List of Kannada films of 2006

The following is a list of films produced in the Kannada film industry in India in 2006, presented in alphabetical order.

This year started with a major blow with the demise of icon and legend of Kannada Cinema, Dr Rajkumar.

Slowly, later cinemas like Naayi Neralu and Care of footpath made waves across the country for its meaningful themes and messages. Commercially, My Autograph became one of top grossers, only to be surpassed by industry-hit and legacy movie, Mungaru Male by the end of the year. Mungaru Male became the first South Indian movie to cross 50 crores, grossing nearly 75 crores at the box office.[1]

This movie turned the fate of director, Yograj Bhat and actors Ganesh and Pooja Gandhi to become one of the leading stars in the industry for several years.

Sudeep, Ganesh, Pavitra Lokesh, Ramya, Pooja Gandhi and Master Kishan were recognised for their performances and contribution for this year majorly.
