Dominic and the Ladies’ Purse Twitter review
One person wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that the film starts out light-hearted and turns serious as it progresses, “#Dominicandtheladiespurse Loved the debut by GVM in Malayalam. Fun light start then changed to serious mode. Good performances by Sushmitha & mammukka. Darbukka siva's Music was good dop too. GVM prooved himself again. Expecting a winner at Box office.”
Another praised Mammootty’s performance and the nods to Sherlock Holmes, “Dominic and The Ladies’ Purse is a gripping investigation drama with a GVM vibe. Mammootty shines in the lead, and the Sherlock Holmes nods are a nice touch. The slower pace might not work for everyone, but I liked the realistic approach. #Mammootty #Dominicandtheladiespurse.”
One person believed that the climax was ‘unexpected’ writing, “#DominicAndTheLadiesPurse This movie excels in its way to make people entertained and at the same time have an investigation angle that keeps the audience sitting through a climax that's unexpected. A well made thriller.”
An X user called the film ‘above average’ but thought the twist was worth the slow pace, “#DominicandtheLadiesPurse is a soft, calm thriller by #GauthamMenon #mammootty Don’t expect a serious thriller, it’s slow-paced in the 2nd half but worth it for the shocking twist. Technical brilliance stands out. An above-average, family-friendly watch. #Dominic #Malayalam.”
However, not everyone was impressed with the film, with one person writing, “#DominicandtheLadiespurse. Weakest From M Kampany & Disappointed With #Mammootty - GVM Collaboration! Film is Based on Sherlock Holmes Reference Having No New Elements With Predictability. Ikka's Some Elements are the only saving Factor & Other Cast we're Bad. Totally AVERAGE.”
Another X user seemed to agree, “#DominicAndTheLadiesPurse. adull snoozefest that heavily depended on a climax twist and final act. the twist at the end was very obvious and resembled a recent Covid release. disappointed, a thriller that ended without any thrills. #Mammootty #GauthamVasudevMenon.”
One Gautham fan even called it his ‘weakest work’, writing, “#DominicAndTheLadiesPurse Laziness in Writing is Evident throughout the movie which is only feels gripping towards the final act. #Mammootty's Charming Investigative Character Lacks the Punch neither it's comedy nor serious. GVM's one of the weakest work. TEDIOUS.”
