45

Vinay (Raj B. Shetty) is a carefree software engineer living a content, middle-class life with his loving mother and girlfriend Meghana (Kaustubha Mani). One day, he rides his two-wheeler without a helmet while talking on his phone and accidentally runs over a black dog named Rosie, owned by local don Rayappa (Upendra). Rayappa, grief-stricken and enraged, confronts Vinay and condemns him for killing Rosie who he considered a mother figure. Instead of executing him immediately, Rayappa gives Vinay 45 days to reflect on his actions and relive life, invoking a concept from the Garuda Purana about the soul’s journey. Frightened and desperate, Vinay seeks refuge. His girlfriend Meghana approaches Muthu, another gangster, for protection. During this turmoil, Vinay meets Shivanna (Shiva Rajkumar), a humble and philanthropic figure who owns a residential colony called Kasturi Nivasa. Meanwhile, Vinay begins experiencing a vivid dream: he watches himself die in a road accident and then sees a sequence of events that eerily come true, including the fatal encounter with the dog. His growing awareness of these supernatural patterns deepens his fear and sense of impending doom. Shivanna plays mentor and protector, guiding Vinay spiritually and practically as he tries to avoid Rayappa’s wrath. Rayappa is later revealed to symbolize Yamaraja (the Hindu god of death), pursuing Vinay to settle karmic scores.
