Dude continues to draw crowds in Tamil Nadu, where it has crossed ₹40 crore gross already. The Diwali holiday boost helped on day 4, but weekdays show a natural dip. Overseas, North America has added about $500K so far.
Pradeep’s charm as the lead keeps things engaging. Mamitha’s role adds freshness to the story of childhood friends turning lovers. Music by Sai Abhyankkar gets thumbs up too.
With positive vibes, Dude might hold through the week. Competition is tough, but its light tone could help.
