Dear Vikram is a 2022 Indian Kannada-language action drama film directed by K. S. Nandheesh starring Sathish Ninasam and Shraddha Srinath.
[3][4][5] The film began production in 2017, but only released in 2022 due to the delay caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
[12][13] 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".
