Forgive me, Mahadeva!
I can earn a bad name for insulting my deity,
but I can't let unrighteousness win!
If Your weapon
assists Ravana's injustice in this war for justice,
Your devotee
will counter it!
[conch-shell playing]
[thunder breaking]
- Mahadeva! - Where did Chandrahasa go?
"Shambhu!"
[conch-shell playing]
How did it happen?
Goddess, my deity made the right choice.
So I was compelled to do this.
My Lord Shri Rama is such.
He didn't flout the decorum,
but he successfully restrained
the most dangerous weapon in the world.
He proved to the world yet again
that Shri Rama is the supreme man.
[joyful music playing]
[theme song playing]
"Dharma eva hato hanti."
"Dharmo rakshati rakshitah."
"Tasmad dharmam na tyajami."
"Ma no dharma hato vadhit."
Duty destroys the one
who destroys duty.
Duty protects the one
who protects duty.
So, forsaking duty
out of fear of death
is unacceptable!
[sombre music playing]
Lord, it's already dusk.
Please punish this sinner quickly.
- Finish him off! - Finish him off!
- Yes, finish him off! - Yes, finish him off!
- Kill this evil person! - Kill him!
- Kill this evil person! - Kill this evil person!
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!
[theme song playing]
Dashanan, the arrow I mounted
needs a target!
[motivational song playing]
[explosion]
[theme music playing]
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!
We fall on the ground in no time.
I stood on the ground in the past and am still standing on the ground!
Look at yourself!
[suspenseful music playing]
Lord, the sun will soon set.
Please attack.
No, Hanuman.
Today is not the end
but it has brought an opportunity.
Righteousness is good
because it gives unrighteousness a last chance!
[theme music playing]
My friend, you gave umpteen chances to Ravana.
Hanuman delivered him your message.
Angada went to convince him, but Ravana
was unaffected.
Then why did you give him another chance today?
I don't think it's righteous to attack an unarmed person!
As it is, the war isn't over.
Ravana lost the duel, not the war.
Moreover,
we don't want to end Ravana's sinful ways.
It's more important to get rid of Ravana's mindset
than to kill Ravana.
So there is still time.
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!
[sinister music plays]
'I, Rama, Dasharatha's son,'
'a Raghuvanshi,'
'the disciple of Vashishtha and Vishvamitra,'
'will wreak havoc on you with the help of my army!'
'I'll destroy you,'
'your unrighteous sons,'
'and your entire clan!'
[thunder rumbling]
'You may use this weapon'
'to get the desired result.'
'Ravana, it depends on you'
'whether you use it'
'virtuously'
'or sinfully!'
[intense music plays]
[suspenseful music playing]
Lankesh!
It's the first time I have seen you
so worried in years, Lankesh.
Dashanan, what is troubling you?
[tense music plays]
I hope you weren't seriously hurt during the war.
How is Indrajit?
He is better.
His heartbeat is normal.
Vaidya Sushen said
that our son will soon recover.
He used the rarest herbal medicine
in the world
to restore the power
of our Indrajit.
Lankesh, please mend your ways before it's too late.
I was informed
about the action on the battlefield.
You lost your chariot, your honour,
and even your Chandrahasa.
- We'll lose this battle. - I didn't lose.
[intriguing vocalising]
I didn't lose.
The war
has just begun!
Lankesh,
you just saw a ray of Shri Rama's brilliance.
I'm afraid...
I know
I'm repeating myself and you
won't accept it.
But, Lankesh, it's the truth.
Your well-wishers are rightly worried.
Lord Vishnu is confronting you
in the garb of an ascetic!
And this is why your Mahadeva,
your deity,
didn't support you.
Because, Lankesh, He reveres Narayana!
[dramatic music playing]
Lankesh, please don't rubbish the truth.
You are mistaking Narayana
for a lowly human!
He is Narayana, Lankesh!
[thunder breaking]
[intriguing music plays]
[tense music plays]
"I bow down to Lord Shiva."
[mantra chanting]
"I bow down to Lord Shiva."
I fought hundreds of wars
and sustained wounds.
However, I feel wounded
and pained today.
I can't believe
that my favourite God,
Mahadeva abandoned me.
You withdrew Your blessings.
How did I fall short
in my devotion?
Or my dedication
and veneration weren't good enough.
Did You abandon me?
You gave me
the strongest weapon in this world,
but snatched it from me
when I needed it the most.
[dramatic music playing]
It's not that
I'm unaware of the reason
You withdrew Your blessings.
Or why you chose to side with the forest dweller.
Goddess, I neither supported
nor stranded any one of the two.
I'm bound
by righteousness and truth.
Ravana flouted these two things
and chose to be unrighteous and deceitful.
He abducted somebody's wife.
And then
he declared war against the same person.
Ravana
earned Chandrahasa
with his karma and austerities.
However, when he chose to sin,
when the symbol of justice, Chandrahasa,
started getting used to doing injustice,
and when my warnings were overlooked,
both the cycle and outcome of karma
changed!
Mahadeva, You left my side.
However, I'll never leave
Your protection and Your feet.
I know
my Mahadeva is upset with me.
But I'm not against You.
I'm against
deities.
This war
and this incident
are a conspiracy against me.
The deities
have been attacking me since my childhood.
Look.
However, they have forgotten
that I'm not an ordinary rakshasa.
I'm Mahadeva's ardent devotee,
Lankesh Dashanan Ravana!
Father.
Meghanada.
Father...
Meghanada! Meghanada.
Don't exert yourself.
Please rest, son.
No, Mother.
When Lanka is in danger,
its prince can't rest.
Father.
I want to meet Father right away.
What were the two of you talking about?
I couldn't hear properly.
Son, it was nothing.
- Please rest. - No, Mother.
Meghanada!
Son.
Please be careful.
Your wounds haven't healed yet.
Mother, my wounds won't heal
until I kill that forest dweller.
Please don't worry about me.
Your son is brave.
I'm not a weakling.
I, Your devotee, am not weak.
Your Ravana
could get beheaded,
but would never bow down.
I bow down
only in front of You.
You
are my Tamas, Rajas, and Sattva qualities!
I won't let go
of my desire for victory until my last breath.
And also my belief that the forest dweller
is a human.
[dramatic music playing]
It's not about owning Sita,
but the question mark on the rakshasa clan.
Lanka's honour is at stake.
The honour of the lord of ten lokas,
Lankesh Dashanan Ravana, Your ardent devotee, is at stake.
So even if Narayana is against me, He will lose!
[intense music plays]
I think the deities forgot
that they are trying to vanquish me,
Ravana.
I, Ravana,
am invincible and immortal.
I have the elixir behind my navel.
That forest dweller can't kill me.
I earned this body
with the help of austerities done for thousands of years,
my strength, and the blessings of Mahadeva.
Even if that forest dweller is Narayana,
he can't kill me
as a lowly human boy.
'Father, your wish will surely be fulfilled!'
[intense music plays]
[dramatic music playing]
[dramatic music intensifies]
Your son is back!
[vocalising]
Father, you need not go into the battlefield.
I'll throw the gang of vanaras and humans
at your feet.
I, your son,
will restore your honour!
Indrajit, my Lanka and I
are lucky
to have a son like you.
Father, please be rest assured.
Your son won't disappoint you.
Rama and Lakshmana
won't be able to see tomorrow's sunrise!
So go to your meditation ground
and invoke Devi Nikumbala.
Get the chariot,
which makes you invincible
on the battlefield.
Get the weapon,
which is the strongest weapon in this world.
Even Narayana
won't be able to confront it!
Show the prowess of rakshasas
to those humans!
And help restore
the honour of your father, your rakshasa clan,
and Lanka!
[intense music plays]
May you become victorious!
