While other Diwali releases have received mixed to negative reviews, Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dude is emerging as the clear winner at the box office.
Produced by Mythri Movie Makers and directed by Keerthiswaran, the film which impressed critics and audience alike has opened to a good start.
On its first day, Dude recorded an impressive 235.64K ticket bookings on BookMyShow, which is the highest among all festival releases.
Co-starring Mamitha Baiju, the film is packed with youth-centric elements and trademark Pradeep Ranganathan humor, while its emotional core strikes a chord with family audiences as well.
The film’s bookings have even surpassed the peak-hour sales of several big-budget releases this year, underscoring the craze and excitement around Dude.
Dude has crossed $300K in ticket sales in North America and is well on track to hit the half-million mark.
With a long Diwali weekend ahead, the momentum is only expected to build, setting the stage for a highly successful run at the box office.
