The trailer for Dude was released a while ago. In what seems to be a new-age rom-com, Pradeep Ranganathan gets to dominate in terms of both screen space and mind space. Indulging in screwball, goofy comedy is something he revels in here. Love Today had a similar vibe at first, but its second half was wholesome in terms of a storyline.
A complaint is that Premalu fame Mamitha Baiju doesn't get to do much in the trailer, although her role might be significant in the story. If she doesn't get her due share in terms of screen space, her admirers are going to complain. After all, she is on the cusp of stardom.
Directed by Keerthiswaran, Dude has a surprise cast in the form of DJ Tillu fame Neha Shetty. Also featuring veteran actor R Sarath Kumar, the film also features Hridhu Haroon, Rohini, Aishwarya sharma, and Dravid Selvam.
Since Mythri Movie Makers is producing this Tamil-Telugu release, the production values were always expected to be superior. The visuals, though, hint at some degree of unconventionality. The edit pattern, too, is not regular.
Sai Abhyankkar's songs have been too Anirudh-esque. One hopes the BGM is original.
Dude will head to theatres on October 17th.
