Dude Movie X Review

An X handle that goes by the name, mentioned, "#Dude first half review: Pradeep and Mamitha did well. The story is neither too funny nor too serious, but holds okay. The interval feels similar to a Telugu movie. The mood is decent for the second half. #PradeepRanganathan #DudeMovie #DudeTrailer #Mamitha."

A user described the movie as "more than watchable." "A very Pradeep Ranganathan coded film. The hidden conflict was a great strategic move. The first and second halves sit on completely opposite sides of the spectrum. Though predictable at times, it’s more than watchable. I liked it, though people may differ," wrote the user.

"Decent second half with a complicated relationship. There’s humor throughout the film. Pradeep and Mamitha nailed it. BGM and music feels fresh throughout the film. The debut director picked a good story and weaved it with an engaging screenplay. The emotions in the last 20 mins land like all Pradeep’s films. This one will be a super hit. #Dude," reads another X post.
