## Release

[edit]

The Times of India gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and stated that "Dear Dad deserves a watch simply for the profound point it makes about accepting people for who they are and loving them unconditionally".[3] The Hindustan Times gave the film a rating of three-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "Luckily, “Dear Dad” is strong enough to withstand extraneous attacks. It is a strong subject and a potentially powerful film replete with the tenderness and brutality that those whom we love tend to thrust on us when pushed to the wall".[4] The Hindu wrote that "So once the disclosure is over and done with there’s nothing else to keep you hooked, Arvind Swamy’s pleasing presence and earnest effort notwithstanding".[5]
