Résumé
Reviewers say 'Dragon' explores themes of redemption, consequences of deceit, and the value of honesty and hard work. The film follows a college student's journey through dishonesty for success, ultimately facing repercussions. It underscores that true achievement stems from perseverance and integrity. The movie highlights education's importance and parental support's impact. Emotional depth, humor, and relatable characters enhance its engaging narrative, though some find the pacing slow and certain plot points predictable.
Avis à la une
I feel Dragon is a film that's saved by its second half. Maybe I was wrong in anticipating a full-fledged comedy entertainer (like those mid-2000s to mid-2010s Dhanush flicks), but Ashwath Marumuthu's second film is a proper emotional drama. Its first-half college portions were dull for me, but the film takes flight once the redemption arc is front and center. The writing, except for the final act, feels a tad too convenient-it simply breezes through the struggle of finding a job, but makes passing college exams sound like the toughest thing in the world-not true in 2025, bro!
Pradeep Ranganathan has a limited acting range (for now), and thankfully, the screenplay focuses on his strengths. Conversely, the ladies are merely supporting actors in the overall scheme of things, existing to solidify Dragon (..and his inimitable bad-boy aura). Anupama certainly has more to do than Kayadu Lohar, and it's certainly one of her finer roles in recent times. Both look absolutely dashing, however. The real acting standout undoubtedly is Mysskin as principal Mayilvahanan, bringing an almost Raju Hirani-esque character to life with ease. Bjorn Surrao is also fun in an early scene, while seeing Gautham Menon dance is a delight.
The key supporting acts, VJ Siddhu & Harshath, are merely okay. Leon James' music and score seem to suit the material fairly well, especially the Vazhithunaiyae track. I see where the appeal for a film like this comes from; given both Dhanush and Sivakarthikeyan have moved on to more intense acting roles, there's always a space for breezy, coming-of-age drama in Tamil cinema. If not for the all-too-convenient writing in the first half, I think I'd have liked Dragon a lot more.

The masses will find this to be one of the most enjoyable Tamil films in recent times. At the very least, people who can't relate, will not have much to complain about, which automatically makes it one of the best Tamil films in recent times.
Nothing new story wise, but, the way in which its told makes all the difference. Youth makkall are about to take this film and PR to heights higher than Love Today did.
Whether you watch it in the theater, or watch it on Netflix once it's out, do so with a group of people (who liked Love Today type films) because the collective experience of this film is bound to make you enjoy it more. The more, the merrier, so theater I suppose. You will not be disappointed.

Only a few movies are better than their trailers, and when we saw the Dragon trailer, many of us thought it resembled Sivakarthikeyan's Don. While Dragon shares some similarities in its story and first half, it ultimately turned out to be something entirely different.
The story of Dragon (whose real name is Ragavan, and you'll find out why he's called Dragon when you watch the movie) revolves around him having 48 arrears during his college life. He is determined not to finish them unless his life reaches a critical situation.
Director Ashwath Marimathu, along with Pradeep Ranganathan, wrote this feel-good story and executed it well with his audience-friendly screenplay.
Pradeep's acting is much better than in Love Today, though his dance could still improve.
Anupama Parameswaran and Kayadu Lohar are the leading actresses in this movie, with Anupama playing a more prominent role than Kayadu. Both performed their roles well.
George Maryan, who played Pradeep's father, delivered a powerful performance, and the emotional scenes between them resonate with the audience.
Mysskin's role as the college dean is his best performance in his acting career.
Gautam Menon, Harshath Khan, V. J. Siddhu, and K. S. Ravikumar all performed well in their respective roles.
Leon James' music plays an essential part in shaping the emotional atmosphere of the movie, and overall, his BGM is a pleasant experience for the ears, instead of the harsh sounds like Dragon's roar.
On the technical side, the visuals are colorful and flawless.
The first half of Dragon is filled with the ups and downs of college life, love, and irresponsibility in fulfilling duties.
The second half of Dragon gives the movie real meaning, with emotional moments, plenty of comedy, and a perfect climax.
Dragon delivers a clear message about the importance of education.
All in all, Dragon is a must-watch movie that's best experienced on the big screen.

I watched the movie with high expectations, and I found the first half to be decent. There are a few scenes where the writing is impressive, particularly a scene in the hospital with the doctor, although it doesn't have a significant impact.
The second half is excellent due to its writing and emotional connection.
In terms of performances, Pradeep Ranganathan, George Maryan, Anupama Parameswaran, and Mysskin all did well.
The cinematography is also commendable.
The biggest strength of the movie is its writing.
PLOT :: Ragavan, infamous for his reckless ways and academic struggles, turns to fraud after a heartbreaking breakup, chasing wealth and power. However, his deceit leads him into perilous territory. Can he find a way out, or will his choices seal his fate?

For a college student like me, caught between exams, breakups, and figuring out life, it was the heartwarming boost I didn't know I needed.
