Very rare we get to see this kind of movies in Gujarati..the direction was of top level and about acting its the master himself mr pareshbhai..the movies goes in a good pace and from the start it keeps you on toes..the thrill was very exciting along with the climax with a good message

A proud for Gujarati film industry.

Heartwarming, Awesome movie. Paresh Rawal makes you laugh a lot. Amazing performance by whole team.

Good to watch movie with strong and emotional message at the end.

Absolutely Brilliant!

I expected to be crime thriller but it turned out something else. There is a lot of suspense which is maintained throughout the movie. But in the end it became lame as the message that this film wanted to convey wasn't that impactful.

"Dear Father" is a touching Gujarati film that explores the complexities of family relationships, featuring a standout performance by Paresh Rawal.

The movie's strength lies in its excellent concept, which sheds light on aspects of life often overlooked. Through heartfelt storytelling, it prompts viewers to reflect on their own relationships and appreciate the intricacies of family bonds.

The emotional depth of "Dear Father" resonates long after the credits roll, leaving a lasting impact on the audience. It's a testament to the power of Gujarati cinema to deliver meaningful narratives that tug at the heartstrings and provoke introspection.

Overall, "Dear Father" is a must-watch for its compelling storyline, superb performances, and insightful exploration of family dynamics. It stands out as a gem in Gujarati cinema, showcasing the potential of regional films to captivate and inspire audiences.

The movie is based on the age old Indian premise that a son has to put his father on a pedestal and worship him even when he disrespects your partner at every possible opportunity ( a PhD , gold medallist maths teacher should cook ) , accuse her of infidelity ( just because she comes home at 11 one night) and tries to destroy your relationship. The father character is unbelievably dislikable and hard to empathise with. Then enters the moral police ( literally) who decides to teach some lessons to the couple for not worshipping their father. He does this by leveling false accusations of suicide and murder and what not. In the end, the kids understand their mistake , bring back their father who will now continue to torture them for the rest of his life. Oh also, the couple decides to withdraw their case against the moral police officer because apparently they needed that lesson. Unbelievable!
