Dude Box Office Collection: Pradeep Ranganathan's latest outing, Dude, a Tamil romantic action comedy directed by debutant Keerthiswaran, has maintained its momentum into the second week of release. The film, which hit theaters on October 17, has recorded an estimated ₹66.8 crore net collection across India within 11 days, according to data from box office tracker Sacnilk.

When Kural falls in love with another man from a different caste, tensions escalate, leading to a series of confrontations that explore themes of love, loyalty, and moral conflict.
