Story unfolds... The player plays it yet again! A dreamy love story enacted on the larger canvas of Lord Krishna aiming to subdue the unruly Banasura.
Usha, A princess — she dreams of a handsome prince, Aniruddha — She finds herself helplessly in love with this dream prince — Usha confides in her friend Chitralekha — Chitralekha with magical powers gets Aniruddha to her — Banasura, the enraged father of Usha — arrogant and proud of being the thousand armed powerful asura — imprisons Aniruddha — Lord Krishna, kin of Aniruddha, wages a war — Banasura succumbs to defeat — unites Usha and Aniruddha in sacred love...
In the world where we all tend to forget the Supreme and sometimes get lost in pride and arrogance, Banasura‘s story is a good example how the Lord cares and never forgets to save us — even against our good will, still in a loving and most inspiring way.
