	The film starts with a student riot stating they want justice for an unnamed act. The film then flashes back to 2012, where Virat ([[Sai ~~Dharam~~ Tej]]) is lecturing the students in his college to not fall in love and stay a bachelor. He encourages them to read his book, also called Solo Brathuke So Better, which has 108 principles to live life 'solo', as a bachelor. He is supported in this venture by his friends and uncle ([[Rao Ramesh]]) (who is married and is unable to handle his wife's constant nagging.) and he becomes the leader and founder of the Solo Brathuke So Better union. During the college farewell, Virat's classmate Rashi proposes to him, but he rejects her, leaving her in tears.		The film starts with a student riot stating they want justice for an unnamed act.

	Virat goes to Hyderabad to take up a job in an event management company and along with his friends, finds an apartment to stay. Govind Gowda ([[Vennela Kishore]]), comes over to invite the friends to his wedding and Virat refuses to come. However, he becomes the event manager for Govind's wedding, so he ends up at the wedding. Unfortunately, the wedding ends up getting cancelled due to Virat's antics and also because Govind had lied about his age. As time passes, each of Virat's friends end up getting married and he gets frustrated at this. One night, he sees his inspiration (who the SBSB union was started on) giving an interview on TV urging guys to get married. After seeing his foundation shook, upon that Virat returns to his house where he finds out that his aunt had passed away months ago and finds his uncle regretting the constant fights they had. Influenced by both of these incidents, Virat decides to get married and calls his friends over. They try to find a suitable girl but no one from their college is ready to marry him, since Virat was the 'villain' in their love stories; the only one willing to marry him is his boss, but he isn't ready to, as she's comparatively older than him.

He encourages them to read his book, also called Solo Brathuke So Better, which has 108 principles to live life 'solo', as a bachelor.

During the college farewell, Virat's classmate Rashi proposes to him, but he rejects her, leaving her in tears.

Virat goes to Hyderabad to take up a job in an event management company and along with his friends, finds an apartment to stay. Govind Gowda ([[Vennela Kishore]]), comes over to invite the friends to his wedding and Virat refuses to come. However, he becomes the event manager for Govind's wedding, so he ends up at the wedding. Unfortunately, the wedding ends up getting cancelled due to Virat's antics and also because Govind had lied about his age. As time passes, each of Virat's friends end up getting married and he gets frustrated at this. One night, he sees his inspiration (who the SBSB union was started on) giving an interview on TV urging guys to get married. After seeing his foundation shook, upon that Virat returns to his house where he finds out that his aunt had passed away months ago and finds his uncle regretting the constant fights they had.

They try to find a suitable girl but no one from their college is ready to marry him, since Virat was the 'villain' in their love stories; the only one willing to marry him is his boss, but he isn't ready to, as she's comparatively older than him.

Govind returns again inviting Virat to his next wedding, to which he agrees when Govind keeps pestering Virat to come. However, that wedding gets stopped as well as the bride Amrutha ([[Nabha Natesh]]) states publicly that she is in love with Virat. Virat becomes jubilant and decides to marry her as well. However, on talking with her, Amrutha tells Virat that she is a staunch believer of Virat's policies, that staying a bachelor is best. Virat realizes that what he was doing was wrong and decides to change her mind. These involve a fight with Ravanudu ([[Ajay (actor)|Ajay]]), taking her to a Titanic painting exhibition, but she defeats these attempts using Virat's SBSB policies. Virat's uncle commits suicide unable to handle the loneliness, and finding no way out, Virat decides to confess his love for Amrutha, but Ravanudu takes her hostage to avenge his prior humiliation. Virat defeats the henchmen and is about to confess to Amrutha but she says that her father had spoken to her and changed her mind. Virat is ecstatic and confesses everything to Amrutha. This leads to a riot by the SBSB followers, following which Virat appeases the crowd by stating that he will write 108 principles to convince them to fall in love, and the film ends with Virat and Amrutha getting married.

Y. Sunita Chowdhary of ''[[The Hindu]]'' opined that the film could have benefited from a better script. "The dialogues are good, the screenplay is convincing but there is not enough content or high point in the story. The conflict is not strong and there is hardly anything exciting to look forward to," Chowdhary wrote.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Chowdhary|first=Y.

That’s its spectacular tragedy."<ref>{{Cite web|title='Solo Brathuke So Better' review: A semi-joke of a trite film!|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2020/dec/26/solo-brathuke-so-better-review-a-semi-joke-of-a-trite-film-2241250.html|access-date=2020-12-26|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref>

Karthik Keramulu of ''[[Film Companion]]'' opined that the romcom follows a tried and tested formula.
