After its successful run at the box office, Dude, starring Pradeep Ranganathan and Mamitha Baiju in the lead roles, is set to have its digital premiere. Earlier today, Netflix India announced through social media that the film will be available on the streaming platform from Friday, November 14, onwards. "One DUDE, one thousand problems, no solutions," wrote the streamer in the announcement post. The film, directed by Keerthiswaran, will be available for streaming in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.
Dude tells the story of two relatives (Pradeep and Mamitha) who start a new event-planning venture. When they get close together for the business venture, one of them falls in love with the other and proposes marriage to the latter, making their relationship complicated.
The film grossed more than 100 crore from theatres worldwide. It marked a third consecutive 100-crore-grosser for Pradeep, the first two being Love Today and Dragon. The film emerged as the winner in a box-office battle earlier this Diwali, minting more money from theatres worldwide as compared to Bison, starring Dhruv Vikram and directed by Mari Selvaraj, and Diesel starring Harish Kalyan and Athulya Ravi. However, it received mixed reviews from critics. While many appreciated its take on modern-day romance, some also criticised the film, especially its dialogues.
