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.

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.

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.

It's a beautiful movie with a crazy twist at the end. It's a must-watch film!! So I did some background research on the cast and to my surprise there was no mention of the actor who plays Karthik. He was not mentioned or seen in any of the films post-interviews and is not credited. If anyone has any answers to this please reply.

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😀
