A Complete Entertainer: Dragon Roars for the Young Generation
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.
