This big-budget mythological is one of the best known of NTR’s screen versions of the Krishna myth and recounts several of the Mahabharata’s well-known episodes, including Krishna’s childhood in Dwarka, the slaying of Shishupala, the visit of Kuchela, the killing of Kansa, etc. Raju’s score, adapting the Tirupati Venkatakavulu, was widely admired.
