Dragon Worldwide Box Office Update: Pradeep Ranganathan’s Film Surpasses Madha Gaja Raja, Becomes 2nd Highest Tamil Grosser of 2025!
The Rise of Pradeep Ranganathan: Unpredicting the Numbers
PRadeep Ranganathan, a relatively new face in Kollywood, has done the unthinkable. His second outing, Dragon, has surpassed the lifetime earnings of Madha Gaja Raja in just a single week, making it the second-highest-grossing Tamil film of 2025.
The Unlikely Challenger
Vishal, a star with nearly 40 films under his belt, had Madha Gaja Raja as his one film that’s been in the making for a long time. Despite mixed reactions from critics, the film grossed ₹56 crores worldwide in its full run. However, Dragon, Pradeep Ranganathan’s second venture, has caused a stir at the box office, defeating Madha Gaja Raja‘s record in less than a week.
Breaking the Barriers
With an India gross of over ₹60 crores at the time of writing, Dragon stands at a commendable position, solidifying its position as the second-highest-grossing Tamil film of 2025. The only film ahead of it is Vidaamurachi, which boasts a worldwide gross of ₹138 crores.
The Magic of Dragon
Directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, Dragon stars Pradeep Ranganathan, Anupama Parameswaran, and Kayadu Lohar in the lead roles. The film’s strong word-of-mouth has translated into exceptional footfalls, making it one of the most talked-about Tamil films of the year.
Box Office Phenomenon
The film’s extraordinary box office performance has put Pradeep Ranganathan in the spotlight, cementing his status as a bankable star in Tamil cinema. With its impressive earnings, Dragon is well on track to enter the ₹100 crore club, eclipsing expectations and solidifying its position as a major player in the industry.
The Future of Kollywood’s Top Guns
As the box office continues to churn out surprises, one thing is certain – new talent is emerging, and Pradeep Ranganathan is at the forefront of the pack. With Dragon‘s phenomenal success, he joins the ranks of the industry’s top guns, and his name is on everyone’s lips.
