Mammootty is back on the big screen with his highly anticipated action-thriller Bazooka, and the film has already started making waves at the box office even before its release. The advance booking numbers are in, and they’ve surpassed the collections of his previous film Dominic & The Ladies’ Purse, showing strong early signs for Bazooka.
Mammootty’s Previous Film – A Quick Look
Mammootty’s last film, Dominic & The Ladies’ Purse, released in February 2025. It had a modest run at the box office, collecting ₹9.29 crore in India and ₹19.96 crore worldwide. However, its advance booking wasn’t impressive. For opening day, it recorded just ₹70 lakh gross in advance ticket sales at the Indian box office. In terms of tickets sold via BookMyShow (BMS), it had around 19,000 pre-bookings.
Bazooka Advance Booking Report – Day 1
Bazooka, directed by Deeno Dennis, is showing much better promise in terms of pre-release buzz. As of 12 PM IST on April 9, the film has already collected ₹95 lakh gross from advance bookings for its opening day, not including blocked seats. That’s a clear jump from Mammootty’s last outing and a strong signal of audience interest.
Across India, Bazooka is set to be screened in around 1,050 shows on day one, with over 56,000 tickets already sold in advance. In Kerala alone, the film has grossed ₹89 lakh from pre-bookings, showing Mammootty’s strong fan base in the region.
Breaking Records on BookMyShow
On BookMyShow, Bazooka is racing ahead of all other Mollywood releases in 2025. It has already outperformed Dominic & The Ladies’ Purse’s final pre-sale total of 19K tickets. In fact, with two days of advance booking tracked on BMS, Bazooka has reached a total of 27,000 tickets sold — 11.1K on day one and 15.8K on day two.
The film is now closing in on the pre-sale record held by Ajayante Randam Moshanam, which had clocked 36,000 tickets in advance sales. If this pace continues, Bazooka might become the top advance booking performer for a Mollywood film this year.
What Makes Bazooka Special?
While the plot of Bazooka is still under wraps, Mammootty plays an intriguing and mysterious character that has caught the attention of fans and film lovers alike. The film also stars popular director-actor Gautham Vasudev Menon and Hakkim Shah in key roles. With such a strong cast and positive buzz, the stage is set for a powerful opening.
Final Word
With its solid advance booking numbers, Bazooka is poised to make a big splash at the box office when it releases on April 10. It’s already outshining Mammootty’s last film in early sales and could set new records in Mollywood. Fans are clearly excited to see the megastar in action again, and if the content lives up to the hype, Bazooka could become one of the top Malayalam films of 2025.
