Shiva Rajkumar’s 45, helmed by director Arjun Janya, wrapped up filming before the actor headed to the Miami Cancer Institute in the USA for surgery. The plan was to release 45 after Bhairathi Ranagal (2024), the prequel to his 2017 blockbuster Mufti. While Bhairathi Ranagal hit theaters on November 15, 2024, 45 is still awaiting its big-screen debut.

When is 45 releasing?

Well, the wait is almost over. 45 is set to hit theaters on August 15, 2025, in just seven months. The film is currently in post-production, with the delay attributed to extensive VFX work.

Marz (Monsters Aliens Robots Zombies) is a Canadian VFX studio handling the visual effects. The studio is expected to wrap up its work by May, giving the filmmakers enough time to review the output and request any necessary corrections.

Malayalam superstar Mammootty is back, and this time he’s cranking up the action meter to full throttle with Turbo. Directed by the acclaimed Vysakh, this movie promises a pulse-pounding experience, and boy, does it deliver. Released worldwide on June 13, 2024, Turbo is all about speed, grit, and some jaw-dropping stunts that’ll leave you on the edge of your seat.

Turbo Plotline on Fire

In Turbo, Mammootty steps into the shoes of Turbo Jose, a no-nonsense enforcer with a mysterious past. His mission? To dismantle a massive criminal network spanning multiple states, led by the devious antagonist, played impeccably by Kannada actor Raj B Shetty. The film marries high-speed car chases with raw emotional drama, making it a rollercoaster ride from start to finish.

The supporting cast is equally impressive, with actors like Sunil and Anjana Jayaprakash adding layers to the narrative. And let’s not forget those unexpected twists...

If you’re a fan of epic storytelling, stunning visuals, and gripping narratives, then buckle up because Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana is about to take you on a cinematic rollercoaster! South Indian cinema has been hitting us with some serious gems lately, but this one? It’s the shining star you won’t want to miss. Let’s dive into why this movie should absolutely be on your radar.

The Perfect Blend of Mythology and Modern Drama

First off, let’s talk about the name. Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana—doesn’t that title just scream epic? The film draws inspiration from Hindu mythology, with Garuda, the mighty eagle and mount of Lord Vishnu, and Vrishabha, the bull, the vehicle of Lord Shiva. This ancient lore is cleverly intertwined with a modern tale that explores the complexities of power, rivalry, and friendship. Without giving too much away, think of it as...

Bringing the divine Hindu Trinity of Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma into an organized crime setting in Mangalore, “Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana” is essentially the story of two brotherly friends who were polar opposites and the chaos they brought into the area.

Where to watch

The movie begins by presenting one of the two, Hari who was born and raised in Mangaladevi, with his impact in the local society being quite evident from his interactions with the police and the reactions of the people around him. The story then turns to Shiva, through an extensive flashback that shows how he was discovered as a kid in a bag, injured, half-dead, and in evident shock. After begging in the streets for some time, he was taken in by Hari’s mother, and the two grew up as brothers. However, it soon became evident that Shiva was an ultraviolent sociopath, something that fully manifested during their youth days,...

Turbo Movie Review Out ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

What’s Good: The fight choreography and visuals, especially with Mammootty, are genuinely electrifying. Mammootty‘s precision and stylish delivery of knockout punches make every fight sequence a thrilling spectacle! The Hollywood pop culture references, like Turbo Jose’s mother mourning Tony Stark’s death or a local don channeling Vito Corleone with a similar mustache, clothing, and demeanor, add fun and nostalgia to the movie.

What’s Bad: The movie had a few plot holes towards the end and lacked iconic music. Although the soundtrack was good and served its purpose, it had no standout tracks that left a lasting impression. In some scenes, a turbo spooling noise and horn sound are used as background sounds for Mammootty’s character before he appears.

Directed by Raj B. Shetty, the film Swathi Mutthina Male Haniye is sure to make you cry your eyes out! The art drama will make sure that we get a better insight into our lives and start understanding its meaning better. The complexities of life lead to only one path, ‘death,’ which is the most peaceful of all experiences that humans have gathered in a lifetime. The concept of time slipping out of lovers’ hands can be compared to The Fault in Our Stars directed by Josh Boone. So the question here is: how did Aniketh change Prerana’s life? Will Prerana be able to fight death and save Aniketh? Let’s find out!

In the 2021 film, which he also wrote and directed, Shiva stood as a model for a kind of muffled angst that Raj had presented a variant of a couple of years prior, in his debuting outing Ondu Motteya Kathe.
