Dharmapuri
The latest stylish flick from Captain and director perarasu. In this movie, Captain tries all sorts of tamilian styles like veshti, karagu dance costume, ayyanar sami costume etc. In this racy action thriller, in which the audience race out of the auditorium whenever there is a captain song/interval/climax, captain teaches the value of land(maNNu) and how a politician must behave.
Some salient features
*One of the best captain opening scenes. Villain fires a bullet and it doesn’t destroy captain. How? Captain has a plate(Literally a plate on which you eat food) inside his shirt. The bullet hits captains plate, reflects back and hits the villain. In football terms, the bullet hit the woodwork and bounced back. One of the most hilarious comedy opening, ever in a tamil film
*Captain’s name is shivaram. He owns a logistics shop, which supplies table/chair/vessels etc on rent to weddings. Good casting. Captain fits in the role, perfectly.
*Generally in tamil cine standards, hero will thaangify heroine in nenju. But in this movie, captain will thaangify heroine on his thoppai. In one song sequence, captain will be leaning backwards and standing. As in his leg, will be vertical till the region of thoppai. And from the thoppai region captain will be leaning backwards at an angle of 69 degrees 
Now, the heroine’s leg will also be on vertical position. And from her waist, she will be leaning on captain. Now in this position, captain will move behind in decent pace holding the heroine. During course of all this, they wont be holding their hands. Phew! Scientists from all over the world are analyzing this dance sequence. Some say, captains thoppai is similar to the shape of Jupiter planet.
*The above song sequence explains why, Namitha wasn’t considered for the role of heroine.
*This movie is a boon for mothers who want to make their babies eat food. Post interval, captain appears in a costume similar to that of Ayyanar. Any kid looking at that scene or photo, will start eating food and listen to what their mom/elders say. Move over poochandi
*Captain gives potty training, in this movie. For doubts look at this snap in which Captain explains the sitting position. He enacts the same position in some dances as well. So a helpful movie again for mothers.
*There is no need for a separate comedian in captain movies. Compared to the fun captain provides, no one can come close. By doing this, the director can reduce the length of the movie by around 20 to 30 minutes.
*Innovative ways of defeating villain. The villain asks captain ‘enakku maNNu venum’. He actually meant land. Now what captain does is something beyond imagination. He gathers the entire village, and everyone has a handful of maNNu. And they throw it on the villain. The villain pleads mercy.
Story: A good guy defeats bad guys, and teaches them a lesson by not violating the law. A hero who is loved by one and all. And the hero even explains to a MLA, the duties of a MLA.
On the whole a full entertainer for 50 Rs. Paisa Vasool. But I feel Captains movies can do away with heroine and comedian. In this way the movie duration will reduce by 1 hr. And similar to english movies, captains movies will be there for 1.5 hours only. Racy action comedy movies you see

just watched perarasu from the internet.. the way captain sodukkifies his fingers after interlocking them.. how could such pudgy fingers create that kind of noise ?

You missed one thing. Does the captain revel in his knowledge of statistical theory in this movie? Like, how many tables/chairs/vessels he owns?

//manushanga thalai mudi neeLama irukkalaam thaayee, aana pathini naaku neeLama irukkalaama naaye?’. The dog will run away and start barking at an old house away from the village. It will gather all the dogs in the village, and there will be non stop barking.//
