Krishna Vijayam is a 1950 Indian Tamil language film written and directed by Sundar Rao Nadkarni. The film featured Carnatic music singer N. C. Vasanthakokilam in the role of Narada.

The film is about the epic story of Krishna, an avatar of Lord Vishnu. The story is about his birth, elimination of his uncle, the King Kamsa and his boyhood Leelas with gopikas.

Music was composed by C. S. Jayaraman and S. M. Subbaiah Naidu. Lyrics were penned by Papanasam Sivan, T. K. Sundara Vathiyar, Bhoomi Palakadas and K. P. Kamakshi. The song Navaneetha Kannaney… sung by N. C. Vasanthakokilam was a hit. The music for this song was scored by C. S. Jayaraman and the lyrics were written by K. P. Kamakshi. Another group song Ennadi anniyayum idhu… adi Yashoda…, sung by P. Leela, K. V. Janaki, T. V. Rathinam, T. R. Bhagirathi and group was also a popular number.

Though the film was well made with melodious music, did not fare well as expected. The reason may be that by this time the interest in epic based stories started waning among the viewers. Specially because it was only the same Jupiter Pictures that previously made Velaikaari, a socially themed story that was well received by the people.
