'- Hail the son of Dasharatha. - All hail!'
'- Hail the bow destroyer, Shri Rama. - All hail!'
Father.
'- Hail the son of Dasharatha. - All hail!'
'- Hail the bow destroyer, Shri Rama. - All hail!'
Rama!
[song playing]
Rama!
When you bid goodbye to Ayodhya,
you were just my son.
And today, I'm meeting you in this situation.
I'm Rama's father.
My son has matured
in a short span of time.
My Rama.
Father, I have become capable after touching the dust of your feet.
You can't snatch my right to touch your feet.
[song playing]
Son,
you shouldn't touch my feet.
You must embrace me, son.
[theme song playing]
Greetings, Father.
Lakshmana.
May God bless you with a long life.
[mellow music playing]
Greetings.
[joyful music playing]
We can't use divine powers on the earth.
We'll surely get exposed
and I'd lose my chance to feast.
[amusing music playing]
Shall we change our appearances?
[conch-shell playing]
Goddess Saraswati and Nandi,
you two will handle the music department.
I'm Lord Vayu.
I'll build the wedding canopy.
I'm Lord Agni. I will make the arrangements for delicious meal.
I'll be your assistant.
All kinds of food will be prepared in the kitchen, right?
[laughing]
I think I should lead this troupe.
I will play the role of an omniscient sage.
I'll be your attendant.
[conch-shell playing]
Let's begin our journey.
[devotional music playing]
Lord, I was waiting for You.
Will I get a chance to guide You
like I have guided
every kalpa and all of Rama's avatar?
Kakabhushundi,
you needn't take permission.
Who could guide me better than the one who guided
my Lord Shri Rama
during His many avatars?
Lord, Mother Sita and Lord Rama are guiding this world right now.
They are guiding everyone on the path of love,
sacrifice and dedication.

King Dasharatha from Ayodhya,
she is my daughter Sita.
Greetings, Father.
May God bless you with good fortune.
Daughter, I can't give you any other blessing.
You are beautiful, talented,
and your face exudes simplicity.
Illuminate your Ayodhya
with your brilliance forever, my child.
[vocalising]
Rama.
You used all your knowledge gained from your gurus in choosing her.
[theme song playing]
Please be seated.
King of Ayodhya,
let me introduce you to my family.
You have already met Sita's mother.
Greetings.
She is my younger sister, Urmila.
She is Mandavi and she is Shrutakirti.
Both of them are my younger brother Kushadhvaja's daughters.
[ethereal music playing]
Your Majesty,
if you don't mind,
may I ask you a question?
Acharya, you are Shri Rama's guru.
You don't need permission.
You may surely ask.
Your Majesty,
the daughters in your family
possess unparalleled brilliance.
But didn't you ever wish for a son?
[suspenseful music playing]
In other words,
didn't you ever worry about the gratification done by a son
after death?
Or who would ensure
that your soul goes to heaven?
[dramatic music playing]
Sage, I apologise
but I have studied Vedas, Upanishads and scriptures in depth.
None of those texts mention that daughters
have a lesser value, position
or rights than sons.
Neither in respect, position nor their rights.
My daughter gave Mithila
and me a new lease of life.
My daughter Sita
appeared like a drop of elixir from the arid land.
She is a daughter who saved Mithila from a sorry state.
Sage, I don't care about going to heaven as I have such a daughter.
The truth is that
after Sita came into our lives, I stopped worrying
about death and the aftermath of death.
Amazing.
Unprecedented, King of Mithila.
I got the answer to this question after a long time.
But, Your Majesty, I'm an atheist.
Common people believe
that only a son
can help attain liberation.
Maybe that's the reason,
Mahadeva bestowed me with a decent son so that I attain liberation.
My son-in-law, Rama.
[joyful music playing]
[theme song playing]
[theme song continues playing]
Rajarshi Janaka, you are right.
A marriage isn't just a bond between the groom and the bride.
It's also a bond between two families.
Henceforth, Rama is your son.
Your Majesty, we were discussing the same thing earlier.
We planned to bestow you with some more sons.
Sage, I didn't get your point.
Janaka, you have four daughters
and Ayodhya has four princes.
There couldn't have been a better coincidence
or relationship than this.
Lakshmana and Urmila's,
Bharata and Mandavi's,
Shatrughna and Shrutakirti's matches
are the best according to their age
and respective talents.
[exhilarating music playing]
King of Ayodhya, what is your opinion?
Sage,
there couldn't have been a better coincidence.
Though
we must also find out King of Mithila's opinion.
There couldn't have been a better offer for me
than all the four daughters in my family
getting married into the Suryavanshi family, King of Ayodhya.
The Mithila princesses
wouldn't have to worry about getting distanced from their sisters.
But
it's important in Mithila
to get the consent of the daughters before marriage.
Sure, Janaka.
It's important to know
the stand of those who have to stay together for a lifetime.
Both of you may talk to your daughters in private.
Sure.
Lakshmana, tell me.
Are you happy?
[joyful music playing]
Urmila, do you have a doubt?
Sita, you worshipped
and I got the blessings too.
Moreover, how could I doubt Mahadeva and Mother Gauri's decision?
But
why would just Urmila
get the blessings from Sita's worshipping?
We must also get it.
Right, Mandavi?
How many times do I have to request you?
They are relatives from Ayodhya.
Nobody can enter until Princess Janki gets married.
The arrangements for your food
is made in that canopy.
I have been requesting you for the same thing.
We have come to make arrangements for this auspicious wedding.
After I introduce my group members to you, you'd know.
Look at those two.
They are the best cooks in the world.
And this little mischievous child is their assistant.
This Pandit is so scholarly that you may compare him
to Lord Brahma.
This woman is an unmatched dancer
and plays the musical instruments dexterously
like Goddess Saraswati.
I'm the group's leader
Ram Asray.
And she is my aide.
- Shall we go inside? Let's go. - Stop!
It's Mithila Palace and Princess Janki is getting married.
His Majesty already made the arrangements.
You all aren't needed.
Also, you all may go to that side to eat.
- We don't want to eat food. We just want... Let us go. - Go away!
[gloomy music playing]
What do we do now?
Lord,
I'll take your leave.
- Fine. You may go. - Okay.
Lord, please excuse me.
What do you want to do?
Lord, how long do we have to wait?
Shall I become invisible and go there?
Lord Vayu, even I know how to become invisible
but we don't have to use our divine powers.
Ganesha, it's my right to become invisible and flow.
Getting the offerings first is my right.
[chuckling]
- Father, shall I go? - Nobody needs to go.
All of you must wait here.
I'll think of a way.
Please be quick.
My stomach is hurting due to hunger.
Mine too.
I'm starved.
Son, you look dull due to hunger. Please eat these.
I have the right to it.
Hey! You look hungrier.
You may eat the entire basketful.
Mother, I don't need this basket.
I just want these ripe fruits.
[comical music playing]
[wings flapping]
[mellow music playing]
[joyful music playing]
King of Mithila.
All my four sons
are ready for the marriage, Rajarshi.
Your Majesty, my daughters are ready too.
[joyful music playing]
Please sit.
[joyful music playing]
Royal Priest Shatananda.
Yes, guru.
Please find the auspicious date for the marriage.
I'll find the wedding date for this mesmerising
and the most auspicious wedding in the world as soon as possible.
Stop, Shatananda!
[suspenseful music playing]
I know a scholarly, omniscient
and knowledgeable sage called Ram Asray.
He never makes a mistake in finding the wedding date.
He has come here along with his disciples at my request.
[exhilarating music playing]
I can see them.
He has entered the palace gate
along with his disciples.
[drums beating]
It's a mesmerising scene. Unmatched.
Ram Asray will finalise
the wedding date for Rama's wedding.
Rama,
please bring him inside respectfully.
Yes, Acharya.
Sita,
he is accompanied by an attendant and a few aides.
Please welcome them.
You'll be blessed.
I'll do it.
[joyful music playing]
Lord, how long do we have to wait?
When will we get a chance to go inside?
[conch-shell playing]
[anklets chiming]
[theme song playing]
Our wait is over.
Lord Narayana and Goddess Lakshmi
are here to welcome us.
- [conch-shell playing] - [theme song playing]
I pay my respects to you,
omniscient Ram Asray.
I, Ram Asray, am so lucky
that Shri Rama is here
to welcome me.
[mellow music playing]
I, Sita, greet all of you including Devi Gaurika.
[exhilarating music playing]
[song playing]
[song continues playing]
[conch-shell playing]
[exhilarating music playing]
I, Ram Asray,
can just give you the sacred ash.
Please accept it.
- [conch-shell playing] - [theme song playing]
[theme song playing]
[mantra chanting]
Please come.
[theme music playing]
[conch-shell playing]
[devotional song playing]
[devotional song continues playing]
Your Majesty,
many people know such magic.
Is it just for entertainment
or it has a deeper meaning?
If our faith is true,
even a stone is akin to God.
In case one doesn't have true faith...
[mantra chanting]
In that case, even God is equivalent to stone, Sage Jabali.
As you are an atheist,
you wouldn't know this truth.
[damaru playing]
[mantra chanting]
[mantra chanting continues]
Impossible!
[intense music plays]
Sage, is there a problem?
[intense music plays]
