Reception
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]
