On the positive side, the whole issue related to homosexuality has been handled in a matured manner. Nitin loves his son and has to send him to boarding school and on his way to the school he decides to reveal the truth to his son. After so many years of marriage, Nitin comes out of the closet and decides to reveal about his homosexuality to Shivam. 'Dear Dad' is a story of Nitin (Arvind Swamy) and his son Shivam (Himanshu Sharma). Thus the expectations are there but only for all those who have been waiting to see back their blue eyed hero Arvind Swamy.

Now, after almost two decades, he returns back to Hindi films in the form of 'Dear Dad'. Sadly, the failure of these films paused the celebrations and also shelved his film with Madhuri Dixit. The Hindi film directors also cashed in the popularity of Arvind Swamy in the form of films like 'Saat Rang KeSapnay' and 'Raja Ko Rani Se Pyaar Ho Gaya'. His popularity motivated few more film makers to dub more films like 'Sapnay', 'Maun' and 'Priyanka'.
