Captain Miller is the soundtrack to the 2024 Tamil film of the same name directed by Arun Matheswaran and produced by Sathya Jyothi Films, starring Dhanush, Shiva Rajkumar, Priyanka Arul Mohan, Aditi Balan, Sundeep Kishan, Edward Sonnenblick and John Kokken. The film's musical score is composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar with lyrics written by Kaber Vasuki, Umadevi, Vivek and Arunraja Kamaraj. The soundtrack featured five songs released under the Saregama label. All of them were released as singles.
Development[edit]
Captain Miller is Prakash's seventh collaboration with Dhanush after Polladhavan (2007), Aadukalam (2011), Mayakkam Enna (2011), Asuran (2019), Maaran (2022) and Vaathi (2023) and his first with Matheswaran. Unlike Matheswaran's previous ventures, Rocky (2021) and Saani Kaayidham (2022) where he used minimal music (mostly relying on silence) to underline the isolation of the principal characters, the film needed background music for highlighting the emotional journey of the characters and felt Prakash was the perfect fit for the film.[1] Composition for the musical score began on late-February 2023. On 29 March, Prakash revealed that he had composed the background score for portions of the film which had been shot, with around four cues had been shot to sync sound and edited with the filmed portions. He previously did for the "Celebration of Life" theme from Aayirathil Oruvan (2010).[2][3] Prakash further revealed that the film's music will be reminiscent of Django Unchained (2012) and the compositions of Ennio Morricone in Western films.[4] The music rights were acquired by Saregama.[5] The recording and mixing of the score had been completed on 10 January 2024, two days before the film's release.[6]
Album information[edit]
"Killer Killer" was the first single to be released from the album. In mid-September 2023, Prakash shared the lyrics for the first stanza of the song through his X (formerly Twitter) account which was written by Kaber Vasuki,[7][8] and the second stanza on November.[9] He further revealed that the song has been sung by Dhanush, who recorded his vocals at Prakash's studio in the same month.[10] The song was released on 25 November 2023.[11] "Un Oliyile" was the second single track from the film, penned by Vasuki and sung by Sean Roldan—collaborating with Prakash for the second time after previously singing "Sottangalla" from Japan.[12] The single was released on 23 December 2023.[13]
The third single "Koranaaru" is a dance number picturized between Dhanush and Shiva Rajkumar, and is accompanied with udukai, thavil and bass instruments. Deva, Santhosh Hariharan and Alexander Babu, recorded the track which had lyrics written by Umadevi.[14] The song was released on 3 January at the film's pre-release event.[15] The fourth single "Kombari Vettapuli" sung by Dhee, and lyrics written by Vivek, was released on 7 January.[16] The fifth single track "Rise of Miller" written and sung by Arunraja Kamaraj released ahead of the film, on 11 January.[17]

Reception[edit]
The Indian Express-based critic called "Killer Killer" as a "war cry" number,[18] while S. Devasankar of Pinkvilla reviewed the song "Un Oliyile" as a "heartfelt romantic song" that starts with "a touch of poetry and carries a melancholic yet hopeful melody".[19] The film's background score received praise with Janani K. of India Today wrote that Prakash is "his best form" in the film, with the "thumping background music, especially the 'Killer Killer' sequence, makes you root for the character."[20] Gopinath Rajendran of The Hindu said that Prakash "retains his fantastic streak with Dhanush" with his music and the visuals (by Siddhartha Nuni) adding "great value for the film".[21] Hindustan Times-critic Latha Srinivasan said that Prakash's background score and "Killer Killer" had "elevated the film" further adding that, "combining different music styles keeping in tune with the director’s style of filmmaking, GV [Prakash] has more than delivered on this project."[22] M. Suganth of The Times of India praised Prakash, "who manages to bring in emotions lacking in the film with his fabulous background score [...] he has perfectly blended rural percussion with fusion that soothes as well as pump up the audience."[23] Lakshmi Subramanian of The Week wrote "G.V. Prakash rocks with his background score".[24]
