Dragon starring Pradeep Ranganathan has taken the box office by storm releasing this Friday with decent advance bookings. The film received unanimous positive word of mouth after the initial shows witnessing a massive jump in bookings. The collections have also seen a significant increase from show to show. Dragon is performing exceptionally well in Telugu having a very good opening day. In Tamil Nadu the film opened with more than 5.5 crore gross and around 13 crore gross world wide.
Dragon saw a big jump in collections on its second day trending better than the opening day in all areas. With this trend the film is expected to join the 100 crore club a remarkable feat for Pradeep Ranganathan second film. His debut film Love Today collected around 90 crores gross in its full run and Dragon looks set to beat this record. Joining the 100 crore club with his second film will be a great achievement for Pradeep establishing himself as a promising actor in Kollywood.
On the other hand Dragon has overshadowed the other release NEEK Jabilamma Neeku Antha Kopama in Telugu produced and directed by Dhanush. Despite decent word of mouth and reviews NEEK has failed to match Dragon box office dominance. The popularity and stardom of Dhanush have not been able to boost the film prospects as expected. It remains to be seen how NEEK fares and sustains the clash with Dragon.
Dragon success is a testament to Pradeep Ranganathan rising stardom in Kollywood. With his impressive performance in Love Today and now Dragon Pradeep has established himself as a talented and bankable actor. As Dragon continues to roar at the box office Pradeep fans are eagerly awaiting his next project hoping to see him continue his winning streak.
