Analysis:
‘DeAr’ is a film about sorting out differences between couple to make their marriage work. Director Anand Ravichandran comes up with a honest subject which reflects noble intentions. Even though the core point is about snoring problem, it projects greater cause that to make a marriage work, both individuals must evolve and understand each other’s flaws. The film focuses on various societal issues such as divorce and family prestige, which resulted in less humour.
Good music especially background score which elevates the scenes by GV Prakash Kumar, Jagadeesh Sundaramurthy’s cinematography effectively capturing the essence of the story along with fairly engaging drama gives a refreshing take on relationships made this ‘DeAr’ work to major extent. Kripakaran Rukesh’s editing could have been better.
Rating: 3/5
