Dude Twitter review
Online reviews have been divided; some have praised the performances and emotional depth, while others have criticised the tone and storyline. One user wrote, “#Dude #DudeMovie #DudeReview 1st half was okayish but yebba what a kandravi 2nd half with a stupid concept. #PradeepRanganathan should stop playing the same sympathy character. Sarath is good. #MamithaBaiju acting is. But logicless and cringe story and screenplay. Skip! 0.5/5”

Others, however, valued the film’s humorous timing and emotional depth.
One wrote, “Decent second half with a complicated relationship. There’s humor throughout the film. Pradeep and Mamitha nailed it. BGM and music feel fresh throughout. The debut director picked a good story and wove it into an engaging screenplay. This one will be a super hit.”

A user described the film’s tone as distinctly “Pradeep Ranganathan-coded,” stating: “A very Pradeep Ranganathan coded film. The hidden conflict was a great strategic move. The first and second halves sit on completely opposite sides of the spectrum. Though predictable at times, it’s more than watchable. I liked it, though people may differ. 3.5/5”
