'You will be away
from the apple of your eye too.'

3
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,280
'You will die in wait
of your duty-bound son.'

4
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:35,680
'Not you, '

5
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:39,400
'it is Rama I want.' [echoing]

[poignant vocalisation]

7
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:51,880
Rama.

[flute playing]

9
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,200
I will not ask you

10
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:00,920
what the matter is, Father.

11
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,600
I understand your predicament.

12
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,600
I am glad to know that you
understand the predicament I am in.

13
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:17,320
Brahmarshi Vishvamitra came here
to seek a King's help

14
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,800
and not a father's.

15
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,160
Do not forget that along with
being the King, I am a father too.

16
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,120
Does being a King mean

17
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,000
that one must suppress
any fatherly feelings he has?

18
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:35,400
Is being human a crime?

19
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,120
Or is being a father a crime?

20
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:42,760
Had you been in my stead,

21
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,400
would you have acted as a king
or a father?

22
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,240
I would have
fulfilled my duties as a father.

23
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,280
I would have sent my son to trial

24
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,720
- so that he returns
more competent. - Rama...

25
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,880
The ones you are about to battle
are rakshasas!

26
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,680
The one we will be fighting for

27
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,440
is Brahmarshi Vishvamitra, Father.

28
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,960
I have heard his tales, Father.

29
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,160
Being a king,

30
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,280
he had the prowess to perform severe
austerities to become a Brahmarshi.

31
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:26,200
He has the power

32
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,520
to send a living being to heaven.

33
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,640
Why fear when he is around, Father?

34
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,640
He possesses
numerous celestial weaponry.

35
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,840
There must be a reason

36
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,160
why he left everything
and came here

37
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,120
to take your son along, Father.

38
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,440
Father, or you could say,

39
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,480
it is not Brahmarshi Vishvamitra
who needs your son

40
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,520
but your son
who needs Brahmarshi Vishvamitra.

41
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:01,400
Rama, you said that
you would stay with me

42
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,480
after Bharata left.

43
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,360
I am with you, Father.

44
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,160
In my eyes,

45
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,040
King Dasharatha is synonymous with
righteousness and covenant,

46
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,160
and I stand by it.

47
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,880
Why did you covet a son, Father?

48
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,040
So that

49
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:36,280
I could give Ayodhya a successor

50
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,600
and my ancestors

51
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,560
with someone
who would perform their libations.

52
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,040
So, if today,

53
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,800
you stop me from leaving
with Brahmarshi Vishvamitra

54
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,160
and break your promise as a Raghu,

55
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,840
would I

56
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,480
be worthy of becoming
Ayodhya's future king, Father?

57
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,160
After having brought disgrace
to our ancestors

58
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,680
and sullying their name...

59
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,520
Would I be worthy of performing
their 'sraddha', Father?

60
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,320
I am your son, Father.

61
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,280
It is my duty to follow your order.

62
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,520
You are the King of the Raghu clan.

63
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,880
The choice will be yours.

64
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,360
The decision will also lie with you

65
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,440
whether I

66
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,600
shall leave here
as Brahmarshi Vishvamitra's aide

67
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:43,920
or whether I will witness

68
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,680
Ayodhya's pride and the Raghu clan
losing its honour.

Mother, where is Lakshmana?

79
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,560
Will he not bid
his older bother adieu?

80
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,720
He has gone
to get your weapons, son.

What is this, Lakshmana?

84
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,480
Why two bows?

85
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,440
How can two warriors
fight with one bow, Rama?

86
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:35,880
Two!

87
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,960
I am going alone, Lakshmana.

88
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,480
Why, Rama?

89
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,160
How come you get
to honour Father's promise

90
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,560
whereas I am expected to dishonour
the promise made to Mother Sumitra

91
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,960
of always being by your side?

92
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,320
[sentimental music playing]

93
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:58,680
No, Rama.

94
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,880
I will always be with you.
Here you are.

95
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,360

97
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,440
Forgive me, Sage.

98
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,000
I am aware

99
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,400
that you asked Father only for Rama.

100
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,480
Let me tell everyone

101
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,840
that my brother Rama and I,
his younger brother Lakshmana,

102
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,240
are no different.

103
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,080
If he is the body, I am its soul.

104
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,760
[sentimental music playing]

105
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,920
Pardon my impudence,

106
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,600
but what good is the body
without a soul?

107
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,360
[sentimental music playing]

108
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,240
I hope that you

109
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,640
and Father will allow me
to go along with Rama.

[poignant music playing]

111
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,080
It is quite evident

112
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,920
that Lakshmana
is his elder brother's shield.

113
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,840
Rama is coming with me
for the battle.

114
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,480
The decision and choice
of whether his shield

115
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,640
goes with him or not

116
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,200
rests with you.

I am not surrendering
my sons to you,

121
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,320
but my life.

122
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:08,960
From now on,

123
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,080
you are their mother
as well as father.

It's like His Majesty
is giving his eyes to me.

126
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,520
Your son will forge a path

127
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:27,040
which will change

128
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,040

Both your sons

132
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:46,800
will be safe with me.

In Rama's presence,

139
00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:48,400
I don't need to worry
about Lakshmana, son.

140
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,480
Make Raghukul proud.

Rama, I'm heartbroken

154
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:15,120
to leave you!

155
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,040
Bharata.

My younger brother

is going to take on a responsibility
without me for the first time.

- Shatrughna.
- Yes, Rama.

Please take care of Bharata
and yourself.

169

to bid goodbye to the family and
go along with Sage Vishvamitra but

170
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,480
you can't take your eyes off them
while bidding goodbye

You must also feel happy to see your
younger brother take responsibility.

my children stayed away from me

00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,000
They came back

187
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,520
and I spent
just a few days with them.

188
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,480
Now, I'm pining for my sons

189
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,920
yet again.

190
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,080
Acharya, I'm scared.

191
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,680
Could it be

192
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,760
that Shravan's father's curse

193
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,480
is going to come true?

194
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,280
It's beside the point
that you'll die

195
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,200
due to a curse.

196
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,080
The problem is

197
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,880
that every moment of your life
you remember that curse.

198
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:06,680
Why do you forget

199
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,000
that you can't control death?

200
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,400
You are the master of your life.

201
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:16,880
Spend all your time

202
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,840
with your sons

203
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,200
and stay happy.

204
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:24,720
It won't make you regretful

205
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,680
about not spending time
with your sons.

206
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,920
Son, you shouldn't

207
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,320
stop living

208
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,640
for the fear of death.

Do you know where we are headed?

- You may ask him.
- Me?

No. It's okay.

00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,040
Dasharatha's son, are you tired?

216
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,560

Rama,

220
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,280
we walk all day long

221
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,120
and guard during the night.

222
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,120
We don't get food or water.

223
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,640
What does the guru want from us?

224
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,560
Lakshmana, there must be
a reason behind it.

225
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,000
If it was an easy task,

226
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,520
the guru wouldn't have travelled
all the way to Ayodhya.

227
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,960
The path to a difficult task
is laden with difficulties.

228
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:51,960
Please be patient.

229
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:53,960
All right, Rama.

But you can't drink it.

238
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,920
Excuse me, guru,
but what's the reason?

239
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,400
Is it some kind of test?

240
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,680
Lakshmana, situations
and tests occur unannounced.

241
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,320
I brought you two with me

242
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,160
for a challenging task.

243
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,080
I want to check

244
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,120
if you two are capable enough
to accomplish this task or not.

245
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,800
Your war with the Asuras
could go on for many days.

246
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,320
If you can't stay hungry
and fight with them,

247
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,720
you may drink water and go back.

[dramatic music playing]

249
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,080
They are Asuras.

250
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,880
They can't control hunger
and worldly desires.

251
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,760
When they are hungry,

252
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,320
they steal and snatch things.

253
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,520
They loot people

254
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,200
and satiate their hunger and desires

255
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,680
by committing crimes.

256
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,160
Do you know what it means?

257
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:47,920
I understood, guru.

258
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,200
If we sin like them,

259
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:54,680
we can never defeat them.

260
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,680
So we must control
our hunger and distractions.

261
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:00,400
Right?

262
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,520
Acharya, we get your point.

263
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,720
My Lakshmana is strong

264
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:11,840
and tolerant.

265
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,320
He didn't get your intention

266
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,240
so he made this mistake.

267
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,640
Guru, please forgive him.

268
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:23,720
Yes, guru. I assure you

269
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,360
that I'm ready

270
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,720
to endure hunger and thirst.

271
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,080
Lakshmana, physical strength
and hard work can help

272
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,320
to control our hunger

273
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,960
but to stay away from distractions,

274
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,320
one must be compassionate.

275
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,360
You must control all your senses.

276
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,280
Will you be able to do it?

Why are you smiling away?

Because Sita won't leave us.

317
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,520
The rule made by our father is such.

318
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,760
It requires hundreds of people
to move Shiva's bow.

319
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:50,520
Then who could pick it up

and fasten the bowstring?

Yes, Sita. Please tell us.

than that.

in store for her.

00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,120
This is the world's
most powerful spear.

370
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,840
It is more powerful
even than Indra's Vajra.

371
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,560
Do you know who I made this for?

372
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:12,960
[door opening]

[Sanskrit chant playing]

374
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,000
- You!
- Yes.

375
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,000
It is I, the King of Lanka,

376
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,120
Ravana.

377
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:44,480
Mayasura,

378
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,880
I hear you possess something
worthy only of me,

379
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:55,560
and so I have come to collect it.

380
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,400
What a marvellous weapon!

381
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,800
I cannot give the spear
to you, Dashanan.

382
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,000
Dashanan is not here
for the spear, Father.

383
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:10,840
[intense music playing]

384
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:17,720
Incredible.

385
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,160
You are exactly
what I had heard about you.

386
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:27,880
You have a rage in your eyes,

387
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:29,920
a boldness in your voice,

388
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,600
a voluptuous body

389
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,240
and a sharp intellect.

390
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,440
[unsettling music playing]

391
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,920
Only you can give me a son

392
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,560
who will fulfil my dream

393
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:00,400
of usurping Indra's throne.

394
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:04,320
No!

395
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,880
I cannot give my daughter's hand
in marriage to a monster like you.

396
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,000
[dramatic music playing]

397
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,640
'Veer bhogya vasundhara', Mayasura.

398
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,440
The one who is brave
shall forever rule.

399
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:30,240
And there is no one braver
than Dashanan in all ten directions.

400
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,760
Intimidating an elderly architect
with a spear on his shoulder

401
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:36,960
is no act of bravery, Dashanan.

402
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,360
[dramatic music playing]

403
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:52,440
Are you not afraid
of taking that tone with Ravana?

404
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,280
Perhaps, you have not heard of me.

405
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:03,320
I have heard

406
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,000
that you snatch
the wealth of people,

407
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,760
the lives of the helpless
and the modesty of women!

408
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:13,680
I have heard everything.

409
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,360
Watch out, Mandodari.

410
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,040
You have outraged a woman's modesty
many times.

411
00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:23,120
Today, commit the sin
of killing a woman too.

412
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:24,880
Mandodari!

413
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,240
[suspenseful music playing]

414
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:34,840
[music fades]

415
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:42,560
I will not kill you.

416
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,920
Beautiful women
are not meant to be killed.

417
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,200
Rather, lives are meant
to be sacrificed for them.

418
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:53,840
Mayasura!

419
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:56,840
Your daughter belongs to me.

420
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:00,800
As for this spear,

421
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:04,320
I accept it as a gift.

422
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,840
A weapon can be snatched, Dashanan,

423
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,120
but companionship has to be sought.

424
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:14,960
I am not a commodity.

425
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,760
So, be a gentleman and respectfully

426
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,240
ask my father
for my hand in marriage.

427
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:23,840
[dramatic music playing]

428
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,440
Demon architect Mayasura,

429
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,360
I, Dashanan, the King of Lanka,

430
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:41,840
admit that

431
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,760
my Lanka's splendour

432
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,760
pales in comparison
to your daughter.

433
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,360
Your daughter

434
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,320
is worthy of being
the Queen of the rakshasas.

435
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:56,400
I ask you

436
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,320
for your daughter
Mandodari's hand in marriage.

437
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:06,160
Do you and your fearless daughter
consent to this union?

438
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,040
I will tell my answer to my father...

439
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,040
In private.

440
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:15,680

[sinister music playing]

442
00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:29,360
Father! Get up, Father.

443
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:30,960
Please get up.

444
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:33,360
Father!

445
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,120
Mandodari, you...

446
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,280
- You cannot do this.
- Father, he is Dashanan.

447
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,160
If he wishes,
he could destroy everything

448
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:45,400
and take me away by force.

449
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,320
It would be better
if I went with my dignity intact.

450
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,360
In order to protect your father,

451
00:36:55,400 --> 00:37:00,160
will you leave your dignity
in the hands of a sinner?

452
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,600
What a disaster!

453
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,160
No, Father.

454
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,840
This is not a disaster
but an opportunity.

455
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,640
You have to grab a person's hand
to drag them out of the mire.

456
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,200
I must make this sacrifice to bring
the demons on the right path.

457
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,440
It is impossible to reform Ravana.

458
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,200
I am aware.

459
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,160
Father, I can't change the present

460
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:29,880
but I can improve my future.

461
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,640
I can guide Dashanan's children

462
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,320
and the upcoming generation
of Asuras.

463
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,280
I can make sure that
the future Asura generation

464
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,480
follows righteousness, Father.

465
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,720
Father, please permit me.

Ravana and Mandodari got married.

468

On the one hand,
Mandodari sacrificed herself

for Asura's future

470
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:04,840
and on the other hand, Ravana

471
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,480
wanted to procure a powerful weapon.

with a powerful son.'

The planetary positions
aren't favourable

but my son

482
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,320
will be invincible and immortal.

483
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,520
I couldn't get it through penance

484
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,360
but my son will earn it
through luck.

485
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:57,160
The unfavourable planetary positions

486
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,840
will have to become favourable!

with your power and insolence!

512

Ravana, I'll adversely affect

513

your son's horoscope and you too!

you'll stay put under my feet!

You will always

522

look downwards!

523
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,080
You will never be able

[dramatic music playing]

527
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,240
Do you mean Ravana
held Shani captive forever?

It was just an illusion.

This time Ravana was confronting
Shani, the judge of karma.

Lord Shani's judgement never fails.

Ravana was unaware

532
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,000
because Shani never
affected Lanka adversely.

A Brahmin!

553
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:09,040
I warned the sages
against coming into my forest.

555
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,120
