Solo is a complete reflection of director Parasuram, the language, the locations, the people and the sense of humour. He has a simple point of the hero being born an orphan and being raised or brought up without someone whom he call his own. His only aim in his life is to marry a girl who has a large family behind her and when the search ends the girl's father seeks the same qualities in the prospective son-in-law.
The hero refuses to marry her without the family's approval because he craves for the love and the sense of belonging, the togetherness. The major flaw in the movie begins in the next half of the film when you don't agree or connect to the point of the hero making his presence felt physically at the girl's home, staying with them even while her wedding has been fixed and her groom, his family is at home.
Why would any person no matter for whatever reason would allow a boy friend in the house? The attempt here is to glorify the character of the hero, of his largesse and derive sympathy from his sacrifice but that doesn't happen. The director tries to justify this point through Sayaji Shinde's character but it isn't convincing.
Next is director Parasuram trusting Rohit to carry of comedy in his second film. The first film had Rohit doing a serious role, hardly smiling. When actors with decades of experience aren't able to get the right expression, how could the director expect a relative newcomer to pull of the comedy quotient? Rohit has shown variation, improved vastly in dances but he still needs to work hard and be flexible in his body language, expressions. Luckily and intelligently there are very few fights.
Srinivas Reddy is back in form, he and Ali steal the show and so does newcomer Swapnika who plays the heroine's friend. This film is completely hero-centric, so Nisha Agarwal doesn't get to do much. She was better and a natural in her first film, here she is a regular eye candy you get to see in many movies. Not that one sees a mirror image of Kajal in her because she is her sibling, it is the lack of weight in her role that the attention diverts to physical comparisons of the sisters.
There is a 'Solo' song like Ek Niranjan with lyrics almost duplicated, Prakash Raj and Jayasudha appear in clichéd roles. Parusuram is capable of much more better work, Solo struggles to show logic and suffers from cast who couldn't put up a competent show but luckily the comedians give you the money's worth and the character artistes fill up the gaps and prevents Rohit from crumbling solo.
