The film revolves around an advocate named Lakshmanan, quite famous for ‘liberating’ women from the clutches of evil husbands. ‘A divorce case’’ specialist, Lakshmanan sees to it that once the divorce is sanctioned, he even helps them to live an independent life by offering them jobs in his Pickles factory named ‘Ladies Only’. A man with number of fans among the fairer sex, for his cunning ways to secure divorce for hapless women, he always comes with loggerheads with his own brother –in –law (Suraj Venjaramoodu), another advocate who is destined to fail in every situation.

After establishing the premise in not so funny ways, the real turn happens in the life of Lakshmanan when an ‘Aaradhika’ started calling him regularly for his big deeds. After some days she reveals herself to be ‘Annie’ a college lecturer in a city college. She has her share of problems with a former lover ‘Alex’ following her. Lakshmanan who had already started admiring her decides to jump into the case which further complicates the life of the protagonist. The rest of the film is all about some twists in tale, revenge stories and finally the advocate is destined to turn a new leaf, realising his problems in accessing behaviors of others.

Advocate Lakshmanan Ladies Only - This Lakshmanan won’t satisfy ladies

A potential one-liner, but poor writing and tacky situations. Add to that some very shoddy direction and routine performances…. There ends the chances of a film, particularly one that features old names like Mukesh and Jagadheesh.
