Kaliyuga Krishnudu Story
The film begins with Siddeswara Rao, a ruthless and cunning business magnate. When his sister, Gayatri Devi, returns from abroad with her husband Vasudeva Rao to claim her rightful share of the property, Siddeswara Rao denies it. In his greed, he murders Vasudeva Rao and frames Gayatri, who is sent to prison while pregnant. There, she gives birth to a son, but Siddeswara Rao orders his loyal aide Sambaiah to eliminate the child. Sambaiah abducts the baby, but a kind truck driver, Rangaiah, rescues him and raises him as Mohana Krishna. Believing the child dead, Siddeswara Rao betrays Sambaiah, who narrowly escapes. Meanwhile, Gayatri vows to one day destroy her brother. Years later, Mohana Krishna grows into a fearless young man who constantly opposes injustice, unknowingly clashing with Siddeswara Rao, his arrogant son Ramesh, and haughty daughter Anuradha. After her release, Gayatri acquires her share and wages a business war against Siddeswara Rao, with Rangaiah now working as her driver. Fate brings her closer to Mohana Krishna, though their relationship remains strained by secrets and conflict.
In time, Anuradha frames Mohana Krishna under false charges, prompting him to retaliate by marrying her in disguise. When he later reveals his true identity, Anuradha, initially furious, discovers her father’s wickedness and reforms, eventually standing by her husband. Meanwhile, Rangaiah recognizes Sambaiah, who has fallen once again into Siddeswara Rao’s clutches. The villain manipulates Mohana Krishna by weaving lies about his mother, but the truth finally emerges, reuniting him with Gayatri Devi. In a shocking twist, Ramesh seeks revenge on Sambaiah and, during an attempt to assault Sambaiah’s daughter Lakshmi, causes her accidental death at Sambaiah’s hands. Mohana Krishna then outwits Ramesh by turning his own schemes against him. Enraged, Siddeswara Rao breaks the law to protect his son, but in the climax, Mohana Krishna defeats them both. The film ends on a triumphant note, with justice served and long-lost family bonds restored.
