Normally, when a big-budget spectacle drops its first look, it’s all about some chest-thumping dialogues and a hero looking just like the god of the masses! But Prashanth Neel takes a very different route along with his upcoming biggie Dragon! Starring Jr NTR, the primary glimpse of this film has dropped on the superstar\u2019s birthday, and this glimpse is 4 minutes and 28 seconds long. But you will likely witness only 20 seconds of the RRR superstar!\n<\/p>\n
The remaining of the glimpse sets up the premise, timeline, and backstory of this upcoming film in a really specific way, highlighting all the pieces you need to know. It’s such decision to let you compromise on this world, even before Prashanth Neel arrives with Jr NTR\u2018s deadliest avatar on screen!\n<\/p>\n
The glimpse of Dragon sets up the timeline of this film around post-1967 and the premise of the illegal opium production and trade! Every little thing about this glimpse is impressive. The storytelling, the dialogues, and the music! Nonetheless, it’s only a glimpse, but I still putting an excessive amount of hope here and expect that the film might burn the box office records, since Jr NTR is spitting fire in every second he appears on screen!<\/p>\n
In his introduction scene, he warns, \u201cSote waqt sapne mein unki shaqal nahi aati jinko maara hai, sirf unki aati hai jo bache hain!\u201d After which he dares you to enter his dream, and we finally meet his villainous side \u2013 dark, gritty, spitting fire, and able to slaughter every one! The why behind this glimpse would turn the premise of the film!<\/p>\n
This glimpse is an absolute masterclass in world-building. For anyone who thought Prashanth Neel would exhaust his signature dark, dystopian filmmaking after KGF and Salaar, could have to re-evaluate. Because with Dragon, he takes us straight right into a brutal, blood-soaked opium war \u2013 the darkest and most gritty world he may need created!<\/p>\n
The most important surprise is Anil Kapoor\u2018s high-stakes law enforcer with intense gravity. Add to that a stellar supporting forged featuring Ashutosh Rana, Biju Menon, and Sidhant Gupta, and you realize Neel is cooking a layered, character-driven mass masterpiece. The sheer bass in Tarak\u2019s voice, combined with Ravi Basrur\u2019s thunderous background rating, makes the dialogues sound like insane warnings! It’s raw, it’s threatening, and it perfectly translates why the film is titled Dragon.<\/p>\n
Directed by Prashanth Neel, Dragon will star NTR within the lead. The film is made under the banner of Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts. The film is about to release in 5 languages in June 2027.<\/p>\n
