    A unique tale of friendship and trust

    '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.

    Interesting movie..was a good watch

    I definitely enjoyed the movie. I can see why it did not do so well in theaters, this movie is apt for an OTT platform. The actors acted well, tthe storyline will not bore you and the ending is something I didn't expect but its a sensible ending. Reminded me of those days when we lived with friends 😊

    Unique Different Styled Movie

    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.

    Average.One Time Watchable

    Not a movie which need Theatre experience. Climax feeled like incomplete. But Cinematography and other stuffs,acting was awesome.

    Ita a story of a gang who finds their friend who left them without saying a word .

    Basil did a good job in humour in first half. But overall first half was little bit pathetic.

    2nd half seemed very interesting but the climax feels like incomplete .which was dissapointing.

    Another realistic gem from malayalam industry

    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.
