The film narrates the story of three female school friends who reunite after 38 years, despite the pressures put upon them by the men in their lives. Produced by Suriya and featuring music composed by Ghibran, the venture began production in July 2016 and had a theatrical release on 15 September 2017. Magalir Mattum received positive reviews.

Production

After the success of Kuttram Kadithal (2015), Bramma was approached by Suriya's production house 2D Entertainment to make a film for them. Bramma pitched three scripts including one for Jyothika to play the leading role in a "female-centric" script, which her husband Suriya agreed to finance. Jyothika subsequently participated in a series of workshops to get ready for her role in the film for twenty days.

Prior to the film's release, Bramma revealed that he had watched the film over 200 times. He also stated that after the film's theatrical release, the team planned to take it to international film festivals. To promote the film, the team launched comics in Tamil and Tanglish that spoke about women's rights, the life they lead, and what marriage does.
