It is the story of a gay son who due to the obligations of social stigma decides to move out of the country and disconnects himself from a family with the fear of disapproval of his sexuality. When he comes back home due to his father’s demise, post rituals, he finds a letter in his father’s closet addressed to him. The letter unfolds the narrative of the father’s love and an explanation towards the odds of their relationship & unpleasant memories in the past.
Directed by Ramnath Shanbhag, Dear Bhargava leans on a strong ensemble — Mahesh Bung, Aruna Balaraj, Sunder Veena — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2021.
