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😀

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.

Rating - 3/5

A slow paced investigation drama unfolding mystery through intriguing background notes towards the climax.

The plot of the story is about a ladies purse and the mystery that unfolds by the spy investigation surrounding the wallet forms the base for the storyline.

The story idea by the writer brothers was noteworthy but lacked clarity and robustness in few instances which is visible through few character arcs that is left open and incomplete. GVM has blended some hilarious moments through dialogues but miserably failed in properly executing the story. The audience expecting some interesting developments towards the climax goes disappointed and is left behind with vacuum in the mind once the movie ends.

Decent performances by Mammootty & Gokul Suresh. Shine Tom Chacko & Vijay Babu was a miscast and had nothing to do in the movie. Darbuka Siva's BGM's couldnt help the movie when considering totally.

A passable investigation drama lacking a strong bounded screenplay.

So this Malayalam flick helmed by our guy Gautham Menon is basically a mystery-investigation ride with Mammootty donning the detective cap. The promo vids gave that away anyway, no big spoilers.

Story vibes? It's got some fresh toppings but yeah, a lot of recycled Malayalam and Hollywood flavor in the mix. First half? Slow af, but the comedy keeps you awake. Second half? Twisty turns incoming-some you see coming, some hit you outta nowhere. Not as draggy though. And the climax? Bang on!

Gautham's direction? Slick and clean, man's still got it. Mammootty and the squad? Killing it in their roles, no cap. Music's meh, but that final song in the climax slaps hard. The visuals and production design? Chef's kiss.

Bottom line? It's like ordering a solid above-average pizza. Not groundbreaking, but tasty enough. Just don't walk in with sky-high expectations, and bring a lil patience. You'll walk out chill.

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.
