Reports: Mammootty's ‘Bazooka' and ‘Dominic and the Ladies' Purse' finally set for OTT release: READ MORE
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.'
