[1] The film stars Sivakarthikeyan and Nayanthara,[2][3] while Radhika Sarathkumar, Sathish, Yogi Babu, and Robo Shankar play supporting roles.

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.

Later, Keerthana meets with an accident and is admitted to the hospital by Mano, who donates blood to her to save her life.

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

[10] Aditya Shrikrishna of Silverscreen India called it Rajesh's "worst film" and criticised its lack of originality.

[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".
