Ever since December 2024, there’s another stunning movie called Dominic And The Ladies’ Purse. Directed by the notable person Gautham Vasudev Menon, who’s actually making a Malayalam cinematic debut with a star like Mammootty and having stars in that caliber – Gokul Suresh, Siddique, Vijay Babu – acting along in significant roles of this mystery-based comedy thriller – in theatres since 23rd January, 2025.
Dominic And The Ladies’ Purse had a decent opening at the Kerala box office, collecting ₹1.80 crore on its first day. While expectations for a stronger start were higher, the film’s positive word-of-mouth suggests it may gain momentum over the Republic Day weekend. With January 26 being a holiday, a rise in footfall is anticipated, boosting its collections.
The film is centered around Mammootty’s character, C.I. Dominic, a former cop turned detective. What starts off as a simple case of a missing purse leads Dominic into a tangled web of mysteries involving missing people, murder, and a stalker. The gripping narrative blends suspense with humor, showcasing Mammootty’s effortless charm and dynamic screen presence.
Several cinephiles have praised the film with its exciting plot, one of the witty dialogues themselves, and Mammootty’s acting. Many also applauded Gautham Vasudev Menon for this easy entry into Malayalam cinema.
The latest face that has thrilled audiences is Mammootty, in the action-comedy Turbo in 2024. Next up for the megastar after Dominic And The Ladies’ Purse, will be Deeno Dennis’s directorial debut, Bazooka, slated for February 14, 2025.
With strong reviews and promising word-of-mouth, Dominic And The Ladies’ Purse should go well for a few days to come, sealing Mammootty’s legacy in Malayalam cinema once more.
