Huchchi is a 2009 Indian Kannada-language psychological drama film directed by Venkatesh Panchangam and starring Pooja Gandhi in the titular role, Anant Nag and Soundarya. The film was released to negative reviews.
Chinnu's babysitter Preethi has acute psychosis after being abused from a rowdy alongside her mother as a child. While staying with Chinnu, Preethi imagines the rowdy and tries to protect Chinnu. Preeti's confused parents think that there actually is a rowdy harming their child. How a psychiatrist fixes the issue in Preethi's mind forms the rest of the story.
