Mr
Local
has
hitthe
theatres
and
Sivakarthikeyan
is
back
with
an
entertainer
laced
with
comedy
and
romance.
This
time,
he
has
joined
hands
with
M
Rajesh
well-known
for
romantic
comedies.
Has
Mr
Local
turned
out
to
be
a
memorable
film
from
the
team?

Mr
Local
movie
review

to

the
answers.
Plot
The
plot
revolves
around
Manohar,
who
is
fond
of
sports.
On
the
other
hand,
there
is
Keerthana,
who
is
the
CEO
of
a
top
company.
The
film
takes
us
through
the
fights
that
happen
and
the
love
that
blossoms
between
them.
Script
&
Direction
M
Rajesh's
scripts
are
known
for
the
interesting
sequences
and
the
one-liners
that
they
have.
He
has
always
had
the
knack
of
placing
some
catchy
sequences
even
in
an
ordinary
story.
While
Mr
Local
has
got
an
interesting
plot
point
that
would
accomodate
some
very
good
interesting
sequences,
it
is
doubtful
whether
the
writer
in
Mr
Rajesh
has
made
proper
use
of
that.
The
comedies
work
at
parts
and
a
perfect
flow
is
invisible,
which
pulls
down
the
script.
The
director
has
managed
to
package
the
film
in
a
colourful
way
and
the
film
also
has
an
additional
mass
factor,
which
his
previous
films
didn't
have.
The
romantic
track
has
been
depicted
on
screen
in
a
convincing
way.
However,
Rajesh
repeats
the
same
techniques
which
he
came
up
in
his
previous
movies.
The
repetition
factor
pulls
down
the
film
big
time
and
the
proceedings
are
largely
predictable.
Both
the
halves
are
of
almost
the
same
pace
and
the
comedy
elements
have
also
been
evenly
paced.
Performances
Sivakarthikeyan
is
at
his
comfort
zone
and
his
screen
presence
is
one
of
the
major
positives
of
the
film.
He
cakewalks
through
the
role
of
Manoharan
and
keeps
the
audiences
entertained
with
his
one-liners
and
timing.
Nayanthara
too
makes
a
huge
impact
in
her
role
as
Keerthan.
Their
chemistry
is
so
good
and
at
times,
they
carry
the
film
on
their
shoulders.
Radhika
Sarathkumar
was
good
in
her
role
and
scores
with
her
comic
timing.
Yogi
Babu
scores
well
with
his
comedies.
It
needs
to
be
said
that
the
rest
of
the
actors,
including
Sathish
and
RJ
Balaji
fail
to
get
the
desired
consideration
in
the
script.
Other
Aspects
Hip
Hop
Thamizha's
songs
are
good
with
Takkunu
Takkunu
being
the
pick
among
the
lot.
However,
the
placements
of
the
song
could
have
been
better.
The
BGM
scores
more
than
the
songs
for
sure.
Cinematography
was
decent
and
editing
could
have
been
a
little
better.

Verdict
Mr
Local
is
a
template-driven
film
that
fails
to
entertain
the
viewers
on
a
consistent
basis.
However,
Sivakarthikeyan
and
Nayanthara
are
the
saving
graces
of
this
otherwise
ordinary
movie.
