Since the release of Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dude, social media has been buzzing with debates. Many feel that the film, in the name of progressiveness, sends the wrong message and sets a bad example for the younger generation.
Director Mohan G, in a recent media interaction, criticised Dude and said that its director Keerthiswaran is too young to understand social reality. He stated that Keerthiswaran simply tried to express his personal views without considering the consequences.
Mohan G also said that the film’s second half is far from practical in today’s society. He called it “disgusting” to watch a husband allowing his wife to be with another man under the same roof, describing the situation as unrealistic and disturbing.
He claimed that Dude is a very bad film that hides behind the mask of progressiveness while spreading the wrong message. His statement quickly went viral on social media and sparked intense discussions.
Many users supported Mohan G’s opinion, agreeing that while the film may be entertaining, its underlying ideology is misleading and unhealthy for society. They believe the movie normalises morally questionable behaviour.
Others, however, defended Dude, calling it a bold and progressive take on social issues. They argue that despite some weak dialogue, the film carries an important message against honour killings and societal hypocrisy.
Supporters also claim that only those who take pride in caste identity are offended by the film’s message. They accuse Mohan G of being a caste fanatic, suggesting that his personal biases are behind his strong disapproval of Dude.
Mohan G’s remarks on Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dude have now gone viral, with audiences divided between outrage and appreciation. The film continues to spark conversations across social media platforms.
