Dear Comrade has already created a huge buzz among fans and cinephiles. The trailer of the film has received humongous response from the audience. As per trade pundits, the movie is poised for a thunderous opening upon its release. Dear Comrade is an intense story revolving around Rashmika and Vijay’s characters.
