STORY

In the 1930s during the British Raj, Analeesan “Eesa”, a villager, wants to gain respect because of caste issues in his village, and wants to joins the British Indian Army. This is opposed by Sengannan alias Sengolan, Eesan’s elder brother, who is leading a revolution against the British. Eesa meets Velmathi, a doctor and the daughter of a royal family, and falls in love with her. However, he learns that Velmathi is in love with someone else and forgets about her. Eesa soon joins the army and is christened “Miller”, but brands himself “Captain Miller”. In one of their many missions, Eesa, along with his friends, Rafiq and Sembatta alias Stephen, they are forced by their British General to shoot innocent and defenceless freedom fighters at a public gathering.

When the soldiers are disposing the bodies of the freedom fighters, Stephen commits suicide out of guilt, prompting Eesa to kill their General. Afterwards, he also attempts suicide, but Rafiq stops him and tells him to leave the army and go back to his village. Eesa returns to his village and learns that Sengolan was also killed along with the freedom fighters. The villagers berate and throw him out of the village. During a war between a group of revolutionaries and the Britishers, Eesa helps the revolutionaries kill the Britishers, and joins their group. Eesa and the group successfully orchestrate another attack against the Britishers, but he gets shot in the process. Eesa meets Velmathi again and learns that her husband also died in the gathering. She tells Eesa to kill Riley, the son of a British Governor, to avenge Velmathi’s husband’s death.

Meanwhile, the British government learns about a precious gemstone, which is 600 years old, from the king Rajadhipathi and seizes it with the discreet help of Kanagasabai, Rajadhipathi’s minister, who reveals the location of the gemstone under the temple’s deity, Lord Shiva. However, Rajadhipathi wants the gemstone for himself and gets Eesa to retrieve it, without revealing anything about it. He also asks his son, the Prince, to look over the entire operation and kill him and his revolutionary group, after they successfully retrieve it. Eesa successfully retrieves it from the Britishers and also kills Riley, who was also involved in stealing the it and responsible for the massacre that Eesa was part of during his time in the army. However, Eesa takes the gemstone and absconds to Ceylon as he realises what Rajadhipathi’s plan is. The Britishers torture the villagers to reveal Eesa’s location. The following morning, he returns to the village with the gemstone and attacks and kills the Britisher soldiers harrassing and killing the villagers, while chasing away Wandy and his men. The Indian soldiers drop everything and surrender to Eesa. They state that Wandy will return with an army of 700 soldiers, from Veeravanallur.

Velmathi and the others safeguard the villagers and kill Rajadhipathi, while Eesa kills Rajadhipathi’s son. The villagers finally enter the temple, as they were forbidden to enter the temple by Rajadhipathi for 600 years. Eesa and the revolutionaries attack the army, and are later assisted by Rafiq and Sengolan, who is actually revealed to be still alive and part of another revolutionary group in the Andaman. Eesa and the revolutionaries, along with Rafiq and Sengolan, defeat the British army and safeguard the village. The gemstone is instilled back in the temple and the British empire issues a bounty on Eesa, Rafiq, Sengolan and the other revolutionaries.

In the epilogue, Rajadhipathi’s daughter, Princess Shakunthala, learns about Velmathi’s involvement in her father and brother’s death from a sly Kanagasabai. She sets out to exact vengeance on her, Eesa, Rafiq, Sengolan, and the other revolutionaries.

PRODUCTION

Development

In 2018, Arun Matheswaran wrote a script which was to be produced by T. G. Thyagarajan’s production company Sathya Jyothi Films. Arun had also shown the script to Dhanush, since he had written the script keeping the actor in mind. However, nothing was finalised and the project took shape again in 2019. In late October 2020, Arun had met Dhanush and discussed the possibilities of collaborating on that project. Impressed by the narration of the script, Dhanush showed interest in what Arun had presented. The project was to enter production after the latter had finished his commitments during that time. In April 2021, Sathya Jyothi Films was reported to produce the film, which would be Dhanush’s 47th. On 24 December that year, Dhanush confirmed reports about his collaboration with Arun.

The film was tentatively titled D47, being the actor’s 47th film in a leading role. In April 2022, multiple sources reported that the film was titled Captain Miller and that it would be set in the 1930s. In an interview to the media in late April, Arun revealed that the film was not about the real life LTTE rebel Captain Miller. He further revealed that it is an action adventure film which would be mounted on a massive budget to cater to a larger audience and would not have any item songs.^[14] The film was officially announced on 2 July that year with Captain Miller being confirmed as the title. The director gave that title because he was impressed by Tom Hanks’s character from Saving Private Ryan (1998). The project went through a year of extensive pre-production for greater detailing. Arun recruited G. V. Prakash Kumar for composing the music, who had earlier worked with Dhanush in seven films. Shreyaas Krishna was hired to handle cinematography. However, he was replaced by Siddhartha Nuni during filming in mid-January 2023. Nagooran Ramachandran who was chosen for editing, had worked with the director on Rocky (2021) and Saani Kaayidham (2022) previously.
