Transcription
Plot
Kamaroopan is a lustful king who faces the curse of Goddess Parvati and is reborn as a common jeweller in the town of Gokulam. The jeweller happens to set his eyes on a Devadasi named Anuradha and tries to woo her. Anuradha, on the other hand, was a singer-dancer in her previous birth and a devotee of Parvati. She was cursed by sage Narada for displeasing him and is reborn as Anuradha. The jeweller keeps trying to seduce Anuradha not realising the actions he had committed in his previous birth. To settle the matter, Krishna rids both the jeweller and the Devadasi of their curses.[2]

Krishnan, who later went on to become a prominent filmmaker in Malaysian cinema and earned the Datuk honorific.[2]
Soundtrack
S. V. Venkatraman was in charge of the music and score for Gokuladasi while the songs' lyrics were written by Papanasam Sivan and Rajagopal Iyer.[2]
Reception
Film historian Randor Guy notes that Gokuladasi is "remembered for the pleasing music, song and dance numbers by the Travancore Sisters and impressive performances by Rajamma, Honnappa Bhagavathar and T. R. Ramachandran."[2] The film did not perform well at the box office.[2]
