Our Balaji) is a 1999 Indian Telugu-language comedy-drama film directed by Kodi Ramakrishna.

However, he is saved and lands up in the house of a rich Punjabi man Balwinder Singh whose mute daughter Pooja falls in love with him.

[3] Griddaluru Gopala Rao of Zamin Ryot gave the film a negative review criticising the story, characterisations, dialogues, and direction as clichéd, and artificial.

[4] A critic from Sify wrote that "A remake of the Malayalam movie, 'Punjabi House', it is meant to be a rib-tickler but the Telugu version, 'Maa Balaji comes out a cropper as the theme has nothing much to boast by way of being a comedy".

Another point that needs mention is that the movie is not crammed with unnecessary roles in the name of comedy".
