Sri Krishnavataram is a 1967 Telugu-language Hindu mythological film directed by Kamalakara Kameswara Rao.

The film is based on the Hindu epics Mahabharata and Bhagavata Purana covering major life events of Lord Krishna.

It begins with all the deities imploring before Vishnu for the revival of piety on Earth, which he bestows by taking incarnation as Krishna in Dvapara Yuga.

On the eve of Bhadrapada Ashtami, Vishnu's avatar, Krishna, was born and mandates Vasudeva to swap with Yashoda 's baby at Gokul.

Years pass, and Krishna contracts Dwaraka in mid of the sea to secure Yadava from frequent attacks of Jarasandha.

So, he begrudges & ruses to fix Sisupala's alliance with Vidarbha king Bhishmaka's daughter Rukmini by mingling her brother Rukmi.

Parallelly, Satrajit acquires a unique jewel Syamantaka as a boon from the Sun that bestows a vast amount of gold daily.

Consequently, Krishna makes eight marriages when green Narada itches for test and bows down before his lilas.

Meanwhile, Kuchela, the childhood soulmate of Krishna, arrives impoverished, where the Lord provides great honor & hospitality.

Kuchela hesitantly offers his favorite snack, "Atukulu," grains of parched rice, which he receives and grants endless opulence.

He lands at Hastinapur and submits Pandava article before Duryodhana with the consequences & results of the battle, which he bluntly deaf ears.

Parallelly, as a correlation, Yadava is cursed by sages when Krishna's son Samba mocks them in disguise as pregnant women.
