Not one but two Mammootty-starrers set to arrive on OTT: Where to watch these Malayalam films, 'Bazooka' & 'Dominic And The Ladie's Purse'?
After several months filled with eager waiting and widespread rumors, two much-anticipated Mammootty-led films—Bazooka and Dominic and the Ladies' Purse—are finally on the verge of making their way to digital platforms. As per a report published by Sakshi Post, both movies are now preparing for their long-delayed online debuts. This is particularly notable because neither of the films managed to secure a digital release previously, largely due to underwhelming box office performances during their theatrical runs. Digital Release Update on Bazooka The action-packed film Bazooka, directed by first-time filmmaker Deeno Dennis, is reportedly set to premiere on ZEE5. Although the exact release date hasn't been disclosed yet, industry insiders suggest that the final stages of the deal for digital distribution are currently underway. The film centers around Aryan Achary, portrayed by Mammootty, a rich and powerful businessman who collaborates with a law enforcement officer in an effort to hunt down a possible serial killer. Through a series of clever and calculated moves, the story unfolds like a strategic battle of wits. However, the plot soon transitions into a psychological thriller, raising serious questions about Aryan's real motives and hidden identity. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo The film features a robust ensemble cast, including actors such as Gautham Vasudev Menon, Shine Tom Chacko, Divya Pillai, Sidharth Bharathan, and Iswarya Menon.

This film, too, had faced a delay in its digital rollout despite initial expectations. The plot revolves around Dominic, a former police officer who has fallen from grace and is now working as a private investigator. He is tasked with what seems like a straightforward job — tracking down the rightful owner of a missing lady's purse. However, what begins as a basic case quickly unravels into something far more sinister. Dominic stumbles upon a tangled network involving disappearances, homicides, a mysterious stalker, and the enigmatic dancer named Nandhita. With both films seemingly close to securing official online debuts, fans of Mammootty can look forward to experiencing two distinct genres—psychological action and comedic suspense—from the comfort of their homes.

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.'

Directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, the crime saga has earned Rs 225.5 crore so far and is still going strong at the box office. Now, the reports of its digital debut have now surfaced. According to Sakshi Post, Raid 2 will be streaming on Netflix starting 27th June, 2025.

This Amit Trivedi musical is cinematographed by Sudhir K. Chaudhary and edited by Sandeep Francis. Raid 2's plot overview Set seven years after the events of the first film, Raid 2 follows Amay Patnaik as he is transferred to the fictional town of Bhoj in Rajasthan. There, he targets Manohar Dhankar, alias Dadabhai, a corrupt politician with a vast network of black money. Despite facing obstacles, including suspension and personal threats, Amay persists in his mission. The film ends in a dramatic showdown, leading to Dadabhai's surrender and hinting at future conflicts in the series. Raid 2's review The Times of India rated the film 3 out of 5, and a part of their review read, 'Raid 2 fangirls its own prequel by following a template so meticulously that it forgets to have some fun along the way. The film has some clever one-liners too that mock the sycophants and the corrupt, as it oscillates between no frills and old school dramatic storytelling. Raid 2 stays true to its theme, but it takes itself a bit too seriously.'
