Dominic and the Ladies' Purse

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.

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.

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.

An interesting simple but a decently unfolding mystery movie butbw8th a slightly a disappointing end with some open questions unanswered for unknown reason... Not a typical romantic GVM movie but completely outside his genre ... He has definitely given his best.. the story and the screenplay unfolds slowly but steadily but sometimes hurried unlike malayalam movie which is its negative point also....the story is somewhat different unlike normal crime stories makes it interesting... who can miss mammoka and his performance.... This man is an acting genius next to bacchan even a step ahead of our ulaga nayagan.. he interludes his comic sense subtly so easily in his character making the flow of movie interesting. Sometimes he is shown as genius overdoing unlike an ordinary detective which makes it not believable but otherwise except that the movie is definitely a treat for crime thriller lovers like me..go for it.

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.
