Vijay Deverakonda has three blockbusters Pelli Chupulu, Arjun Reddy and Geetha Govindam to his credit, which earned him immense following among the college going youth.
However, he couldn't capitalize on Geetha Govindam's success due to a couple of ill-timed releases like NOTA and Taxiwala.
Dear Comrade is the film that should have come after Geetha Govindam. Vijay is aware that this film's performance will decide his range as a star.
If Vijay pulls off another blockbuster then he will not be considered as tier 2 hero anymore and will directly go into the next league of stars.
If Dear Comrade's range is restricted to medium range then he will have to wait for some more films to reach there.
Dear Comrade is releasing today amid high expectations. It is set for a grand opening in overseas markets and A centers across Telugu states.
The film deals with a sensitive concept like women getting harassed at workplace. It has cricket and college backdrops with Rashmika playing a highly emotional role.
Can Dear Comrade strike a chord with the target audience?
