The Arjun Janya directorial is being praised for its quirky concept. However, many mentioned in their reviews that while the vision is good, it has not translated as well onscreen. Nevertheless, the power-packed performances from the cast makes 45 worth a watch.

Mark records a better opening day collection than 45

Kichcha Sudeep features in the action film Mark. On its opening day, it collected ₹7.5 crore despite facing stiff competition from 45. Sudeep plays the role of a cop in this action thriller and has some entertaining set pieces in the movie that definitely merit a big screen watch.

Many watchers have commented that Mark is strictly for Sudeep's fans as the action scenes will get them hooting for the Kannada star. Since 45 has received comparatively better reviews, it is likely to do better biz than Mark in the coming days.
