Dude Box Office Collection: The latest Pradeep Ranganathan-Mamitha Baiju starer Tamil film Dude has launched itself into theaters with scorching Day-1 collection. This is a Diwali special release, drawing huge crowds and once again proving Pradeep’s place as one of the most bankable young stars in Tamil cinema.
The first trade reports showed that Dude earned about ₹7.5-8 crore on its opening day in Tamil Nadu alone and is registering its name as one of the biggest openings for a mid-budget Tamil film in the year 2025. Both morning and evening shows reported nearly full houses in Chennai, Coimbatore, and Madurai. Families and youngsters have flocked into theaters, giving good public talk to the film.
Regarded as a family entertainer, the film blends romance and comedy with heart-touching moments. The audience can see Pradeep Ranganathan’s charming screen presence and Mamitha Baiju’s cute approach. The critics spoke about a relatable story, a crisp writing made into a presentation, and a social message on love and relationship beyond caste and status.
Catchy tracks by composer Sai Abhyankar brought about the festive mood, while critics put praise on the directorial work of Keerthiswaran and the cinematography of Niket Bommi. It is presented in such bright light that it is made more appealing for a Diwali watch for all ages.
Such an opening was backed up with word-of-mouth acclamation and further expanded too over the weekend. Given the continuing trend, by Sunday, it potentially can torch the ₹25 crore mark to be another blockbuster for Pradeep Ranganathan.
