45 Box Office Collection Day 5 Update: Shiva Rajkumar-Upendra Film Drops to ₹0.85 Cr on Monday
The Kannada fantasy action thriller 45, starring Shiva Rajkumar and Upendra, faced the typical Monday test on Day 5 (December 29, 2025). Early estimates indicate the film collected around ₹0.85 Cr Kannada Net, marking a significant drop from the weekend. The 5-day total now stands at approximately ₹12.3 Cr India Net. Released on Christmas Day (December 25), the Arjun Janya directorial has shown steady but limited performance in Karnataka amid direct competition from Kichcha Sudeep's Mark. With dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Telugu set for release on January 1, 2026, the makers are eyeing a wider audience in the New Year week. Let's break down the latest figures.

Day 5 vs Previous Day Comparison
The film saw a steep drop on its first Monday, falling from ₹2 Cr (rough) on Sunday to ₹0.85 Cr – a decline of over 57%. This sharp fall is expected post-holiday for regional films without strong word-of-mouth. Competition from Mark and national holdovers reduced screen share, and the Monday being a working day further impacted footfalls. New Year holidays and upcoming dubbed releases could provide some recovery.
Trade Verdict Analysis
Trade analysts view the performance as below expectations so far. The Christmas opening was decent, but the inability to hold or grow over the weekend points to challenges. Current trajectory suggests a lifetime Kannada Net of ₹20-25 Cr, leaning toward an Average verdict in its original language. The upcoming dubbed versions (Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu on January 1, 2026) are seen as a strategic move to expand reach and potentially boost overall numbers. Analysts note that while Shiva Rajkumar and Upendra's star power ensured a holiday start, mixed reviews and clash impact have limited momentum. New Year week will be critical.
Audience Reaction
Audience feedback is mixed. Fans of Shiva Rajkumar and Upendra appreciate the unique Garuda Purana-inspired concept, performances, and spiritual elements – many call it a "thought-provoking entertainer". Action sequences and emotional moments have been praised in mass centres. However, some viewers found the pacing slow and narrative confusing, leading to average word-of-mouth. Social media trends are moderate in Karnataka, with positive posts from core fans but limited buzz outside. Overall, it's appreciated by its target audience, but not generating widespread excitement for repeats.
