[1] Kannabiran (Tamil) / Kannappa Rao (Telugu) is a powerful mafia lord.

He, along with his sons Vijaya and Jaya, spread terror around Chennai (Tamil) / Vishakhapatnam (Telugu).

[2][3] Captain was released on 25 February 1994,[4] alongside another Sarathkumar starrer Aranmanai Kaavalan.

[5] Malini Mannath, writing for The Indian Express, panned the film: "An insipid screenplay, jerky narration, careless handling of the subject, lack of continuity in scenes and lacklustre performances make Captain one of the worst of [Sarathkumar's] films".

[6] R. P. R. of Kalki wrote that by looking at the title, he thought this to be a story about a soldier who received a medal, but to his dismay, it had elements of military hotel, action, explosion, murder here and there it is a terrible rupture; on one side let it be that the film offers nothing new but do not understand what it is.
