Brahmotsavam (transl. Festival of Brahma) is a 2016 Indian Telugu-language family melodrama film written and directed by Srikanth Addala. The film was co-produced by Prasad V. Potluri under the banner PVP cinema in association with G. Mahesh Babu Entertainment. It stars Mahesh Babu, Kajal Aggarwal, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Pranitha Subhash. Gopi Sundar scored the film while Mickey J. Meyer composed the film's soundtrack album. R. Rathnavelu and Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao handled the film's cinematography and editing respectively.[2]

Addala worked on the film's script for more than a year,[3] announced on collaborating for a new project with Babu in October 2014.

Major portions of the film were shot at the Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad, with filming also took place in Ooty, Chennai and Varanasi, before the shooting process being wrapped in March 2016. Released on 20 May 2016, the film received negative reviews from critics and was a box office disaster,[4] grossing only ₹63.70 crore[5] amidst a budget of ₹75 crore.[1]
