Tamil film Dragon, starring actor-director Pradeep Ranganathan in the lead role, has achieved a significant milestone at the box office. The film has crossed Rs 100 crore worldwide, the makers announced on social media on Sunday. This achievement marks a major success for the film, which released on February 22 and opened to positive reviews. Dragon is directed by Ashwath Marimuthu and produced by Kalpathi S. Aghoram, Kalpathi S. Ganesh, and Kalpathi S. Suresh under AGS Entertainment.
The film's success has brought much-needed relief to the Tamil film industry, which has been experiencing a dry season. Dragon's 10-day gross worldwide is Rs 100 crore, making it the second highest-grossing Tamil film of 2025, after Ajith Kumar's Vidaamuyarchi. However, with its current pace, Dragon is expected to overtake Vidaamuyarchi soon. The film's success has also put Pradeep Ranganathan's previous film, Love Today, under threat, as Dragon is likely to surpass its collection of Rs 105 crore.
*A Major Milestone for Pradeep Ranganathan and Ashwath Marimuthu*
Dragon's success is a testament to the hard work and dedication of its cast and crew. The film's storyline, which revolves around a college student with 48 arrears, has resonated with audiences. The film's cast, including Anupama Parameswaran, Kayadu Lohar, Myskin, and Gautham Vasudev Menon, has delivered impressive performances. The film's music, composed by Leon James, has also been well-received. With Netflix bagging the post-theatrical streaming rights, Dragon is expected to reach an even wider audience.
The success of Dragon has marked a major milestone for Pradeep Ranganathan and Ashwath Marimuthu, who have collaborated for the first time on this project. The film's achievement is a testament to their hard work and dedication, and it is expected to pave the way for more successful collaborations in the future. With Dragon's current pace, it is likely to become one of the highest-grossing Tamil films of 2025.
