Nara Rohith and Nisha Aggarwal deliver career-best performances, breathing life into their characters and enriching the narrative with their chemistry and sincerity.
One of the highlights of “Solo” lies in its portrayal of familial bonds, particularly the touching scenes between the protagonist, portrayed by Nara Rohith, and the father-daughter duo played by Prakash Raj and Nisha Aggarwal, respectively. These heartfelt moments resonated with viewers, contributing to the film’s unexpected success at the box office. Director Parasuram’s adept handling of the narrative ensures a seamless flow, devoid of unnecessary melodrama, and accentuates the film’s inherent charm and authenticity.
Despite being the second film in the careers of both Nara Rohith and Nisha Aggarwal, “Solo” stands out as a testament to their talent and versatility.
