# List of Kannada films of 2004

The following is a list of films produced in the Kannada film industry in India in 2004, presented in alphabetical order.
A tough phase for the industry that lost iconic actors Soundarya and Lokesh. 2004 had Soundarya's last film Apthamitra with Vishnuvardhan as the biggest hit becoming the highest grossing kannada film ever at that time with the highest footfalls. Malla marked Ravichandran's comeback with a blockbuster while Sudeep's Ranga SSLC and Darshan's Kalasipalya too became successful. Ramesh Aravind had a decent year with Apthamitra and Joke Falls.
In terms of actresses, Ramya for Ranga SSLC, Rakshita for Kalasipalya, Neethu for Joke Falls, Priyanka Upendra for Malla and Kanti, Anu Prabhakar with 5 movies, had an eventful year.
