Sri Krishnanjaneya Yuddham Story
The film is based on Hindu mythology, showing Hanuman‘s devotion to Rama. Rama is brokenhearted as he is unable to separate from Sita when she returns to her mother, Bhudevi. Anjaneya approaches Vasishta, declaring that he will endure any pain for his lord. Consequently, Yama appears as a priest, declaring Ramavatar fulfilled and asking Rama to return to Vaikuntha. However, Rama is still bound to Anjaneya, so Yama facilitates their split by ostracizing him. Following this, Rama merges into Vishnu, and Anjaneya departs to Gandhah Madava mountain. Eras pass, Dwaparayuga arrives, and Rama incarnates as Krishna. Balarama opposes his brother’s charities and denies him the chance to meet without permission. Meanwhile, the arrogant Satyabhama repeatedly questions Sita’s character in the Ramayana, and after grounding Narakasura, her pride only grows. At the same time, Garuda, Vishnu’s vehicle, hunts his daily prey, Naga Kanya. Guided by Narada, she reaches Krishna, who ushers her to Anjaneya. He shelters her when Garutmantha attacks, and eventually, Garuda reforms.
Next, to enlighten Balarama and Satyabhama, Narada initiates a divine game with Krishna’s blessings to reveal his true form. Once Anjaneya confronts and seizes Yama for the whereabouts of his lord, Narada explains that Rama’s avatar is eternal and in the present age, the lord is Krishna. Angered, Anjaneya proclaims that there is only one God in the universe: Rama. Narada cleverly suggests that Anjaneya’s chants of Rama might be mistaken as Balarama, Krishna’s brother. Infuriated, Anjaneya decrees to alter Balarama’s title. Enraged, Balarama attacks, but Anjaneya defeats him, leaving Balarama soul-searching. In his fury, Anjaneya storms Dwaraka in search of Krishna. Narada requests Krishna to disguise himself as Rama to pacify him, and Krishna affirms that Sita is essential. Disguised as Sita, Satyabhama approaches Anjaneya, but he repudiates and rejects her. Narada instructs her to seek Rukmini’s help, which her pride resists. Eventually, she yields after witnessing Krishna’s wrath. A war erupts between Krishna and Anjaneya, causing devastation, until Rukmini reveals that Rama and Krishna are one and the same. The illusion lifted, Anjaneya recognizes Krishna as his lord, seeks forgiveness, and the movie ends joyfully with Anjaneya chanting Krishna’s name.
