Tharle Nan Maga (transl. Naughty fellow) is a 1992 Indian Kannada-language comedy drama film written and directed by Upendra in his directorial debut, which stars Jaggesh and Anjali Sudhakar in lead roles, who also made their debuts in lead roles with the film. The film was reportedly based loosely on Jean-Paul Sartre's short story Erostasus. Upendra also made a cameo appearance in the film. The film was a box office success and became a cult classic.

The story revolves around a miserly couple Parandamaiah Urbagal (Bank Janardhan) and Subbalakshmi (Satyabhama), who want their son Santhosh Urbagal (Jaggesh) to marry a rich girl, for want of dowry. Santhosh, however, marries a girl from a poor financial background, antagonizing them. How son changes his parents outlook forms rest of the story.
