mystery comedy thriller directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon — is also believed to have found a new digital home on ZEE5. The film received a mixed reception during its theatrical run and had no concrete OTT update until now. ETimes gave the film a rating of 3 stars out of 5 and our official review read, 'The exciting climax makes up for any lethargy one may feel at any point in the film. That said, there are also plot points like the identity of an individual -who do they identify as ? There is no judgement which is fair and hopefully, it is looked at through the same lens by the larger public rather than being used as a tool to discriminate. Darbuka Siva's music is fresh and interesting. Vijay Yesudas sang a very peppy track in it with ThirumaLi joining him with Sathyaprakash and Pavithra Chari.'

In 2-hour 20-minute romantic movie, no hero survives, heroine's revenge will shock you, IMDb rating is 7.6, earns twice its budget; Movie is…, actors are…
Some love stories are grand, others are unforgettable, and then there's this film that we are talking about, which didn't just tell a tale of love, it burned it into the memory of an entire generation. The film, that released in an era which was filled with feel-good rom-coms, this film went the other way — raw, intense, and painful. It introduced Bollywood to a kind of heartbreak where love isn't rewarded, but sacrificed. The hero loves with reckless abandon, fights against fate, and in the end? He's left with nothing but a broken soul. Raanjhanaa wasn't just a film; it was emotional devastation on screen. Raanjhanaa – Plot Starring Dhanush in his Bollywood debut alongside Sonam Kapoor and Abhay Deol, the film revolved around Kundan and Zoya, childhood sweethearts torn apart by caste, time, and choices. While Zoya finds love in someone else during college, Kundan never moves on. What follows is a chain of irreversible events: a tragic twist, an unexpected death, and a climax that still leaves viewers haunted. Directed by Anand L. Rai, the film's visuals were as poetic as its pain, set against the chaotic yet soulful backdrop of Banaras. The dialogues? People still quote them like scripture. The music? Timeless. A.R. Rahman's soundtrack pierced deeper than any love letter could. Raanjhanaa's earned twice its budget Despite its heavy heart, Raanjhanaa was a box office success — made on a modest Rs 50 crore budget, it raked in over Rs 105 crore, proving that audiences weren't just ready for tragic love stories — they craved them. With an IMDb rating of 7.6, Raanjhanaa still holds its charm over a decade later. Raanjhanaa still ruling on OTT Today, even after years, Raanjhanaa finds new fans on OTT platforms like ZEE5 and Amazon Prime Video. It's the kind of film that doesn't age — because heartbreak never goes out of style. So, if you're looking to revisit a 2 hours and 20 minutes love story that hits like a punch to the gut, Raanjhanaa is waiting — and it still hurts just as beautifully.
