Director Arjun Janya's debut film, '45', is an ambitious project blending mythology, karma, and cosmic justice, inspired by the Garuda Purana. The story follows Vinay, a software engineer whose life is upended after accidentally killing a dog belonging to Rayappa. Rayappa vows revenge within 45 days, a period also significant in the Garuda Purana for a soul's journey. Vinay seeks protection from Shivappa to escape his fate. The film focuses on the relationships between the three main characters, minimizing commercial elements.
