{{expand section|date=November 2020}}<br />
Bhavani is a no-nonsense inspector at a police station composed primarily of female officers, consisting of a head constable, two constables (Rosa and Chithra), and a driver Bhupathi. Bhavani is engaged to the engineer Subramani, whom her family had helped support financially. They are shown to be a happy couple. Tragedy strikes when Deputy Commissioner Nagaraj, aided by the unapologetically corrupt Assistant Commissioner, sexually assaults Chithra. Bhavani is determined to get justice for her subordinate but faces numerous ordeals, including having to choose between her fiancé and her morals.<br />

==Reception==<br />
A critic from ''The Hindu'' wrote "'[Magalirkkaga]' has a message. But director Indian should have coated it with sugar. He thought that the antics of Vadivelu and Kovai Sarala would help make it enjoyable but he has been proved wrong. The director's intentions are right but he must have taken care while writing the screenplay."<ref name = hi/> In addition, a reviewer from ''New Straits Times'' called it "a treat for everyone for the family".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=x8G803Bi31IC&dat=20000708&printsec=frontpage&hl=en|title = New Straits Times - Google News Archive Search}}</ref> A critic from the entertainment portal Tamil Movie Cafe noted "the film is well-intentioned, but never really takes off".<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20000711032802/http://tmcafe.com/magalirkaga.htm</ref><br />
