Plot

[edit]

The film begins at Tretayuga when Rama breaks the Siva Dhanusu bow of Siva. Whereat, he is adored & endeared by a Nagakanya Chandrasena, who is seized by Mahiravana, the king of Patalalanka. During the time of the battle, Ravana bells Mahiravana, who pledges to slaughter Ramalakshmana by the following day. Being conscious of it, Anjaneya is under his surveillance, shielding Ramalakshmana. However, Mahiravana forges as Vibhishana and abducts Ramalakshmana by transforming them into statues. Outraged, Anjaneya lands at Pathalalanka. At that point, he knows via Narada that it's not to slay Mahiravana as his spirit is camouflage. Ergo, Anjaneya seeks Chandrasena's aid. In return, she urges a vow that his god should be her. Anjaneya vouchsafes it without learning her wish. Currently, Chandrasena breaks out of the puzzle when Rama kills Mahiravana. Following this, Rama is aware of Chandrasena's desire to knit him, which is against the nature of Rama's Avatar. So, he bestows her a boon to comply with it in her incarnation as Satyabhama at Dwaparayuga.

Eras roll by, and Rama takes the avatar as Krishna, who splices Satyabhama as per his word. Besides, vainglory, self-respected, egotistic Satyabhama is proprietorial to her husband, who wants to acquire all his love. Hence, to enlighten her, Narada drives a game to perform a ritual, Sri Krishna Tulabharam, i.e., to donate her husband and recoup him by weighing him with his equivalent gold. Satyabhama fails when she discerns the deity will yield only to devotion. Accordingly, she bows her head down before Rukmini, who weighs him with Tulasidalam, the Basil leaf. Later, Krishna proceeds as an embassy of Pandava with the Kaurava when Satyabhama appears as his devotee. The conversation falls, and the devil tries to grab the lord, who backs, divulging his Viswaroopam; the entire world forms in him. Finally, the movie ends with Krishna preaching Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna.

Production

[edit]

N. T. Rama Rao approached K. V. Reddy and told him that he had two scripts written by his collaborator PingaliChanakya Chandragupta and Sri Krishna Satya. He offered K. V. Reddy the choice of directing either of the films for Rama Rao's production house. K. V. Reddy chose the latter.[5] The plot of Sri Krishna Satya is linked to both Treta Yuga and Dvapara Yuga. The film stars N. T. Rama Rao as Lord Krishna and Jayalalithaa as his consort Satyabhama. After shooting a large part of the film, K. V. Reddy fell ill. Then, Rama Rao finished the remaining portions under the supervision of K. V. Reddy.[2]
