Magalir Mattum (English: Ladies Only) is a 2017 Indian Tamil comedy drama film written and directed by Bramma, as his second venture after Kuttram Kadithal (2015).

The film stars Jyothika, Urvashi, Bhanupriya, and Saranya Ponvannan, while Nassar, Livingston, Gokulnath, and G. Marimuthu play supporting roles.

She lives with her two filmmaking friends, but later moves in with her future mother-in-law Gomatha Silkurayappan aka Goms, when her son leaves for a job overseas.

Prabha learns that Goms misses her school friends Subbulakshmi Mangalamoorthy aka Subbu and Rani Amirthakumari Gothandaraman, with whom she has lost contact for nearly 40 years.

Once Goms, Rani and Subbu are reunited, Prabha takes them on a three-day "Ladies Only" tour throughout North India so they can escape from their shackled lives.

At the end of the journey, Goms, Rani and Subbu are treated to a special anniversary screening of Aval Appadithan, the film they watched together on its first day: 30 October 1978.

[7][6] For her role, Jyothika had to lose weight and learn to ride a motorbike and consequently did so with the help of her husband Suriya and professional biker Sheeba through lessons in Uttar Pradesh.

The film was officially launched in July 2016, with actors Saranya Ponvannan, Bhanupriya, Urvashi, Nassar and Livingston revealed to be joining the cast.

[1] Critic Ashameera Aiyappan of The Indian Express wrote "the main strength of Magalir Mattum is the empathy it invokes" and that "Bramma’s writing will bring flashes of conversations with women of your own family and that is a major asset for the movie", while giving it a high rating of 3.5 stars.
