Missed it in theatres? Watch ‘45’ on TV this weekend; Here’s when and where

The channel that brings popular shows like Karna, Amruthadare, Naa Ninna Bidalaare, Puttakkana Makkalu and several other household favourites is all set to present a grand World Television Premiere of the much-discussed fantasy action drama 45. The film will premiere on February 22 at 4:30 PM, promising viewers an intense cinematic experience packed with emotion, philosophy and edge-of-the-seat drama. Blending supernatural elements with high-octane action and strong emotional undertones, 45 marks the directorial debut of celebrated music composer Arjun Janya. The film is produced by M. Ramesh Reddy under the Suraj Productions banner. With a powerful ensemble and a thought-provoking narrative, 45 stands out as a unique attempt in Kannada cinema that explores life, destiny and redemption through a gripping fantasy lens. The film brings together three celebrated stars — Hattrick Hero Shiva Rajkumar, Real Star Upendra and National Award-winning actor Raj B. Shetty — in a rare and exciting collaboration. Their on-screen chemistry and intense performances add gravitas to a story that blends philosophy with mass appeal, making it a compelling watch for audiences across age groups. 45 follows the journey of Vinay (Raj B. Shetty), a carefree software engineer living a content life with his mother and girlfriend Meghana. His world turns upside down after he accidentally runs over a black dog named Rosie, dearly loved by local don Rayappa (Upendra). Instead of immediate retribution, Rayappa gives Vinay 45 days to reflect on his actions, invoking the Garuda Purana’s belief about life after death. Haunted by guilt and fear, Vinay begins experiencing chilling dreams that mysteriously start manifesting in reality — including premonitions of his own fate. Amid this psychological and emotional turmoil, he encounters Shivanna (Shiva Rajkumar), a compassionate yet powerful figure who becomes his guide and protector. As the countdown begins, Vinay is forced to confront his inner demons, karmic consequences and a destiny that seems beyond his control. Speaking about the television premiere, the Chief Channel Officer and Business Head of Kannada content said that the coming together of Shiva Rajkumar, Upendra and Raj B. Shetty makes 45 a truly special film. He added that watching these three stalwarts share screen space is an electrifying experience, with each bringing intensity, charisma and emotional depth to the narrative. According to him, the premiere is a celebration of three iconic performers coming together for television audiences. Will Vinay escape the fate that seems written for him, or will the 45-day countdown lead him to an unavoidable destiny? Find out when 45 makes its World Television Premiere on February 22 at 4:30 PM, only on the channel known for blockbuster shows like Karna, Amruthadare, Naa Ninna Bidalaare and Puttakkana Makkalu.
