Nee Nanna Gellalare is a 1981 Indian Kannada-language film directed by Vijay and produced by S.A. Srinivas. The film stars Rajkumar and Manjula .
Though the movie managed to recover its budget, the movie's performance is considered to be underwhelming with a theatrical run of only 63 days (approximately) which was the lowest ever for a Rajkumar movie until the release of the 1987 film, Ondu Muttina Kathe, which, however, was more of an art movie with an immense cult following.[2] This is the only movie of Rajkumar for which Ilaiyaraaja was the music composer.

The opening lines were also recreated in a sequence for the 2018 movie - The Villain.
