Arvind Swamy’s father son drama should not be missed!

Critic ReviewRating: 8.0 / 10
Definitely watch it for it will broaden your mind about homosexuality and how it is not a choice but just a preference people are born with. It will definitely inspire more people in India to come of the closet and embrace their true nature without shame. Do not miss this film!
‘Dear Dad’, this could have been a better movie
Review by: Scroll.In
Critic ReviewRating: 0.0 / 10
The movie wants to say something poignant and profound about the need for sons to accept their father’s decisions, but it doesn’t have the material to do so. Still waters are meant to run deep, but in Dear Dad, they remain still.
Cuts to the chase too quickly

The slow and steady passage from love to hatred and pride would have been a profound and poignant journey that the film doesn’t quite embark on. It’s in too much of a hurry to reach nowhere.The slow and steady passage from love to hatred and pride would have been a profound and poignant journey that the film doesn’t quite embark on.

What If Your Dad Is Gay?

Critic ReviewRating: 7.0 / 10
Luckily Dear Dad is strong enough to withstand extraneous attacks. It is a strong subject and a potentially powerful film replete with the tenderness and brutality that those whom we love tend to thrust on us when pushed to the wall.
Could have been so much more

The obvious generation gap serves as a father's gentle initiation into his boy's universe: Nitin talks about 'Donkey Kong' and reminisces about floppy disks and cheat codes, while his son plays a snazzy new cellphone game.
This Arvind Swamy-starrer is well-intentioned, but loses steam eventually

Swamy, whose Hindi film roles include Bombay (1995) and Raja Ko Rani Se Pyaar Ho Gaya (2000), brings some import to his part, and shares a gentle and believable camaraderie with Sharma. But there’s only so much the actors can do with a script that started off boldly but blinked when it mattered most.
Very good screen play

Critic ReviewRating: 6.0 / 10
The movie clearly depicts the emotional relationship of a father and a son. The story is very new and refreshing. The movie gone in a cool way with mixed confessions between the father and son. The flick is very good and worth watching with your family.
It’s good to see Arvind Swamy back again

There are a few moments between father and son which feel as if something real is going on in this Arvind Swamy film.
