Dominic and the Ladies Purse streams exclusively on ZEE5 starting 19th December 2025.

ZEE5, India’s largest homegrown video streaming platform, announced today that the much-anticipated Malayalam mystery-comedy-thriller film ‘Dominic and the Ladies’ Purse’ will premiere from 19th December 2025. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon in his Malayalam debut, the film is produced by Mammootty Kampany and features Mammootty in a distinctive and intriguing role.

Dominic and the Ladies’ Purse follow the story of Dominic (Mammootty), a seasoned former police officer who has now stepped into the shoes of a private detective. What appears to be a routine assignment, tracing the owner of a misplaced ladies’ purse, soon evolves into something far more sinister, pushing Dominic and his loyal aide Vignesh (Gokul Suresh) into a labyrinth of secrets, identities, and unexpected revelations.

With its engaging blend of humour, suspense, and emotional layers, the narrative promises audiences a unique take on the detective genre, set against a modern Malayalam cinema backdrop. The film features a talented ensemble cast including Gokul Suresh, Sushmitha Bhat, Viji Venkatesh, Siddique, Vineeth, and Vijay Babu, each adding depth and intrigue to the unfolding investigation.

Director Gautam Menon shared, “Making Dominic and the Ladies’ Purse have been a dream come true, it marks my first venture into Malayalam cinema. This film is built around a grounded, relatable hero, not a larger-than-life icon. We completed it in just 45 days, a testament to the energy, dedication and belief of every cast and crew member who joined hands for this story. I’m thrilled that the film is now coming to Malayalam ZEE5 because it will open doors for many more people to experience this world.”

With Mammootty leading a thrilling chase and Gautham Menon’s signature storytelling, viewers can expect a captivating cinematic experience filled with twists and clever detective play.
