Neither you nor your arrows
can pierce through my shield.
[tense music plays]
[dramatic music playing]
Hail Shri Rama!
[clanking]
[thunder cracking]
[Atikaya chortling]
[grunting]
My friend,
even my celestial mace couldn't harm him.
[Atikaya chortling]
[dramatic music playing]
[Atikaya grunting]
Lakshmana.
Lord.
- Vibhishana. - Lord.
I was headed here
when I met Hanuman.
Earlier, you said
that the path of righteousness is painful.
However, it's our duty to keep moving forward.
So, I calmed myself
and came here to fulfil my duty.
He is Atikaya.
[thudding]
[theme song playing]
[theme song continues playing]
My brave nephew
and Dashanan's son.
He is the epitome of power.
He can be killed only with a Brahmastra!
Because his shield is impenetrable.
Then, Rama, what are we waiting for?
We have the Brahmastra given to us by sages.
Rama, please allow us to use it.
No, Lakshmana.
Brahmastra is unstoppable, but it can cause great destruction.
[suspenseful music playing]
Brahmastra is meant to protect the universe
but it could also destroy the universe.
Lakshmana, we can't use Brahmastra to kill just one person.
This weapon is the most powerful one.
If we invoke it,
it will kill thousands of creatures.
It won't just kill vanaras and rakshasas.
It'll kill all living creatures including animals and birds.
Lakshmana, that is against our values.
We can't commit the sin
of killing innocent creatures in this war of righteousness.
I knew it.
You won't invoke Brahmastra.
Rama, you are treading the path of righteousness,
which is an arduous one.
While walking down this path,
truth, values, and principles
become our limitations.
My Atikaya isn't bound
by such limitations.
He will attack your army
like a blazing sword.
My Atikaya will be victorious.
In case
you let go of your values and invoke Brahmastra,
you'll no longer be considered righteous,
even if you continue to follow the path of righteousness.
You'd lose your importance
and value.
Rama and Ravana would be considered the same.
You'd
prove to be a curse to your army.
Because the powerful Brahmastra
will finish off everyone.
Rama, we fight a war to win.
We can win this war only with the help of Brahmastra.
If we don't use it in this war,
we'll surely lose this war, Rama.
And in case we use it,
it'll destroy our army.
Rama, you don't seem to understand.
Atikaya can destroy our entire army alone.
Rama, they will die anyway!
[dramatic music playing]
Lord,
that deceptive rakshasa
can only be killed by Brahmastra,
and I, your devotee,
possess the power of eight 'siddhis' and nine 'nidhis'.
Please
give me the permission to confront him.
Yes, Rama. We can't waste time.
Lord, please permit me.
No, Hanuman!
Just because you have the power of a boon,
I can't defy another boon.
[dramatic music playing]
If you kill Atikaya,
it'll tarnish the dignity of Lord Brahma and Brahmastra.
Today, a father is needed,
not a son.
Instead of you,
your father
Lord Vayu is needed today!
[conch-shell playing]
Father Lord Vayu,
I, your son, invoke you.
We need you in the war for justice!
Please appear!
[intriguing music plays]
[wind whooshing]
[conch-shell playing]
Lord Vayu,
we need your help in this battle
between righteousness and unrighteousness.
Lord, I'm gratified.
I was overjoyed as you took my son Hanuman under your wings.
However, now I have the chance
to help you in this war for justice.
Lord, please order. What do you want me to do?
Lord Vayu, he is Ravana's son Atikaya.
He can only be killed by Brahmastra.
However, the power of Brahmastra
can kill thousands of creatures.
It will turn this earth into a crematory.
Lord, I got the point.
You want me to control
the temperature after Lakshmana attacks Atikaya with the Brahmastra,
so that it doesn't harm other creatures.
Lord, your blessings will help me do it.
[conch-shell playing]
Go on, Lakshmana!
As you say, Rama.
[motivational song playing]
[thudding]
Atikaya, get ready to die!
[thunder rumbling]
[thunder breaking]
Brahmastra!
[thunder cracking]
[thunder rumbling]
[explosion]
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!
[triumphant music plays]
[song playing]
Impossible.
My son and I have been deceived.
Lord Vayu,
be ready to get punished for this bad karma.
Rama,
you opened all the options for me to unleash carnage.
Now, principles and rules
will have no meaning.
Now we'll have
the great battle!
[intense music plays]
[mantra chanting]
O, Goddess Nikumbala!
I have been venerating You
and meditating for a long time.
But still, you aren't granting my wish.
Father was right.
The deities have always been
ignoring the penance of we, asuras.
You are also a Goddess
and hence side with the gods.
You are against us, rakshasas.
Lankesh waited for 10,000 years
and sacrificed ten heads to get his boon!
However, I have just one head.
Today,
if I don't get the Shakti Astra,
I'll offer my only head
to You, Goddess!
If You don't accept my reverence,
You must accept my sacrifice!
[thunder rumbling]
'Stop, Indrajit!'
[lightning crackling]
Goddess,
You are late.
Were You being biased?
'I was testing you.'
'You venerate me like a mother, '
'so I hesitated in my decision to let you walk'
'the path of unrighteousness!'
'I'm appeased by your penance'
'but not by your intention.'
'If you use the Shakti Astra for unrighteousness, '
'it could end your life!'
Goddess, this war is more important than my life or death.
If I have to sacrifice
my head as an obedient son, I'll do so gladly.
I just wish to get the Shakti Astra
that can't be countered by anyone in this world.
I want the Shakti Astra
at any cost!
'Granted!'
'However, please be mindful.'
'You can use this weapon just once!'
'No other weapon can counter this weapon!'
'It will injure the one you target.'
'But it won't come back to you.'
My single blow
is enough to end this war.
Please give me the Shakti Astra
without further delay.
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!
- [conch-shell playing]
- [wind whooshing] - [bells clanging]
[mantra chanting]
[thunder breaking]
[intense music plays]
[drums beating]
[dramatic music playing]
Father, I completed the ritual.
'- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!'
I can hear the enemy's cheers on the battlefield.
Son, please remember
that we have been conspired against
from both sides.
On one hand, there are the deities,
and on the other hand,
there is Lanka's betrayer, Vibhishana.
He knows the secret to killing every warrior in Lanka.
This is the reason
first, my Kumbhakarna was killed
and then
Atikaya.
[lightning crackling]
Father, we'll overcome this conspiracy
with the power of Goddess Nikumbala.
Please be rest assured.
I, your son, promise you.
This war will end
before sunrise.
Because your Meghanada
has the power of the Shakti Astra.
The weapon to kill Rama.
Go
and seek your vengeance.
Finish them off.
I have high expectations of you.
Finish off that forest dweller and his monkeys.
[dramatic vocalising]
May you become victorious.
[dramatic music playing]
'- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!'
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!
