Plot The film follows Brahmanandam "Brahma", a middle-class actor, characterized by his sarcastic wit and self absorbed personality. Despite his passion towards writing and performing, he struggles with achieving success financially and within his career. He decides to sign with a renowned agency that guarantees to book him for big shows, for which he needs to procure a large sum of 5 lakhs. But Brahma is broke and is struggling to make ends meet. With all this commotion in his life and his inconsistent career, his girlfriend Tara breaks up with him, leaving him distraught.

Amid this crisis, Brahma is reintroduced to his grandfather Ananda Ram Murthy, a novel writer, after 15 years. Murthy is abandoned by his younger son and is forced to live in an old age home. Dissatisfied with his life, he wishes to spend his last days in his native village, so he asks Brahma to come with him. Brahma, neck-deep in trouble doesn't care to help his grandfather. Knowing his grandson's condition, Murthy suggests he can sell their ancestral assets, so that Brahmacan take the money to pursue his dreams. Tempted by this offer, Brahma takes his grandfather to their village.

But he missed the fact that Murthy was a writer before. This time, his story is sold. Brahma goes to the village to find out they don't have any assets there. In fact, it's not even their hometown.

Murthy tricks his grandson, and then pulls in Brahma to say his main idea. The biggest revelation of it, turns out Murthy is in love with a woman, with whom he stayed in the old age home. And apparently, she is the mother of the village's sarpanch. A typical teenage love story, but it is two old people here, who just need a companion in their end of life. And Murthy asks Brahma to help him out with the issue.

This blew Brahma's mind, making him packs his bags to leave for the city. Fate, however, has other plans for him and he is forced to stay on until he completes a huge task given to him by the Sarpanch.

In a village that goes to sleep by 7pm, has no internet, no network, and no way of connecting with the outside world other than through an STD booth, he is tasked with uniting a 70-year-old couple. That day, he was so sure he'd be dying single in that village.

Reception Calling it a "lost opportunity" due to unconventional premise with too many subplots, The Hindu was positive of performances of the lead cast (particularly Vennela Kishore). Echoing the same, Times Now rated it 2.5 out of 5 and wrote "to a certain extent, the narrative emerges as a compelling exploration of human frailty and resilience, challenging societal norms". Telugucinema.com also gave the same rating and stated, "Brahma Anandam has impressive premise and tackles an intriguing subject, and the film's midsection is engaging, but its helter-skelter screenplay and rushed climax have diminished the overall experience".
