Context
Why does this story matter?
In recent times, Bollywood is churning out films that are mostly remakes of previously released South Indian movies.
Dear Dia gets added to that list.
Moreover, its original, Dia, had received critical accolades mostly because of Ashoka's style of filmmaking, which was said to be a "brave new style sans the commercial staples."
Since Ashoka is helming Dear Dia too, expectations are high.
Trailer
What does the trailer show?
The film's trailer introduces us to the brewing romance between Rohit (Ujjwal Sharma) and Dia (Mihika Kushwaha in her debut outing).
All is well until an accident kills Rohit. Enters Aadi and things get better for a heavily-depressed Dia.
A melodious score dominates the background.
The romantic drama focuses on love, loss, and longing and so it seems, Dear Dia will appeal to youngsters.
