Return of The Dragon Movie Analysis:
Pradeep Ranganathan, who became close to the Telugu audience with the movie Love Today, was impressed with this movie too. The scenes written based on the events happening in the lives of the youth in today's society are good. He especially talks very well about the issue of getting jobs by faking.
Director Ashwath Marimuthu tried to cultivate entertainment in the youthful story. With that, the comedy touch was achieved well in the movie. The way the hero Pradeep Ranganathan's character was established from the opening is good. Especially the scenes and comedy scenes between Pradeep Ranganathan's character and his father's character were a plus for the movie.
The performance of the actors is also very good. Pradeep Ranganathan, who played the lead role, has settled into his role. Even in serious situations, 'Pradeep Ranganathan' has cultivated his role very well with his timing. George Marion lived the role of his father. His performance is amazing. Anupama Parameswaran's performance as the heroine was impressive.
Kayadhu Lohar, who appeared as another heroine, looked very glamorous. Her performance is also good. Similarly, along with the character of Mysskin, his dialogue and his gestures are good. Gautham Menon's performance as the head of the IT company is good. Harshit Kanna and the rest of the actors who played other key roles also did justice to their roles.
Director Ashwath Marimuthu, who designed the character of Dragon and the scenes related to that character well, did not write the treatment of this film to the same extent. He failed at some places to write an interesting story, especially in key scenes. Moreover, some scenes feel slow and regular.
It would have been better if the scenes that come in the order of the hero's success were built more interestingly. Except for the climax in the second half, the rest of the story lacked excitement. Although there was a chance to make the story more interesting, the director ended the film in his own style.
Overall, although Ashwath Marimuthu's direction skills, hero characterization, and BGM are good.. the film feels below average. The film would have been better if the second-half screenplay and the main characters had been written more strongly.
Technical Department:
Although director Ashwath Marimuthu was impressed with his take.. he could not write the screenplay in a way that was fully impressive for the storyline he took. The background score in the film is good. The songs provided by music director Leon James are not bad. The cinematography is also good.
Many scenes in the film have been shot very beautifully by Niketh Bommi. When it comes to editing.. editor Pradeep E Raghav should have shortened some of the stretched scenes here and there. Producers Kalpathi S Aghoram, Kalpathi S Ganesh, and Kand Alpathi S Suresh have produced this film without compromising anywhere. Their production values are very good.
Conclusion:
In this film, which is called ‘Return of the Dragon’ and is a youthful comedy entertainer, the main theme, comedy and some emotional scenes are good. However, regular play and the increase in lag scenes in the film are minus points for the film. Overall, some youthful elements connect in this film.
Rating: 2.75/5
