Dhanush’s Captain Miller has earned acclaim and accolades from critics and audiences alike for its tight script, strong performances and present-day relevance. Set in the pre-independence era, the film focuses on the life of Analeesan (Dhanush), also known as Eesa. After his mother's death, Eesa spends time idly in his village, while his elder brother, Sengola (Shiva Rajkumar), who actively participates in the Indian Independence movement.

When Eesa faces a conflict with the villagers and is asked to leave, he decides to join the British Indian army to earn respect.

Disturbed by this, he leaves the army and transforms into the revolutionary ‘Captain Miller.'
