World
Of
Shekhar
This
segment
revolves
around
the
love
story
of
Shekhar
and
Radhika.
The
connection
of
Shekhar
and
Radhika's
story
with
the
element
water
has
been
brilliantly
depicted
in
the
narrative.
The
major
highlight
of
the
segment
is
the
wonderful
chemistry
between
Dulquer
and
Dhansika.
The
beautiful
songs
have
been
placed
perfectly.
But,
Dhansika's
dubbing
voice
was
a
major
letdown.
World
Of
Trilok
World
Of
Trilok,
which
revolves
around the
element
wind, stands
out
among
the
four
stories,
with
its
brilliant
conceptualisation.
The
segment
is
a
complete
thriller
which
has
some
really
good
acting
moments
and
mysterious
elements
in
store.
The
emotional
ups
and
downs
of
the
titular
character
Trilok,
a
veterinary
doctor,
have
been
portrayed
wonderfully.
This
segment
will
equally
satisfy
both
the
mass
and
class
movie
lovers.
World
Of
Siva
The
segment,
which
revolves
around
the
element
fire,
features
Dulquer
Salmaan
in
the
role
of
the
revenge-driven
Siva.
The
exceptional
actions
sequences
are
the
major
highlights
of
the
segment.
World
Of
Siva
makes
a
mark
with
its
exceptional
storytelling
and
stellar
performances.
A
sure
treat
for
the
dark
movie
lovers.
World
Of
Rudra
World
Of
Rudra
is
all
about
Lt.
Rudra
Ramachandran's
unconditional
love
for
Akshara.
Even
though
the
segment
has
all
the
elements
to
be
a
completely
entertaining
watch,
it
falls
flat
at
certain
points
with
the
slow
pace.
But
the
movie
definitely
makes
a
mark
with
the
exceptional
chemistry
between
Dulquer
Salmaan
&
Neha
Sharma,
and
the
wonderful
songs.
It
is
a
perfect
watch
for
the
class
audiences.
Dulquer
Salmaan
As
Shekhar,
Trilok,
Rudra,
&
Siva
Dulquer
Salmaan
deserves
a
huge
round
of
applause
for
his
impeccable
movie
selection
skills.
Kudos
to
the
actor
for
associating
with
such
a
brave
experiment.
When
it
comes
to
the
performance,
Dulquer
Salmaan
once
again
proves
that
he
has
immensely
improved
as
an
actor,
with
the
four
stellar
performances
in
Solo.
Especially,
his
performances
as
the
characters
Trilok
and
Siva
are
truly
praiseworthy.
Script
&
Direction:
Bejoy
Nambiar
Bejoy
Nambiar
makes
a
fantastic
debut
with
Solo,
which
is
truly
a
new
experience
for
the
Malayalam
audiences.
The
director
has
made
a
brave
attempt
by
blending
the
four
main
elements
of
panchaboothas
with
four
different
stories.
When
it
comes
to
the
technical
aspects,
except
World

Rudra,
all
the
three
segments
are
well-made
and
totally
engaging.
Nambiar
has
introduced
a
making
style
which
is
totally
new
to
the
Malayalam
industry,
which

penned

The
Leading
Ladies

introduces
four
leading
ladies
to
the
industry,
including
Sai
Dhansika,
Arthi
Venkatesh,
Neha
Sharma,
and
Sruthi
Hariharan.
Sai
Dhansika,
who
essayed
Radhika,
scored
with
her
charming
screen
presence
and
exceptional
chemistry.
But
her
dubbing
voice
played
a
spoilsport.
Model
Arthi
Venkatesh
made
a
decent
debut
with
the
movie,
but
definitely,
needs
improvement
when
it
comes
to
the
performance.
Sruthi
Hariharan,
who
played
Rukku,
scored
with
her
strong
performance
but
went
overboard
at
times.
Neha
Sharma,
who
played
Akshara,
also
made
a
mark
with
her
impressive
performance.
But
there
were
some
issues
with
the
actress' lip-sync,
at
certain
parts.
The
Supporting
Cast

supporting
cast
of
the
movie,

the
segments
of

were
equally
impressive,
when
it
comes
to
the
background
score.
Govind

who
handled
the

the
extraordinary

is
pretty
new
to
Malayalam
cinema.
Among
the
four
segments,
it
is
World
Of
Siva
and
World

which
especially
stand
out
with
the
magnificent
visualisation.
