The mythology connect is the key, but the rest is unstable at lot parts. Though the result, the Stars haven't let down their intuits. The VFX is brilliantly rendered through the whole. Liked all the old movie references.
Totally an average watch.

This Christmas, have a blast! 🎄🔥

#45 isn't just a fantasy-based film, it's a reminder of what we lost and what we must never forget.

Director #ArjunJanya delivers an intriguing narrative that does full justice to Indian sensibility storytelling with a solid VFX makeover. Dialogues and background score elevate the experience, and the mind-blowing climax guarantees goosebumps.

UPPI returns in blazing form after a long time - intense, restrained, and commanding. #Shivanna delivers a knockout act with GODMODE MASS, while #RajBShetty's calculated performance works brilliantly.

Final word: #45 is a soulful entertainer with strong Indian values, and it works like magic on the big screen.

A Sure Shot SUPER HIT...

Cineloka.co.in: #45TheMovie is a Sincere Attempt by Debutant Arjun Janya,blending the Garuda Purana Concept into a Commercial setup.

Uppi & Raj are Good,but Shivanna Truly Shines👌

Minor VFX issues & Forced Comedy aside, the film ends on a Solid Climax.

Must Watch for #Shivanna fans.

3.75/5

Siddegowda Shyam Prasad | ಎಸ್ ಶ್ಯಾಮ್ ಪ್ರಸಾದ್ |: A 21st Century, modern reboot of Bhakta Markandeya. It isn't the same story but the underlying theme matches. Now guess who is Markandeya, who's Yama and who's Shiva?
