Dear Sathya is a 2022 Indian Kannada-language film directed by Shiva Ganesh and produced by Santhosh Kumar.[1]
While tracing the protagonist's path through the hustle and bustle of a busy life and his attempts to realise his goals Sathya tells the untold story of qa common man and the people in his immediate surroundings.
The film was released on 10 March 2022.[2] [3]
Cinema Express rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote "However, the director, who has tackled a realistic subject, does get carried away with the commercial elements. With neat performances, the film could have made for a crisp thriller if the repetitive scenes were cut short."[4]
Harish Basavarajaiah for The Times of India wrote "While the filmmaker has tried to create a unique story, there are some questions that remain unanswered even at the end of the film. This is where the film lags a little."[5]
A Sharadhaa from The New Indian Express rated the film 3 stars of 5 stars and wrote "Director Shiva Ganesh, who proved his directorial capabilities with the remake of Jigarthanda in Kannada, has done a good job with Dear Sathya. However, the director, who has tackled a realistic subject, does get carried away with the commercial elements."[6]
OTTPlay reviews and wrote " Dear Sathya is based on a story that Santhosh wrote inspired by a real-life incident."[7]
