Plot
editKrishna Chari (Naga Shaurya), a young man born into a restrictive Brahmin family, gets a software job in Hyderabad. The moment he sees Vrinda (Shirley Setia) in his office, he falls for her. However, she is quite stubborn and does not accept his love due to an issue. After Krishna pursues her for some time, she tells him that she cannot bear children due to a defect. However, Krishna understands her situation and accepts her as is. Finally, he wins her over but is still unsure how to convince his orthodox family to support their union. After a while, he somehow manages to persuade them by playing a trick and marries Vrinda. This lands him in big trouble. What is this trouble? How did Krishna manage it? That forms the story.

Reception
editNeeshita Nyayapati of The Times of India rated the film 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "Krishna Vrinda Vihari needed better writing and direction for it to work, because it relies a little too much on the shoddily written light-hearted moments to pull it through".[14] Arvind V of Pinkvilla rated the film 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "Ideally, a film like this should have strictly stayed away from action. You can have a fight if you can't resist the temptation of making your hero tear off his shirt and flash his ripped body. But there is an impossibly asinine situation when you can't have a fighting scene. 'KVV' misses this lesson, like it misses almost all script-writing lessons".[15]
