‘Return of the Dragon’ Box Office Success Leads to Netflix Release Delay
The comedy-drama Return of the Dragon, starring Pradeep Ranganathan, Kayadu Lohar, and Anupama Parameswaran, has been enjoying a remarkable run at the box office since its release on February 21. Directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, the film was released in both Telugu and Tamil and features music composed by Leon James.
Despite modest expectations before its release, Return of the Dragon has exceeded all box office predictions. With a budget of ₹35 crore, the film has grossed over ₹120 crore, continuing to attract strong audience interest across various regions. This unexpected success has not only garnered widespread attention but also placed the film among the most-watched movies in recent weeks.
Initially scheduled to be streamed on Netflix from March 21, the film’s impressive box office performance has led to a shift in its digital release. Reports suggest that Netflix has now delayed the streaming debut of Return of the Dragon to March 28, capitalizing on the ongoing success of the film in theaters.
The film’s plot follows a college student who falls in love, leading to a series of setbacks in his academic life. After a prolonged struggle, he eventually gets back on track and achieves success. However, the reappearance of people from his past adds unexpected twists to his journey, making for a compelling narrative.
As Return of the Dragon continues to perform well at the box office, it is set to expand its reach with its digital release next month, further solidifying its popularity.
