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. The movie saw a theatrical run of 25 weeks. The core plot of the movie is based on the Vasant Sabnis's Marathi play Ekta Jeev Sadashiv which had earlier been adapted into a 1972 Marathi movie of the same name starring Dada Kondke.
