Seasons

Season 1 (2025)

Arikuttan and his misfit gang - Maniyan, Kanji, Moonga, and Althaf come from a slum in Thiruvanchipuram, dreaming of earning respect by sponsoring the local temple festival. But their journey of petty crime brings them small victories and heartbreaks. In 2018, an older Arikuttan hires a ghostwriter to rewrite his past. With biting dark humour, quirky rhythms, and a visually playful style, 4.5 Gang reimagines a gangster saga with wit, chaos, and raw emotion.

Episodes:

Ep. 1: Attack on the Cop (2025-08-29)

In 2004, a gold-smuggling heist leaves young Arikuttan scarred and entangled in violence. Fourteen years later, he arrives in Auran seeking a ghostwriter to reshape his crime-ridden past, as memories of his youth in Thiruvanjipuram - friendships, betrayals, and clashes with local goons - come flooding back.
Ep. 2: Gangster take over Ponakavu (2025-08-29)

As SI Suresh recovers, Arikuttan and his friends are drawn deeper into revenge, leading them to Bonakkad, a criminal hideout with ties to their past. When a violent act changes everything, the boys commit their first crime and go into hiding, setting in motion consequences that will haunt them all.
Ep. 3: Ponkashi Milk Mafia at large (2025-08-29)

After surviving a near-fatal shooting, Arikuttan finds himself cared for by his friends and SI Suresh. As Maniyan pursues music and love, Kanji enters PSC training, and Moonga lures the gang into a lucrative milk smuggling scam with Suresh at its core. Their newfound prosperity fuels ambition and reckless choices - from kidnapping a music director to brutal revenge on Senthil for misbehaving with women. But as the gang enjoys cars, cable TV, and influence, Inspector Stalin's pursuit puts a dent into their plan.
Ep. 4: Goons take over the state capital (2025-08-29)

While serving time in jail, Arikuttan reconnects with his estranged father, forging an uneasy bond. Meanwhile, Senthil's wealthy plantation family retaliates for his public humiliation by sending an army of workers led by Muthuvel to Thiruvanjipuram, unleashing a wave of violence against local gangs. As Maniyan's dreams are shattered in the clashes and the city descends into chaos, unlikely alliances form, but peace only returns once the Tamil gang withdraws - leaving behind broken clubs, ruined friendships, and broken Thadippalam on the brink of demolition.
Ep. 5: Cold-blooded Christmas (2025-08-29)

As SI Suresh plots to seize control of the city's flower trade from the powerful Pookada Vava, Arikuttan and his gang are drawn into a dangerous scheme of arson and revenge. Meanwhile, Maniyan's dreams of becoming a singer unravel in jealousy and violence, leaving Pranita devastated. In the present day, Arikuttan urges his ghostwriter to paint him as a victim, but the truth of Vava's death casts a darker shadow over his story.
Ep. 6: Gunfires at the Festival (2025-08-29)

After the murder of Pookada Vava, suspicion falls on Kanji, who is arrested and sentenced, while Arikuttan rises in power, winning tenders and fulfilling his childhood dream of leading a temple festival. Maniyan finds fame as a singer, but tragedy strikes when Ramani, seeking vengeance for her husband's death, unleashes a violent chain of retribution. As betrayal, love, and ambition collide, Arikuttan's world spirals into bloodshed and loss, leaving behind only fragments of memory - and a half-finished book that may be his last attempt at redemption.
