Dominic and the Ladies' Purse

Dominic and the ladies purse was an interesting watch. A good story that makes the audience laugh and thrilled. GVM had made a nice film with the two actors he chose. Mammooty and Gokul Suresh nailed the film with their best acting performances in the film. The climax made me happy that the film will go to the 100 crore club! It is small mixture of CBI but has comedy. We can say that Mammootty have got back to back Blockbusters of 24 and 25. The first half was comedy but the second half was thrilling. A murder-comedy film. I am honestly saying best story, best script, best director. Thank you GVM😀

Once again mammootty and mammootty komapany deliverd a quality filim.

Domnic, the private detective always have a smile in his face. Domnic the sharp detective having a lot of problems in life. Filim started by sketching how the life of domnic and later the story started gripping as mentioned in the title, a ladies purse. Gokul suresh played a super character and well maintained timing and have a grear judgement towards screenplay. As an actor i never felt gokul as a good one like his father, but in this filim he kept the right track pace throughout the filim.

Songs was good and one drawback is backgroud music. The team need to focus more on working in a investigation thriller.

Overall i liked yhe movie.

GG Gautham Vasudeo Menon's Malayalam debut as a director, Dominic and the Ladies' Purse, is an above-average investigative thriller that is let down by its generic writing. The humor works very well, and Mammootty's character stands out with unique traits that could surely be explored further. GVM keeps the film simple, which both works and doesn't work at times. The sync sound is slightly distracting, while the editing is well below average. On the other hand, the cinematography is good, and the songs are enjoyable.

Mammootty shines throughout the film. His charisma as Dominic makes up for film's shortcomings, ensuring you're entertained from start to finish. Gokul Suresh's character has little to offer but does a decent job with what he's given. Viji Venkatesh provides good support, while Sushmitha Bhatt delivers a decent performance as well. Rest of cast fails to make any impression. Overall, the film ends up being just an above-average thriller but its Mammootty which makes it a fun watch.

OVERALL - 7/10.

A comic sprinkled, light hearted thriller. GVM has adopted himself well to the tone of Malayalam Film Industry and audience, I must say in terms of directing, as story belongs to someone else's. One should forget about GVM's tamil works.

His signature direction touches have been brushed here and there throughtout the movies. I admire Mammookka for his fitness and something people can get inspired from.

The characters in the movie did their job nice and neat. Everything from story, screenplay, music, acting, camera work and editing were just the right amount. A good watch, it left me with a pleasant feel.

It is a mystery-comedy thriller that offers a blend of intriguing moments and light-hearted humor. The movie delivers some genuinely comic sequences, keeping the tone balanced throughout.

Mammootty shines in his role, portraying the character with natural finesse and delivering a performance that does full justice to his reputation. Gokul Suresh complements him well as the co-star, and the duo shares impressive chemistry that adds to the film's charm.

That said, the pacing is a bit slow, making it less suited for fans of commercial, fast-paced cinema. The narrative takes time to engage the audience, but it builds up to a decent climax. While the final twist is unexpected and satisfying, the ending becomes somewhat predictable toward the last portion of the movie.

The music deserves a mention for its contribution to the overall mood, enhancing key moments effectively.

In summary, It may not be groundbreaking, but it's a decent watch with some standout performances, especially from Mammootty, and an engaging twist to wrap things up. A good pick for fans of mystery-comedy thrillers who don't mind a slower pace.
