Dude on OTT: 5 reasons to stream the film
A romantic drama that keeps laughs coming
At the heart of Dude, the film is a romantic drama about unrequited love. When two first cousins and childhood best friends begin to look at the other through the lens of romance, the conflict for Dude begins, as it sets the stage for what’s coming. However, the film balances these emotions with the laughs and comedic timing of the actors, making Dude a film that will humour you at some level.
A hidden social message
Dude makers had smartly managed to not let out a crucial social message tucked into the narrative. The film addresses the concept of the right to love, and how the conflict of the film arises from the denial of the basic right. With milking the concept, Dude wraps an entertaining writing around the film, with the core idea being reiterated further during the climax.
