Comedy has been Sivakarthikeyan's forte and the actor is back with full-fledged jolly entertainer in the form of Mr Local. He has collaborated with director M Rajesh, who is considered to be a specialist in this genre.
After Velaikkaran, Sivakarthikeyan has paired up with Nayanthara. M Rajesh's earlier movies had Santhanam playing the side-kicks of the heroes and his only job was to break the funny bones of the audience. As he has now become a hero, the director is filling his absence with three comedians – Yogi Babu, Robo Shankar and Sathish.
Raadika Sarathkumar, RJ Balaji, Manobala, Soundararaja, Narayan Lucky and a host of artistes are part of the supporting cast. The movie has Hiphop Tamizh's music, Vivek Harshan's editing and the cinematography by Dinesh Krishnan and Arthur Wilson.
Mr Local Story:
As per the rumours, Mr Local is not a remake of Rajinikanth's yesteryear film, Mannan. However, the theme of the movie is similar as it deals with the hero and heroine's clash. The Tamil flick revolves around Manohar (Sivakarthikeyan), who works in a car showroom as a sales person, and Keerthana (Nayanthara), a TV serial producer. What happens when the happy-go-lucky boy and a strong girl lock horns forms the crux of the story.
Mr Local Reviews:
Sivakarthikeyan's Mr Local has opened to mixed reviews from the netizens. It is a usual comedy capper in which the fun elements work occasionally. Siva's portion is good and Nayan's portions stand out from the lot. Cinematography is the major plus. Check out the viewers' response below:
Sathish Kumar M: #MrLocal Director Rajesh has tried to give yet another comedy entertainer without any story and has delivered it to some extent with @Siva_Kartikeyan
vijay Immanuel: My Rating For #MrLocal 2.5/5
Nothing Great To Say About The Movie Except Nayanthara Acting And Few Comedy Scenes By Yogi Babu And Robo Shankar..
Heavily Disappointed!!
As usual Performance From #sivakarthikeyan
Family Audience May Love The Movie!! #EnowaytionPlus
S KumArAGurU: #MrLocal one time pakaalaam..Ellarum solra alavuku mokka laam illa. Fun filled movie.. Remo release ana po athaiyae Ithula logic ae illa mokka nu athaey kootam#Sivakarthikeyan @Siva_Kartikeyan Nice acting.. also #Nayanthara @ActorRoboSankar @yogibabu_offl..
Tamil Censor: Copying #Rajini & #Vijay style in all movie & as usual unwanted #Ajith reference..
Now this is #Sivakarthikeyan a talented entertainer who failed to impress us in his last 2 film..
#SeemaRaja..now #MrLocal.
Bad Phase..!
Rajasekar: #MrLocal - A wafle thin storyline presented in trademark @rajeshmdirector style. @Siva_kartikeyan scores in each and every scene, which is indeed the film's biggest strength. If you expect 150 minutes time pass, this film will provide you for sure. Popcorn entertainer!
#MrLocal - The film follows the template of @rajeshmdirector 's #OKOk and #SMS, not a great role for #Nayanthara but she delivers what the character demands.
#MrLocal - The film has its high and low points but manages to entertain us throughout. @Siva_kartikeyan in full form so it's his show all the way!
Believe it or not.. This is 6 AM show, that too in Bangalore.. Valarchi enbadu yaadenil.. @rajeshmdirector @Siva_Kartikeyan #MrLocal #MrLocalManiaStarts pic.twitter.com/W6sQWNExSi

Shyam Thala veriyan: #MrLocal Awesome movie
Sk is back ....@Siva_Kartikeyan super acting .... Entertainment with upto to climax so good
Ramesh Bala: #MrLocal 1st Half: A series of jokes and funny incidents..
Time Pass..
@Siva_Kartikeyan and #Nayanthara star power holding it..
Review Ram: #MrLocal - Interval - Comedies fail to work out, situations are weak, no big story and the one-line punches misfire. Nowhere the flow excites or entertains. #Sivakarthikeyan & #Nayanthara looks good. The comedians just fill the screen but offer nothing much.'Boring' so far.
S Abishek: Extensive first half.
Happy to see @Siva_Kartikeyan in his original prime form.
On and off engagement but for a weekend getaway, there are certain moments to sit back and enjoy.
#MrLocal is a template, but does entertain periodically.
#ladysuperstar #Nayanthara takes complete control.
Tailor made role and it's a high to see her create conflicts with @Siva_Kartikeyan
Kudos to #DeepaVenkat for making #Nayanthara 's performance stand out.
#MrLocal
Be it the angst or the irritation, dubbing keeps it alive.
Kaushik LM: #MrLocal - "#Viswasam la #Thala ye avanga kita driver ah velaiku serndhaaru" ..
Sema whistles here in Bengaluru.
#MrLocal - Manohar @Siva_Kartikeyan's ringtone in the film is the #NenjamunduNermaiyunduOduRaja song. Nice way to promote his second production from @SKProdOffl. In-film branding
#MrLocal 1st half - Hero vs Heroine moodhal! Enough timepass fun moments, due to the awesome star cast. @Siva_Kartikeyan and Co. are having fun! Just For Jolly
@rajeshmdirector keeps lots of trending dialog references (from Kollywood, TN politics) to further entertain viewers

Dinesh Prasadh: #MrLocal First half - SK intro was good @Siva_Kartikeyan is back in his league and #Nayan and @realradikaa scores well comedies works in bits other than that everything falls flat
Sidhu: #MrLocal Interval: Hops along light-heartedly with it's fun moments spread out well. The SK - Nayanthara track stabilizes the film, lot of references to current trending topics which'll crack you up. Mildly enjoyable so far!
NeymaR™: The flim is exponentially talking about the ill effects of globalization and the need of localization.
