Pradeep's Dude Inches Towards Hundred Crore Mark in Just 5 Days

Every now and then, a film sneaks in like a cool breeze, and Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dude is doing just that. Even with stiff competition in the Telugu and Tamil markets, this rom-com has grabbed people’s attention and isn’t letting go. Directed by newcomer Keerthiswaran, the film pairs Pradeep with Mamitha Baiju, whose energy and charm add extra fun to the mix.

Latest updates show Dude has raked in around ₹95 crore globally in just five days and is on track to cross ₹100 crore soon. Hitting back-to-back ₹100 crore numbers this early in his career is no joke, and trade circles, along with fans, are buzzing about it.

What’s interesting is that the film is holding strong despite big releases around it. Audiences are loving its blend of humor, romance, and moments they can relate to, still slow in the second half. Sai Abyankkar’s music only adds more life to the story. Word of mouth is working overtime, and every day, more people are getting curious and joining in the fun.

The supporting cast, Sarathkumar, Hridhu Haroon, Rohini, and Aishwarya Sharma, all bring extra depth and energy, making the story feel complete. Dude’s early success proves that Pradeep Ranganathan is quickly becoming a crowd-puller across South India. If the momentum sticks, this rom-com could end up as one of the year’s biggest hits and set a high bar for his future projects.
