Kans gets his sister Devaki married to Yadava chief Vasudeva. However a celestial prophecy warns him that the couple's eighth child will be his kaal and end his atrocities. An enraged Kans tries to kill Devaki but Vasudeva assures him to handover his all children to him. Kans now imprisons the couple and kills their six children. During seventh pregnancy Vishnu asks Yogamaya to transfer the foetus of Devaki to Vasudeva's first wife Rohini's womb who lives in Gokul as the seventh child is incarnation of the serpent king Sheshnaag, the divine bed of Vishnu.

Reception
editTaran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 2 out of 5, calling it an "average animated film." He further wrote, "Lord Krishna's story has inspired generations. In this animation movie, a number of sequences are deftly handled, especially in the second hour. The music is also tuneful and the simple wordings are easy to grasp. However, the background score could've been more effective. The voiceovers are in sync."[2] Priyanka Jain of Rediff.com gave the film 1 out of 5, writing, "A story which had the potential to entertain and inspire everyone, ends up doing nothing of the sort."[3]
