“Dragon Roars to the Top: Pradeep Ranganathan’s Blockbuster Eyes No.1 Spot in Tamil Cinema 2025”
Tamil cinema has a new sensation, and its name is Dragon! The Pradeep Ranganathan-starrer, directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, is rewriting box office history as it continues its phenomenal run. This romantic comedy, co-starring Anupama Parameswaran, Kayadu Lohar, Gautham Vasudeva Menon, and Mysskin, is not just a massive crowd-puller but is also on track to becoming the highest-grossing Tamil movie of 2025.
Box Office Storm: Dragon Nears ₹120 Crore Globally
Since its release on February 21, Dragon has been setting cash registers ringing, smashing past the ₹115 crore mark worldwide within just 13 days. Now, it’s rapidly closing in on the ₹120 crore milestone, standing at the second spot among Tamil cinema’s top-grossing films of the year. But the big question remains—can Dragon dethrone Ajith Kumar’s Vidaamuyarchi and claim the No.1 spot?
Can Dragon Beat Vidaamuyarchi’s ₹137 Crore Record?
For context, Vidaamuyarchi, the action-thriller directed by Magizh Thirumeni, opened strong but struggled to maintain its momentum post its opening weekend, concluding its theatrical run at ₹137 crore globally. In contrast, Dragon continues to surge forward, and at its current pace, industry experts predict it could add another ₹20-25 crore to its total, comfortably surpassing Vidaamuyarchi.
What makes this achievement even more impressive is that Dragon, in terms of scale, budget, and brand value, is a relatively smaller film. Yet, its compelling storyline, stellar performances, and exceptional word-of-mouth have made it an unstoppable force at the box office.
How Long Can Dragon Hold the Throne?
Backed by AGS Entertainment, Dragon still has plenty of fuel left to dominate the theatres. However, the real challenge lies ahead—will it sustain its momentum until the arrival of Veera Dheera Sooran Part 2?
The Eid 2025 release of the highly anticipated Chiyaan Vikram-starrer is expected to shake things up at the box office. Until then, Dragon is set to enjoy an extended victorious run, proving that content and audience love can triumph over scale and star power.
As Tamil cinema witnesses a power shift at the box office, all eyes are on Dragon to see if it officially claims the No.1 position of 2025. One thing is certain—this Pradeep Ranganathan blockbuster is a game-changer!
