Bangaarada Panjara (transl. Golden Cage) is a 1974 Indian Kannada-language comedy film directed by debutant V. Somashekhar and co-produced by actor Raja Shankar. It starred Dr. Rajkumar in the lead role along with Aarathi, K. S. Ashwath, Pandari Bai and Lokanath.[1][2] The movie saw a theatrical run of 25 weeks.[3]
The core plot of the movie is based on the Marathi play Ekta Jeev Sadashiv which had already been adapted into a 1972 Marathi movie Ekta Jeev Sadashiv starring Dada Kondke. The 2000 Hindi movie Jis Desh Mein Ganga Rehta Hain is based on the Marathi movie and this movie. The movie was remade in Telugu in 1978 as Dudu Basavanna starring Chalam with Pandari Bai reprising her role.[4] This was actor Chalam's fourth remake of Rajkumar movie after Bhale Jodi, Mayor Muthanna and Sampathige Savaal.
