'Dear Dad': What if your dad is gay? ; Rating: ***1/2

While such moments reveal beautifully written lines, well-delivered by under-used actors, a whole episode involving Shivum's attempts to find a "cure" for his father's homosexuality from a weird godman is so obtrusively out of step with the rest of the serene narrative that you wonder why any director would attempt to kill the impact of such an venturesome story with such tacky humour.
