Bhale Bhale Magadivoy (transl. You are an interesting man) is a 2015 Indian Telugu-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Maruthi. Produced by Bunny Vasu under the production companies GA2 Pictures and UV Creations, Bhale Bhale Magadivoy stars Nani and Lavanya Tripathi, with Murali Sharma, Ajay, Naresh, Sithara, and Vennela Kishore in supporting roles. The film revolves around Lucky, an absent-minded plant scientist and his efforts to hide his inherent memory-related flaws from Nandana, a benevolent Kuchipudi dancer with whom he is in a relationship.
The title Bhale Bhale Magadivoy was borrowed from a song of the same name composed by M. S. Viswanathan for K. Balachander's 1978 Telugu film Maro Charitra. Gopi Sunder composed the film's soundtrack and background score. Principal photography began in March 2013, and ended that July. Including post-production tasks, the film was completed in seven months. Though mostly shot in and around Hyderabad, one of the songs was filmed in Goa.
Produced on a budget of around ₹7–9 crore,[a] Bhale Bhale Magadivoy was released on 4 September 2015 in 700 screens across the globe. It received positive reviews from critics and was a box office Blockbuster, grossing over ₹50.05 crore globally in its full run. At the time of its release, it became the fourth-highest grossing Telugu film of all time at the United States box office, where it was released in 115 screens. The film received three nominations at the 63rd Filmfare Awards South: Best Film (Telugu), Best Actor (Telugu) and the Critics Best Actor – Telugu for Nani, winning the latter most. It was remade in Kannada as Sundaranga Jaana in 2016 and in Tamil as Ghajinikanth in 2018.
