    A differently made brilliant movie!

    "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.

    An intriguing plot very well portrayed!

    Dear Friend has a gripping story, beautifully made and exceptionally enacted by a bunch of young actors.

    Most of the characters were so realistic and one could connect to their friendship.

    An abrupt beginning and end for a movie is something that we are not very used to. But I think that's the beauty of this movie.

    Overall a good watch!

    Useless movie

    Boring to watch , except for a brief portion in the second half. At least if the role was likable such as in Mayanadhi, the search would have been more connecting to audience.

    I dont know why Tovino chooses bombs like this over and over!

    Darshana is getting boring with the exact same "realistic" acting in every single movie!

    A beautiful unconventional movie.

    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.

    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.
