Captain Miller Twitter reviews praise Tamil action film: 'This will be biggest movie of Dhanush's career'

Captain miller twitter reviews are in and mostly praise dhanush's rugged avatar. the action in the film is being termed ‘on par with hollywood’..

Dhanush's Captain Miller was released on Friday ahead of Pongal 2024. The action film marks the first collaboration between Dhanush and director Arun Matheswaran. Set in British India, the film features Dhanush as Captain Miller, an outlaw who engages in bloody heists. Despite other Tamil and Telugu releases on Friday, many have watched the film on its opening day and have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to share their Captain Miller reviews .

Twitter reviews Captain Miller

An X user wrote, "Just Watched Captain Miller... wow what a movie. Bunked my classes for the movie..." Another said, "Captain Miller entry, BGM, grandier visuals and as usual super performer Dhanush. Slowly setting the pace in second half. If the streak continues – blockbuster on the cards."

An X user also tweeted, “Easily the best of Dhanush. Amazing direction by Arun Matheswaran; scintillating music and pre-Independence sets were top notch and technically well-made.”

‘Interval chase sequence was too good’

A tweet also read, "Captain Miller is a really good movie. Must watch. Another gem from Tamil cinema . A very good story, screenplay, action packed movie of Dhanush. This will be Dhanush's biggest movie of his career." Sharing a glimpse of the film playing on the big screen, a person tweeted, "Solid story and conflicts; characters are well established; good dialogues and great visuals. Interval chase sequence was too good, on par with Hollywood standards, ends with a little twist. So far so good!"

However, one X user had this to say about Captain Miller , “2024 started with the worst US premiere experience for Captain MilIer. Poor storytelling – no impact, miserably failed. Nothing interesting. Most hyped and overrated director of Kollywood. Dhanush – never ever compare this guy with Vetrimaaran (Tamil film director).”

More about Captain Miller

Helmed by Arun Matheswaran, Captain Miller features Dhanush and Priyanka Arul Mohan in lead roles. Sundeep Kishan and John Kokken also play pivotal roles in the film. Veteran Kannada actor Shivarajkumar plays Dhanush’s elder brother in Captain Miller. GV Prakash has scored the film's music.

When asked about the idea behind Captain Miller, filmmaker Arun Matheswaran told The Hindu in a recent interview , "This is a story about the oppressed fighting for freedom. My uncle was in the Army and the idea originated from everything he told me when I was a child. I have also taken some inspiration from the events that happened in the 1980s during the Sri Lankan Civil War. I worked out a story based on all of that, but materialising that script in that original form wasn’t possible; many producers were apprehensive because it was based on the Sri Lankan War. I had to let that story rest for over two years, and then I thought of basing it on the British Army to make it more acceptable."

Jailer Twitter Review: Rajinikanth Fans Hail This One-Man Show With Unexpected Climax

Rajinikanth jailer movie: twitterati said that nelson has bounced back and the film has a superb first half and an above average second half..

'Superstar' Rajinikanth's mass dark comedy movie Jailer has opened for an astounding record start on the day of its release on Thursday. The Tamil movie has occupied 95% of the screens across Tamil Nadu in over 110 screens, reported ETimes. Along with Rajinikanth, the movie also stars Ramya Krishnan, Jackie Shroff, Shiva Rajkumar, Sunil, Tamannaah Bhatia, and a cameo role has been done by Mohanlal. The movie was produced by Kalanithi Maran of Sun Pictures and was directed by Nelson.

The frenzy is also because this is the first film of Rajini to be released in over 2 years. 

Though the first show of the movie started only at 9 AM in Chennai, some of the fans of the actor have driven all the way to Bengaluru and other metro cities to catch a glimpse of 'Thalaivar', as they fondly call him, in the first day first show (FDFS) at 6 AM. 

The fans and movie buffs who watched the FDFS have already started to share their reviews on Twitter. 

A Twitterati, Amutha Bharathi said, "#Jailer - Winner🤝 [#ABRatings - 3.75/5] Superb first half & Above average second half👌Few Lags in the second half !!

‘Ponniyin Selvan: Part One’ Review: Promising Tamil Franchise Kicks Off With Faithful Take on a Literary Classic

Director Mani Ratnam's blockbuster adaptation of Indian author Kalki Krishnamurthy’s bestselling series of historical novels launches the beloved tale on a suitably massive scale.

Tamil filmmaking legend Mani Ratnam takes on the formidable task of adapting Indian bestseller “Ponniyin Selvan” as a two-part epic, the first of which released to excellent box office at home and abroad on Sept. 29. Streamlining the source material considerably, this impressive franchise starter — co-written by Ratnam, Jayamohan and Kumaravel — remains mostly faithful to Kalki Krishnamurthy’s five novels, first serialized in the 1950s in the Tamil magazine Kalki before being translated into multiple other languages, including English.

In the 11th and 12th centuries, Southern India was ruled by the Cheras, Cholas, Pandyas, Pallavas, Hoysalas and other dynasties. The film opens with the Chola crown prince Aditha Karikalan (Vikram) and his army being victorious on the field. Aditha sends his faithful aide, Vallavaraiyan Vandiyadevan (Karthi), to see what is happening in his father’s palace where Chola chieftains are gathering for a secret meeting.

Vandiyadevan soon falls in with a religious man, Azhwarkadiyan Nambi (Jayaram), another spy who also provides some comic relief. Together, they discover a plot to take the crown from the ailing king Sundara Chola and give it to his nephew, who had been passed over. Among those trying to use Vandiyadevan is the beautiful Nandini ( Aishwariya Rai Bachchan ), who uses her looks to get her husband, commander Chinna Pazhuvettariyar (R. Parthiban).

Things get more involved as the film goes along, of course, but Ratnam keeps the different strands moving at a fast enough pace so that you don’t notice the nearly three-hour running time. Nor does it matter that the titular Ponniyan Selvan doesn’t make an appearance until nearly the intermission.

DP Ravi Varman does justice to the sweep of the story, while CG battle scenes are staged like set-pieces from the “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, a comparison underscored by Rahman’s soaring music. The below-the-line work is top-notch throughout — not just with camera and music, but also in the production design (Thotta Tharani). The Cholas were famous for the temples they built, with the Thanjavur temple standing even now as a testament to their artistry.

Augmented with excellent visual effects, sets representing the city of Thanjavur, the new city of Kanchi and Sri Lanka, bring to life Kalki’s prose that enchanted so many readers. Similarly fine attention to detail went into the costume design, hair and makeup, as well as the jewelry (pieces of which are now offered on sale) for not only the princes and other nobles but also the ladies from Nandini to the princess Kundavai (Trisha Krishnan).

Ratnam has always had a knack for drawing out the best performances from Rai Bachchan (with whom he collaborated on “Iruvar,” “Guru” and “Raavanan”), doing so once again in the star’s first screen role since 2018, even if her dialogue is spoken by Deepa Venkat. In the role of Vandiyadevan, Karthi brings exuberant action to the film; Ravi charms as Arunmozhi; and Vikram and Parthiban exhibit dangerous intent. Rai Bachchan is suitably scheming, as is Krishnan as the princess who only cares about the Chola kingdom and is jealous (with reason) of Nandini’s beauty and ability to beguile.

The film ends on a cliffhanger. While not yet shot, Part Two has been announced and is expected to be released in 2023.

Lal Salaam X (Twitter) Review: Fans Heap Praise on Rajinikanth

By Aditi Rathi

Tamil superstar Rajinikanth ‘s much-awaited film Lal Salaam has finally arrived in the theaters. Reportedly, the movie has taken the country by storm as people rush to theaters to watch the early show. Now, the film’s verdict is out, with X (formerly Twitter) being filled with netizens’ reactions to the movie.

Aishwarya Rajinikanth served as the film’s director, while Lyca Productions produced it. In the movie, Rajinikanth plays an extended cameo as Moideen Bhai. His character believes in communal harmony and teaches the same to others. The film follows the story of two aspiring cricketers played by Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth. They are kicked off their team despite their talent. As a result, they have to overcome all the hurdles to achieve their dreams.

Lal Salaam review: Netizens react to Rajinikanth’s latest movie

The celebration of Rajinikanth’s movie is no different than any festival in Tamil Nadu. The arrival of the film in the theaters is widely celebrated. Fans have been offering garlands to his cutouts and singing and dancing to his songs outside the theaters. Soon after watching the film, netizens revealed what they thought about the movie via X.

A user wrote, “Lal salaam Very first review from the source 1st Half – Above average 1st half with lot of village based and character defining moments,superstar intro (Presence:15 Mins). 2nd Half – Powerpacked performance by superstar (Presence: 30 min+) and movie is at a fast pace.

The audience has widely praised the film’s second half, most of which is credited to Rajinikanth’s screen presence. Another X user penned both positive and negative aspects of the movie.

The user wrote, “First, start with hats off to Aishwarya to have guts to touch a heavy and intense subject. Kudos. Positive: 1. Whole 2nd half 2. ARR BGM and songs 3. Used #SuperstarRajinikanth very well 4. Nirosha Natural acting 5. #SuperstarRajinikanth acting and dialogue delivery. Negative: 1. 1st half some scattered editing 2. Camera work and color grading 3. Slow at times. Verdict: Go and watch it.” Those who have already watched the movie are asking viewers to witness the magic of Thalaivar on the big screen.

In conclusion, Lal Salaam has extensively impressed the audience, and given Rajnikanth’s influence over people, his film seems to reach high expectations.

Always lookin' for what's cookin', Aditi is a fan of American sitcoms and Indian cinema. The combination is as quirky as she is. Apart from writing all day, you can catch her playing with her street dogs, painting, or cooking.

Thunivu movie review, release LIVE UPDATES: Ajith’s film opens to mixed reviews

Ajith-starrer thunivu movie review, movie launch live updates: ajith kumar's film thunivu is one of the most-awaited films of tamil cinema. the film is expected to face stiff competition from vijay's varisu which has also released on january 11..

In what is touted as one of the high points of Tamil cinema in 2023, Ajith Kumar’s Thunivu has clashed with Vijay’s Varisu at the box office. Trade experts predict a box office war this week between the two films. The two actors, Ajith and Vijay, are superstars in their own right, and it will be interesting to see how the two films will fare at the box office.

Thunivu is a heist thriller that has Ajith essaying the role of a bank robber. The trailer had him taking a bank hostage and demanding a huge sum. Unlike his previous ventures, Ajith seems to be playing a grey character in the film. It also stars actors Manju Warrier, John Kokken, and Samuthirakani. The movie has music by Ghibran.

Watch the trailer of Ajith Kumar’s Thunivu here:

The director of Thunivu, H Vinoth had earlier told indianexpress.com , “Thunivu is a multi-genre film with songs, comedy, fights, and everything you expect from a commercial film. To put it one line, it is a game of the wicked.” Thunivu marks Vinoth and Ajith’s third collaboration. The actor-director duo have earlier worked together in Nekronda Paarvai and Valimai.

Thunivu has received a good advance booking in Tamil Nadu . Film trade analyst Ramesh Bala shared on Twitter, “Excellent adv booking for both #Thunivu and #Varisu all over TN.” Speaking about the big box office clash between the two films, he also told Pinkvilla, “It is like Avengers and Avatar’s clash in Hollywood and Salman Khan -Shah Rukh Khan in Bollywood.”

Here are all the latest updates about Ajith's film Thunivu

Thunivu is largely entertaining as long as it stays cold and dark, and as long as Ajith walks, dances, and screams like a maniac. The moment it sobers up, it loses its wicked charm. Read More.

As per reports, both films are getting 80-90% occupancy in early shows. But the clash also means a share of the market, so the collections of both films might not be huge. It is a long extended weekend and holiday period so these Pongal releases can take advantage of that but it will depend on how Thunivu and Varisu are received.

A case has been reportedly filed against Vijay and Ajith fans for violating rules in Puducherry. A complaint has been filed against both fans for putting up banners without permission in areas including Annasalai, Thirammalai Adigal road. 10 cases were registered against Vijay and Ajith fans in various police stations.

Ajith and Vijay's movie shows will have the Tamil version of Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham's Pathaan trailer.

#WATCH | Chennai, Tamil Nadu: Fans of actor Ajith Kumar and of actor Vijay burst firecrackers, dance and celebrate outside a movie theatre as they gather to watch the former's #Thunivu and the latter's #Varisu Both films have released on the same day after 8 years. pic.twitter.com/3YKX2gtMRe — ANI (@ANI) January 11, 2023

Both Ajith Kumar and Vijay's fans were seen bursting firecrackers, dancing and celebrating outside a movie theatre as they gathered to watch the films Thunivu and Varisu.

The Ajith fan lost his life during the Thunivu movie celebration in Chennai. ANI reported, "Bharath Kumar, a fan of actor Ajith Kumar, who jumped in excitement from a slow-moving lorry succumbed to injuries on Poonamallee highways near Rohini theatre, Chennai. Case registered. He had come to watch Thunivu film's 1 am show at the theater: Police officials."

A fan @CinemaWithAB tweeted, "Appreciation post for #AjithKumar?? His swag, style, screen presence, dialogue delivery etc...everything excelled with his extraordinary efforts?? Personally felt this is the best performance of #AK in recent years?#Thunivu".

Shows for both Vijay and Ajith's films Varisu and Thunivu, respectively, began at 1 am and 4 am. As the fans gathered in large numbers, police had to lathi-charge at several locations. After Ajith's fans tore down a banner of Vijay's Varisu placed in the theatres, Vijay's fans also tore many banners of Ajith's Thunivu. This has stirred up an on-field battle between both fan clubs, and police officials came in to calm the situation.

Ajith stars in a decent heist film that is weighed down by generic tropes. The setup of Ajith and H Vinoth’s heist film is intriguing, but when the director finally shows all his cards, it’s not the royal flush one would want it to be.

Which movie will you watch on January 11? #Vijay #Ajith — Indian Express Entertainment (@ieEntertainment) January 10, 2023

Ramesh Bala, the box office tracker, says, “If Varisu and Thunivu had come out as a solo release, both the films would have earned about Rs 40 to 45 crore on the opening day in Tamil Nadu, but now, with them coming together, I think each one would earn around Rs 20-25 crore on the first day.” Read More.

Talking to indianexpress.com, H Vinoth shared that Ajith doesn't like his fans promoting his movies. He just wants them to watch his films and enjoy. Vinoth shared, "Ajith is okay with fans doing certain things for fun. But, he believes that they shouldn’t spend all their time just doing such things. He just wants them to watch when a new movie comes out and celebrate it. But, they shouldn’t abuse anyone using a film. Cinema must be just a part of their lives and not life itself." 

Talking about his association with Ajith Kumar, filmmaker H Vinoth told indianexpress.com, "Ajith doesn’t have the airs of a star. He behaves with everyone like a common man. On the sets, he will be like a man next door. We both have a comfortable relationship. We have mutual trust.”

Filmmaker Boney Kapoor, who has co-produced Thunivu, wished that the audience enjoys the film as much as they enjoyed making it. He told DT Next, "I hope you all go to the theaters to watch and enjoy the film as we have enjoyed making the film. I hope the film becomes successful as the team has worked very hard. Ajith and Vinoth have given their best. Manju Warrier has looked glamorous and has given her best. Let's hope everyone's good work is applauded.

The director of Thunivu, H Vinoth shared his two cents on the box office clash between Ajith's film and Vijay's Varisu on Thursday. He told indianexpress.com, "It’s in the hands of the fans to keep it (competition) healthy. Two films are coming out and there is a long holiday for the Pongal festival. People, who have money, can watch both films. Otherwise, they can select one film and watch it."

Film trade expert Ramesh Bala has shared on Twitter that Ajith Kumar's film Thunivu is leading in Tamil Nadu both in terms of screen count and advance bookings. He tweeted, "#Thunivu leads all over TN..Both in screen count and in adv booking.."

The fans of Ajith in the USA are all set for the release of Thunivu. The production house, Lyca Productions shared pictures of promotional vans of the film stationed outside Indian restaurants in Dallas.

USA ?? looks all set for the #THUNIVU ? premiere tomorrow, Jan 10th ? Here's a glimpse of promotional van ? across Dallas, TX #MyThunivuPongal ? #ThunivuPongal ? #NoGutsNoGlory ??? #AjithKumar ? #HVinoth ? @BoneyKapoor @ZeeStudios_ ? @BayViewProjOffl @sarigamacinemas pic.twitter.com/NZQgxELFqF — Lyca Productions (@LycaProductions) January 9, 2023

The Tamil Nadu government has cancelled the 4 am and 5 am shows of Ajith Kumar's Thunivu from January 13 to January 16. Also, the fans of the actor will not be allowed to anoint milk on the banners of the film placed outside the theaters. 

Speaking about working with Ajith for five years in a row, H Vinoth told indianexpress.com, "I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. It is pretty comfortable for me, so why not? To put it even more bluntly, the hero is giving me a chance to work with him for this long. So, I took it. Also, with any professional relationship, there will be small arguments and misunderstandings. Sometimes, his suggestions were right and sometimes mine were. But it comes down to trust. The belief that he has in me, and vice versa."

Maaveeran Movie Review: Sivakarthikeyan delivers an outstanding performance as Sathya, seamlessly transitioning from a meek artist to a fearless crusader. His portrayal of the internal struggle and transformation is commendable, evoking both empathy and admiration from the audience. Aditi Shankar shines as Sathya’s love interest, bringing depth and charm to her character. Their on-screen chemistry adds a touch of romance amidst the intense narrative.

Maaveeran Movie Review Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 4/5

Maaveeran Movie Cast: Sivakarthikeyan, Aditi Shankar, Saritha, Mysskin, Yogi Babu

Maaveeran Movie Director: Madonne Ashwin

Maaveeran Movie Plot: After suffering a head injury, Sathya, a shy cartoonist for a newspaper, starts hearing a voice that narrates his life as an epic story of bravery. The voice urges him to confront Jeyakodi, a corrupt politician, and embark on a heroic journey.

Maaveeran Movie Review

Maaveeran is a gripping Tamil film that takes the audience on an exciting journey of courage, determination, and justice. Directed by a talented team led by renowned filmmaker Mysskin, the movie showcases the exceptional acting skills of Sivakarthikeyan, Aditi Shankar, and a stellar cast. With its unique blend of drama, action, and social commentary, “Maaveeran” captivates viewers from start to finish.

The story revolves around Sathya, a timid newspaper cartoonist played convincingly by Sivakarthikeyan. After a head injury, Sathya starts hearing a mysterious voice narrating his life as an epic tale of heroism, urging him to take on Jeyakodi, a corrupt politician portrayed brilliantly by Mysskin. This twist sets the stage for an engaging battle between good and evil, with Sathya being the unexpected hero.

Sivakarthikeyan delivers an outstanding performance as Sathya, seamlessly transitioning from a meek artist to a fearless crusader. His portrayal of the internal struggle and transformation is commendable, evoking both empathy and admiration from the audience. Aditi Shankar shines as Sathya’s love interest, bringing depth and charm to her character. Their on-screen chemistry adds a touch of romance amidst the intense narrative.

The supporting cast also delivers exceptional performances. Saritha, portraying Sathya’s mother, brings warmth and emotional depth to the story. Monisha Blessy as Sathya’s sister and Yogi Babu as his friend provide moments of levity and camaraderie, lightening the mood amidst the tension. Sunil, as the police officer, showcases his versatility and adds an element of suspense to the plot.

Director Mysskin’s vision is evident throughout the film, as he deftly weaves together various elements to create a thought-provoking narrative. The film not only entertains but also addresses important social issues, highlighting the consequences of corruption and the power of individual courage to bring about change. Mysskin’s storytelling techniques, combined with strong dialogue and captivating visuals, keep the audience engaged and invested in the story.

The film’s technical aspects, including cinematography, editing, and sound design, contribute to its overall impact. The action sequences are well choreographed and visually appealing, enhancing the adrenaline-pumping moments. The music and background score effectively heighten the emotional impact of key scenes, complementing the narrative beautifully.

Maaveeran is a well-crafted film that successfully combines entertainment with a powerful message. It reminds us of the potential within each individual to rise above their limitations and fight against injustice. The film’s strong performances, engaging storyline, and social relevance make it a must-watch for Tamil cinema enthusiasts.

Thunivu Movie Review: Thala Ajith Serves His Fans What They Asked For, But If They Make This A Hit Then They Really Deserve This!

The story is exactly like the office's iconic dialogue: "sometimes start a sentence, and don't even know where it's going. just hope find it along the way.".

Star Cast: Ajith Kumar, Manju Warrier, Bagavathi Perumal, Mohanan Sundaram

Director: H Vinoth

What’s Good: Thala Ajith serving his fans what they had asked for, because if they go on to make this a hit then they deserve this!

What’s Bad: A day before watching this film, one of my ears stopped hearing anything going deaf and now I know why!

Loo Break: Second half is a land of opportunities

Watch or Not?: Only if you can watch a film just because of one hero!

Language: Text

Available On: Theatrical Release

Runtime: 145 Minutes

Post a hurried & abrupt explanation as to why a Bank named ‘Your Bank’ has to be looted for 500 crores by a group of professional gangsters. They face the ‘Dark Devil’ inside the bank who’s also there to loot the bank but for 2,000 crores (because he’s Thala Ajith & the lead actor won’t loot the same amount as petty sidekicks).

Darkdevil puppets the gangsters to his tunes & is one step ahead of the police force outside the bank as well. How the second half remodels itself into a ‘social message’ film from being a broody dark-humour heist thriller is where the rest of the story unfolds.

Thunivu Movie Review: Script Analysis

H. Vinoth’s story had such a strong potential to be a crackling one throughout but suffers from the second-half syndrome of letting a tight pace go all haywire. Things just happen for the sake of giving closure to the already-dragged narrative. The story is exactly like The Office ‘s iconic dialogue: “Sometimes start a sentence, and don’t even know where it’s going. just hope find it along the way.”

Nirav Shah’s cinematography captures the ‘fan-service’ portions of the film with style but doesn’t really do much apart from that keeping things extremely basic. The action, on which the entire film capitalised, isn’t as great as one would hope for. The slo-mo sequences are too slow to even talk about most of them.

Thunivu Movie Review: Star Performance

Similar to Pongal 2023’s other release, Varisu, even Thunivu falls victim to the same complaint of relying too much on your lead i.e. Ajith Kumar in this case. We totally understand fans are going to see their favourite star on the big screen, but they want more than that. Thala Ajith roaring like a tiger & even moonwalking like Michael Jackson would’ve been accepted if the story around it would’ve been written stronger.

Manju Warrier restricts herself to playing the mysterious role of female presence in Ajith’s Darkdevil’s life. Unfortunately, she couldn’t rise more than that despite having all the scope of her character being written with a spin-off twist. Bagavathi Perumal as Anthony brings in a few laughs here and there, along with Mohanan Sundaram who plays the role of a journalist Mai Pa.

Thunivu Movie Review: Direction, Music

As a filmmaker, if you’re on a course to make a bank-heist film, you will take a good portion in the first half to explain the ‘WHY?’ part of the planned robbery. But, H Vinoth decides to take the entire film by injecting little pieces of information about why the heist was actually planned. His attempt at genre-jumping from first half to the second half doesn’t really give any fruitful returns.

Ghibran’s music fails to match the level of swag enamored by Thala Ajith. Apart from asking “Who’s da gangsta?” in a track, Thala doesn’t get a single tune to link his character with.

Thunivu Movie Review: The Last Word

All said and done, despite Thala Ajith’s a little exaggerated and gutsy performance, makers fail to cash in on the proper story by falling into their own cliched tropes of ‘masala’ cinem a.

Two and a half stars!

Thunivu Trailer

Thunivu releases on 11th January, 2023.
