Dragon

The story is fun and enjoyable with its amazing screenplay and the dialogues are also great it has so much charismatic and great performances throughout by every single characters . While the first half does all the foundation the second half builds on it and gives us a masterful ride which is enjoyable and heart wrenching at times especially the second half it great the ending was phenomenal , overall a must watch movie it has a blend of everything romance,drama,suspence,thriller , action , life lessons . Must watch in theatres . I loved the previous works of these two Oh my kadavule and love today i enjoyed them thoroughly and it always puts a smile on my face this movie essentially does the same but i think it does it so much well then the previous movies .

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.

It is a good time-pass, feel-good movie that brings back nostalgic memories of college and IT life, making it relatable for many. The film strikes a balance between charm and realism, with two beautiful heroines adding extra appeal, complementing a not-so-good-looking yet fitting hero.

Despite its length, the movie never feels boring. While it could have been trimmed by 20 minutes, the final 20 minutes make up for it, ensuring a satisfying watch. The performances are commendable, with almost the entire cast delivering well. Overall, Dragon is a one-time watch that entertains without over-promising.

"Return of the Dragon" (2025) offers a fresh narrative that, while reminiscent of "Don," stands out with its unique storyline. The film explores the journey of Ragavan, a student who, after personal setbacks, embarks on a path of redemption and self-discovery. Director Ashwath Marimuthu skillfully balances humor and emotion, delivering a thought-provoking experience.

Pradeep Ranganathan's portrayal of Ragavan adds depth, making his transformation compelling. While both films address student challenges, "Return of the Dragon" distinguishes itself with its mature themes and distinct message.

It's actually 8.5/10 for me - though some parts in the first half felt slightly extended and routine.

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.
