ETimes review
Our review reads, “Just like in OMK, Raghavan finds an amazing friend and lover in Keerthi (Anupama Parameswaran), who goes out of her way to keep him happy. But Dragon highlights that sometimes a missed chance is a missed chance. From the rainy nights hinting at a change to second chances and college friendships, both frames and characters remind you of the director’s debut outing, which works organically for his sophomore venture. Even the famous “Idhu ungallukku sonna puriyaadhu sir” dialogue makes a cameo. Apart from these, you also get hat tips to Premam, Simbu, and other films and actors, adding flavour to the comedy sequences. From roping in VJ Siddhu and Harshath Khan to all the interesting meta references, Ashwath has managed to cater to the youth in all possible ways. Speaking about such references, the film’s other big strength is the small but emotionally loaded dialogues — for example, “Oru thappu panitu easy ah kadantharlaam nu nenaikurom, but adhu thoratite iruku la” — that are written with care.”
Starring Pradeep Ranganathan in the lead role, Dragon also features KS Ravi Kumar, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Mysskin, Anupama Parameswaran, Kayadu Lohar, and more in key roles.
