Bazooka

A painting is smuggled from abroad and spotted during a road check. ACP Benjamin Joshua intervenes in Kochi and ensures the artwork is moved into encrypted storage to prevent theft. This early incident sets up the high-stakes chase that drives the rest of the plot.

Months later, Sunny, a hardcore gamer, boards a bus bound for Bengaluru and strikes up a conversation with his co-passenger, Aryan Acharyan. The encounter hints at a larger mystery connected to the earlier painting. The journey plants the seed for later revelations.

Sunny snoops through Aryan's laptop and discovers that his seatmate is not who he claims to be. Aryan reveals himself as John, a former police forensic professional and Benjamin's childhood friend. He confides that he went on sabbatical and hints at deeper involvement in the case.

John arrives in Kochi to aid Benjamin as a gang of disguised robbers begins raiding locations. The criminals design their heists to mirror a video-game style challenge, handing the police cryptic clues to solve before the loot disappears. The case grows more personal and perilous.

The robberies follow a sequence inspired by a video game, with every successful raid hinging on solving the next clue. Benjamin's team repeatedly falls behind, unable to anticipate the next move. John starts mapping each crime to a level in the game.

The criminals lure Benjamin's young son with a Mario-themed gameset to manipulate him. The boy resists Benjamin's warnings and keeps the toy, increasing the stakes for the detective family. The incident showcases how the criminals target innocent bystanders to pressure investigators.

After a chase, police catch a gang member, but the suspect refuses to reveal information even under torture. John and Benjamin regroup as they seek a new angle, hoping the game-based clues will crack the code. The tension rises as the clock ticks toward the next robbery.

With the boy's memory of the game and John's analytical lead, they decipher the game titles that map to real-world clues. The trio works through the levels, and the final level reveals the hidden painting's location. The discovery marks a turning point in the investigation.

The encoded path points to a high-profile customs office in Kochi where the painting is locked behind a security system. John designs a heavy, electrified lock to mask the artwork and prevent it from being extracted. The protocol aims to secure the treasure until the proper authorities can intervene.

Sunny challenges John's belief in hacker prowess and attempts to crack the lock himself. After some initial hurdles, he successfully breaks the encrypted seal, showcasing his gaming skills. The pair then head toward Bangalore with new information and a shifting alliance.

On the way to Bangalore, the expedition ends with news that John Caesar, who assisted the police, has been arrested in Kerala in connection to the lock he allegedly built. Sunny rushes back to Kochi to seek the truth. The case takes a sharp turn as the investigators confront a possible misdirection.

Back in court, Benjamin fights to free John. It is revealed that the arrested John Caesar is not the actual John who helped them; rather, a different man—the childhood friend involved in the earlier robberies—has been misidentified. The revelation unsettles the case and shifts blame away from the real ally.

Sunny spots Jovita in Kochi and tails her to a hideout with the rest of Bazooka's gang. Bazooka—also known as Mr. Mario—reveals himself as the mastermind in disguise and explains his vendetta against Benjamin. The gang's true motive unfolds as the chase intensifies.

Bazooka lays out how Benjamin angered him by sealing the painting, which contains a hidden treasure. John Caesar had actually been guiding the operation, not the arrested man. The film closes with Bazooka boarding a Dubai-bound flight, hinting at a possible sequel with Benjamin and Sunny still on his trail.
