Production and release

[edit]

The film was initially titled Godhra but was changed to Dear Vikram in 2022 after the CBFC objected the title attributing its similarity to the Godhra riots.[3][4][5] The film began production in 2017, but only released in 2022 due to the delay caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[6][7][8] The film was shot in multiple Indian states and Malaysia.[9]

The film was to release in 2020 after shooting for most of the film was complete except for the introduction song.[10][11] The film streamed on Voot Select on 30 June 2022.[12][13]

Reception

[edit]

Muralidhara Khajane of The Hindu opined that "In his enthusiasm to address multiple burning socio-economic, cultural, religious and political issues in the span of one film, director Nandeesh seems to have lost his focus".[14] Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India said that "Dear Vikram could have been a film that could have raised interesting debates on the current political situation, but it ends up falling short as the tale seems too rushed between some unnecessary songs and sequences".[15] Jayadeep Jayesh of Deccan Herald called the film "a total misfire".[16][17]
