Dragon starring filmmaker turned actor Pradeep Ranganathan is all set to release in theaters on February 21, 2025. And here are some quick reasons to catch the movie in theaters tomorrow:
1. Pradeep Ranganathan:
The void for boy-next-door actor who the young audience finds relatable, was fulfilled with a single film called Love Today (2022) by actor Pradeep Ranganathan. The biggest advantage to being in that zone for an actor is that he can played flawed characters, as Pradeep Ranganathan does in Dragon. The redemption arc of such characters is what makes a film appealing, and Dragon like Love Today promises that.
Notably Dragon bookings indicate that the Tamil cine audience is looking forward to another Pradeep Ranganathan show, following his impressive stint in Love Today, and such a promising act is the first reason why the film warrants a watch in theaters.
2. Ashwath Marimuthu
Director Ashwath Marimuthu is another talent on Dragon who made an impression with a single film. Oh My Kadavule, his debut direction dealt with relationships, and was given a nuanced, matured handling. Dragon similarly deals with understandings required in relationships, both familial and romance, and is expected to be no different. The USP of Ashwath Marimuthu is that the filmmaker blends mature topics with the fun quotient well. There is hope on the hold he has over Tamil audience.
3. Plot
Dragon comes across a coming-of-age story with scope for fun elements in every scene. Despite this genre being familiar to Tamil cine audience, it has not been explored much beyond actors with a strong fan-base. Pradeep Ranganathan is doing it for the second time with Dragon, after Love Today. Director Ashwath Marimuthu aids him this time around with this much-in-trend genre of story telling.
4. Music & Other Technicalities
Be it the score that featured in the Dragon trailer, or the songs from the album, composer Leon James has given hummable music. Cinematography, editing, production finesse, and other technicalities were also grand enough for a theater watch.
5. Synergy
Despite being upcoming talents the synergy of Pradeep Ranganathanan, Ashwath Marimuthu, together with a giant force like AGS Entertainment promises a fulfilling experience with Dragon. It is sure to strike well with the target audience not just in Tamil but also in Telugu as Return of The Dragon.
Watch out for the Dragon review on this space tomorrow.
