Hello friends, nowadays Tamil cinema produces lots of different genres of movies that do not only focus on action and drama, which means audiences have better options to utilize their hard-earned money. We hear big director names frequently, like S. S. Rajamouli, Prashanth Neel, and Nelson Dilipkumar, but director Praveen K. Mani goes one step ahead to fulfill audiences' requirements. He comes with Dear Radhi, a low-budget movie that becomes popular, especially among Gen Z, where Saravana Vickram, Hasli Amaan, Rajesh Balachandiran, Sai Dinesh Badram, and Yuvraj Subramaniyan appear on the screen.

First half is a mixture of drama, suspense, and some comedy moments where Saravana and Vickram steal the show with their simplicity and dialogues revolving around girls, like it is very tough to understand women and why girls don't share feelings openly like boys and more. If you're in a relationship and want to come, I think Dear Radhi is best for you. While the other side's second half is the combination of drama, action, and romance.

Saravana Vickram, who started his career as a YouTuber, appears in this movie, where he plays the role of Madhan. In the first half, his performance is outstanding, like a person who has many questions regarding girls, while on the other side, Hasli Amaan has done a good job with a noteworthy performance. M. S. Jones Rupert's background music is the backbone of this movie, while Lokesh Elangovan's cinematography is decent.
