‘Dragon’ box office collections day 12: Pradeep Ranganathan’s comedy flick mints more than Rs 77 crores

Pradeep Ranganathan’s latest comedy entertainer ‘Dragon’ continues its strong box office run, surpassing Rs 77 crore in India net collections by the end of its twelfth day. The film, which opened to positive reviews and strong audience reception, has maintained steady momentum even in its second week.


According to early estimates from the Sacnilk website, ‘Dragon’ earned approximately Rs 2.25 crore on its twelfth day across all languages. The film had already collected Rs75.20 crore in its first eleven days, making it one of the most successful Tamil releases in recent times.


Breaking down its second-week collections, Dragon showed a notable jump over the weekend. After collecting Rs 4.7 crore on its second Friday, the film saw a significant boost on Saturday (Rs 8.5 crore) and Sunday (Rs 9 crore). However, as expected, the numbers dipped on Monday (Rs 2.7 crore) and Tuesday (Rs 2.25 crore). Despite the weekday slowdown, Dragon remains a strong performer at the box office.

The film’s Tamil version continues to dominate, contributing most of the revenue. On Day 12, Tamil occupancy stood at 17.30%, with night shows registering the highest footfall (19.19%). The Telugu version recorded an overall occupancy of 14.49%, with night shows peaking at 16.67%.

ETimes review

We gave the Kayadu Lohar starrer a 4 star rating out of 5. Our review reads, “Raghavan is a typical Tamil hero, who rules the college with his rowdy vibes (Hello Gautham from Sillunu Oru Kaadhal!), doesn't study well, and is ungraduated (we are looking at you, Dhanush from Padikathavan) but besides his stubborn ego and cheating skills, he also happens to live in a world where from his innocent and caring parents and selfless friends to even the college principal or a random stranger — everyone is just too kind and supportive. But what makes this exaggeratedly kind world real is how the characters don’t blindly stand by his side; they advise or chide him before lending a helping hand. And with some tricks up his sleeve, he manages to crack both life and the corporate ladder.”
