Dragon

Dragon

In 2014, D. Ragavan, a diligent 12th-standard student, wins a gold medal in computer science. Encouraged by his achievement, he confesses his feelings to his crush, Anjana, but she rejects him, preferring rebellious boys over well-mannered ones like him. Ragavan then transforms into a rebellious student, adopting the moniker "Dragon". With his friend Anbu, he builds a notorious reputation at AGS Engineering College in Vellore, accumulating 48 arrears. Despite his poor academics, he earns the respect of his peers. During a college fest, Dragon gets into a fight and is suspended. Dean Mayilvahanan offers him a chance to redeem himself, but Dragon declines. After leaving college, he deceives his parents into believing he has an IT job, funding a small allowance through his friends and girlfriend, Keerthi. However, Keerthi ends their six-year relationship upon receiving a good marriage proposal, calling Dragon a failure due to his arrears and lack of independence. After a drunken accident, Dragon reassesses his life and sets a goal to earn a salary higher than what Keerthi's prospective groom Deepak earns. Anbu and Dragon befriend Gowtham, a wealthy man who reveals he secured a job using a fake degree provided by an agency. Inspired, Dragon seeks one from the agency, whose managing director M. S. Rajesh asks ₹1,000,000 (US$10,000). Dragon manipulates his father, Dhanapal, into selling their land to raise funds.
