The truth is that when the intention is good and the story is strong, the brightness of the big stars also fades. The trailer of Krishnavataram really reminds one of the old times where cinema was not just entertainment, but an experience.

Pleasantly surprised watching Krishnavataram Part 1: The Heart trailer. I mean I didn't know that this movie was in the making or is going to be released. It doesn't have big stars or big names associated with it. But it looks good. Genuinely good. Rooting.
