Nari Nari Naduma Murari is a 1990 Telugu-language romantic comedy film directed by A. Kodandarami Reddy. The film stars Nandamuri Balakrishna, Shobana, and Nirosha in lead roles. It was produced by K. Murari under the Yuva Chitra Arts banner. The story is set in the fictional village of Nakkabokkalapaadu and revolves around a wealthy woman who opposes her nephew's attempts to marry her daughters. Music for the film was composed by K. V. Mahadevan. The soundtrack includes the song "Em Vaana," which was inspired by Ilaiyaraaja's composition from the Tamil film Dharma Pathini.

The pre-climax sequence features a 20-minute stretch without the lead actor, an unusual choice for a mainstream Telugu film at the time.
