Dude box office update

The post shared by the makers revealed that Dude has now crossed ₹66 crores at the global box office within 3 days of release. The caption read, “DUDE has owned the DIWALI season. #Dude collects a gross of 66 CRORES WORLDWIDE in 3 days.” With Diwali ahead, Dude is expected to continue its box office bonanza in the upcoming days and cross the ₹100 crore by the end of its first week easily.

About Dude

Dude was released in Tamil and Telugu. Sarathkumar, Rohini, Hridhun Haroon, Dravid Selvam, Neha Shetty, Satya, and others also star in it, alongside Pradeep and Mamitha. It tells the story of two youngsters who have known each other all their lives, Agan (Pradeep) and Kural (Mamitha), whose world changes after she proposes marriage to him.

The HT review praised the film for its fresh pairing and spin on the stereotypical romantic plot. “Keethiswaran does a stellar job of using tried-and-tested tropes where needed but also flipping stereotypes on their head when it comes down to it. The best part about Dude is that you think you know where it’s all heading, but your thought process is often challenged as the film goes along,” read an excerpt from the review.
