Dude Movie First Review on X (formerly Twitter)
#Dude A very Pradeep Ranganathan coded film. The hidden conflict was a great strategic move. The first and second halves sit on completely opposite sides of the spectrum. Though predictable at times, it’s more than watchable. I liked it, though people may differ.
#Dude – Oorum Blood song visuals was pure bliss! Pradeep & Mamitha chemistry was so cute
#Dude First Half
#PradeepRanganathan’s intro & title card placement
Special title card for Supreme Star Sarathkumar
Mamitha shines in emotional scenes, Pradeep delivers in his signature style
Sarathkumar dominates the pre-interval block
Overall A Good first half with a neat screenplay from
#Dude A Mid Rom-Com with a Fairly Engaging First Half but a Lackluster Second Half! The film hits all the familiar beats of a typical rom-com. The first half starts off a bit slow but picks up well toward the pre-interval, ending with a well-executed interval block….
Dude – Winner! What a fabulous debut for @Keerthiswaran_ A proper Gen Z rom-com @SaiAbhyankkar BGM & songs are a major plus, Both PR & Mamitha were perfect in their roles Much needed social message said in the most entertaining way
#Dude First half started with a Slow track and unexpected Interval block! Second half kicks banger with firey start with twist and turns in the climax!
Verdict
Overall, Pradeep Ranganathan and Mamitha Baiju led Dude to receive mixed to positive word of mouth from the viewers. The film has grossed a solid Rs 3.5 Cr+ in advance booking for opening day, which clearly indicates it will perform quite well on opening day.
