Mr Local (2019) Tamil-language romantic comedy directed by M. Rajesh, featuring Sivakarthikeyan as Manohar, a cheerful salesperson, and Nayanthara as Keerthana, an arrogant television producer. Their initial clashes evolve into a tumultuous relationship, marked by humorous confrontations and misunderstandings.

Despite the star-studded cast, the film received predominantly negative reviews upon its release on May 17, 2019. Critics highlighted its outdated plot and lack of originality, with The Times of India noting the film’s “ineffective one-liners” and “illogical scenes.” The Hindu commented on the “wafer-thin” storyline, suggesting that Sivakarthikeyan’s presence barely held the predictable narrative together.
