Dear Comrade

 This is a blockbuster of a movie that reminds me so much of the movie Arjun Reddy. I have not watched many of Rashmika Mandanna's movies and she is exceptionally good in this one. She looks pretty and has performed well. Lots of scope for her and Vijay Devarekonda in this movie and they did justice to their roles. A good message at the ends that tells us about having a special comrade in your life who will inspire you and help you realise your goals in life. They comrade can be your parents, friends or anyone special who believes in your potential and stands by your side in any and every circumstance.

The story line is full of drama, violence and romance. The first half is mostly all about the violence. Slowly we see the romance blooming between Vijay and Rashmika.The songs are beautiful and the background score is excellent. There are some amazing locations shown. I was happy to see Ladakh as it reminded me of my visit to that amazingly beautiful place.

Though this is a commercially successful film there are some incidents that have not been adequately portrayed. It is hurried in some parts and unnecessarily stretched in some. For me, there was too much violence in it. Drinking, smoking, riding bikes and two-wheelers without wearing helmets and getting off moving bikes is depicted.The movie could do without these too. All said and done, the lead pair are a delight to watch. I was happy to see Aparna Devi (Rashmika Mandanna) in the role of a state level cricket player. She is truly very expressive and performs with ease. Vijay Devarekonda was the right choice for this role. He easily moves from the angry young man to the romantic lover effortlessly. I am not a huge fan of Vijay Devarekonda but he does have an amazing screen presence. A good entertaining watch without doubt so don't miss this one.

'Dear Comrade' is streaming on Amazon Prime.
