Indra Bhavanam is a 1991 Indian Telugu drama film written, edited and directed by Krishna who also enacted the lead character alongside Krishnam Raju, Meena, Jyothi and Kota Srinivasa Rao. Bappi Lahiri scored and composed the film's soundtrack album. The film is a remake of the 1990 Bollywood film Swarg which was loosely based on the 1967 film, Mehrban which was a remake of the 1960 Tamizh film Padikkadha Medhai which itself was a remake of the 1953 Bengali film Jog Biyog, the film adaptation of a novel named Jog Biyog by Ashapoorna Devi.[3][4]

Krishna plays the role of a loyal and faithful servant who is treated as a younger brother by his master, enacted by Krishnam Raju. However, a set of unfortunate incidents triggered by some conniving relatives and a business rival forces Krishna to be thrown out and in due course, a downward spiral in the life and career of his master. How the servant proves his innocence and set things right forms the crux of the story.[5]
