We give you a final warning!
Please choose. Will you surrender or die?
We'll decide that soon.
Son!
- Son! Let go! - No!
- My son! - I won't give him!
Please go to that side. Hurry up!
No! I won't give him. Move away!
- I won't give him! No! - Let go of my son.
[dramatic music playing]
Beware!
Lakshmana, did you hear me? I want to meet Rama, the king of Ayodhya!
Please open the door, Prince!
Maharishi, please forgive me,
but I can't let you go inside.
Don't you know who you're stopping?
Have you forgotten that the three lokas
shudder even at the mere thought of my anger, I, Sage Durvasa?
Even the powerful deities lost their power when they angered me!
And you being a lowly human,
dared to insult me!
The entire world bows down to me, Sage Durvasa,
yet you, the younger brother
of the king of a minuscule kingdom,
dared to infuriate me!
Forgive me, sage.
Please don't lecture me about the intensity of fury.
You aren't the only one who can get angry.
[thunder breaking]
Right now,
you're standing in the capital of the Kosala kingdom, sacred Ayodhya!
This is the place where warriors never hesitated to lay down
their lives for countless sages and ascetics.
You called Ayodhya lowly, when in fact,
it is the pride of this earth.
You seem to be too proud of your Ayodhya!
I understand. Listen up!
O, great prince of the mighty Ayodhya,
if I'm not allowed to meet Rama today,
I will reduce the entire Ayodhya
to ashes with the power of my brilliance!
- [thunder rumbling] - [volcano erupting]
[theme song playing]
[theme song concludes]
This is the power of unity.
When righteous people unite,
evil powers are compelled to surrender.
Please remember that no matter how big a problem is,
if every person stands up against it
and society confronts it like a family,
it can be solved.
Unless you become completely fearless,
these asuras will keep taking advantage of you.
These asuras who snatched our children and families from us,
should be immolated!
They separated my wife, a mother, from her son!
Oh! Did you forget what you did in the market?
'Please buy me!'
'I just want to take my son along.'
'No. If he comes along, you'll focus on him,'
'instead of working.'
'I will take only you with me.'
No matter the circumstances,
we should never separate
a child from their mother.
That's a sin.
Lord, please forgive me.
Now I understand the truth.
Despite being princes,
you both sold yourselves
and agreed to be the slaves of a lowly moneylender like me.
You did it to uphold your tradition
and righteousness.
Now I understand
that righteousness helps society function.
Righteousness protects the person
who has the courage to uphold it.
That's right.
Similarly, King Harishchandra was protected by righteousness
because he upheld it and fulfilled his promise.
Sage Vishvamitra made King Harishchandra
a servant to an untouchable.
The untouchable asked him
to assist him at the crematorium.
'He was asked to demand a fee'
'for performing the last rites of a dead body.'
'He couldn't burn a dead body without getting paid for it.'
'And then...'
'Lord!'
'Our son!'
'Shaivya!'
'He was bitten by a snake.'
[crying]
'Son!'
[tense music plays]
'Devi,'
'you must pay a fee for performing his last rites!'
'What?'
'He is the son of King Harishchandra.'
'Right now, I'm not his father, but a servant,'
'and I can't let you perform the last rites without a fee.'
'You must pay a fee, Devi!'
[thunder breaking]
[ethereal music playing]
'King Harishchandra,'
'we tested you to the extreme,'
'and you have passed all our tests.'
'You upheld righteousness'
'and proved'
'that you're the best king in the world!'
[joyful music playing]
'Mother.'
[joyful music playing]
King Harishchandra's unwavering commitment to righteousness
made him the greatest king in the world.
Sage Vishvamitra returned his kingdom to him,
and even the deities bowed down to his righteousness.
'King Harishchandra, welcome to Swarga.'
'I must say that your kingdom'
'is the epitome of justice and righteousness,'
'and therefore, it should exist'
'not only on the earth but also in Swarga.'
'Please come.'
'My Swarga is blessed to have you here.'
'No, Lord Indra.'
'My subjects suffered with me.'
'I can't come here, leaving them behind.'
'I understand.'
'In that case, you may bring your subjects'
'to Swarga with you for a day.'
This story teaches us
that we must deliberate before making a promise.
Once we make a promise,
we must fulfil it at any cost.
We, two brothers, have followed in the footsteps of King Harishchandra,
and we can now help people accomplish a righteous task.
O, Princes, if it weren't for you,
we would have abandoned our ancestral property
and relocated in utter humiliation.
I request both of you
on behalf of my village
to accept the village throne.
- Yes, you're our king. - Yes, you're our king.
Yes! You're our king.
You may reduce me to ashes,
but please don't talk like that about my motherland.
Ayodhya didn't infuriate you. Then why should it bear the brunt?
Please calm down and think sensibly.
Why would I insult my guest?
I'm simply following my royal duty.
I'm following the order of my king, who is dearer to me than my life.
If you truly wish to punish someone,
then burn me down,
but let me make it clear that you won't be able to cross
my ashes, let alone enter the room
against my brother's order!
[thunder rumbling]
I get it!
If you want Ayodhya to be destroyed, so be it!
Please be ready to see your Ayodhya afire!
- [thunder cracking] - [volcano erupting]
[thunder rumbling]
[triumphant song plays]
[triumphant song continues plays]
- Hail King Luv! - All hail!
Your journey has turned into a victory.
Both of you killed the Mlecchas and made the impossible possible.
You both are great.
The entire country of India, let alone the Kosala kingdom,
is fortunate to have princes
who made the impossible possible.
Henceforth, this place will be known as Lavpuri
in honour of Prince Luv's bravery!
- Hail Luv, the ruler of Lavpuri! - All hail!
[thunder cracking]
I, Durvasa, the son of Atri,
use all my austerities and penance...
Please stop! Please calm down!
Why are you punishing Ayodhya for my fault?
Sage, please calm down and be patient.
[thunder rumbling]
I'm ready to follow your order.
Please calm down.
Please don't reduce Ayodhya to ashes in anger.
[conch shell playing]
[thunder breaking]
Following Rama's order
is as important as protecting Ayodhya.
Sage, I apologise.
Please let go of your anger.
Please stay put here.
I'll go and bring Rama here.
[Chaupai playing]
[Chaupai continues playing]
[thunder rumbling]
We promise you
that henceforth, we won't enslave anyone.
If we find anyone committing this sin,
selling a human
or separating a mother from her child,
we will all speak out against it.
Wonderful.
All of you showered us with love,
accepted us, and honoured us.
I want to thank you a million times for that.
Although we don't wish to leave this place,
we must move forward to complete our journey.
You and your wife must rule my kingdom
until I return.
Henceforth, I entrust you with the responsibility
of Lavpuri for a few days.
- Hail King Luv! - All hail!
[whooshing]
You...
Lakshmana, what have you done?
'Anyone who goes against my orders'
'will be sentenced to death!'
[dramatic music playing]
"Om!"
Mahadeva,
earlier, he ordered his beloved wife
to undergo 'agnipariksha'.
How will he now
sentence his younger brother to death?
Goddess,
my Shri Rama's life
teaches the world
how to conduct oneself
in adverse circumstances.
We must never forsake righteousness,
even in the most difficult times.
Goddess, we must now witness my Shri Rama
overcome these difficulties.
Rama, who was he and why did he come...
Lakshmana, why did you come inside in the first place? Why, Lakshmana?
Why did you invite a death sentence
by going against my command?
Your Majesty,
I apologise for coming here and disobeying your order.
But if I hadn't come inside,
Sage Durvasa
would have reduced the entire Ayodhya to ashes.
Your Majesty,
I was compelled to come inside
to save my kingdom and my motherland.
But, Rama, you still haven't told me
who he was or why he came here.
Lakshmana, forget about it.
Please go and respectfully bring Sage Durvasa inside.
'Anyone who goes against my orders will be sentenced to death!'
