ETimes gave the film a rating of 4 out of 5 stars, stating, “Much like Oh My Kadavule, where magic, coincidences, and second chances play a role, Dragon stays grounded in reality while exploring the dreamy side. The film is emotional, fun, and a fully charged experience that makes it relatable and special.”
