Lord Krishna and the Pandavas) is a 1966 Indian Telugu-language Hindu mythological film directed by N. T. Rama Rao, who also co-wrote the script with Samudrala Sr.

N. T. Rama Rao portrays dual roles as Krishna and Duryodhana, while the film marks the Telugu debut of actress K. R.

Lord Krishna consoles Kunti and promises to protect the Pandavas and guide them through troubles and challenges they may face in their lives.

When Duryodhana insults the Pandavas by calling them "dependents", Bhima counters by saying that, the Kauravas are the progeny of a widow.

Duryodhana attacks Gandhara, lays waste to the kingdom, and imprisons its royal family, providing them only one rice grain per prisoner, which is the leftover food of the Kaurava clan.

Sakuni's family dies in prison, and he later uses his father's spinal cord to create magical dice that always roll in his favor.

Jarasandha proposes that Rukmi marry his sister, Rukmini, to Sisupala, unaware that she is in love with Krishna.

The movie returns to its primary focus on the Pandavas, with Duryodhana occupying a significant portion of screen time towards the end.

The village is terrorized by Bakasura, a powerful monster who demands two oxen, a cartload of food, and a human sacrifice daily to satiate his hunger.

Arjuna, disguised as a Brahmin youth, successfully completes the challenge and wins the contest, securing Draupadi's hand in marriage.

During their fierce combat, Krishna signals Bhima to tear Jarasandha's body vertically into two pieces to ensure his demise.

After several failed attempts, Krishna advises Bhima to throw Jarasandha's torn body parts in opposite directions, preventing them from rejoining.

During their visit, Duryodhana explores the Mayasabha, a grand hall known for its exquisite sculptures and architectural brilliance.

Feeling deeply humiliated, Duryodhana vows to seek revenge in the presence of his brothers, Karna, and Shakuni.

Despite this, Krishna promises Sisupala's mother that he will give her son a hundred chances before taking his life.

The film had run 100 days in 9 centers and garnered positive critical acclaim for its direction and acting prowess.
