Magalir Mattum (2017)

The movie was good. Everybody acted very well in the movie. Songs were not needed in the movie. BGM was good in the movie. And Cameo appearance by R.Madhavan was also excellent. The movie was so slow.

Short review
sarathpillaijl9 June 2019
This movie is a celebration of womenhood. It is definitely a feel good movie focused on women equality. The direction and screenplay is nothing special. It doesn't feel fresh or anything. The cast was simply superb. Everyone acted their part pretty well. The story is good ish. First half doesn't deliver the right emotions but second half is where the fun begins. Could have been better. Overall the movie is above average

Get on the road, ladies!
fahimay3 November 2017
Warning: Spoilers
With the "shooting with dosai" teaser playing wild on YouTube weeks before the release, we wait for Jo's "Back with a bang" movie with anticipation. Nostalgia hits me when I see this sharing names with the 1994 released "fearless women trio take over womanising boss " flick.

The teaser is a bit misleading, as for one, the scene shown is not replayed in the movie and second, the plot doesn't revolve around a foursome, it's actually a threesome, a buddy trio. Jo just plays the role as a motivational coach, a headstrong one ,who intends on having her way at all times.

We've got three veterans in full form, Urvasi, Banupriya and Saranya Ponvannan. Their male counterparts have humbly stepped back to allow the ladies be in the limelight, including our very own Nasar and yesteryear Sundara Purushan Livingston. Nevertheless, their roles have been executed neatly, with the desired weightage.

This is a story of three friends reuniting after nearly 30 years. As it is a road movie for most of the length of the movie, sporting rarely-seen locales from North India, it flows at a leisurely pace. Urvasi is at her best with her spontaneous humour. Like it's 1994 namesake, this is about female empowerment too but with a different recipe. Novelty is the ladies are well past their prime when they get a chance to introspect on their humdrum existence. A feel-good movie, the type of which is rarely seen in Tamil cinema, leaves you with a smile on the face, well after the ending too.

A house wife's plight
arunothia15 September 2017
This movie is beautifully directed and the actors have done an excellent job (especially Urvasi). It has a simple plot showing the plight of house wives in our Tamil society. I really appreciate the efforts by Jo and her team for coming up with such useful narratives for our society. Also, Maddy's guest appearance added more color to the movie! I liked it and definitely think it's great for a one time watch.
