  In this paper, we study the formation of solitons, their propagation and
collision behaviour in an integrable multicomponent (2+1)-dimensional long
wave-short wave resonance interaction ($M$-LSRI) system. First, we briefly
revisit our earlier results on the dynamics of bright solitons and demonstrate
the fascinating energy exchange collision of bright solitons appearing in the
short-wave components of the $M$-LSRI system. Then, we explicitly construct the
exact one- and two- multicomponent dark soliton solutions of the $M$-LSRI
system by using the Hirota's direct method and explore its propagation
dynamics. Also, we study the features of dark soliton collisions.
