Mammootty's Film on the Rise: Challenging Identity at the Box Office
2 months ago | 5 Views
Mammootty's film, Dominic and the Ladies' Purse, directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, premiered in theaters on January 23, 2025. The film received mixed reviews but had a promising start at the box office. However, it experienced a decline in earnings on its fifth day, generating only Rs 0.50 crore, as reported by industry tracker Sacnilk. Despite this setback, the film is expected to surpass Tovino Thomas' Identity, currently holding the second position in the Mollywood box office rankings for 2025. Further details are provided below.
Dominic and the Ladies' Purse box office collections
On its fifth day, which was its first Monday in theaters, Dominic and the Ladies' Purse earned merely Rs 0.50 crore. The film had previously garnered approximately Rs 1.8 crore on Sunday, but the Monday figures reflected a decrease, likely due to the weekday.
Notwithstanding the drop, the total global earnings for the Mammootty-GVM collaboration have reached Rs 14.5 crore, placing it third among Malayalam films released in 2025. Tovino Thomas' Identity currently occupies the second position with Rs 16.84 crore, according to Sacnilk. With only Basil Joseph’s Ponman and Vineeth Sreenivasan’s Oru Jaathi Jathakam scheduled for release later this week, there is potential for the Mammootty-starrer to surpass Tovino Thomas’ action thriller in the near future.

Dominic and the Ladies' Purse cast and plot
Mammootty stars as Dominic, a former police officer turned private detective. Gokul Suresh portrays his assistant, while the supporting cast includes Viji Venkatesh, Sushmitha Bhatt, Siddique, Vineeth, and Vijay Babu.
The narrative follows Dominic as he embarks on a quest to locate the owner of a ladies' purse, only to become entangled in a complicated mystery. While some reviews describe the film as an enjoyable experience, they also note that the investigation lacks sufficient intrigue.

Identity OTT release
Identity is scheduled for release on ZEE5 on January 31, 2025. Additionally, viewers will have the option to stream the film on OTTplay Premium. This Malayalam action-thriller features a cast that includes Tovino Thomas, Trisha, Vinay Rai, and Shammi Thilakan. The film will make its OTT debut less than a month after its theatrical release on January 2, 2025.
