Heggana Muddu, the third consecutive Daali Productions venture to hit theatres in 2026, is now available to stream. The film, directed by Avinash Balekkala, released on September 25, 2026, but did not work at the box office. Led by producer Daali Dhananjaya’s good pal Poorna Mysore, who was paired with actor-art director Arun Sagar’s daughter Aditi Sagar, the film’s poor theatrical showing impacted its OTT outing. But unlike other production ventures that landed on platforms like Sun NXT and Zee5, Heggana Muddu has made its way to Prime Video. The Kannada original film dropped on the platform on November 13, 2026.
Heggana Muddu follows Ajitha (Poorna Mysore) and Prerana (Aditi), a newly-married couple and the early days of them trying to build a relationship. For Prerana it is all a tad too overwhelming initially, but over time, she begins to warm up to her husband, only to later realize that he’s been pulling the strings of her life all along. Can Prerana forgive Ajitha’s deception and build a life with him or is it all too much to handle? That is at the centre of Avinash’s film, which should have, ideally, been a dialogue-centric relationship drama.
However, the filmmaker decided to add unnecessary twists and drama into the narrative almost splitting it into two distinctive branches with no connection to each other. This was the film’s biggest failing, with most reviews highlighting just how well he’d set up the relationship drama in the first half and then squandered it all thereafter.
Heggana Muddu was one of the last films that had been announced from Daali Pictures and given that the theatrical businesses of JC The University and Mother Promise earlier this year were also not much to speak of, the buzz is that the banner has put the brakes on new ventures for the time being. Jingo with Daredevil Musthafa director Shashank Soghal was announced two years ago, but there’ve been no further updates.
