Plot. Krishna alias Krish (N. T. Rama Rao Jr.) is the son of Surendra (Mukesh Rishi), a multimillionaire in Hyderabad. He is in a relationship with Indu (Samantha Ruth Prabhu), who has a friend Bhoomi (Kajal Aggarwal). Bhoomi's father, Bhanu Prasad (Prakash Raj), wants to get her married to her cousin suitor (Ajay), who is a rowdy, which Bhoomi does not like. Naturally, her grandfather  Durga Prasad (Kota Srinivasa Rao) tells to the family that she has already fallen in love with a guy in the city to halt the marriage, but Bhaanu Prasad asks Bhoomi to bring her boyfriend home with her. Indu sends Krish as Bhoomi's lover just to let her escape the wedding situation. Upon arriving in Bhoomi's village, Krish learns through Bhoomi about everyone in her family. He thinks that the people in her home are living as individuals and not as an actual family with bonds and emotions. Krish changes the attitudes of Bhoomi's uncles (Raghu Babu , Ahuti Prasad) who are lazy at home doing nothing, and successfully wins the heart of the family members. Durga Prasad then reveals to Krish that Bhanu Prasad and his stepbrother Sivudu (Srihari) have been rivals for 25 years because Durga Prasad married a second time when his first wife died, against Bhaanu Prasad's wishes, and Sivudu is born to the new couple. This is the reason for Bhanu Prasad's hatred towards Sivudu. Upon splitting their inherited wealth in half, the two brothers have their father, Durga Prasad live in each of their households for six-month periods. Krish  decides to reunite the two brothers and succeeds, much to the happiness of the two families. Bhanu Prasad, impressed by Krish, accepts Bhoomi's love and decides to get them married. This worries Krish and Bhoomi as the initial plan was to only cancel the marriage of Bhoomi and her suitor, not to have Bhaanu Prasad accept their "relationship". Bhoomi's suitor, out of lust for her and anger on the wedding's cancellation, vows to get her by any means. The story takes a turn when Indu, who is none other than Sivudu's wife's sister's a.k.a . adopted daughter, arrives in the scene. Sivudu decides to get Indu married to her lover alongside Bhoomi's marriage, not aware of Krish's real identity. Indu then lies to Sivudu that her lover has ditched her in order to save Krish's act. Sivudu orders his men to find Indu's lover's (Krish's) parents and bring them to him. Bhanu Prasad also asks Krish to bring his parents to settle the marriage alliance. Indu sets up a fake father (Brahmanandam) and mother (Hema) for Krish before his parents arrive at the place, but when Krish's parents  arrive at the scene, they are shocked to see Krish there (who they thought was on a world tour). Krish explains the whole situation to them and has them play along. Bhanu Prasad engages Bhoomi with Krish and tells them to decide when they want to marry. Just as when Krish thinks that all is settled and prepares to walk out of Bhoomi's life, Bhoomi reveals that she has fallen in love with Krish, which Indu overhears. Fate takes another turn when Bhoomi's suitor finds out about the real identities and reveals this to Sivudu, who confronts Indu . Bhanu Prasad, too learns of the act, and along with Sivudu, beats up Krish before Durga Prasad intervenes. Durga Prasad reveals to them that the act was created by him in order to save Bhoomi from her ruthless suitor. He also reveals that Krish did not cheat Indu (which is what Sivudu thinks) and that it was Indu who sent Krish. He reveals to Bhaanu Prasad that Bhoomi is also in love with Krish. Just as things cool down, Bhoomi's suitor takes Bhoomi away by force, only to be chased by Krish. Krish finally beats up Bhoomi's suitor  into submission and leaves with Bhoomi, but another problem arises when Krish has to decide between Indu, whom he loves, and Bhoomi, who loves him. Suddenly Lord Krishna (portrayed holographically by N. T. Rama Rao) appears in front of him to tell Krish that it is part of his life, but when Krish asks for a solution, Lord Krishna disappears, leaving Krish's fate to the audience. Production.

Reception. The film generally received positive reviews from critics. "NDTV" gave a review stating, "Vamsi, now proves that he, too, can top the Box Office with his subject and narration of a story. Koratala  Siva's dialogues and Chota K Naidu's camera have helped him to realise his dream of putting together a good entertainer. NTR's performance is unquestionably the highlight of the film. " "Idlebrain.com" gave a review stating "First half of the movie is adequate. The major part of the second half is entertaining. The climax of the movie is debatable. The plus points are NTR and entertainment in the second half. On the flip side, the story of the movie gives us a deja vu feeling in many aspects and the emotional part should have been natural. Brindavanam is a  decent and clean movie with enough ingredients to make it work at the box office. It is up to NTR to get a range for the movie" and rated the film 3.25/5. "IndiaGlitz" gave a review stating "Vamsi scripted a perfect screenplay for the film and it was so tight that the audiences could not move out of their seats and make them stick even in song sequences. Each and every scene in the movie was narrated with precision and the director should be commended for running the movie with perfection. You can watch the film with the whole family  because of entertainment values. Definitely, the film will give you a relief after a stressful day." "Oneindia Entertainment" gave a review stating, "Though the story has the shades of old films, Vamsi has scripted a tight screenplay and he has narrated every scene with precision. You can watch the film with a family because of the entertainment values. Dil Raju is once again back on track. Vamsi Paidipalli has brought a smile on his face with his wholesome entertainer."
