He was complemented by Parvathy Thiruvoth's acting.Kammattipadam: In this gangster epic, Dulquer's character, though reminiscent of the one he played in Second Show, engages us with a performance that occasionally evoked Mammootty's earlier roles.Solo: Despite some of its shortcomings, Solo is notable for Dulquer's convincing portrayal of four different characters of varying qualities in four different stories.Vikramadithyan: A feel-good tale of friendships and problematic parents, Dulquer played a thief's son who is determined to not let his circumstances get in the way of his dreams.Ustad Hotel: This is not only one of the best films ever made about food, but also a heartwarming tale of the transformative power of strong bonds formed between people of two different generations.
