Dear Friend

"Dear friend" is a distinctively different take on the usual plot progressions and frameworks that we are accustomed to, in the typical Malayalam movies. It is a technically brilliant movie which takes you through a story, that stays very true to its soul. Yes, it is not everyone's cup of tea, but it might appeal to the ones that appreciate the art in its true sense.

Dear Friend is truly a realistic movie and a different approach in Malayalam film industry.

All the characters played was strongly portrayed and beautifully executed.

Ending was not what I would have predicted but somehow I felt that ending was perfect because it was more realistic. Unusual way of climax is something keeping this movie stand out.

'Dear Friend' is a story of 6 individuals and their friendship. Each of them have their own unique personalities and the actors did a great job in portraying it.

The movie flows in its own pace and doesn't force anything, even comedy. All the moments feel natural and even the climax was saved of any plotholes in a bid to create a shock twist. Although I agree that it may not be everyone's cup of tea.

From a performance point of view, Basil Joseph really shines bright. While being the comedic relief at times, he is equally adept at pulling off more serious moments.

I will definitely recommend it to anyone who loves movies that leaves an impression on you once you leave the theatre.

Friendships are explored in relation to real-life challenges that people face. Many people who live in cities can relate to this feeling. The cinematography is fantastic. The acting was so natural. A film that should be kept separate from all other recent releases. This is a serious drama picture.

A well written drama about friendship with some strange events in the plot point which added a mystery feel to the movie. Fabulous performance by all the actors. Strongly recommend.
