Our children and husbands must be hungry.
Although you convinced me to come here,
I'm feeling scared now.
If the men get angry,
we'll be the ones bearing the brunt.
What if my husband
renounces me like you?
Where will I go?
I understand your predicament,
but just think about it.
If we don't fight
for our rights and honour, who else will?
Who are we fighting against, by the way?
You don't know my husband.
He is a short-tempered person.
You, Luv, and Kush incited me
to come here,
but changing the mindset of a man like him
is impossible.
Mother, please don't think like that.
You're now under Shri Rama's refuge.
Mother, we are in Ayodhya.
Nothing can go wrong here.
One blow of Hanuman's mace
will straighten everyone out.
No, Pushkal.
We can't use force.
We promised Shri Rama
that we'll change the mindset of men.
We'll change their psyche.
However, instead of using force,
we'll be considerate.
You're right, my friend.
We should leave.
No, my friend.
Please stop and try to understand.
Kush, even if one woman leaves,
our efforts will fail.
Our plan will be ruined.
All the women will leave one by one.
My friends, please stop. This is the time to fight.
Please don't succumb to your emotions.
No, we don't want to be a part of your plans.
- Let's go. - Please don't.
Please try to understand.
[dramatic music playing]
You can't support each other without staying united.
This is the time to stand united.
However, all of you are abandoning other women.
[dramatic music playing]
Let them leave.
It's their life and their struggle.
They must choose the life they want
and decide whether they want to fight!
[melancholic music playing]
Shri Rama has given us the opportunity
to change the mindset of men.
So, we'll use our time to change the mindset of men,
rather than imposing our beliefs on these women.
If we don't set them free,
we will be acting like those men.
[dramatic music playing]
[bell clanging]
[theme song playing]
Hanuman seems to be right.
Most probably they left willingly.
Dark powers can't dare
to do such a thing in Shri Rama's presence.
If it's true,
nobody will be able to save my wife from my ire.
[ominous vocalising]
We must put those women in their place.
You're right!
[tense music plays]
[whispering]
Come on! Let's move ahead.
[dramatic music playing]
Let me now incite the second group of men.
Did you check over there?
[sweeping music playing]
Sushila!
Kamla!
Geeta!
Where have you been since morning?
How dare you step out of the house without permission?
Do all of you want to rebel?
How dare you go against your husband's command?
How dare you remove your veil
and leave the house?
[dramatic music playing]
Let's punish them for rebelling against us.
Let's teach them a lesson for going against their husbands.
We made a blunder.
O, Lord, please help us!
Even God can't save you today.
- Please save us! - Save us!
- Please save us! - We won't spare you.
- Hit them! - Come on!
- Please save us! - Save us!
Please save us!
[dramatic music playing]
[epic music plays]
Please calm down. Just calm down.
[whispering]
[intriguing music plays]
Now I understand your plot.
Both of you incited them, right?
Uh-uh.
Please don't give us all the credit.
Although it was our plan,
your wives made the final decision.
Your wives aren't dumb.
They deliberated
before agreeing to our plan.
You are misleading our wives.
You'll surely be punished for your unruly behaviour.
[dramatic music playing]
The disciple isn't wrong.
Our women deserve to be respected.
We don't want to be lectured by you.
You've all given your wives too much freedom.
[dramatic music playing]
We just reminded women about their rights
and enlightened them about the importance of respect.
How were we wrong in doing that?
Did all of you ever treat us like normal humans?
You treated us like servants working in the fields.
Sometimes we are treated like launderers,
other times like cooks,
and at other times like nannies.
But still, we, women, always gave you love.
We took care of your family.
If we demand respect,
how are we wrong?
Stay quiet!
[whispering]
It's going to be fun now.
The other night, you spent the night with a boatman
and made an excuse!
And today, you're creating this scene
to disrespect me!
How can I disrespect others while I'm struggling
to be respected?
Your momentary rage
snatched Queen Sita's family from her.
She was compelled to go into exile.
You threw me out of the house,
but did you ever try to find out the truth?
We need to use force now.
No! Let them fight their own battle.
If they don't defend their self-respect,
they won't be respected even in the future.
These women will determine the scale of this struggle.
Stupid boy.
They feel they can escape King Sahasramukharavana's deception.
His Majesty sowed the seeds of slander
and inequality in past years,
and today he will reap the reward.
[dramatic music playing]
You crossed the line today!
You'll surely be punished for your insolence.
Come on!
[dramatic music playing]
Kush, why are we silently watching their mistreatment?
Today, we aren't protectors,
but simply guides.
Your Majesty, our kingdom is in total chaos.
Men and women are at loggerheads with each other.
Men are rubbishing women's demands.
May I give my opinion, Your Majesty?
Sure.
Your Majesty, this struggle might bring imbalance in our society.
What is the need to change age-old traditions?
Everything was fine before Luv and Kush came.
Only Luv and Kush are responsible
for the current struggle between men and women.
They turned women against the husbands they once worshipped.
[tense music plays]
Your Majesty, in our society, husbands are treated like gods.
If we try to change this tradition,
it will adversely affect our society.
We agree with him, Your Majesty.
Women must respect men.
They should venerate men.
It seems you have lost respect for the court,
just as you disrespect women!
[dramatic music playing]
Lakshmana, please calm down.
A tradition that enhances society's knowledge
and improves its lifestyle
is the best tradition for society.
We must change a tradition
that harms women and disrespects them,
even though they make up half of the population
and are the very foundation of the family.
A society that treats women like servants
can't be called a just kingdom.
The definition of a just kingdom
is a society where men and women
live happy and successful lives together.
[dramatic music playing]
Treating a woman like a servant
is against our culture.
Have we forgotten
that as soon as we're born,
a woman is the first person to comfort us?
If a woman doesn't protect
her children with motherly love
or feed them,
no man in the world would survive.
I supported Luv and Kush
because their mindset has improved.
Today, we are at a stage
that marks a new beginning for our society.
Men and women will work as equals,
and move the world forward with their strength.
I completely trust both of them.
I'll give them enough time
since I promised them.
[dramatic music playing]
How long will they stay quiet?
How long will they endure injustice?
Why don't they complain?
[dramatic music playing]
Let there be more injustice
and more cruelty.
- O, Narayana! - O, Narayana!
- Please save us! - Please save us!
- Let go of us. - Please, let go of us.
- Let go of us. - Come on.
Hail Shri Rama!
Insolent!
I'll teach you a lesson.
Stop!
[suspenseful music playing]
- [conch shell playing] - [thudding]
[intriguing music plays]
[intense music plays]
Your Majesty, the unthinkable has happened.
Women have declared war against men.
[dramatic music playing]
We have been disrespected our entire lives.
I tolerated atrocities
because my mother taught me
that a husband is akin to God.
But today,
I will no longer tolerate it, as my daughter-in-law
is the one at the receiving end.
[dramatic music playing]
It was important for them to change their mindsets.
Now that they are ready to defend their honour,
we'll support them.
[intense music plays]
Beware!
We were silent till now
because these women were silent.
But now that they are ready to defend their honour,
we'll support them.
No one can dare to hit them.
We are the disciples of Lord Valmiki,
and the devotees of Lord Shri Rama and Devi Sita!
Nobody can harass these women in our presence!
[dramatic music playing]
- We are with them! - We are with them!
- What happened afterwards? - And then...
"Hail valorous Hanuman."
Hanuman, look. Luv and Kush have incited the women in Ayodhya.
Oh! Aren't the women who take care of the family mature enough?
Are they fools who can be easily incited?
I overheard the entire conversation.
Do all of you have a solution to this problem?
[dramatic music playing]
We must execute the plan
for which we have our father's permission.
'If the people of Ayodhya are convinced within a day,'
'we'll continue using your idea.'
I have an idea.
If you think that women are only fit
to cook food, take care of children,
and are inferior
or lesser beings than you,
that's your opinion.
Just one day...
Please spend one day without your wives.
[thrilling music playing]
It's the first 'pahar' of the day.
The sun will set after four 'pahars'.
By then, we'll find out
whether women deserve your respect or not.
[dramatic music playing]
Luv and Kush are right.
Did men accept this challenge?
[suspenseful music playing]
Will you accept this challenge?
- Yes, we accept it! - Yes, we accept it!
Your Majesty, you're smiling even at this difficult moment.
Maybe you don't understand the seriousness of this issue.
Men are stubborn beings.
If their ego is at stake,
they use every trick in the book
to prove their point.
If these men renounce their wives,
Ayodhya will be blamed for the suffering
of all those women.
[dramatic music playing]
Minister Sumantra!
