Mark your calendars, Malayalam cinema fans! The much-talked-about detective caper ‘Dominic and the Ladies’ Purse’, starring megastar Mammootty, is set to make its digital debut. The film will begin streaming exclusively on the OTT platform ZEE5 starting December 19, 2025, bringing the quirky mystery directly to your screens just in time for the holiday season. After its theatrical run earlier this year, this digital release offers a second chance for audiences to catch Mammootty in a charmingly offbeat role as the retired-cop-turned-private investigator, Dominic.
Produced by Mammootty Kampany and directed by the acclaimed Gautham Vasudev Menon (GVM), the film follows Dominic on what seems like a simple mission: returning a lost purse. However, the case quickly spirals into a delightfully complex web of secrets, mistaken identities, and lighthearted intrigue. This character-driven mystery blends subtle humor with engaging plot twists, making it a perfect watch for fans of intelligent, personality-led detective stories.
While the film received mixed reviews upon its theatrical release—with some critics noting a slower, deliberate pacing—Mammootty’s charismatic and nuanced performance as Dominic was widely praised as a standout. The unique premise and the detective’s distinct personality have sparked significant conversation about the potential for a franchise, with director GVM himself expressing interest in developing Dominic into a recurring character for future investigative adventures.
So, whether you missed it in theaters or are eager for a rewatch, set a reminder for December 19 on ZEE5. Dominic and the Ladies’ Purse promises a cozy, clever, and entertaining mystery led by one of Indian cinema’s greatest stars, all from the comfort of your home. Don’t miss the chance to meet a detective who might just be sticking around for more cases to come.
