Captain Miller – Movie Review
The storyline of the movie “Captain Miller” happens during the period of 1930’s. Dhanush lives in a remote village of Tamil Nadu along with his mother Viji Chandrashekar and his siblings. Due to the domination of the upper caste families headed by Jayaprakash, lower caste people are been harassed where Dhanush and his family members do get affected. Frustrated Dhanush joins the Military force against the wish of his borther Shivarajkumar.
Dhanush who joins military force later realises the atrocities of the Britishers and joins hands with dacoits team led by Elango Kumaravel as Captain Miller. Injured Captain Miller happens to meet Priyanka Mohan who is a Doctor and the girl on whom he earlier went on a romantic dream on his first sight.
Dhanush an Ex-military seppoy who had turned as a Bandit Captain Miller is been announced as a wanted criminal by the British Indian Government.
The rest of the story would answers, What happens to Captain Miller and his family members? Is the struggle of the downtrodden being answered? Does the romantic dream of Dhanush get fulfilled? The visuals of the strong climax would sureshot give goosebumps to the audience.
Dhanush who is an extraordinary artiste has once again proved himself. His looks, action sequences and his dialogue punches have really worked out to elevate the movie. Scenes portrayed by Shivarajkumar gains applause from the audiences. Priyanka Mohan has played a subtle character. Sundeep Kishan who has played as a Military seppoy, Elango Kumaravel as a Dacoit, Jayaprakash as a Jamindar, Nivedita Sathish as a Dacoit and others have done justice to their work.
Writer and director Arun Matheswaran has scripted the movie in a way that could attract the audience who especially would love watching war films. Arun Matheswaran has strongly registered about the denial of lower caste people entering the temple sanctum. Arun Matheswaran could have concentrated on fine tuning the script which could have given extra crispiness and have avoided those few lags in the movie. G.V.Prakash’s Background Music is said to be the backbone of the movie. Siddhartha Nuni has captured the movie taking back the audience to feel the real 1930’s environment. Editor Nagooran’s hard work showcases the value of the content. Dhilip Subbarayan has choreographed the stunt sequences in a realistic manner which the audience would really enjoy. Poornima Ramasamy & Kavya Sriram have really researched well on costume designs. Ramalingam’s art work depicts the originality of 1930’s.
“Captain Miller” is a worthy war-film which can be watched by all sort of audience. Hope to see a sequel of it.
