Reception[]

Thadhagath Pathi of The Times of India gave a rating of 3 out of 5 and felt that the film is a faithful remake of its original. He added "Dear Megha is a well-shot film that’ll leave you disturbed – just what the makers intended. But how fair is it really to not delve further into Megha’s life is a question the audience can answer."[15] In contrast, Murali Krishna CH felt that film is not so efficient remake of Dia. He praised Megha's acting performance and film score.[16] The Hindu's Y Sunita Chowdhary commented that the film was neither great nor bad.[17]
