Due to the competition amongst Telugu films this Sankranti season, the Telugu dubbed version of Dhanush’s intense action drama ‘Capatain Miller’ is forced to release on 26th January. There were high expectations on ‘Captain Miller’ as the teaser and trailer created a lot of excitement. The star cast including Shiva Rajkumar, Sundeep Kishan, Priyanka Mohan and others too added to the hype.
The original version was released on Pongal and a lot of people praised the film despite having complaints regarding the excessive violence and lack of emotion in places. The team did not promote the film in Telugu and it was released without a lot of buzz. Apart from Dhanush’s brand and an impressive trailer, the movie’s team did not advertise the film a lot.
The effect can clearly be seen in the collections as the openings of ‘Captain Miller’ are just a little over 1 crore. This is more disappointing considering the fact that it was released on Republic Day. The movie garnered mixed response in Telugu as critics pointed out the inconsistency and slow pace which affected the film a lot. Though Dhanush’s acting, stunning cameos, brilliant technical quality and arresting action sequences are the positives, we need to see how the audiences receive it during the rest of the weekend especially with ‘Fighter’ getting a positive talk.
Set in 1930-40s, ‘Captain Miller’ is going to be high on action and drama. GV Prakash is the music composer of this movie. Madhan Karky has penned dialogues for the Tamil version of the movie. Arun Matheswaran is the film’s director. The movie is presented by T.G. Thyagarajan of Sathya Jyothi Films and produced by Sendhil Thyagarajan and Arjun Thyagarajan.
