Pradeep Ranganathan continues his winning streak at the box office with his latest release, Dude. The romantic drama, directed by Keerthiswaran and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, hit theatres on Friday and opened to positive word of mouth from audiences.
The film had a solid start, grossing around ₹20 crores on Day 1, which is three times higher than his debut hit Love Today and twice that of Dragon. By the end of Saturday, the film’s two-day total reached ₹40 crores, setting it up for a strong Diwali weekend. With Sunday and Monday being holidays, trade analysts expect the film’s momentum to continue.
If Dude crosses the ₹100-crore mark, it will mark Pradeep’s third consecutive century, a rare feat for a young, mid-range Tamil actor outside the superstar league.
Before turning actor, Pradeep Ranganathan made his directorial debut with Comali (2019), starring Jayam Ravi and Kajal Aggarwal, which was both a critical and commercial success. He later made his acting debut with Love Today (2022), which became a blockbuster, followed by Dragon (2025), a coming-of-age drama that also entered the ₹100-crore club.
Dude stars Pradeep Ranganathan, Mamitha Baiju, R. Sarath Kumar, Hridhu Haroon, and others, with music by Sai Abhynkar.
