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 pic.twitter.com/sAn2pYorv2
