#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 pic.twitter.com/YlyAyzsjbq

About Dude trailer
The trailer shows Pradeep Ranganathan to be a youngster who is considered good-for-nothing by his uncle (played by Sarathkumar). The trailer shows Sarathkumar chiding Mamitha Baiju, who is seen constantly accompanying Pradeep in all that he does. The trailer and the dialogues in it give the impression that the story will revolve around a boy who isn't scared to take on the world and is ready to back his decisions once they are made. It gives the impression that the film will be occasionally funny and will look to showcase the mindset of youngsters today.
For instance, there is a scene in the film trailer that shows Mamitha Baiju asking him, "You keep getting into fights with this body. Tell me, can you bash up 10 people if they turn up?" To this, he replies, "Even if its a 100 men, I can take blows."
Pradeep Ranganathan, who has been delivering back-to-back successes with his latest offering, 'Dragon', going on to emerge a phenomenal blockbuster, will next be seen in this pan-India venture which is being produced by Mythri Movie Makers.
