Anando Brahma is a 2017 Indian Telugu-language comedy horror film written and directed by Mahi V. Raghav, starring Tapasee Pannu, Srinivas Reddy, Shakalaka Shankar, and Vennela Kishore.
Vamshi conspires with Yadagiri to force Ramu to sell his house cheaply by fabricating and peddling the ghost story.
Babu, who is so infatuated with movies that he starts enacting the roles he watches, is duped by Bharani, who poses himself as an agent of famous cinema producers in Tollywood.
Tulasi, a drunkard who drinks after the clock ticks nine at night, bets on a cricket match in an inebriated state and loses the money he saved for his son's surgery.
However, all four friends remain calm due to their peculiar habits, like Babu, who starts acting out scenes like Vikram from Anniyan.

[14] Idlebrain.com gave 3 out of 5 stars stating "Anando Brahma partly works due to a few comedy episodes, but on other aspects it leaves a lot to be desired".
[15] Sify gave 3.5 out of 5 stars stating "Anando Brahma largely works due to its hilarious moments in the second half.
