Dragon is a 2025 Indian Tamil-language coming-of-age comedy drama film directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, who co-wrote the story with Pradeep Ranganathan. Produced by AGS Entertainment, the film stars Pradeep in the titular role, alongside Anupama Parameswaran and Kayadu Lohar. Mysskin, Gautham Vasudev Menon, K. S. Ravikumar and George Maryan appear in supporting roles. In the film, a college drop-out deceptively secures a high-paying job, but is forced to accept a major challenge to avoid being exposed.
The film was officially announced in April 2024 under the tentative titles #AGS26 and #PradeepAshwathCombo, as it is AGS's 26th production and the first collaboration between Pradeep and Ashwath, and the official title was announced a few days later. Principal photography commenced the following month in Chennai and was nearly complete that October. The film has music composed by Leon James, cinematography handled by Niketh Bommi and editing by Pradeep E. Ragav.
Dragon was released worldwide on 21 February 2025 in standard and EPIQ formats. The film received positive reviews from critics, with particular praise towards the performances and engaging storyline. Earning over ₹150 crore (US$18 million), it briefly became the one of the highest-grossing Tamil film of 2025.
