Trailer Unveiled for Gautham Menon’s Debut Malayalam Film 'Dominic and The Ladies Purse'

Chennai, Jan 8 (NationPress) Renowned filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon has released the trailer for his first Malayalam movie, 'Dominic and The Ladies Purse', featuring Malayalam cinema legend Mammootty in the central role.

In a post on his X timeline, Gautham Menon shared, “Here are some visuals from #DominicAndTheLadiesPurse, my first in Malayalam and more importantly, with the legendary #Mammootty! In Cinemas from Jan 23 #MammoottyKampany #SamadTruth #TruthGlobalFilms #WayfarerFilms” and included the trailer link.

The trailer showcases Mammootty portraying a self-important detective named Dominic, who operates the Dominic Detective Agency. Dominic comes across as a character who loves to highlight his own achievements, often boasting about his abilities to his novice assistant (played by Gokul Suresh), who is in awe of his every move.
