Sarathkumar.^[5] Regarding his performance, a critic wrote, "Arjun Lal can be proud of his persuasive voice, apart from that he doesn't hold much promise for the future, as his presence, despite being the lead, is remembered for a completely ill-fitting hair style".^[6][7] He co-wrote the film Dear Friend (2022) with the duo Suhas-Sharfu, which was partly autobiographical about his life in Bengaluru while he was studying for an MBA.^[8] Regarding his writing and performance, a critic wrote that he has "penned a soothing friendship story filled with nostalgia, idiosyncrasies, laughter, fear, anxiety, tears and camaraderie" and that he amongst the ensemble cast made his character persuasive.^[9]
