Chennai, Jan 22 (NationPress) As his inaugural Malayalam film ‘Dominic And The Ladies Purse’ prepares for its release, featuring the iconic Mammootty in the lead role, renowned director Gautham Vasudev Menon expressed his belief in “life, magic, and dogged pursuit”.
On his timeline on X, Gautham shared, “From the moment I viewed ‘Thaniyavarthanam’, ‘Amaram’, ‘Thalapathi’, ‘Vadakkan Veeragatha’, ‘CBI Diary Kurippu’, ‘New Delhi’, and ‘August 1’, I was captivated and thought about collaborating with this remarkable individual. Now, directing him in a film that he also produces fills me with conviction about life, magic, and relentless pursuit. #Mammooty sir as C.I Dominic in #DominicAndTheLadiesPurse comes to cinemas tomorrow.”
This film, an investigative thriller infused with humor, has sparked significant anticipation not only among fans and cinephiles but also among critics.
A trailer released recently showcases Mammootty as a flamboyant detective named Dominic, who operates the Dominic Detective Agency.
Dominic appears to be a man who takes great pleasure in extolling his own virtues, often boasting about his talents to his novice assistant (played by Gokul Suresh), who looks up to him. The story becomes intriguing when an elderly relative of Dominic discovers an unclaimed ladies purse at a hospital and seeks his help to locate its owner. What begins as a straightforward investigation soon becomes complex.
The trailer suggests that the film promises to be both exhilarating and amusing, with the boastful detective adding a comedic touch.
Slated for release on January 23, this project is produced by Mammootty's own production company, Mammootty Kampany.
In addition to Mammootty in the lead role, the film boasts a stellar cast featuring Gokul Suresh, Sushmita Bhat, Viji Venkitesh, Vineeth, and Vijay Babu in significant roles.
The film's score is composed by Darbuka Siva, known for his previous work on Gautham Menon's Ennai Noki Paayum Thota. Cinematography is handled by Vishnu R Dev, with editing by Anthony.
