Plot

edit

The film begins with Jayadeva, a librettist & orphan, brought by a couple with their son Parasera. Jayadeva writes poems about the sacral love of Radha Krishna, which are disdained. So, he quits to get acclaim for his literature and lands at an Ashram of Saint Krishnanda, Radha Krishna's follower. Here, Krishnanda identifies that he is destined at birth to fulfill the philosophy of Radha Krishna and accommodates him. Once, Jayadeva spots the public forcibly transforming a naive Padmavati into a Devadasi. So, to bar it, he knits her, which irks chieftain Kamakeetu, who lusts for Padmavati. Parasera takes them to their hometown when Jayadeva acquires a statue of Radhakrishna midway floating in a river. Meanwhile, Kamakethu walks to Jayadeva's village and slanders Padmavati, and they are ostracized. Then Krishna flagrantly inseminates Jayadeva's faith to the community. Next, Jayadeva scriptures a book Geeta Govindam which fascinates everyone. Eventually, the king of Puri also signs poems on Jagannath when he perceives the adulation of Jayadeva and behests to present him in the court. Both keep their poetry before the Lord, and Jayadeva is endorsed when the king bows his head down. On his return, Jayadeva is backstabbed by Kamakeethu when Lakshmanasena Maharaja, the king of Navadweepa, saves him. Being an advent devotee of Radhakrishna, Lakshmanasena invites Jayadeva to his court, which envies the remaining poets. Moreover, Kamakeetu also hits therein, infuriating them. However, Jayadeva triumphs over the scholar when they highly accolades him. Simultaneously, Jayadeva is on the verge of accomplishing Geeta Govindam. Still, he is cramped when Krishna closes it in his form and takes Padmavati's hospitality. Discerning it, the couple is ravished when Lakshmanasena visits, and they take the deity's leftovers. Knowing it, the queen hurts, and she also argues with Padmavati about Sathi. Padmavati declares that the legitimate wife should spontaneously die with her husband. At that moment, the queen falsifies Jayadeva's death when Padmavati immediately leaves her breath. At last, Jayadeva recoups his wife with his holy power. Finally, the movie ends happily with Jayadeva & Padmavathi taking salvation into Radhakrishna.
