Sometimes, it feels like some films deserve better fortune. Completely ignoring this over-rated/under-rated stuff that leaps in vacation time on Twitter., I'm now talking about a film that has offered so many good things. So. Let's begin.

A Thread about #DearComrade.
The first scene of the film is actually, pretty different from the tenacity of the whole narrative. I guess with this scene, the director attempted to intrigue the audience and tried to explicate that the "failed-love-obsession-phase" is just a passing cloud.
Telugu Cinema had been a vibrant empathizer of Communism in the '80s and '90s, with the emergence of Narsing Rao, T Krishna, and R Narayana Murthy. I'm glad that the Marxism angle is explored (at least in a limited space) in Dear Comrade.
And Vijay's name in the film Chaitanya!
A comrade is the one who stands for justice, for you and all. I liked the way the hero's character is dealt with. He is portrayed subversive, but also with the one with anger-management issues.
Lilly's introduction scene. 😍
Lilly and Bobby's scenes are refreshing for me. There is a kind of cutesy tone to them. Though the situations are extremely novel, yet, you fall in love with 'em sorts. Especially, Lilly is written/dealt very gracefully, I can watch the scenes she appears for n times. :)
I wish the "Comrade" scenes are done with more vigor and intensity. Not that I'm complaining or anything. For the people, whether you are not informed about details, you can look there's a Sri Sri's picture (In Pic 1) and M.N Roy and Puchalapalli Sundarayya's photos (Pic 4).
Okay, now, I can sense how my friends and family were having laughs listening to my poetry. :(
The word "Comrade" also faces the ironic surge. Anyways, the definition of the term or the interpretation of the director was deep and poetic. :)
I don't like seeking politics in films, but Dear Comrade has a graceful gaze. The women are often not given a character that has vigor and voice. Lilly treated as an underdog and proving her merit in the next scene, I think this is a rare occasion. What's say?
Answer with your heart? Isn't this the most precious moment in Telugu Cinema?
I guess it's with respect, the love blossoms. Bobby, who usually treats Lilly like a kid, would distance himself and watches her with what you call that? "Awe", I guess. Yeah.
"Nee Neeli Kannuloni" song is Pure Love, I tell you. Very nicely shot, a proper mix of nice music, romance, and poetry. 😍
Gira Gira is again the sweetest song. The visuals are breezy and pleasant.
The question that Lilly asks, and the way Bobby persuades her. Followed by Kadalalle song, Aha. This is called jubilance for a genre lover like myself. The song is an ecstasy, I mean in the true literal sense.
Like Bobby repented at the beginning of the film, "why Love makes our life happier when it comes, and when it leaves, it makes you emptier". Impulsion can make shield any relationship. Of course, it comes with maturity. :)
I need to say, the parts which cherish in the film are about to begin. One of the most comprehensive lessons to the depressed souls... never search for answers in your rooms. Seek them in nature through journeys, and conversations.
I don't understand medicine, but I truly believe our brain responds to love. This scene came to be a shocker, and nobody could ever imagine or expect somebody to be in such a condition. And cutting the crap, I assume humiliation, abuse is the most despicable form of violence.
I liked the eloquence of the director, especially when Bobby says cheers with his Coke tin. (pic 2). Bobby, who is now transformed, gives the same medicine to traumatized Lilly. Air on the face, Heights, Greens all the sides, And Yeah, I'm talking about nature.
This is such a cute scene. And also, the scene which states the current temperament of Bobby. He is now mature, totally transformed from the Angry Young Comrade.
Oh, yeah the term Comrade remains the same, I guess.
Another important nuance that explicates Cricket is no more a part of Lilly's life. The reason is kept in suspense, though. I liked the way Telugu directors have evolved, such scenes in the past used to be unapologetically dramatic with overwhelming implications and heavy music.
Another light subtlety of what the lead characters are expecting from each other. Bobby has gained a lot of restraint, perhaps. After the distress, certainly, All Lilly needs is a taste of immense compassion.
Another witness for Bobby's transformation. Lilly tries to emphasize and relive the moments, Bobby just ignores. He behaves like there's nothing in between in them. Perhaps, I'm restraining myself to say Bobby has become a bit Corporate. Just Saying.
The most affecting part of the film. It should make people uncomfortable because this is not normal, it is evil af. I wish a lot of people felt the pain of Lilly, after all, it was real. It is all the way around, we are just neglecting both such crimes and the human inside us.
Ahaa.
The Comrade is Back! đŸ˜ŽđŸ”„đŸ”„
The pain and distress. Much of society doesn't ask to fight or rebel, it advises you to excuse and forget. Here both the spirit of Bobby and the agony of Lilly are appropriate. Perhaps, even her father's worry, as again the society has no respect for vociferous fighters.
The position of the song is actually a well-thought screenplay decision. Of course, one needs a heartfelt edge before the climax of the romance. Beautifully shot. Especially, Rashmika performed really well (Pic 2). There's so much truth in the shot.
Repeat after me.
Love and Compassion >> Any other thing in this world.
The pinnacle of Dear Comrade is this scene. We fantasize about breaking all the barriers within a minute, but that's the job impulse. But rational anger takes a long time, my friend. Once it emerges, there's no looking back. You conquer your destiny! Yes.
This is the fate of our society's stunning progress. Dreams dwell in the darkest corners. The believers will lose faith, & the fortune is a distant illusion.

Just Saying.
What a beauty it is! More the scene, I loved what Bobby says to Lilly, "Today I saw Aparna Devi." Ah. Classic touch. The final message is, "Don't give an evil a chance to capture your destiny, It tries, but you fight. Again and again. And Triumph."
Haan. Thoda emotional ho gaya.
Honestly, I feel the greatest impact of the film, according to me was, Rashmika. I don't know how many will agree with this, but Lilly was a revelation. I wish many such characters are written in Telugu Cinema. It is big time. :)
Visuals Appreciation Tweet - The visuals that offer stories are the most valued. Yep.
