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!
The love between a nanny and a child is a complicated relationship that is often undervalued or overlooked due to the monetary aspect involved. But does that mean the nanny doesn’t love the child, or that they don’t share a genuine relationship? These are some of the questions posed by “Petals,” a kannada short film by Sharath Raysad. The film follows Ajji, a nanny who has cared for a little boy named Ayush since he was a baby and considers him her own. On her last day as his nanny, we witness her struggle to come to terms with this ending while trying to give Ayush the best farewell possible.
