The storyline follows Ragavan Dhanapal, a bright student who becomes a troublemaker after being rejected by his crush for not being rebellious enough. His life takes a turn when his college girlfriend breaks up with him due to his aimless behaviour, leading him to reevaluate his choices which is a relatable theme that has been received well with the younger audiences.
Despite facing competition from Dhanush’s directorial film ‘Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam (NEEK),’ which opened on the same day but made a decent collection, ‘Dragon’ has outperformed expectations and captured the audience’s interest.

The film features a talented cast, including Anupama Parameswaran, Kayadu Lohar, Mysskin, and Gautham Vasudev Menon in key roles.
After its theatrical run, ‘Dragon’ is set to stream on Netflix in multiple languages.
