Dragon starring actor Pradeep Ranganathan in the lead is a coming-of-age comedy drama that released in theaters on February 21, 2025. The Tamil movie is one of the better films from Kollywood in 2025, and has been running to packed screens since release. As Dragon inches towards completing a whole week of theatrical run, some lyrics from the song called Iraivaa have been revealed by lyricist Ko Sesha.
Iraivaa has vocals by Yuvan Shankar Raja, and Dragon film's music composer Leon James. The song was one of the few numbers to be unveiled only in theaters, and was taken a liking to by the Tamil film audience. Acknowledging the same, Ko Sesha recently took to X to write,
"Overwhelmed with the messages appreciating the lyrics of #Iraivaa from #Dragon… Thank you❤️🙏
I had, as a teenager, learnt several life lessons from Na Muthukumar’s lines in @thisisysr ‘s Oru Naalil from Pudupettai.
Iraivaa is a squirrel’s ode to the giant Na Muthukumar sir, in HIS and our favourite Yuvan’s own voice!
For those that asked, here is (a part of) the lyrics:
அரக்கர்கள் வானிலிருந்து இறங்குவதில்லைமனிதன் தான் தீமை செய்து அரக்கனாகிறான்...
இதயத்தில் தர்மம் என்றும் உறங்குவதில்லைஇதை உணர்பவன்தானே மீண்டும் மனிதனாகிறான்...
இங்கு எதைத் தேடி வந்தோம் இன்று எதுவாக ஆனோமென்றுஅறியாதவன் மிருகமாகிறான்...
நான் யார் இறைவாவிடை தா இறைவா...நான் யார் இறைவா...பதில் சொல்ல மண்ணில் வருவாயா...
நான் யார் இறைவா...விடை தா இறைவா...நான் யார் இறைவா...விடையாக எனக்குள் வருவாயா…

Dragon is written and directed by filmmaker Ashwath Marimuthu. An AGS production venture, the movie has Think Music as the official audio label. Also starring Kayadu Lohar, Anupama Parameswaran, Mysskin, Gautham Vasudev Menon, George Maryan, Indumathy, and Ashwath Marimuthu himself, Dragon tells the tale of one Raghavan whose thug college life, and eventual dubiousness boomerangs to terrorize his current luxurious life, and corporate job.
How Raghavan rectifies his past mistakes, and comes out a reformed man is what Dragon is all about.
