Yasodha Krishna is a 1975 Indian Telugu-language film directed by C. S. Rao. The film features Baby Sridevi and Baby Rohini portraying young Lord Krishna, with the latter making her on-screen debut as a child artiste at the age of five. The film also stars Jamuna as Yasodha and S. V. Ranga Rao as Kamsa. Yasodha Krishna was later dubbed into Kannada under the same title. Notably, this film marked the final appearance of S. V. Ranga Rao, as it was released a year after his death, following the earlier release of his last Tamil film Sivakamiyin Selvan (1974).
The film depicts some of the events in the life of Lord Krishna. It begins with the marriage of Devaki and Vasudeva, the birth of Krishna, Krishna Leelalu and the killing of Kamsa by Krishna.
The music was composed by S. Rajeswara Rao.
Reviewing the Tamil-dubbed version, Kousikan of Kalki appreciated the photography, colour and music.[1]
