Dear Vaappi is a 2023 Indian Malayalam Language film directed by Shan Thulasi.

[16] The film was released on 17 February 2023 in theatres and started Over-the-top media service stream on 13 April 2023 on ManoramaMAX.

[17] Princy Alexander critic from Onmanorama stated that "However, while 'Dear Vaappi' has some interesting and feel-good moments, the excitement factor is slightly missing.

[19] Shilpa S critic from OTTplay gave 2.5 out of 5 and stated that "With its cliched, predictable story, black and white characters, and an insipid script, Dear Vaapi has very little to keep viewers engaged.

But despite its mediocrity, the film does have a few bright spots in its third act, which tries to hold a mirror to the plight of entrepreneurs in the initial stage of setting up their businesses.
