What Dude does with this half-decent concept is so over the top that subtlety doesn’t stand a chance.

While Pradeep scores not only in the humour part but also in the emotional sequences, Mamitha displays a range of expressions, especially when she is caught in a tug-of-war like situation during a wedding. Their chemistry is what makes Dude tick.

2.5/5

Dude is ultimately a one-time watch, a film that starts off with breezy fun but loses its charm in a meandering, uneven second half.

Keethiswaran does a stellar job of using tried-and-tested tropes where needed but also flipping stereotypes on their head when it comes down to it.

For all its energy and charm, Dude keeps tripping over its own mixed messaging, torn between being mature and still sticking to outdated tropes it pretends to challenge.

As a gen z I kinda like this movie but not as good as Dragon or Premalu there were some parts of the second half which I didn’t really like.

A brilliant film that touches on relationships, marriages, and honor killings, in a neat and packaged commercial way! Director Keerthiswaran has earned my warm welcome to Tamil cinema/Indian cinema as a whole! Along with outstanding performances from Pradeep Ranganathan, Mamitha Baiju, Supreme Star Sarathkumar sir, and all the other cast members!! Plus, Sai Abhyankkar's music was top-notch, he is here to stay!

The movie works well in places. The first half was quite interesting. Few lags in second half, but was engaging.
