Magalir Mattum is a heartwarming drama film that portrays the story of three strong-willed women - Prabhavathi (Jyothika), Gomatha (Urvashi) and Rani Amirthakumari (Saranya Ponvannan), who come from different walks of life and yet share the common thread of womanhood. Prabhavathi is a documentary filmmaker who is passionate about giving a voice to the voiceless women in society. Her supportive husband, Subash (Livingston), is her constant companion and ally in her mission. She sets out on a journey to meet her close friends Gomatha and Rani after many years.

Gomatha, a former milk lady at a railway station, is now running her own catering business. She is a single mother who has raised her son and daughter with utmost care and love. Her son, Douglas (Nassar), is now a successful businessman, while her daughter, Yamuna (Bhanupriya), is happily married with kids. Gomatha is excited to see her friend Prabhavathi after many years and is eager to share her success story with her.

Rani is a retired professor who lives with her only son, Bharath (Madhavan), and daughter-in-law, Uma (Oorvasi). Rani is a strong-willed woman who wants to live life on her own terms. She is a proficient cook and loves to feed people. She has a rocky relationship with her daughter-in-law, who doesn't understand her passion for cooking and homemaking.

The story takes a turn when Prabhavathi learns about Rani's desire to go on a road trip with her old friends. Prabhavathi, Gomatha and Rani set out on this journey, which turns out to be a trip down memory lane, and an opportunity for them to bond over shared experiences, laughter and tears.

Magalir Mattum brings to light the subtle nuances of women's relationships, their struggle for independence, and their resilience in the face of hardships. It showcases how women stand up for each other, support each other, and come together to achieve a common goal. The movie handles serious social issues such as domestic violence, gender bias and discrimination against women, while keeping the tone light-hearted and entertaining.

The movie is elevated by the strong performances of the lead cast. Jyothika delivers a striking performance as the courageous and headstrong Prabhavathi. Urvashi's portrayal of the resilient Gomatha, who balances work and family with ease, is convincing and uplifting. Saranya Ponvannan's performance as the spirited Rani, who refuses to be silenced by societal norms, is commendable.
