Bavagaru Bagunnara (transl.Brother-in-law, how are you?) is a 1998 Indian Telugu-language romantic comedy drama film directed by Jayanth C. Paranjee and produced by Nagendra Babu under Anjana Productions banner. The film stars Chiranjeevi, Rambha, and Rachana, with a supporting cast including Paresh Rawal, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Srihari, and Brahmanandam. The film follows Raju, a restaurant owner in New Zealand, who becomes involved in a series of comedic and emotional situations after offering assistance to a pregnant woman, Sandhya. The movie is loosely inspired from the Hollywood movie A Walk in the Clouds.

Released on 9 April 1998, the film became a major commercial success. The film's soundtrack, composed by Mani Sharma, was popular, with the track "Aunty Koothura" becoming a major hit. The film was also praised for its visually appealing scenes, particularly those shot in New Zealand, and for its stunts, including a bungee jump performed by Chiranjeevi, which became one of the film's highlights. Bavagaru Bagunnara was later remade in Hindi as Kunwara (2000) and in Bangladesh as Jamai Shashur (2003).
