In the central dihydroquinoline unit of the title compound, C22H16BrN3O3, the dihydropyridinone and benzene rings are inclined to one another by 2.0 (1)°, while the outer pyridine rings are almost perpendicular to the plane of the dihydroquinoline ring system. The conformation of the molecule is partially determined by an intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, molecules stack along the b-axis direction through a combination of C—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions involving the dihydroquinoline units, with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.7648 (15) Å.
