Although Telugu filmmakers have a strange obsession with equating wives with mothers, the emotional context of this reference in Solo Brathuke So Better hits the right spot. But the most impressive part is how well Subbu delves into loneliness and companionship through the eyes of Subbu’s uncle (Rao Ramesh), who is the best written character in the story. There is even a hilarious gag involving Telugu filmmaker R Narayana Murthy, who advises youngsters to not follow in his footsteps when it comes to living a solo life. Written and directed by Subbu, one of the recurring themes in the story is that of loneliness, and how everyone needs a companion at some point in their lives. The rest of the story is all about what happens to Virat when he undergoes a change of heart, and wants to get married. But then, life teaches him that the laws of nature are much more stronger than his shlokas.

He just does not like the idea of love, and he does not even respect the institution of marriage, be it in his own family or even Gods. He believes in this principle so much that he even ends up writing a book with 108 shlokas, which is a major hit in his college.īut Virat is no incel. Solo Brathuke So Better follows the journey of Virat (Tej), a Vizag-based youngster, who believes that relationships and marriage will wreak havoc in a person’s life.
