Plot
The film is a Hindu mythological movie based on Lord Hanuman's devotion towards Lord Rama who later finds him in Lord Krishna. The film begins after fulfillment of Ramavatar’s intention, Seeta (Devika) enters her mother Bhudevi and Lord Rama (N. T. Rama Rao) is in agony after parting with Seeta. Anjaneya (Rajanala) requests Sage Vasishta (Malladi) to save his lord from the agony and if needed he would take the pain of separation. Lord Rama is still bound to earth as he cannot leave Anjaneya whom he treats as his child. Yama Dharma Raju (Dhulipala) facilitates the separation of Lord Rama from Anjaneya by getting him banished from Ayodhya, help Rama to complete his avatar and rejoin Lakshmi in Vaikuntam. Anjaneya goes penance at Gandhah Madava mountain. Dwaparayuga arrives Lord Vishnu takes incarnation as Lord Krishna and establishes Dwaraka in the middle of the sea. Balarama (S. V. Ranga Rao) brother of Krishna does not like his charities of helping the poor and he orders that no one should meet him without his permission. Satyabhama (Vanisri) a proud, self-respected egoistic, possessive lady who wants Krishna's love entirely to her and could not share with others. After she grounds Narakasura, her arrogance reaches to peaks and starts looking down Seeta's character in Ramayana, because she has walked with her husband to the forest. Parallelly, Garutmantha (Arjan Janardhan Rao) the vehicle of Maha Vishnu who feels as great because he is carrying Vishnu on his shoulders. Now Garudmantha is in search of his daily food and finds a Nagakanya as his prey. On advice on Sage Narada (Kanta Rao) Nagakanya prays Krishna and he guides her to go to Anjaneya for help where she becomes safe. Anjaneya gives her shelter knowing this frustrated, Garudmantha reaches there and the war begins between Anjaneya & Garudmantha. Garudmantha is defeated and he realizes his mistake and goes back. Balarama & Satyabhama did not understand the real significance of Krishna Avatar. To make them enlighten about Paramatma, Narada says that he will try if Krishna’s blessings are with him and he permits. Once Anjaneya sees Yama Dharma Raju, he captures him and asks where he had hidden his Lord by throttling his neck. Narada makes him relieved and replies that Rama Avatar is ended long back and the present god is Krishna. Then he says with anger that there is only one god in this universe that is his Rama. Narada exaggerates the situation by telling that he if say Rama everyone will think as Balarama, brother of Krishna. Now Anjaneya sends a warning to Balarama to change his name. In that anger, Balarama starts for war but he too is defeated. Then Anjaneya enters Dwaraka in search of Krishna starts destroying it. Here Narada gives an idea to change Krishna's attire as Rama so that he will calm down but Krishna says he may require Seeta with him. Satyabhama says she will be Seeta and changes her attire. But Anjaneya does not believe and necks her out. Narada gives an idea to Satyabhama to request Rukmini. In the beginning, her arrogance comes in between but when Krishna gets anger her pride subsides and moves. The war begins between Krishna & Anjaneya which leads to severe universal destruction. Satyabhama prays Rukmini and brings her, Anjaneya recognizes her as Seeta and she tells him that he is only Rama and he is only Krishna. The illusion occurred to him is removed, identifies Krishna as his lord and begs pardon. Finally, the movie ends with Anjaneya chanting the name of Krishna.
