Bala Bharatham is the story of Pandavas and Kauravas during their childhood days. Kunti (Anjali Devi) and Bheeshma (S. V. Ranga Rao) stand as spectators, while Shakuni (Dhulipala) acts as a catalyst to the rise of the rivalry between Pandavas and Kauravas that resulted in the great Mahabharata war later.
