Hey, lady! Get up!
Our king is coming here to venerate the Goddess.
An ordinary person can't sit in the temple premises at present.
[conch shell playing]
[dramatic music playing]
The Goddess doesn't differentiate between ordinary
and the powerful ones.
All devotees are equal to Her.
Everyone has the right to do 'puja'.
My 'puja' isn't over yet.
I'll leave
only after I'm done with my 'puja'.
Really?
You dared to counter me
even though you're an ordinary woman!
[conch shell playing]
[Sanskrit mantra chanting]
I'm not ordinary
as I'm a devotee of Goddess Tripura Sundari.
A devotee can never be
an ordinary person.
[conch shell playing]
Don't you know who I'm talking about?
Our king,
Shri Dhanyamali will come here to do the 'puja'.
Your punishment is death
for insulting our king!
Goddess Tripura Sundari takes care of the entire world.
She isn't owned by a kingdom.
[suspenseful music playing]
This temple belongs to my Mother,
and I came here to pray with Her permission.
[conch shell playing]
My 'puja' will be over
before your king arrives.
Until then this temple
belongs to my Mother.
Nobody has the right
to throw a daughter out of her mother's temple
against her wish!
[dramatic music playing]
[conch shell playing]
Our king has been insulted.
Today this woman humiliated you.
It will be repeated by our society soon.
We must stop both the 'puja'
and her insolence.
Soldiers, please stop this 'puja'.
[adventurous music playing]

[melancholic music playing]
Where is Lakshmana?
He went out in search of those disciples at dawn.
But he spoke to the people in the ashram.
They asked him to wait until sunset.
Actually, a spy informed him
that they spotted the disciples in the east last night.
As soon as the prince heard this, he went out.
O, Lord!
I hope Lakshmana doesn't lose his judgment because of anger.
I hope he doesn't tarnish Rama's decorum.
[horses neighing]
It's time to teach those disciples some decorum!
Hanuman, we feel distressed
after holding you captive.
We are helpless against destiny.
'Asmasu pratyekah'
'tasya niyateh adhipatih.'
All of us are masters
of our destinies.
And my master
is Lord Shri Rama.
I mean, he chose my destiny.
So, I will accept it
as an offering.
Children, you're going to do something
even I couldn't do.
Keep moving forward, children.
We'll take your leave.
We will head back to the ashram,
as our mother must be waiting for us.
What would you like to eat?
Forget about my food,
and move towards your goal.
Look, we are holding you captive,
so we are responsible for your well-being.
What about the horse? Will you leave it here?
We won't leave together. Only one of us will leave at a time.
Please tell us what you want to eat.
Oh, I understand.
I like many food items.
For instance, 'kheer', 'malpua',
yoghurt, butter, bananas, and 'laddus'.
That's enough.
That's enough for today.
You may continue the list tomorrow.
- What is it? - Is somebody approaching us?
Lakshmana!
[adventurous music playing]
[horses neighing]
It seems our mother will have to wait a little longer.
You must also wait.
We'll bring your food
only after confronting the prince.
[dramatic music playing]
[drawing sword from the scabbard]
[dramatic music playing]
[tense music plays]
Please stop. A king shouldn't use force on a devotee.
Let us try to convince her first.
We'll bring her out of the temple.
[suspenseful music playing]
Devi, please complete your 'puja' later.
Please leave as of now.
The soldiers are behaving abnormally today, and have turned violent.
[dramatic music playing]
You wouldn't want
an untoward event to occur inside the temple. Mother, let's leave.
- Please give us a moment. - Move aside!
[screaming]
[dramatic music playing]
Goddess, I apologise.
[Sanskrit mantra chanting]
[Sanskrit mantra chanting continues]
[song playing]
[song continues playing]
[song playing]
[horses neighing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[adventurous music playing]
Hanuman, how could you be held captive?
These two boys achieved a feat
that no one in the three lokas could accomplish.
They defeated you and held you captive.
How is it possible, Hanuman?
They have tied me in a bond
that nobody can break, let alone me.
I'm tied by the bond of Sitaram.
How do I break free from that bondage?
Neither they won nor did I lose.
You may say that Sitaram won.
Hanuman, you're a devotee.
This is why these two boys succeeded in fooling you.
But I'm the commander of Ayodhya!
I give them my final warning
as a commander!
Hand the horse over to me,
and free Hanuman!
Lakshmana, don't be repetitive.
Can't you see that Hanuman had a similar request before you came?
We won't give you the horse!
We might agree but you must fulfil a condition.
[dramatic music playing]
What condition?
You took Mother Sita away from Shri Rama! Right?
[thunder rumbling]
You were responsible
for snatching the comforts of the palace from her
and leaving her stranded in the jungle.
So, it's your responsibility
to find Mother Sita and reunite her with Shri Rama!
[dramatic music playing]
Complete this task,
and take this horse and Hanuman with you!
[dramatic music playing]
Will you do this task?
Are you a king?
Huh! She can't even recognise our king.
She is unaware of how great our king truly is.
A king
addresses the problems of his subjects.
He shouldn't torture them.
A king must serve the subjects.
A king who considers himself the master of his subjects
loses the right to be called a king.
[dramatic music playing]
A king is responsible for his subjects,
not the forest dwellers!
Your dress and language
indicate you aren't my subject.
You dared to break the rule of our kingdom
even though you aren't a citizen!
By questioning a king, you've crossed your limits as a woman.
Soldiers,
arrest her!
Stop!
[intense music plays]
So, you captured the horse
to reunite Shri Rama and Mother Sita!
Yes. We don't enjoy holding animals and forest dwellers captive.
We captured the horse
to bring Mother Sita before the world.
Shri Rama must answer our question,
"Why did he renounce Mother Sita?"
Shri Rama, who we venerated.
Shri Rama, whose honour meant the most to us.
We imbibed his righteousness like the vedas.
We sang Rama's story,
thinking that he was virtuous.
We want to hear from Shri Rama
that Devi Sita lived with him in the jungle for 14 years,
refused to accept Ravana's opulence,
and underwent 'agnipariksha'
to prove her chastity.
[thunder cracking]
Why did he reject Devi Sita, the epitome of love and commitment?
- Why did he renounce her? - Enough!
Stop it! Stop your insolence right away!
Oh!
So, you consider our questions insolence.
When Queen Kaikeyi sent Shri Rama into exile,
didn't you question her?
When King Sugriva was busy in pleasure and enjoyment,
didn't you wield a bow against him?
Didn't you threaten the vanaras?
Wasn't that insolence?
I did those things for my brother!
However, who are you two to question Shri Rama?
How are you two related to Shri Rama and Devi Sita
that compelled you to commit the sin of capturing the horse?
[dramatic music playing]
On one hand, there is the world's ruler, Shri Rama,
who talks about equal rights for women,
and on the other hand, there is you,
who serves under Shri Rama
but wish to hold a woman captive
simply because she questioned your injustice.
Why does a woman's question
hurt a man's ego?
Why do men still consider women lowly?
Please remember
that no kingdom or country can progress
by silencing a woman
or by overpowering her.
So, I, a woman, politely request you
to change your thinking.
Quiet!
You crossed the line.
Now, you won't be imprisoned.
You'll be liberated from your life!
[conch shell playing]
My 'puja' isn't completed yet.
It's impossible to take me
out of the temple premises until my 'puja' is complete.
Let's see who saves you!
My righteousness, my good karma,
and my devotion will save me!
A person
full of devotion, righteousness, and good karma
doesn't need protection.
[dramatic music playing]
- We're related to them! - We're related to them!
- Sita and Rama are our parents! - Sita and Rama are our parents!
[thunder rumbling]
Are they your parents?
Did you forget when King Rama said
that Queen Sita is a mother to the subjects?
And that we can address her as "Mother Sita".
'A queen is like a mother to the entire country.'
'You may address Queen Sita as "Mother".'
Every child has the right
to reunite their parents.
They have the right to clear their confusion.
It can't be considered a crime.
Please tell us.
How are we wrong?
Did we commit a crime?
[melancholic music playing]
If you still consider us guilty,
please pick up your bow
and fulfil your karma.
You can't escape punishment
by merely talking about righteousness!
I'll give you one last chance because you want to reunite
my brother and sister-in-law.
We gave you a chance
to correct your mistake.
But now it seems...
It's time to wield weapons because our words failed.
Lakshmana, their means could be wrong,
but not their goal.
Please listen to me
and surrender.
We shouldn't fight with these immature kids.
Sometimes, we win by surrendering and not by fighting.
Hanuman, I'll be rude to you
but please don't feel bad.
[mellow music playing]
Hanuman, you're our captive,
and you can't speak without permission.
Please don't mistake us or label us immature again.
We are warriors.
We fight for our goal, and not for enjoyment.
[inspirational song playing]
[horses neighing]
[bells clanging]
Go and finish her!
Set an example of a woman's limitations!
