Balam () is a 2009 Indian Tamil-language romantic drama film written and directed by Murali Krishna. The film stars Arvind Vinod and Deepa Chari, while Suhasini and Rahman appear in further supporting roles. Featuring music composed by Yugendran, the film was released on 25 December 2009.
Director Murali Krishna launched Arvind Vinod, previously a VJ on Sun Music, as the lead actor in the film. Likewise, Deepa Chari, then a model from Mumbaim was cast as the lead actress for her first Tamil venture. A song sequence was shot at Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad, in which the director made a cameo.
The soundtrack was composed by Yugendran.
Pavithra Srinivasan from Rediff.com stated it was "movies like C J Reddy Enterprises' Balam, directed by Muralikrishna, make you realise how a film with an experienced cast can go haywire, thanks to a few silly elements that simply take away the joy of story-telling". She added, "what's even more puzzling is what veteran actors like Rahman and Suhasini are doing in a film where there's no scope to flex even a little finger, let alone acting muscles".
