Gopala Gopala is a 2015 Indian Telugu-language satirical comedy drama film directed by Kishore Kumar Pardasani. The film is produced by D. Suresh Babu and Sharrath Marar under the Suresh Productions and North Star Entertainment banners. It stars Venkatesh, Pawan Kalyan, Shriya Saran, and Mithun Chakraborty while Ashish Vidyarthi and Posani Krishna Murali play supporting roles. The film is a remake of the 2012 Hindi film OMG – Oh My God! which was itself based on the Gujarati stage play Kanji Viruddh Kanji which is in turn inspired from 2001 Australian film The Man Who Sued God.

It follows the story of an atheist, Gopala Rao (Venkatesh), who sues God after losing his shop in an earthquake. Religious organisations revolt against him and Lord Vishnu visits him as his human guide, under his incarnation Krishna (Kalyan).

Gopala Gopala was made on a budget of 12 crore. Production began on 9 June 2014. It was predominantly shot in and around Visakhapatnam, with a few sections filmed in Hyderabad and Varanasi. Anup Rubens composed the music while Jayanan Vincent was the film's cinematographer. The film was released worldwide on 10 January 2015 as a Sankranthi release. It received positive reviews from critics and was commercially successful grossing 88.1 crore with a distributor share of 41.1 crore.
