You are a King, my dear friend.
And a King should not be over-enthusiastic.
We are here to fight for righteousness.
Not for an ambush like this.
You are our army chief commander.
If anything had happened to you because of this over-enthusiasm,
then what would I tell the monkey army?
What would I tell Mother Ruma?
[mellow music playing]
I made a mistake, my Lord.
I was overcome by excitement,
and I ended up committing a big mistake.
I left behind the army
that you brought along with you,
and surged ahead to fight Ravana all alone.
Please forgive me.
Stand up, friend.
[flute playing]
You are a leader in this war.
You are the King of this vast army.
And it is a leader's duty
to take everyone along with him.
You have to follow the rules.
Do not think of just this moment,
but think about the days that will come in future.
I got carried away by emotions,
and did not think about the future.
It was inappropriate to attack Ravana all of a sudden.
But it is appreciable that you are
accepting your mistake.
You have given us an example of your strength.
Now show us how capable you are.
We are standing at the enemy's doorstep.
Please guide your monkey army, dear friend.
Set an example for them.
And become my auxiliary
in this war.
Are you overseeing such a big fault of mine
and entrusting me with such a big responsibility?
You are giving your devotee
another chance to put his chin up.
You are great, my Lord.
You are truly noble.
[conch-shell playing] [vocalisation]
- Hail Shree Rama. - Hail Shree Rama.
Hail Shree Rama.
The rightful place for a crown is on a King's head.
- Shuka. - Your Majesty.
Go and return this crown to the King of Kishkindha.
Should I convey any message, Your Majesty?
After the attack,
there will be no treaty or message.
[theme music playing]
[theme music continues playing]
[theme music continues]
- What? - Yes.
His name was Sugriva.
Dashanana had a tough time handling him.
All of Lanka is under stress.
It's not the time
for Lanka to worry,
but it is time to contemplate.
Think about it. When one monkey from the entire army,
gave worry lines on Lankesh's forehead,
what will he do
when the leader of that army
comes in front of Ravana.
What will happen then?
Dashanana has summoned for a special meeting tomorrow morning.
I will go there and gather all the information.
But, Sita... What will Rama do?
How will he win over
Lanka and Lankesh,
who has been invincible?
The one who compelled the ocean to make way,
the one who turned all the monkeys into warriors,
nothing is impossible for him, Trijata.
And now he will do something
that no one would have ever imagined.
My Lord, your plan is wonderful.
If we did not have your support and inside information about Lanka,
then this plan would have never been possible.
All the commanders, listen carefully.
Ravana feels
that his biggest strength is that
Lanka is surrounded by water on all four sides.
We will turn this strength of his
into his weakness.
There are four main doors to enter Lanka.
The door at the East, the door at the West,
one door at the North and the fourth door at the South.
We will block all the routes that supply food and munitions.
We will surround Lanka from all sides.
No one will be able to enter from outside.
And no one will be able to move out of Lanka.
We will have two advantages because of this.
Firstly, Lanka will weaken by the day and secondly,
the morale of the Lankan army will keep dropping.
My Lord,
which commander will man which entrance?
Let the monkey army surround Lanka on all four sides, first.
We will then decide
which commander will take over which entrance.
First of all, we will cover the Southern entrance.
Because that has the least security.
One part of the army will go towards the Western entrance.
And without wasting any time,
one part of the army will go to the Eastern entrance.
The Northern entrance is the most important of all.
And the most sensitive.
If we attack from that entrance,
then both our army and army camp,
will be hurt.
That's why the vigilance of this entrance must be the highest.
I will send my most capable commander to this entrance.
We cannot be stress-free just by surrounding Lanka.
Ravana and his army will
not sit quietly after seeing our move.
We have to be ready for any attack.
[dramatic music playing]
Your Majesty, 160 million monkeys have surrounded us from all sides.
They have gained supremacy over all the entrances.
The situation is critical, Your Majesty.
Please guide us on how to overcome this situation.
The situation is very ordinary, Prahasta.
And the solution is simple.
We have to kill Rama.
We have to present
and example in front of the world.
An example of Ravana's strength.
The destruction of his army
should be so horrific
that the entire universe should tremble
at the name of Rakshasas.
No one should dare to attack Lanka
for thousands of years to come.
We have to prove
that no one can stand before
Lankesh Dashanana Ravana,
Lord Mahadeva's devotee.
Irrespective of whether it is man,
or Lord Narayana himself.
Are you ready, son?
My sword is thirsty
to taste the blood of Lanka's enemies.
Go and fulfil the responsibility
of being the Prince of Lanka and my commander in chief.
Chart out a strategy and surge forward.
I am with you in every decision that you make.
Rama and his monkey army will have no idea
about the disaster that is going to befall them.
Why are we delaying, Rama?
Let us go and attack Lanka.
Lakshmana is right, my Lord.
Why should we give an opportunity to the enemy to get ready?
We should soon hoist our victory flag.
This is a war for righteousness, Hanuman.
And righteousness gives everyone a chance.
Including Ravana.
And this will be his last chance.
But, why, Rama?
Because it's not just Ravana and his army that's at stake,
but also the soldier's families and future is at stake.
The best war is the one that has not been fought.
And the best strategy
is the one which puts off the war.
Prepare to send a peace proposal.
It is imperative to give Ravana this final chance.
My Lord, who will take the peace proposal?
Jambavanta, you are the most experienced and wise.
Please tell us,
who would be the ideal messenger of peace?
My Lord, all of us
are familiar with Lakshmana's temper.
If the Rakshasas cause any problems,
and Lakshmana loses his patience,
then your objective will fail.
Hanuman has already come to be known as the destroyer of Lanka
and Lankesh's enemy.
This is not the time to send him.
We have to send the message of a challenge.
After what King Sugriva did yesterday,
there is no opportunity
for any talk between
him and Ravana.
Nala and Neela,
have the sharpness in creating a bridge.
But they are not proficient in negotiating.
We need someone who...
Who is peace-loving and justice-loving.
He has to be strong and wise.
One who can speak well and has muscle power.
One who is well balanced in his activities,
and is in a position that is worthy of talking to a King.
One who is the future King.
That is a perfect choice, Rama.
Angada should go with the peace proposal.
Certainly, my Lord.
Angada is my disciple.
I have complete faith in his capability.
Angada.
My Lord, I'm the youngest in the army
and you're entrusting me with such a big responsibility.
This is also essential, Angada.
The enemy should get an idea,
that even the youngest member of this army,
is qualified in wisdom and strength
and strong in his principles.
I entrust you with the duty of carrying the peace proposal, Angada.
It is an extremely important and difficult task.
I will not let you down, my Lord.
I know, Angada.
Convey my message to Ravana in clear words.
Tell him this is the final option and the last offer.
If he is still being adamant,
and does not return Sita to me,
then war will be the last option.
And Ravana's unrighteous Lanka will be finished.
[theme song playing]
[theme song continues playing]
Go, Angada.
- Hail Shree Rama. - Hail Shree Rama.
Angada.
Make sure to keep your teacher's honour intact.
Is there any message Uncle Hanuman?
Have patience, Angada.
A hasty decision can prove destructive.
But, yes...
If anyone talks ill about Lord Shree Rama,
and if they insult him, then...
Then?
Remember
whose disciple you are.
Hail Shree Rama.
Someone quickly inform Lankesh. That monkey is back again.
Quickly guard the armoury and arsenal
lest he burns down Lanka once again.
I've not come as a warrior, but as a messenger.
I have brought a message from Shree Rama.
Show me the way to reach Lankesh, or should I make my own path?
Look. He's back.
Ravana.
If you go ahead and take a right, you will find the assembly hall.
Let Ravana prepare for the war.
Only truth and righteousness will win.
My Shree Rama will win, Trijata.
I have heard that Shree Rama has sent a peace proposal
with a monkey messenger. Why is that?
Why would he send a messenger before the war?
This is the difference, Trijata.
Difference between my Shree Rama and Ravana.
Shree Rama
gives his enemy also one last chance, Trijata.
[dramatic music playing]
[exhilarating music playing]
Please be seated.
I am just a messenger of Shree Rama.
You can stand up with respect
when Shree Rama comes here.
Who dares to enter Lankesh's assembly without permission?
Looks like your hearing ability is weak, nobleman.
I am a messenger of Rama.
And I need only Shree Rama's orders to go to any place.
Not anyone's permission.
I have brought a message for Ravana, from Shree Rama.
I know
what message that forest dweller must have sent.
[Ravana's praises playing]
He has sent a peace proposal.
Once again,
he has sent an invitation to a treaty.
This is what I expected from a coward.
[eerie music playing]
And look at the messenger he has sent.
One, he is a monkey,
and secondly, a young one.
The representative is a symbol
of the sender's personality.
It is better if you do not talk about Shree Rama's personality.
It is beyond your thinking.
As far as representation is concerned
Shree Rama has sent me here and proven that
even the youngest member of his army
is capable of fulfilling his task.
And as far as my being a monkey is concerned,
this monkey is the son of King Vali
who had treated you for six months
with his worthy hospitality.
I hope you remember.
[laughing]
Are you mocking Ravana?
Lad, if I want to I can take your life
this instant.
But I will not do that.
Because you are my friend Vali's son.
You are like my son.
A war between friends is not good.
It is so shameful,
that the Prince of Kishkindha,
the future King of Kishkindha,
has become the slave of a forest dweller.
That forest dweller
who killed your father by deceit.
Doing such a measly task
does not suit you.
You are proving how petty your behaviour is, Dashanan
by not giving the Kishkindha's Prince and messenger of Shree Rama
a suitable place to sit in your assembly.
And the meaning of not giving me a suitable place is
that you are insulting my Lord Shree Rama.
I will not tolerate this.
Give me a suitable place in your assembly, first.
And then I will deliver Shree Rama's message.
If you would have come here as Vali's son, Angada,
then you would certainly be asked to sit down.
But you have come here as a messenger of that forest dweller.
He did not have any place in his kingdom,
and he is wandering.
There is no place for that forest dweller
and his monkey messenger
in my Lanka.
