I'll hand over
the rule of Ayodhya to Bharata as soon as I reach there.
Then Bharata will fulfil
his king's order and his duties,
performing the Ashvamedha 'yajna' with his wife
for the country's progress.
I, your devotee, have vowed to serve you for a lifetime.
You will see my, your servant's, reflection
wherever you go.
Hanuman, you'll act as a mirror
for those who can't see their reflection.
I'll be free from my responsibilities as king
and set out to search for my Sita!
I would neither be constrained by my royal duties
nor the progress of my kingdom.
My Ayodhya has flourished like a garden.
My Sita must be waiting for me.
This is why I remembered Sita
every moment during the war.
Lord, it has been years.
Do you still believe
that Mother Sita is safe?
"Belief."
I don't trust Sita's well-being
but her promise.
Her promise was to meet me again.
'I promise you that very soon'
'Ayodhya will be free of evil!'
'Rama's kingdom'
'will see Rama and Sita together yet again!'
My Sita will be unharmed
until her promise is fulfilled.
[sweeping music playing]
[tense music plays]
Catch him, Kush!
[dramatic music playing]
Let go of me!
Shoot, Luv!
Let go!
Move! [kicking]
Kush!
[Sanskrit mantra chanting]
It's impossible to kill me, Makarasura.
[chortling]
I,
Dasharatha's son Rama,
a Suryavanshi
and descendant of the Ikshvaku dynasty,
remember all my good karma
and duties,
and pray for the safety of my Sita and my child!
[theme song playing]
[theme song continues playing]
[snickering] What were you boasting about?
Luv, just look at him.
He is hiding like a coward behind our mother.
He isn't just 'Moorkhasura',
but 'Kayarasura' too.
Kush, you're right.
The ox was braver than him.
He fought diligently with us.
It was nearly impossible to restrain him.
Luv, let alone the ox,
I think the pitchers we broke in the forest
were braver than him.
Foolish children!
How could you compare a brave man like me to a lifeless pitcher?
I won't spare both of you.
It's believed that he is the most powerful underwater.
If he is such a sissy underwater,
we can only imagine his cowardice outside it.
[giggling]
Arrogant and immature kids!
If you utter one more word,
I'll kill the two of you!
You know nothing about my bravery!
Makarasura, anger harms us first before harming the world.
Luv, please shoot the arrow.
He didn't share with us the divine mantra for this celestial weapon.
O, Narayana.
Although I gave the celestial weapon
to those boys,
I forgot
to share the mantra to invoke it.
I made a blunder.
If those boys don't return,
I won't be able to forgive myself.
They must return.
They should return.
Luv, I warned you about his old age.
He must have forgotten.
You can just pretend to shoot an arrow
while we think of a way in the meantime.
[chortling]
Although you have the weapon, you don't know the mantra.
Well done!
Please shoot.
What should I do?
How will we save Mother?
All right. I'll kill her.
[sweeping music playing]
[chortling]
Just a few green leaves are left on the tree.
It seems Luv and Kush
won't be able to defeat Makarasura.
I'll go underwater and help them.
[Sanskrit mantra chanting]
[chortling]
An enemy can't be killed by a weapon alone
but by the divine mantra spoken with it.
Didn't your father teach you this?
[sweeping music playing]
[whooshing]
Mother!
[arrow piercing through]
[joyful song playing]
[joyful song continues playing]
[joyful music playing]
O, Mother. My austerity concludes.
Please bless me.
[devotional music playing]
[Chaupai playing]
Luv. Kush.
- Mother! - Mother!
[Chaupai playing]
[Chaupai continues playing]
The tree has turned green again.
It means Luv and Kush won!
- Hail Vandevi! - All hail!
Will both of you tell me
everything that happened while I was meditating?
Mother, actually...
Luv, I'm an expert storyteller.
Please give me a chance.
All right. Please go ahead.
As it is, I'm exhausted.
Mother, as soon as you started meditating,
we faced a catastrophe.
[water gushing]
We, your sons, are anyway
the disciples of Lord Valmiki.
We aren't scared of dangerous situations.
[arrows swishing]
- [arrows swishing] - [arrows piercing through]
[thudding]
[spear piercing through]
Then Luv shot the celestial weapon.
Luv, you didn't know the mantra to invoke the weapon.
Then how did you use it?
Chanting his name helps complete all tasks.
His devotion helps one attain liberation.
His name encapsulates the three lokas,
every austerity, and chant.
No mantra or tantra is greater than his name.
Actually, I took Shri Rama's name and shot the celestial weapon.
Well done, Luv.
You made me thoughtful.
Mother, did you hear him? Luv protected you like this.
It wasn't just me. Both of us saved you.
I forgot to tell you about the old man we met.
He gave us that celestial weapon
and helped us kill Makarasura.
It would have been impossible
to pierce through Makarasura's skin without his guidance.
Who are you talking about?
- The king of Mithila, Janaka! - The king of Mithila, Janaka!
[dramatic music playing]
He wanted to accompany us,
but I stopped him.
Actually, he is quite old.
However, he is waiting for you at the riverbank.
He said that he wouldn't leave
without meeting the woman who gave birth
to valiant children like us and instilled great values in us.
Mother, please hurry up.
He must still be waiting for us.
King Janaka?
Yes, Mother.
Why do you look worried
after hearing his name?
[suspenseful music playing]
Mother, we overcame danger.
Stop worrying and come with us.
Everyone is waiting for you,
including that old man.
[stones falling]
What is happening?
It seems we haven't overcome danger completely.
No, son.
It's the victory acclamation of righteousness.
The kingdom of the sinner
must be destroyed, along with the sin itself.
But Mother Phalgu should have given us a chance to escape.
Luv and Kush, where did both of you come from?
Let's go.
[earth shuddering]
[glass shattering]
The earth is shuddering.
[intense music plays]
We're done for.
No, son.
We die only if we lose courage.
We'll forge ahead with faith.
[earthquake]
[earth shuddering]
Where are all of them?
They should have returned by now.
I feel anxious.
Unrighteousness can't defeat
the protectors of righteousness.
They must be on their way.
Luv and Kush, please hold my hand.
[glass shattering]
Mother, I want you to hold my hand.
Your grip might loosen
in this dangerous vortex.
If you hold my hand tightly,
it won't slip!
Mother, please hold Kush's hand,
and I will hold your hand.
Today, neither will the mother let go of her sons' hands,
nor will the sons let go of their mother's!
It's a promise!
[song playing]
[song continues playing]
[song playing]
[earthquake]
Unrighteousness ended.
Mother Phalgu, now please protect righteousness and decorum.
[explosion]
Vandevi! Luv! Kush!
Where are the three of you?
- Luv! - Kush!
Kush! Luv!
The evil rakshasa's palace is getting destroyed.
[dramatic music playing]
Could Luv, Kush, and Vandevi be...
They will be fine, and come back safe.
They will surely return.
They will come back safe.
The night is approaching.
It seems we'd need assistance to find them.
I'll go and bring the villagers.
My army will accompany you.
Commander, please accompany him along with your soldiers.
O, Narayana! Please protect them.
[mellow music playing]
Lord.
Hanuman.
What brings you here?
As I saw you, my Lord,
busy with work,
I came here to serve you.
Hanuman, I'm preparing to let go of my responsibilities.
I need to hand over the kingdom of Ayodhya to Bharata,
so I was reviewing the list of guests
invited to the Ashvamedha 'yajna'.
Responsibilities and duties are merely excuses.
Lord, the truth is that
you never really slept
after the fateful night.
Hanuman, we aren't the only ones
who stayed awake all this time.
'Lord Janaka!'
Hanuman, I hope Sita's parents will forgive me,
even though
I couldn't forgive myself in all these years.
Lord,
King Janaka is knowledgeable.
I'm sure His Majesty will understand the reason
behind your decision.
Mother Sita
wrote a letter to them to convince them
before leaving.
I know, Hanuman.
They must have been convinced after Sita wrote to them.
However, there's no person in this world
who wouldn't feel grief at never seeing
their grandchild.
[mellow music playing]
[happy music playing]
[joyful music playing]
It was an amazing journey.
It seemed as if Goddess Phalgu cradled us
lovingly in Her arms.
Sons,
we face both difficulties and blessings due to our good karma
on the path of righteousness.
Mother, please hurry up.
King Janaka is waiting for you.
So what?
A devotee must wait for their God.
She is Vandevi after all.
She can't go there so soon.
Right, Mother?
- Shall we go, Mother? - No!
[suspenseful music playing]
What I mean is
that Goddess Phalgu helped us.
She protected us.
So, I want to invoke Her
and thank Her.
You're right.
Fine.
Kush, stay here and guard Mother.
I'll go and bring King Janaka here.
Luv, you need not do that.
What do you mean?
Don't you want us to bring the king here?
You need not stay back.
Both of you may leave.
As it is,
we need not fear asuras anymore.
I want to venerate in private.
As you say.
Hold on.
Will you meet the king of Mithila
in such a poor state?
Please spruce up a little bit.
[joyful music playing]
Look. You both look beautiful now.
Also, please remember
that King Janaka is a fatherly figure to me.
Please treat him with utmost respect.
Did both of you understand?
Luv, did you get her?
Talk to him respectfully.
Mischievous child, it wasn't meant for Luv but you.
I understood.
[melancholic music playing]
Mahadeva, I'm in a dilemma.
Luv and Kush will soon bring
my father here.
If he sees me here
in this condition...
[melancholic vocalising]
No.
Until my sons regain their identity
and respect in Ayodhya,
I can't share my truth with anyone.
Nobody can know it.
[melancholic music playing]
