The movie ‘Dude’, produced by Mythri Movie Makers, has escalated its box office journey from a Diwali ‘Blast’ to a certified blockbuster, officially breaching the prestigious 100 Crore gross worldwide mark. The film’s lead, ‘The Sensational’ Pradeep Ranganathan, acknowledged the massive success on October 23rd, sharing a victorious note: “#Dude 100 Cr+. Thankyou :)” as the movie continues to run successfully in theatres globally. This milestone firmly establishes ‘Dude’ as one of the most successful ventures of the year.
Record Ticket Sales and Sensational Sunday Bookings
The film’s unparalleled popularity is further substantiated by its staggering ticket sales. Mythri Movie Makers proudly announced on October 26th that an astonishing 1.4 MILLION+ TICKETS were sold on the BookMyShow platform alone for #Dude. They highlighted a “sensational Sunday loading with superb bookings all over”, urging fans to secure their tickets. This figure indicates the massive theatrical footfall and high demand for the film, solidifying its position as a major cinematic draw.
A Decade of Cinema Dreams and a ‘Hat-trick’ Success
The celebrations extended beyond box office numbers. On October 26th, Mythri Movie Makers penned a heartfelt tribute to Pradeep Ranganathan, celebrating his cinema journey which began 10 years ago. Quoting an old tweet from the actor on October 7th, 2015, with the hashtag #CinemaDreams, the production house stated: “This ride has been special, thanks to collabs with many incredible talents like you… Dear @pradeepeonelife, wishing you greater heights, bigger successes and more collaborations together.”
Furthermore, Pradeep Ranganathan shared his personal joy on October 27th, thanking his fans for the success, noting: “Thankyou for the Hat-trick :)”. This ‘hat-trick’ likely refers to a third consecutive box-office success or major career milestone, cementing his place as a commercially successful star.
Music Adds to the Chartbuster Success
Adding another feather to its cap, the film’s music has also become a massive hit. The ‘Dude’ Jukebox (Tamil), featuring an original score by Sai Abhyankkar, was released on October 27th and immediately dubbed a “chartbuster.” The successful music, featuring tracks like ‘Oorum Blood’, ‘Vallara’, ‘Kannukkulla’, and ‘Mary More’, has contributed significantly to the overall buzz and success of the film.
