Spoiler Alert

What happens at the end of the Dude movie?

Athiyamaan is shown as a powerful minister in the story. Since his younger days, he strongly opposed intercaste marriages. He believes that supporting such relationships will affect his vote bank. In one disturbing incident, he even killed his own sister because she wanted to marry someone from another caste.

His beliefs are shaken again when he discovers that his daughter Kural has fallen in love with Paari, a boy from a different caste. He threatens her and tries to control the situation. With help from her childhood friend, Kural decides to escape with Paari to another country so they can marry freely.

During this time, Kural becomes pregnant with Paari’s child. After the baby is born, Athiyamaan learns that the child is not Agan’s but Paari’s. His anger turns dangerous as he tries to kill the newborn. He also orders his men to eliminate Paari. The minister then takes the baby to a quiet spot near the beach where no one can notice him. Just as he points a gun at the child, he suffers a sudden heart attack and collapses.

When he wakes up, he finds himself in a hospital. The doctor tells him something unexpected. The child crawled towards the highway for help, which caught the attention of the public and alerted everyone about the minister’s condition.

Who is the real savior?

After learning from the doctor, the minister’s attitude changed completely. He accepted his mistakes and agreed to the marriage of Paari and Kural. But the film ends by revealing what actually happened. The audience discovers that Agan used a GPS tracking system to trace the real-time location of the child and Athiyamaan. He then created a plan that made the baby appear to be the true savior, which pushed the minister to support the intercaste marriage.

The film highlights important social issues and tries to deliver a meaningful message with strong emotions. Interested viewers can watch Dude on Netflix.
