Dominic And The Ladies’ Purse, starring Mammootty in the lead role, released this Thursday. By skipping the regular Friday release, it will get the benefit of a 4-day extended weekend, but to capitalize on this, the film needed a good start on day 1. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, and it raked in just a decent number. Compared to Mammootty’s previous releases, the start is much slower, both in India as well as overseas.

Directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, the Malayalam mystery comedy thriller opened to mixed reviews from critics. Among the ticket-buying audience, word-of-mouth is mostly favorable, but since it’s not an out-and-out commercial film, the footfalls weren’t that high on the opening day. Both in India and overseas territories, where the legendary Mollywood star enjoys a strong fan base, the film registered a bit slow start.
On the opening day, Dominic And The Ladies’ Purse went from 20% occupancy in morning shows to 43% occupancy in night shows and registered a collection of 1.75 crore net at the Indian box office. Including taxes, it equals 2.06 crore gross. Compared to last few theatrical releases of Mammootty, the number is much lower. For those who don’t know, Bramayugam opened at 3.10 crores and Turbo opened at 6.25 crores.
