Captain of the ship) is a 2014 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film[2] written and directed by Magizh Thirumeni and produced by Nemichand Jhabak.
The film stars an ensemble cast of Arya, Hansika Motwani, Ashutosh Rana, Sudhanshu Pandey, Ramana, Ashish Vidyarthi, Mahadevan, and Harish Uthaman.
In Goa, 6 dead bodies are washed ashore where the police department deduce that Jothi, a drug lord is responsible for the mess.
Arul is into this mission, along with his best friend and colleague Karthik, who also takes a stage name as Malik and works for Sharma, another drug lord from Gujarat, who is in possession of 1000 kg of pure cocaine and is looking for a buyer.
The plan of Bharathi, Benjamin, and their team is to make Sharma and Jothi meet each other for the transaction of the 1000 kg of cocaine and arrest them.
Bharathi and her team wisely plan to capture the huge bulk of 900 kg of drugs, along with Sharma and Jothi, so they have to leave the first trial transaction unmonitored.
It is then revealed that his neighbour Usha, who was in love with Arul, had been secretly recording videos of him for her to admire, but her phone falls into the hands of Jothi's men.
Jothi and his men beat Arul savagely, keep him bound in a harbour, and ask him the whereabouts of Sharma's remaining 900 kg of cocaine.

[21] M. Suganth of The Times of India gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Meaghamann takes a while to pick up...But once we get the background info on the various gangs, cops and the moles on either side, we are drawn into the plot, which is intricately woven and manages to keep us on the edge of our seats".
[23] Sify wrote, "Meaghamann is another film where the plot is ambitious and paper work is good but falls short in execution.
