Set in the 1930s during the pre-Independence era, Captain Miller opened as a grand Pongal release and has taken a sensational opening in theatres everywhere, with the audience feedback largely positive. The film directed by Arun Matheswaran also has music by National Award-winning composer G. V. Prakash Kumar, who has delivered foot-tapping tunes and a powerful background score once again for a Dhanush-starrer after their previous collaborations Polladhavan (2007), Aadukalam (2011), Mayakkam Enna (2011), Asuran (2019), Maaran (2022), and Vaathi (2023).
