The Plot is simple. How D.Raghavan Become 'Dragon' and how did things unfold after he failed in college and became successful in life by taking a shortcut? pradeep Ranganathan clearly understands the pulse of the Gen Z audience and has crafted a clear entertainment package. The first 40 minutes are literally unbearable. It's more like a torture.  
Things get a move on when anupama parameswaran breaks up with pradeep and he uses a shortcut to get a fake college degree and secure a job in a USA company. The movie takes cinematic liberties to a greater extent. For instance, pradeep who has 48 arrears suddenly becomes the Top employee in an MNC with 3 Lakhs INR per month salary. However, the director has smartly played by showcasing pradeep as a gold medalist in school days. 
The second half post-interval was a total riot. It was a complete blast and most of the scenes bring the roofs down with loads of laughter. However, the movie gets into an emotional zone toward the pre-climax and it becomes a brilliant one as they never justify the hero's wrongdoings. In fact, the message delivered was quite a solid one. pradeep Ranganathan is a revelation. He is the next big thing in kollywood after Siva Karthikeyan. His 'Dhanush'-like body language and mannerisms are a treat to watch.
Kayadu has nothing much to do other than sing a duet in europe and appear glamorously in a few scenes. anupama parameswaran gets a neat role comparatively. Mysskin fits the bill perfectly. The rest of the cast have been picked based on the latest YouTube trends and they have done justice to their part. sneha and ivana appear as cameos and get a huge response as well. The production values by AGS are rich and technical wise cinematography and songs get special thumbs up. 

Overall, A Popcorn Entertainer If You Can Bear The First Bad 40 Minutes!
