Captain Miller

“With terrific performances and GV Prakash's music, the film is a brilliant watch in theatres.”

“Dhanush starring Captain Miller is a roaring action spectacle that breaks the shackles of the genre in Tamil cinema.”

“Dhanush's Captain Miller is a brilliant political drama in the guise of an actioner. There's not even a single moment in the entire 160 minutes of runtime where Arun Matheshwaran's script meanders.”

“Captain Miller may be set in the period of the British Raj, but the themes, concepts and issues that it deals with feel timely and relevant.”

“Dhanush stands tall in this class action film. With a socio-political undertone, just like Arun Matheshwara's previous films, caste discrimination is addressed.”

“With a runtime of 158 minutes, there are several instances where Captain Miller falls short of engaging you. However, when you leave the cinema hall, what stays with you is the message of inclusion and the need to stand up for your freedom.”

“The highlights of Captain Miller are Dhanush's electric presence coupled with the G.V. Prakash Kumar's immersive background score & Arun Matheswaran's vision to create a world never seen before. Don't call it a slow burn if things are burning very slowly; call it a very slow burn!”

“For all these positives, somewhere along the way, the focus on the individual and the intimate gradually dissipates as the film tries to tackle the collective. For all the big tragedies unfolding, including systematic oppression and genocide, the emotions—the eventual catharsis—needed to register better. While Captain Miller doesn't resonate as emotionally as his previous films did, his admirable signature and conviction is still all over this film.”

“Despite a few shortcomings, Captain Miller is a huge step up for its filmmaker — whose style and socio-political takes need more praise — and is yet another feather to Dhanush's much-adorned cap. What would have otherwise turned into a one-dimensional role in the hands of an unseasoned artist, becomes a blank canvas for Dhanush to showcase his acting prowess and he delivers.”

“Captain Miller's progression from a simple young man to a man ridden with guilt and desperation, the cause and effect of his decisions, and its impact on his family, friends and community is a well-rounded story”

“Dhanush is fiery as his character transitions from an aspiring young soldier to a vigilante and finally emerges as the leader of his village, who helms a revolt against the British and the local king.”

“Captain Miller is a highly-engaging - but different - must-watch film this Sankranti. The Tamil star's ability to hold the audience's attention is well-known and he doesn't disappoint as Issa aka Captain Miller.”
