Jackie is a 2010 Indian Kannada-language action film directed by Duniya Soori and produced by Parvathamma Rajkumar.[4] The film stars Puneeth Rajkumar and Bhavana in the lead roles, while Sumithra, Harshika Poonacha, Rangayana Raghu, Petrol Prasanna, Vikas and Ravi Kale appear in supporting roles.[5]

Jackie was released on 14 October 2010 to critical acclaim from critics. The film is noted for its technical prowess, witty dialogues and lyrics, combined with an art that has become a trademark of Soori's rustic feel cinema.[6][7]

Jackie was also considered one of the trendsetting films of the Kannada cinema and one of the landmark movies in Puneeth Rajkumar's career. It was especially noted for its music by V. Harikrishna. Yograj Bhat was the lyricist for all the songs of the film. The album, which celebrated its platinum disc, is also available as a 5.1 audio DVD disc.[8][9] After successful screening in Australia, United Kingdom and Germany, the film was released in US and Singapore in February 2011.[10]

A portion of the song Kannalle Eno from Rajkumar's 1980 movie Vasantha Geetha was re-used in the title track of the film.[11][12] The film was dubbed and released in Telugu on 6 May 2011.[1][13][14] The film was adjudged the Best Film of 2010 at the South Filmfare Awards. The film was re- released grandly with upgraded technical features on 15 March 2024 to commemorate Puneeth's birth anniversary.[15][16]
