Solo Review – Solo Movie Review, Rating, Telugu Movie: Nara Rohith, who made his debut with Banam is back with Solo.
This time he tried to prove himself as an all rounder by showing his
skills. Did Parasuram proved successful in making Rohith a commercial
hero? Read on…
Story:
Gowtham (Rohith) is an orphan, who dreams of having his own family. Gowtham feels that if he marries a girl from a big family then he could have all the relatives. So he tries his best to find one such girl. He falls for Vaishnavi (Nisha) as she has everything that he is looking for. She is the daughter of Raghupathi (Prakash Raj), who wants his daughter to marry a man from a joint family. He rejects Gowtham as he is an orphan. The love pair got separated. How do they convince Raghupathi is the rest of the story.
Analysis:
Solo film has a simple story. Director Parashuram penned down a solid screenplay to narrate this simple point like his guru Puri Jagannadh. The film’s flow until interval point is smooth. The takeoff is good in the second half too. But the film’s color changes all of a sudden.
Until interval it is an entertaining story with ample fun. When the hero’s character takes a U turn, the mood of the film too has changed big time. Although it is understandable, few may not like the sudden shift. Director should have tried to include some funny characters in the marriage atmosphere without changing the mood of the hero. So that it would have pleased the audiences that look for comedy throughout the film.
On a whole, the mood of the film is alright. This story has to be dealt this way. There is nothing wrong in the approach of the director. Instead of being vocal all the time, he should have tried to show the pain of the protagonist visually. Saying so, we should admit that the dialogues are pretty good.Solo is being promoted as an entertaining love story. But it is actually an emotional love story blended with some amount of comedy. The makers of the film should immediately focus on the publicity and packaging!
Performances:
Rohith is rigid. He couldn’t emote well. His diction and screen presence is good. But he should concentrate on his expressions to be in business. Nisha Agarwal’s performance is not convincing. She should also work on her expressions. Prakash Raj is perfect as heroine’s father. He steals the show. Jayasudha is fine. Srinivasa Reddy is entertaining. Ali is alright. Sayaji Shinde and others did their bit.
Technicalities:
Mani Sharma music is average, be it for songs or background score. Cinematography is neat and production values are good. Director Parasuram handled the movie well. This film could have easily slipped into pathetic mood, but he constantly lifted it up with sharp dialogues and kept the spirits flowing. This is undoubtedly his best works till date.
Final Word: Solo film’s first half will appeal to people who look for fun. Second half of the film is aimed at the families. The producer should immediately focus on attracting them to the theatres. As of now openings are not so great and it should pick up with positive feedback. Solo also has a threat from few biggies to hold its ground at the box office.
