Dear Death is a 2023 Indian Tamil-language romantic drama film directed by Prem Kumar and starring Santhosh Prathap, Jay and Smruthi in the lead roles. It was released on 6 January 2023.
The film was written by Sridhar Venkatesan, who had earlier made films such as 6 Athiyayam (2018) and Yen Peyar Anandhan (2020). He used the concept of showcasing the concept of 'death' as on-screen character, and used it as a hyperlink between four separate stories shown in the film. The film's first look poster was released by actor Vijay Sethupathi in August 2022.[1][2][3] Production on the film was completed by September 2022.[4][5] A trailer of the film was released in early December 2022.[6]
The makers attempted to release the film on 30 December 2022, and held a press show earlier that week, but the film was eventually delayed by a week owing to a lack of screens.[7][8][9]
The film was released on 6 January 2023 across Tamil Nadu. A critic form Thinaboomi gave the film a positive review, praising the film's concept.[10] A reviewer from Thanthi TV also presented a favourable review of the film.[11]
