Plot
The film is based on Hindu mythology which shows Lord Hanuman's devotion towards Lord Rama. After the fulfillment of Ramavatar's intention, Seeta (Devika) enters into Bhudevi and Lord Rama (N. T. Rama Rao) is in agony. Looking at it, Anjaneya (Rajanala) requests Sage Vasishta (Malladi) to save his lord for which he is ready to take his entire pain. But Rama is still bounded with the earth as he could not leave Anjaneya. Yama Dharma Raja (Dhulipala) facilitates the separation of Lord Rama from Anjaneya by ostracizing Ayodhya. Rama completes his Avatar and Anjaneya reaches the 'Gandhah Madava' mountain for penance. Eras roll by, Dvapara Yuga arrives, Lord Vishnu takes incarnation as Lord Krishna and Balarama (S. V. Ranga Rao), brother of Krishna, does not like his charities of him, so, he orders not to meet anyone without his permission. On the other side, Satyabhama (Vanisri) the proud, egotistic wife of Krishna always looks down on Seeta's character in the Ramayana, and after grounds Narakasura, her arrogance reaches peaks. Meanwhile, Garutmantha (Arjan Janardhan Rao), the vehicle of Lord Vishnu, is in search of his daily food and finds a Nagakanya as his prey. On the advice of Sage Narada (Kanta Rao), Nagakanya prays Krishna and he guides her to take Anjaneya's help. Anjaneya gives her shelter, knowing it, Garudmantha reaches there, and the war erupts in which Garudmantha is defeated, realizes his mistake, and backs up. Now to enlighten Balarama & Satyabhama to understand the real form of Krishna, Sage Narada plays a drama taking Krishna's blessings. Once Anjaneya spots Yama Dharma Raju captured and threatens him to reveal the whereabouts of his Lord when Narada arrives, replies Rama Avatar is ended and the present Lord is Krishna. Angered, Anjaneya says there is only one god in the universe which is his Rama. Narada exaggerates the situation by telling if he chants Rama, everyone thinks of Balarama, brother of Krishna. Listening to it, Anjaneya sends a warning to Balarama to change his name. In that anger, Balarama moves for the war, but he too is defeated. Then Anjaneya enters Dwaraka in search of Krishna and starts destroying it. Here Narada gives an idea to change Krishna's attire to Rama so that he will calm down, but Krishna says he may require Seeta. Satyabhama says she will take up the responsibility but Anjaneya does not believe and necks her out. At present, Narada says her to plead with Rukmini to which her arrogance does not agree but when she witnesses his anger toward Krishna, her pride subsides. The war begins between Krishna & Anjaneya, which leads to universal destruction. At that point, Satyabhama brings Rukmini, Anjaneya calms down and she explains to him that Rama & Krishna are one. Ultimately, the illusion that occurred to Anjaneya is removed, identifies Krishna as his lord, and begs pardon. Finally, the movie ends with Anjaneya chanting the name of Krishna.
