#Captain For a change a indian biopic which is very realistic and doesn't try to pump your patriotic feelings..While there is lot to be desired on direction front, Jayasurya compensates with terrific portrayal of VP Sathyan..

#Captain A well made biopic on the life of VP Sathyan No commercial compromises But the film compromises on technical sides especially during the football match scenes(may be due to the budget constraint) #Jayasurya Outstanding performance after #Sudhivathmeekam 1/2
