Dragons, Demons, and Drama: Why '45' is the My Most Anticipated Kannada Movie of 2025

Dragons, Demons, and Drama: Why '45' is the My Most Anticipated Kannada Movie of 2025

Okay, tell me you saw the teaser for "45"! If you have been online at all over the past couple of months, you have seen the poster for "45" going around. Every time I saw it, I would be confused. I would think, is this Shivaraj Kumar's 45 movie poster or something? You've seen it; it's him looking menacingly at the camera with red eyes. I was pretty intrigued when I saw it. Then, four months ago, they released a really cool preview where we see Raj B. Shetty take up a fight stance with flames in the background. He says in Kannada, which I'll obviously translate to English here, "Don't go looking for a fight. My mom enrolled me in karate classes when I was young." All the while, he looks very afraid, and I died laughing—I was on board! I thought, give me this film and give it to me right now!

Murphy: A Time Travel Love Story - Kannada Movie Review

The first time I came across anything related to this movie was through a music video featuring the song "Mogachi." This song is the quintessential upbeat track that I knew would be used for the movie's marketing, and indeed it was. Watching this video made me excited for the film, especially since it starred a cast of actors with whom I wasn't familiar. I love seeing new faces in the industry, so I quickly checked out the summary and learned that it was a time travel movie, which instantly locked me in.

"Laughing Buddha," starring Premod Shetty, is a film that follows a small-town constable whose perfect life seemingly gets turned upside down. The doctor diagnoses his wife with burnout, a viral YouTube video where he is being made fun of for being a police officer who isn’t fit. And To top it all off, due to an incident at the police station—which he had nothing to do with—he has to take a criminal home and get him to confess to his crimes. Will our constable ever get fit enough, and will he get the criminal to confess? This is what the rest of the film explores.

I recently watched the Kannada movie Juni on Amazon Prime Videos, and I have some thoughts . This is a romantic drama that revolves around Partha, a chef who runs an unsuccessful cafe, and Juni, an artist, fashion designer, and gym instructor. The two meet one day at Partha's cafe and quickly hit it off. They plan to meet for a date, but Juni doesn't show up. Curious about her absence, Partha visits Juni's house, where he discovers that she has multiple personality disorders.

Review Shakhahaari

Two things about this movie: it's fantastic, especially since I believe the director is a first-timer. Kudos to him for doing a wonderful job telling the story. Secondly, I did not see the plot twist coming. Let me know in the comments if you liked this movie and if you saw this plot twist coming."

Review of Ramana Avatara

This Movie is just okay, and God, do I feel terrible saying that. Rishi's portrayal of the character is a standout. His performance in this film is a testament to his talent, but the script could have used a little help. It's a missed opportunity because this film is a modern-day comic retelling of Ramayana.

This movie is the directed and written by Raghu Shastry, a talented filmmaker who previously brought us the delightful 'Run Anthony '.
