Tamil star Pradeep Ranganathan starrer Dragon finally hit the big screens today, ie, on February 20. The coming-of-age comedy drama has opened to mixed reviews from audience and critics as well.
The romance-comedy film has garnered mixed reactions and one user wrote, “#Dragon squanders a promising concept brimming with dramatic potential due to shallow writing that delivers lifeless scenes and characters. A few crowd-pleasing moments and songs are its only redeeming qualities. At 157 minutes, the runtime drags on like an endless week. A disappointingly subpar effort.”
