This film begins with the invocation of 'almighty god' at a river where several people are gathered. The child god Krishna rises out of the water astride the demon snake Kaliya. Then we see Yashoda as she rocks the sleeping Krishna's crib and imagines the god as Gopala. The next scene shows Kamsa fantasizing about Krishna threateningly duplicated many times around him. Kamsa then imagines himself dead as his severed head rises up and descends again. (imdb)

An 'trick film' from 1918 India! Felt more like I was watching a Georges Méliès short from the early 1900s then anything associated with Bollywood. And this was short and amusing because most of this film is missing. Didn't ruin the viewing experience too much for what exists showcased some nice creative film making by Dhundiraj Govind Phalke - the 'father' of Indian cinema.
