There's only so much the actors can do with a script that started off boldly but blinked when it mattered most. Go to Full Review

There are a few moments between father and son which feel as if something real is going on...but the rest of it is clunky and contrived, and the sudden switch between moods-from dad being foe to friend-feels too hurried. Go to Full Review
Namrata Joshi The Hindu Dec 8, 2017
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. Go to Full Review

Dear Dad is pleasant, brave and fresh to begin with ... there is just not enough of anything in the film and only so much the endearing Arvind Swamy can do for it. Go to Full Review

Even though it means well, I can't even end the review by saying that Dear Dad could have been so much more. It couldn't have. Go to Full Review
Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in Dec 8, 2017
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. Go to Full Review
