Captain Miller Movie Review: The Koranar deity is the guardian of a small village in Tamil Nadu and its tribes, who is believed to be safeguarding these tribes for as many as 600 years. The king and the prince have their eyes set on the land of tribals, which they claim belonged to them before it was given away to the tribes. Kept away from the temples built by them and at the mercy of the king and his son, the villagers are hoping to attain freedom from the oppression they are subjected to.

 Meanwhile, the British, who heard about the power of the Koranar deity, wanted to take it to England to please the king of Britain, just like they did it with the Kohinoor. With no option left, the local king hands the deity over to the British. But he also hatches a plan to hire Captain Miller aka Analeesan (Dhanush) and lures him with money and an offer to allow the villagers to the temple to get the deity back. Will the Koranar deity be brought back to the village? Or does the rouge Captain Miller have another plan on his mind?

Captain Miller, at large, is a film about the struggle for freedom, not just from Brcitishers but also from the oppressors. Captain Miller is one of the rarest films that tells the story of a freedom struggle from the Sudeepa viewpoint of an oppressed class. Dhanush gets three different looks in the film and he stands out tall among the sea of some brilliant performers. Dhanush cult is sure to enjoy each and every mass scene written with finesse. Shivarajkumar as Dhanush’s brother Sengolan is a perfect choice. Despite differences in the cause they are fighting for, when they come together, they bring in an electrifying chemistry on big screen. Shivarajkumar repeats the Jailer template in terms of his appearance in the film, but he has a bigger role to play here, especially during the climax. Dhanush is perfectly aided by Sudeepa's brilliant cast that includes sudeep Kishan, Priyanka Mohan, Aditi Balan, John Kokken, Edward Sonnenblick, and Vinoth Kishan, who shine in their moments, but Dhanush hogs the limelight.
