Get ready for a Diwali dhamaka filled with romance, chaos, and comedy as Dude, the highly anticipated Tamil-language romantic action entertainer, lights up theaters on October 17, 2025. Directed and written by Keerthiswaran in his bold directorial debut, the film stars Pradeep Ranganathan and Mamitha Baiju in a heart-thumping, laughter-packed story that’s as explosive as the festival it releases on.

💥 Love Meets Madness in Dude

At its core, Dude follows Agan (Pradeep Ranganathan), a carefree young man whose impulsive decisions often land him in hilarious — and dangerous — situations. Enter Kural (Mamitha Baiju), a smart and fiery woman who turns his chaotic world upside down. What starts as a charming romance quickly spirals into a rollercoaster of misunderstandings, fights, and laugh-out-loud moments.

“Love isn’t war,” Agan says in one scene.“Then why do we both keep losing?” Kural fires back.

Their chemistry crackles with tension and tenderness — a blend that makes Dude both a romantic firecracker and a comedic knockout.

🎭 A Dazzling Cast

The film boasts a dynamic ensemble that adds both heart and humor:

Pradeep Ranganathan as Agan — the quirky lover with a heroic streak.
Mamitha Baiju as Kural — the sharp, fearless counterpart who challenges him at every turn.
R. Sarathkumar as Kural’s strict father.
Rohini as Agan’s caring yet comedic mother.
With Hridhu Haroon, Dravid Selvam, Satya, and Neha Shetty rounding out the supporting cast.

Each character brings their own flavor to this vibrant world — from family drama to hilarious street fights and heartfelt romance.

🎵 Music, Style & Cinematic Magic

The world of Dude comes alive through Sai Abhyankkar’s pulsating soundtrack, a mix of festive energy and romantic beats that promise to top every playlist this season. Niketh Bommi’s cinematography paints Chennai in bold, colorful frames, while Barath Vikraman’s crisp editing ensures every laugh, punch, and emotional beat lands perfectly.

Produced by Mythri Movie Makers — known for their blockbuster sensibilities — Dude marks their second Tamil production, distributed by AGS Entertainment. With a runtime of 139 minutes, it’s poised to be the perfect festive entertainer.

🔥 From PR 04 to Dude — A Festival of Fun

Initially teased under the working title PR 04, the film created buzz long before its official announcement. Fans were thrilled when Netflix acquired the post-theatrical streaming rights for a whopping ₹25 crore, ensuring Dude will continue its charm long after its theatrical run.

“Some guys chase dreams.Agan? He chases chaos — and somehow, love finds him anyway.”
