Out of the three prominent Diwali releases in Tamil, Dude has been dominating at the box office. After making an opening of Rs 22 crore worldwide on first day, the film’s collection during two days is Rs 31 crore, as per Sacnilk report. Dude grossed close to Rs 20 crore in India, with majority of share coming from Tamil Nadu's net earnings. However, the film has managed to maintain its opening day collection, of making Rs 10 crore each. Dude is also highest opening for Pradeep so far, and has surpassed Love Today and Dragon on first day.
Dude is yet to witness the Diwali break, which falls on Monday. Given the youthful appeal of the film, and presence of actors like Pradeep and Mamitha who have a huge fan following, Dude is expected to capitalise the festive weekend. However, one has to wait and watch if Dude will exceed Pradeep’s last film Dragon which made Rs 100 crore.
