Dragon Box Office Collection Day 29: Kollywood Gets A 100 Crore Club Entrant After A Long Time(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Dragon, starring Pradeep Ranganathan, has definitely slowed but is earning enough to achieve milestones during its theatrical run. After crossing the 150 crore mark recently globally, the film has now made a much-awaited entry into the 100 crore club. Yes, you read that right! It has become the first Kollywood film of 2025 to enter the 100-crore club at the Indian box office. Keep reading for a detailed collection report of 29 days!

Dragon enters the 5th week

Yesterday, the Pradeep Ranganathan starrer entered its fifth week. In the four weeks, the film earned 99.88 crores. On day 29, growth was seen, and 36 lakh came in. Out of this, the original Tamil version contributed 34 lakh. The Telugu-dubbed version contributed the remaining 2 lakh. This is a good number, considering the fact that the film has already made its Ott premiere.

Tamil comedy-drama film “Dragon” (2025), currently streaming on Netflix, is an odd one. At its core, the film has a story that tries to undercut the hardcore appeal of a mainstream hero (Read “Mass Hero”). Yet, director Ashwath Marimuthu could not help but resort to the same deifying cliches at every turn of events. The result is a film that runs a story of subversion through the mill of rigid conformity. The film’s titular protagonist should have been a fine anti-hero with all his frailties. Alas, in “Dragon,” those flaws come across as quirks of a mass hero.

Speaking of quirkiness, the film starts well where our lead protagonist D. Ragavan becomes Dragon (Pradeep Ranganathan). All in a bid to impress girls, because the film immediately takes the sweeping stance that girls only dig bad boys. One of the top students in high school, Dragon intentionally starts to fall behind...

The transition from behind the camera wasn’t entirely unplanned, but rather the culmination of a journey that began in his student filmmaking days. “It started from my short film days,” Ranganathan tells Variety. “When I directed my first short film with another actor, everyone in college came and spoke to him. I would be standing just beside him, but no one knew I was the director.
