(Screengrab @youTube | Preview) Dude Box Office Collection Day 3: After an energetic opening weekend, Dude—the Tamil-language romantic action comedy starring Pradeep Ranganathan and Mamitha Baiju—experienced light on a Sunday. Dude Box Office Collection Day 3 According to early estimates, the film earned ₹6.7 crore on Day 3, taking its total Indian net collection to ₹26.75 crore. The film opened on a promising note with ₹9.75 crore on Friday, followed by a modest 5.6% jump on Saturday, when collections rose to ₹10.3 crore. However, Sunday’s figure marks a drop of nearly 35% compared to Day 2, indicating a mixed trend for the Keerthiswaran directorial as it enters the crucial weekdays. Dude Worldwide Box Office Collection The Pradeep Ranganathan movie, which released on October 17 in Tamil and Telugu just before Diwali, has done a worldwide business of ₹45 crore gross during its 3-day run in theatres. Out of this total, ₹18.25 crore gross came from the overseas market and the remaining ₹26.75 crore gross was minted in the domestic market. Mythri Movie Makers, the production house bankrolling the film, shared it on X. They captioned the post and wrote, “DUDE DIWALI BLAST is unstoppable at the box office with massive love from the audience ❤️ #Dude collects a gross of 45 CRORES WORLDWIDE in 2 days and going super strong ❤ (sic).” Regional performance Tamil Nadu continued to drive Dude’s earnings, with Chennai recording 67% occupancy and Pondicherry 63%, while other strongholds such as Coimbatore (48%) and Trichy (65.5%) reflected steady audience turnout. However, metropolitan regions outside the South – such as Mumbai (18.5%) and the NCR (36%) – received a relatively lukewarm response, suggesting that the film’s appeal remains largely regional. More About Dude Dude, produced by Mythri Movie Makers, has been praised for its blend of breezy humour, youthful energy and Pradeep’s trademark boy-next-door charisma. Social media chatter continues to highlight the movie’s catchy soundtrack by Sai Abhyankkar and its slick visuals captured by Niketh Bommi, though some critics have pointed out the pacing issues in the second half. With weekday drops expected, Dude will rely heavily on positive word-of-mouth to maintain momentum before the Diwali releases start hitting theatres. If it gets a steady hold throughout the week, the film could emerge as a moderate hit, further strengthening Pradeep Ranganathan’s box office credibility as both a star and storyteller.
