Plot
[edit]The film is based on Hindu mythology, showing Hanuman's devotion to Rama. Rama is brokenhearted as he is inept at separating Sita when she returns to her mother, Bhudevi. So, Anjaneya approaches Vasishta, stating that he endures any pain for his lord. Consequently, Yama appears as a priest, declaring Ramavatar's fulfillment and asking him to return to Vaikuntha. However, Rama is still bound to Anjaneya when Yama facilitates their split by ostracizing Anjaneya. Following, Rama merges into Vishnu, and Anjaneya lands at Gandhah Madava mountain.
Eras roll by, Dwaparayuga arrives, and Rama takes incarnation as Krishna. Balarama opposes his brother's charities and obstructs his opportunity to see them without permission. Besides, vainglory Satyabhama constantly trashes Sita's character in the Ramayana, and after grounds Narakasura, her arrogance prevails. Meanwhile, Garuda, Vishnu's vehicle, is hunting his daily prey, Naga Kanya. Whereat, Narada guides her to reach Krishna, who ushers her to Anjaneya. He shelters her when Garutmantha onslaughts, which reforms after, baffles him.
Next, to edify Balarama & Satyabhama, Narada drives a game with Krishna's blessings to comprehend his tangible form. Once Anjaneya spots and seizes Yama for the whereabouts of his Lord, Narada replies that Rama's Avatar is time immemorial, and in current times, the lord is Krishna. Angered, Anjaneya proclaims that there is just one God in the universe: Rama. Here, Narada exaggerates that his chants Rama might consider Balarama, brother of Krishna. Being conscious of it, Anjaneya consigns an ordinance to alter Balarama's title. Hence, infuriated Balarama assaults whom he thwarts and backs with soul-searching.
On the spot, exasperated Anjaneya attacks Dwaraka in the quest for Krishna. Narada requests Krishna to dress as Rama to cool him down when he affirms that Sita is vital. As of now, disguised Satyabhama approaches as such, but Anjaneya repudiates and boots her. Narada instructs her to plead with Rukmini, which her pride impedes. Anyhow, she does so after witnessing Krishna's anger. The war begins between Krishna & Anjaneya, which leads to catastrophe. Then, Rukmini sheds light on Anjaneya that Rama & Krishna are one sole. At last, with the removal illusion, Anjaneya identifies Krishna as his lord and begs pardon. Finally, the movie ends happily, with Anjaneya chanting Krishna.
