Krishna-Krishna (1986)

Before the epic battle of good versus evil, Mahabharat, as chronicled in the Holy Geeta, Bhagwan Shri Kishan slew his evil maternal uncle Kans during his childhood and studied in a Brahmin school where he befriended poor Brahmin Sudama. And because Sudama ate all the food while they were gathering firewood one day, Devi Yashoda cursed Sudama to live in abject poverty for the rest of his life. Years later, Bhagwan Shri Kishan went on to woo Princess Rukmini and eloped with her. He subsequently married seven other women, including Satyabama, Kalindi, and Jamvanti. He ruled Dwarka with his brother Balram, fought epic battles with demons who tormented Sadhus, Rishis, and Saints. The origin of Pondrik Krishna Vasudev, who called himself the reincarnation of Lord Vishnu, the real Lord Kishan, and ultimately challenged Bhagwan Shri Kishan to a battle; Satyabama's donation of Bhagwan Shri Kishan to Bhagwan Shri Narad, who made him a slave and live in celibacy until the queens decided to weigh Bhagwan Shri Kishan in gold and donate that to Bhagwan Narad. Finally, poverty-stricken Sudama, destitute, on the verge of starvation--he had lost two children in a fire and two others were dying of starvation--visits Dwarka, thus putting the ultimate test on their childhood friendship, leaving his wife alone to be the possible prey of Pondrik Krishna Vasudev's disciple, Prachandev.
