A 1987 Telugu film directed by Jandhyala Subramanya Sastry and a 2011 Telugu film directed by Veerabhadram Chowdary were named after the song "Aha Naa Pellanta" from the film; both were successful. Jandhyala Subramanya Sastry named his 1988 Telugu films "Vivaaha Bhojanambu" and "Choopulu Kalasina Subhavela" after the songs of the same name. Telugu comedian Mallikarjuna Rao considered "Mayabazar" to be the "greatest comedy film ever", adding that it represents "one of the most transcendental and joyful experiences any movie-lover can hope for". Telugu director Mohan Krishna Indraganti named his second film "Mayabazar" (2006, also a fantasy film). Regarding his title, Indraganti said he was a fan of "Mayabazar" and named his film (produced by B. Satyanarayana) at the insistence of writer D. V. Narasaraju.
