Plot

The film begins with Narakasura born to Vishnu to Bhudevi at Varaha Avatar, a wild boar. He conducts a huge penance and acquires a boon that no other eliminates him except his mother. Thus, raged Naraka conquers the universe, drags away Aditi’s earrings with angels, and proceeds to his capital Prakjothishapuram. Nagadatta his citizen is an advent devotee of Vishnu; his son dies under a chariot in the imperial parade on Naraka’s victory. Then, Nagadatta rebels and is seized even though his daughter Vasumati pleads for pardon. Grief-stricken, Vasumati dazes when is cursed by a Saint and transforms into a snake. Anyhow, in it, she frees her father when the Saint relieves Vasumati and guides them to carry on to Dwaraka of Krishna which they do so. Being cognizant of it, Naraka in disguise, sets foot therein, knits Vasumati, and prisons Nagadatta. Despite being aware of this fact, she turns obedient to him. Since the demon monstrosities magnify Narada entreaties Krishna to destroy him, who claims it is impossible since the oath is bestowed to Bhudevi.

Meanwhile, Vasumati gives birth to Bhagadatta who words Nagadatta to mold him as a disciple of Krishna. Overhearing it, furious Naraka arrests her too when Krishna appears to Nagadatta and assures him the devil’s end is soon. Following, he is nabbed by soldiers who enlighten their veneration towards him in the form of Narada. Here, Satyabhama gazes at the absence of Krishna and accuses Narada of detaching them. At that point, Krishna divulges the ongoing state and rises the abomination in Satyabhama. Parallelly, begrudged Naraka abducts the teenage girls from Dwaraka in Krishna's attire and he is affronted. Whereat, Satyabhama is exasperated towards Naraka ascertaining the fact, and seeks vengeance. Concurrently, Nagadatta attempts to take flight with Vasumati when he is penalized by pulling out his eyes. However, he lands at Krishna where all deities, saints & human implores him to cease Naraka. Ergo, Krishna declares war and moves on with Satyabhama as she is the trait of Bhudevi. Bewaring it, infuriated Naraka reciprocates when Vasumati bars him and she is assassinated. During the war, Krishna pretends as fainted when Satyabhama takes charge and grounds Naraka. Thus, he realizes Satyabhama is his mother, Bhudevi, and impetrates forgiveness. At last, Satyabhama requests Krishna to induce their son’s title immortal when Krishna announces the day as Deepavali by lighting the lamps.
