According to netizens, Dhanush delivered an outstanding performance that lived up to expectations, shining throughout the film from its introduction to the climax. The first half, characterized by its rawness, captivated the audience, setting a promising tone. Shiva Rajkumar’s entry into the film was a delight for fans, and his on-screen chemistry with Dhanush was well-received. GV Prakash Kumar’s musical contribution, particularly the film’s background score, received praise for adding intensity to the big screen experience.
The film’s solid first half, coupled with an even more engaging second half, garnered positive reviews, indicating a promising box office outcome for ‘Captain Miller.’
