The Pongal festival has brought a sweet surprise for Dhanush fans, as his latest film 'Captain Miller' has emerged as a blockbuster hit, raking in Rs 63 crore worldwide in just one week of its release. The film, which hit the screens on January 12, has received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike, who have praised the film's gripping story, stunning action sequences, and stellar performances.

'Captain Miller' is a period drama that revolves around the life of Miller played by Dhanush who turns against the British and joins the freedom struggle of the oppressed castes in Tamil Nadu. The film showcases the atrocities and injustices faced by the downtrodden people, who were denied the basic human right to enter temples for centuries.

The film also explores the bond between Miller and his brother Sengolan (Shivaraj Kumar), a freedom fighter who leads a non-violent protest against the British rule. The film is directed by Arun Madheshwaran, who has delivered his best work till date with 'Captain Miller'.

The film has a powerful screenplay, which blends entertainment and emotion with a strong social message. The film also has a brilliant technical team, which includes cinematographer Siddhartha Nuni, editor Nagooran, and dialogue writer Madhan Karky, who have enhanced the film's visual and verbal appeal.

'Captain Miller' also boasts of a talented ensemble of actors, who have given their best performances in the film. Dhanush, as always, is impeccable in his role, and he carries the film on his shoulders with his charisma and intensity. Shivaraj Kumar, who makes his Tamil debut with the film, is a perfect choice for the role of Sengolan, and he brings a lot of depth and dignity to his character.

Sundeep Kishan and Priyanka Arul Mohan, who play the supporting roles, also do justice to their parts. The film also has some memorable cameo appearances by Kaali Venkat, Elango Kumaravel, and others.

'Captain Miller' is produced by Sathya Jyothi Films, who have once again proved their knack for backing quality films with commercial potential. The film also has a mesmerizing musical score by GV Prakash Kumar, who has composed some soulful songs and a rousing background score for the film.
