On this Friday, i.e., 21st February, two crazy medium-budget films from Kollywood are getting released in theaters. One is Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dragon, and the other one is Dhanush’s directorial NEEK. Looking at the box office trend until now, Dragon takes an early lead over NEEK.
Initially, NEEK was planned for 7th February release and Dragon was planned for 14th February release. However, due to Vidaamuyarchi’s postponement, both the films were forced to take the clash on this Friday.
The advance bookings have been opened for both films, and DDragon takes an early lead over NEEK in initial advances. Pradeep Ranganathan’s romantic comedy is off to a super start in the ticket bookings, and it is set for a huge opening at the box office. Dhanush’s NEEK also starts off with decent advances. Definitely, both films have more chances to work big at the box office with positive WOM.
Both films are also releasing in Telugu; the trade expects the films to work in Telugu as well. As of now, Dragon is leading ahead of NEEK in bookings, but later, the word of mouth decides the winner. NEEK’s music became a success, especially the Golden Sparrow song, which was a huge hit. Dragon is titled Return of the Dragon in Telugu, and it stars Anupama Parameswaran and Kayadu Lohar as the female leads.
NEEK (Nilavuku Enmel Ennadi Kobam) has been directed by Dhanush, and Pavish and Anikha Surendran have played the lead roles. Pradeep Ranganathan delivered a ₹100 crore grosser with his acting debut Love Today. Let’s see who wins the box office battle in this clash.
