Solo is a Malayalam language anthology film consisting of 4 segments - each telling its own story. Each of the segments is named after an epithet of Lord Shiva and is assigned a color palette associated with a ‘pancha bhoota’ or ‘constituent elements of the universe’ according to traditional Hindu philosophy.
