Relatable Movie

#DearFriend one word is RELATABLE in most of the scenes !! Malayalam film industry has given much more and better tribute to Bengaluru and Karnataka than Kannada film industry !!! @ttovino @darshanarajend

The Emotional Factors

#DearFriend will remain as one of d few movies which I enjoyd personally but wont recommend to othrs.

Its emotional, manipulative n haunting

As a fan of plots which might show an abrupt end but leaves clues enough throughout, this one works pretty well@ttovino wat a performance. pic.twitter.com/wy4AJc3e0f

Worth-Watching

Wathed #DearFriend . Loved the movie. Movie is slow but the movie demands it. @ttovino got into that character and can relate to him. Give it a try #DearFriendOnNetflix a story of friendship with an element of thriller.
