Dominic And The Ladies Purse - Official Teaser
Fans are eager to revisit the film, especially after its unique storyline and Mammootty's sharp performance earned praise during its theatrical run. The film follows Dominic, a clever but cash-strapped ex-cop who now runs a small detective agency. His life takes an unexpected turn when his landlady offers to waive his rent if he can find the owner of a lost ladies' purse.
What appears to be a straightforward task soon spirals into a gripping mystery, as Dominic and his assistant uncover clues inside the purse that connect to a cold case involving two missing individuals.
As the investigation deepens, buried truths resurface, pushing Dominic into a complex web of revelations that go far beyond his original assignment.
Directed by
Gautham Vasudev Menon
, the film had a moderate run at the box office. Meanwhile, Mammootty's recently released game thriller film 'Bazooka' has also not announced the
OTT release
details.
'More of a Mammootty one-man show, in a good way'
We gave the film a rating of 3 stars out of 5 and ETimes review for 'Dominic and the Ladies' Purse' reads, '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.
