The narrative of Dude centers on two children who have known each other since they were young: Agan (played by Pradeep) and Kural (played by Mamitha). Unexpected family secrets are revealed, and Kural's marriage proposal to Agan changes their course in life. Rohini and Sarathkumar are important characters in the movie.

The movie's star power is further enhanced by the important roles played by seasoned actors Sarath Kumar and Neha Shetty. The box office figures, which highlight the film's appeal to viewers worldwide, amply demonstrate Mythri Movie Makers' faith in the concept.

Pradeep Ranganathan sees this as yet another example of his expanding impact in Tamil cinema, juggling writing, directing, and acting while continuously winning over viewers at the box office.
