What also doesn’t work for the film is that a villain (Ajay) is forcefully wrangled in just so SDT can show off his fighting skills in two oddly placed scenes. However, it’s time Tollywood filmmakers learn that ageist and fat-shaming no longer pass off as jokes in the 21 st century and leave you with nothing but a bitter taste in an otherwise okay film. Solo Brathuke So Better is a film that relies on humour for the most part to get its point across, especially when it comes to Virat’s frustration. As Virat grows older, gains maturity and understands the value of relationships, he meets Amrutha (Nabha Natesh), who might not fall for him easily. Egging him on is his mavayya (Rao Ramesh) who doesn’t value what he has till it’s too late. He even moves to Hyderabad from Vizag to get away from familial bonds and even goes as far as to disown friends when they choose to get hitched. Virat (Sai Dharam Tej) is a hot-blooded young man who believes with all his heart and soul that relationships – be it with parents or a life partner – are nothing but a drain on energy and a clamp on freedom.

And while the film revolves around a man whose aim in life is to make others understand why it is better to lead a solo life, the film shies away from delving deep into why he feels this way.

Review: Debutant director Subbu attempts to tell a tale that is light-hearted, almost a satire on those who believe that relationships are a waste of time with Solo Brathuke So Better. But what happens when he gets a taste of his own medicine? Story: Virat (Sai Dharam Tej) is a new-age baba with a book of slokas that recite how singlehood is the best way of life and a bunch of loyal followers.
