Dragon: The Movie That’s Creating Waves on Netflix

The film Dragon has captivated audiences by presenting an unconventional storyline that offers both entertainment and a thought-provoking message. Unlike typical commercial films where the hero triumphs effortlessly, Dragon introduces an intriguing twist that has contributed to its impressive box office earnings, reportedly exceeding ₹150 crores.

The plot revolves around the protagonist, who drops out of engineering studies midway and returns home. He finds the college environment stifling and the requirement of hard work to pass exams unappealing. The film suggests that deceiving parents is often the easiest trick for children—a skill requiring no formal training. The protagonist, adhering to this belief, manipulates his parents, acquires fake certificates, and deceives his employer to climb the corporate ladder.

Typically, films of this nature would end with the protagonist achieving his goals, leaving the audience to cheerfully walk away. However, Dragon offers a refreshing deviation. The principal of the college, a pivotal character, confronts the protagonist with a crucial question: “If those who don’t study can succeed through wrongful means, what about those who work hard and study sincerely?” This encounter forces the protagonist to reconsider his decisions and returns him to the college gates, setting the stage for an engaging sequence of events that follow.

The principal's character is considered a highlight of the film, emphasizing the importance of integrity and perseverance. His belief that “Failing to correct one person sends the wrong message to a hundred others” forms the crux of the story’s message.

For those curious about how this storyline managed to generate such an impressive revenue, Dragon is now available for viewing on Netflix.
