Aditya 369 Story

The film begins in 1991 with Prof. Ramdas, a dedicated scientist who invents a revolutionary time machine. At the same time, Raj Varma, a high-profile burglar, masterminds heists of priceless antiques, including the 16th-century Vijayanagara diamond displayed at the Salar Jung Museum. During a school excursion, mischievous student Kishore accidentally witnesses the robbery by Varma’s henchmen, Vasu and Dasu, and is hospitalized after being attacked. Krishna Kumar, a valiant young man in love with Ramdas’s daughter Hema, rescues Kishore but doubts his claims of witnessing the theft. Soon, Kishore befriends Ramdas, learns about the time machine, and convinces his friends to use it to revisit the robbery day. Accidentally, Krishna Kumar, Hema, and even a police constable chasing a thief are caught in the time jump, transporting them to the year 1526—during the reign of Emperor Krishnadevaraya.

In the Vijayanagara kingdom, Krishna Kumar saves dancer Simhanandini and earns an audience with the Emperor by astonishing him with a yet-to-be-written poem of Tenali Ramakrishna. Though skeptical, Krishnadevaraya extends his hospitality, showing them the divine diamond said to radiate seven colors on Karthika Purnami. While Krishna Kumar and Hema long to witness the spectacle, Simhanandini, jealous of Hema, frames Krishna Kumar for theft. Ultimately, Tenali Ramakrishna exposes the truth, and they are spared. When the time machine reactivates, the group leaps forward to the year 2504, landing in a dystopian world devastated by radiation after World War III. Underground scientists reveal the diamond now powers their civilization but warn the visitors can survive only hours in the harsh environment. They also discover news from 1991 reporting Krishna Kumar’s “death” while trying to retrieve the diamond from Raj Varma. Returning to the present, they find Raj Varma has kidnapped Prof. Ramdas and Kishore to seize the time machine. In a final battle atop a hill, the machine explodes, killing Varma. Krishna Kumar narrowly escapes by leaping off the cliff and reunites with his loved ones. The film closes on a hopeful note, with Krishna Kumar realizing that humanity has yet to unlock the full mysteries of the future.
