Krishnarjuna (2008) Plot Summary Explained

Arjun was born to a mentally unstable pregnant woman who rushed into the Gharbhagudi temple and gave birth at the feet of a Krishna idol. In the village, any birth in Gharbhagudi was seen as a bad omen, so the temple doors were kept shut after the birth, and the newborn was marked as cursed from the very beginning.
