Bhale Bhale Magadivoy (English: You are an interesting man) is a 2015 Indian Telugu-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Maruthi Dasari. Jointly produced by Bunny Vasu, V. Vamsi Krishna Reddy, and Pramod Uppalapati under their production companies GA2 Pictures and UV Creations, Bhale Bhale Magadivoy features Nani and Lavanya Tripathi in the lead roles, and Murli 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. Production commenced in March 2013, and the film's principal photography was completed in July 2015. 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.

It received positive reviews from critics and was a box office success, grossing over ₹550 million globally in its full run.
