More About Captain Miller

In addition to Dhanush, important roles in the movie are played by Sundeep Kishan, Priyanka Mohan, Nivedhithaa Sathish, and Edward Sonnenblick. The pre-Independence era is the setting for this period drama, which revolves around a local temple, its grounds, and the unjust treatment of the people who constructed it. The plot, which emphasises themes of resistance and union, is on a militant who rebels against British colonial control in order to protect and aid the people in his town.

The film’s major actors and crew were tagged in an enthusiastic post published by musician GV Prakash Kumar on his X timeline. Kumar wrote the original soundtrack and songs for the movie. When Captain Miller was released on January 12 of this year, reviews were divided, but fans and critics alike gave it largely glowing scores.
