Dule has also gained appreciations from several Bollywood personalities including Swara Bhaskar, Richa Chadha and Sona Mohapatra.

During his early days, he also sustained his living as a part-time tuition teacher and at times survived on water mixed rice with some leafy vegetables.

Because of his vivid projection of the prevailing reality in the society, his songs are more about hardships of labourers.

Tandi's friend Bikash Nayak said," He is like a lotus flower which blooms from the mud. Dule would now go to the celluloid world of Bollywood from his potsherd tiled house in a backward district. I am sure that he will shine like other Bollywood stars and will become the pride of Odisha."
