Michael Velayudham (Pawan Kalyan) is a chef in Italy. He is an easygoing chap who flirts with girls and enjoys his affairs. His ambition is to go to the US and work in New York for a stockbroker. He dates Meera Sastri (Trisha), an art restoration professional in Cape Town. After a year, they agree to break up as she has to move to India for work, and he believes long-distance relationships do not work.
In Cape Town, Michael meets Senapathi (Paresh Rawal), the owner of a restaurant, who narrates the love story of his friend Arjun Palwai (Pawan Kalyan) with Vasumati (Kriti Kharbanda), which occurred around 1981. Meanwhile, after Meera moves to India, Michael fails to connect with any other girl. To prove to her that he has moved on, he meets a blonde girl named Michelle (Danah Marks) in a bar and dates her. However, Meera is proposed to by her family friend, politician Sudheer (Sonu Sood), and she agrees to marry him, only to prove that she has moved on too.
Michael comes to India under some pretext and meets Meera. Frustrated that Meera married Sudheer, he becomes desperate and regrets what has happened. In his sorrow, he receives an offer for his dream job in the US. Initially, he enjoys his new job, but eventually, he feels a loneliness he does not understand.

The Times of India stated, "Finally, a nice, breezy mid-summer entertainer!"[7] Rediff.com noted, "Teenmaar is entertaining despite its slow pace in parts. It's Pawan's show all the way mostly".[8] Indiaglitz stated, "Pawan Kalyan surely focused on this movie and consciously worked hard not to disappoint his fans. He succeeds in his attempt. It is a good movie that makes for a pleasant watch".[9]
Oneindia noted, "The film is about a clash between the current and the past generation. The audience in B, C centres may find it difficult to understand the movie at parts due to the jumbling of scenes, which highlight the present and past generation. Moreover, the use of Italian language by the hero for most part of the first half may confuse the audience. However, the film would run well in A centres and it is worth a watch".[10]
