It's a Snake!
Snake... No... No...
What? Such a mammoth snake!
Did you fall here?
And from which direction did the snake come?
It came from this way.
All of you, listen to me carefully.
Things have got out of hand.
Someone has used their magical powers
and kidnapped the horse of Ashvamedha Yajna.
The intention behind this misdeed
is to become Lord Shri Rama's enemy
or something else?
I will find out the reason.
But, now,
your lives also could be in danger.
[tense music playing]
All of you go back to the hermitage.
I will handle the horse and the Ashvamedha Yajna.
Somkaran, you take assistant guru and go to the village.
And yes, make sure no one is worried after seeing his condition.
Rishi Kumaras, I think both of you should go back too.
A dangerous monstrous power is playing this game.
We may be young lads,
but we are not cowards. No matter how grave the danger is
we are capable of facing every challenge.
This is our problem, Hanuman.
That monstrous power stole Ashvamedha's horse
and challenged not Shri Rama but Luv and Kush.
Because that horse was under our care.
That's why, we beg you,
- do not obstruct our path of duty. - Do not obstruct our path of duty.
I can understand your emotions.
But my duty is to protect that horse.
Before any untoward incident happens,
I have to find that horse.
[dramatic music playing]
We've sent our spies in all directions, Prince Bharata.
As soon as they meet Hanuman, they will ask him to meet you.
[tense music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
- Beware! - Beware!
[dramatic music playing]
[thunder rumbling]
[bow string snapping]
[theme song playing]
[dramatic music playing]
What is this, my Lord?
How can you allow destiny to take such an inauspicious turn?
Hanuman is a part of you, and Luv and Kush
are parts of Shri Rama.
And in turn Lord Narayana's.
You worship each other.
If there is a war between parts of your being,
then it would lead to disaster.
This is impossible, Lord Mahadeva.
The point where this war has reached,
nothing is impossible.
All this is a game of relationships.
On the one hand, the most dignified Shri Rama
is bound to his throne,
and on the other hand, Mother Sita,
is bound by her promise.
Pavana Suta Hanuman is bound by his duty.
Luv and Kush...
Luv, Kush, knowingly or unknowingly
are bound by
their duty of uniting their mother and father.
The war between duty and virtue,
neither does it see relationships
nor does it see the relationship between God and his devotee.
This is Ramayana, Goddess.
Where virtue and duty
are above all relationships.
This is that great epic,
that will teach mankind
the meaning of ethical dilemma
and a way to get out of it.
[vocalisation]
Do you both intend to fight?
Our intention is only to request you
not to come in the way of our path of duty, Hanuman.
Please believe us. We will find your horse
and return it too.
But, to complete the Yajna,
Shri Rama will have to change his decision.
He will have to bring back Mother Sita.
[theme song playing]
'Luv and Kush are my sons.'
What kind of an ethical dilemma is this?
How can I attack Lord Shri Rama
and Mother Sita's children?
They want to bring Mother Sita and Lord Rama together.
Did you say something?
Tell us your decision, Hanuman.
What can I tell you?
Both the Sun and the Moon want to spread light.
But neither does the Sun come in the Moon's path,
nor does the Moon cut the Sun's path.
What do you mean?
I mean, please don't turn the ethical dilemma
into a war of righteousness.
Please do your duty.
I will do mine.
[tense music playing]
Please wait, Hanuman.
Don't force us to attack you.
- Hanuman... - Hanuman.
Hanuman.
He is refusing to stop.
What shall we do now?
How do we stop him?
Rama's devotee has set out to fulfil his objective.
He will not stop if we ask him to.
Looks like we have to use our arrows on him.
But how can we attack the one who has helped us, Luv?
How will we fight him?
The war has to take place.
If he manages to save the horse from the monstrous power,
the horse will be under his control, isn't it?
And if that happens,
then to get the horse back again,
we have to fight Hanuman once again.
You have made a good suggestion, Luv.
Anyway, our objective
is to bring Shri Rama and Mother Sita together
and question them.
But how can there be an Ashvamedha Yajna without Mother Sita?
And Shri Rama has taught us
that we must not fear the path of virtue and fulfil our duty.
In order to fulfil our objective,
if one devotee of Rama has to attack another devotee of Rama,
then so be it.
[song playing]
[adventurous music playing]
- Hanuman. - Hanuman.
They have tied Hanuman with a snake loop.
We have to kill this snake, Kush.
Do not fear, Hanuman, we will...
Hey, why are you asking us to stop
instead of calling us?
[Hanuman chalisa playing]
The snake's mouth in one hand
and his tail in the other.
I can't understand if he's tied by the snake
or if the snake is tied by him.
Hail Shri Rama!
[Hanuman chaupai playing]
The one who helped us so much,
how can we fight with him?
You evil monster. Your sins have been put to an end.
Tell me, where is the horse
from Ashvamedha Yajna?
And what did you do to it?
Answer me.
Prince.
Both the Rishi Kumaras have tied Hanuman in a snake loop.
I don't know how a brave, courageous warrior got caught by them.
I'm sure the two Rishi Kumaras are extraordinary.
Did you see the result of talking, Bharata?
It is idiocy to doubt Hanuman's valour.
I'm sure it's something else. Please calm down, Lakshmana.
Calm down? How can I calm down, Bharata?
The who can't be defeated by the combined powers of hell and heaven,
is bound in a snake loop
by two ordinary boys. Does it sound like a simple and small problem?
Please remove the veil of mercy from your eyes, at least now.
I'm telling you both of them are not ordinary, but an illusionary power.
And now they are becoming a problem for us.
Bharata, I'm worried,
that we are inviting a problem for Ayodhya,
for which there is no solution at all.
Lakshmana, you think that by having anger in the mind
and keeping this weapon in your hand, you will get your solution?
And you are still under the illusion
that talking will help find a solution to the problem.
No, Bharata. No.
Right now we have to do what is most important to do.
Take me to Hanuman.
[dramatic music playing]
[wind howling]
Be careful.
[Hanuman hymn playing]
Are you both okay?
- Yes. - No.
We are caught under the weight of your favours.
What was the need to save us once again?
By doing so many favours
do you want to save yourself from our attack?
[sinister music playing]
Why are you standing here
and staring at the sun, Your Majesty?
I'm waiting, Banasura,
for these
three hours to pass.
What will happen after that?
The greatest Yajna in the entire world
will be stopped.
Then society that is bound by
the thread named Rama,
that delicate thread will be destroyed.
Rama Rajya will be destroyed.
Luv and Kush's dreams will be shattered.
And this horse from
the Ashvamedha Yajna will be destroyed.
When it is time for the Sun
to set, even the dream of Rama Rajya
will set.
- What happened? - Such a small task
could be done by me too, Your Majesty.
Why did you send that snake instead of me?
I too had found the horse.
You could not even reach the horse.
You had given up on the way itself.
But that snake is my loyal servant.
He is ready to give up his life
for me, with a smile.
What is the use of wasting time now?
Why don't we kill that horse right away?
Did Rama kill Ravana,
so easily?
That Rama
tortured my brother every single day.
He tortured his son
and the entire Rakshasa clan.
He did not spare
my sons either.
I will torture him the same way.
Once the time is right,
the horse will die here, and on the other side,
my magical snake
will kill Hanuman.
Luv and Kush will be blamed for it.
And the crime will be so severe
that even Rama will be compelled
to kill
his own sons
with his hands.
The attack will be such, that the one who strikes, cries,
and the one who bears it cries too.
[sinister music playing]
Hey, that snake
- has disappeared. - It looks like a magical snake.
The illusion and the magician will soon be finished.
There has been a sudden turn of events in the course of nature.
The river is also experiencing high tides.
It's good that we have wood to burn.
[pensive music playing]
Luv, Kush.
[joyous music playing]
Vandevi? Vandevi is coming here.
If she asks us about Luv and Kush, what will we tell her?
Why will Vandevi ask us anything?
Brother, did she not send you
to get information about her sons?
- Oh, yes. - She has a mother's heart.
She will get restless as soon as she finds out the truth.
We are...
- Greetings, Vandevi. - Greetings, Vandevi.
Somkaran, where are Luv and Kush?
Did they not come with you?
That... Vandevi... Both of them...
- They are not with us. - They are not with you?
