ZEE5 Global, a prominent platform for South Asian entertainment, has announced the digital premiere of the Malayalam mystery-comedy-thriller, Dominic and the Ladies’ Purse. The film is set to stream worldwide from December 19, 2025.
This project marks a significant milestone for director Gautham Vasudev Menon, who makes his Malayalam directorial debut with this film. Produced by Mammootty Kampany, the film stars the legendary actor Mammootty in a compelling and unconventional role.
The narrative follows Dominic, a retired police officer who has transitioned to life as a private investigator. What begins as a seemingly straightforward task—locating the owner of a lost ladies’ purse—quickly evolves into a complex and perilous investigation. Alongside his trusted assistant Vignesh, portrayed by Gokul Suresh, Dominic navigates a labyrinth of hidden truths, shifting identities, and unexpected twists.
Blending humor with suspense and emotional depth, Dominic and the Ladies’ Purse offers a refreshing take on the detective genre within contemporary Malayalam cinema.

Director Gautham Vasudev Menon shared his thoughts on the film, noting that this project holds special significance as his first venture in Malayalam cinema. He described the protagonist as a grounded and relatable character, steering away from the archetype of a larger-than-life hero. Menon also highlighted the film’s efficient production, revealing that it was completed in just 45 days, thanks to the dedication and passion of the entire cast and crew. He expressed excitement about the film’s release on ZEE5 Global, emphasizing that the platform will help the story reach a broader audience.
With Mammootty anchoring the film and Menon’s signature storytelling style driving the narrative, Dominic and the Ladies’ Purse promises an engaging viewing experience filled with clever investigations, sharp humor, and unexpected turns.
