The film begins in a jail in Paris, where Manohar, who is from Chennai, has just been released on bail provided by the Indian Embassy.

Mano is a middle-class youth who works as a salesperson in KUN Hyundai managed by Kuthala Sithambaram.

One day, he meets with a minor accident involving Keerthana Vasudevan, an arrogant TV producer.

In the present day, following his release, Mano borrows the warden's motorbike to meet Keerthana before leaving for India.

[13] Srinivasa Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "Sivakarthikeyan’s presence just about manages to hold Mr Local together [...] the songs are all just fillers and contribute little to carry the story forward, which was anyway wafer-thin in the first place".
