Pradeep Ranganathan’s latest Tamil romantic comedy, Dude, continues to impress audiences, achieving notable box office numbers in its opening weekend.
Box Office Performance
Released on October 17, Dude has earned over ₹52 crore worldwide by Day 3. The film made around ₹36.25 crore in India and ₹15.75 crore from international markets. This is a significant milestone for Ranganathan, surpassing the opening weekend earnings of his previous films.
Audience Reception
Despite mixed reviews from critics, the chemistry between the leads and the film’s Gen Z appeal have resonated with viewers. The strong turnout, particularly during the Diwali holiday period, has contributed to its box office success.
Looking Ahead
As Dude enters its second week, it faces competition from other festive releases. However, its strong performance and positive audience reception suggest that it may continue to do well at the box office.
