Kush.
Look. There's a village over there.
Argh!
Luv, there's something fishy here.
I feel scared.
[eerie music plays]
Ugh!
What is this?
[suspenseful music playing]
What could have happened here?
[suspenseful music playing]
Luv, someone is surely keeping watch on us.
Luv!
Kush, this is a quagmire.
[screaming]
[Luv and Kush screaming]
[bell clanging]
[theme song playing]
[theme song concludes]
Lakshmana,
why did you take a vow?
What made you renounce
food, water, and even your family?
What command do you want
Lord Shri Rama to give?
Lakshmana, what's the matter?
Will you please tell me?
[dramatic music playing]
Lakshmana, I'm not staying in Ayodhya
merely as Lord Shri Rama's servant.
In fact, I serve the entire Raghukul dynasty.
Lakshmana, please share your problem
with me as a servant at least.
Hanuman, you gave me a new life
on the battleground.
Please don't make me a sinner
by calling yourself my servant.
Your position is a hundred times greater than mine in Raghukul.
You met Lord Shri Rama in a form
unfamiliar to others.
We're so unlucky.
I don't want to trouble you with my problem.
I simply want to tell you
that Rama needs you
at present.
Lakshmana, what is troubling you so much?
What is troubling my Lord?
Lakshmana, even thinking about it makes me anxious.
We must solve this problem
and overcome the current situation.
Will you be able
to solve this problem?
Lakshmana, I can go to any extent to complete Rama's task.
I have resolved seemingly impossible tasks in the past.
Lakshmana, you know it all.
Lakshmana, please share your problem with me.
Hanuman, Rama had a visitor,
who was carrying Mother Sita's ring.
[suspenseful music playing]
I escorted him to Rama's room,
and Rama ordered that no one should disturb
their meeting.
'Lakshmana,'
'I'm in an important meeting.'
'No one should enter the room until the meeting ends.'
Lakshmana, what happened then? Did anyone disobey my Lord's order?
[dramatic music playing]
[groaning]
Please calm down. Kush, just calm down.
[thunder rumbling]
[screaming]
[thunder cracking]
[chortling]
[shrieking]
I feel delighted.
Luv and Kush, the future of Ayodhya,
are finally entrapped.
It was so easy. Wonderful.
Oh! So, you know us.
Then you must be aware
that we killed countless asuras like you.
Foolish boys, please focus on the present moment.
I trapped you in an instant,
even though you boast of your bravery.
You still don't know that you've been trapped by deceptive powers.
This is why you're not scared, but rebellious.
You are ready to fight.
[earth shuddering]
No one can rescue you except me.
Nobody!
[chortling]
Who are you? Please introduce yourself.
Why not? I'll surely fulfil your last wish before you die.
I want to see both of you scared.
I'm Chandrabahu's son, Ashtabahu.
I'm Sahasramukharavana's grandson, Ashtabahu!
[thunder breaking]
I'll exact revenge for the destruction of my clan
by giving you a painful death.
Your father, Rama,
will die pining for you.
I'll avenge my father's death
by destroying the Raghukul clan.
I'll complete the libation for my ancestors.
[chortling]
What did you say, Lakshmana?
Did he vanish as soon as you entered the room?
Lakshmana, didn't you recognise him?
Didn't you see him before?
[suspenseful music playing]
[sweeping music playing]
Gradually, both of you
will be submerged in the quagmire I created
and will die soon.
I'll enjoy watching
your end.
I never imagined that a rakshasa could be so cowardly.
You brought disrepute to your clan.
You created a quagmire to avoid war.
Kush, that's true. We can defeat him merely by stretching our bowstring.
Really? You think you can
defeat me, Ashtabahu, in war?
Of course!
No doubt about it.
You fools, overconfidence
may lead to your death.
If you're truly strong, try escaping this quagmire.
If you succeed,
I'll challenge you to war.
[dramatic music playing]
Foolish, this stole can't help you come out.
There are no trees here
to which you can tie the stole.
[stole swooshing]
I'll find out what happened after that,
but, Lakshmana,
please tell me the reason behind your vow.
Why did you make this vow?
How can I help you?
The King of Ayodhya had ordered
that anyone disturbing him be sentenced to death!
[thunder breaking]
Then you went inside to save Ayodhya!
Hanuman, Rama was ready
to withdraw his command as my life was at stake.
There's just one solution to this problem.
Please convince him.
You must convince him
to grant me permission to accept the death penalty!
[thunder rumbling]
Lakshmana, what are you saying?
The King of Ayodhya and the city itself are incomplete without you.
How might I convince my Lord to award you a death sentence?
No, Lakshmana. This is impossible.
I know it's difficult,
but it's the right thing to do, Hanuman.
Hanuman, please go.
Otherwise,
I'll keep waiting for Rama even after renouncing everything.
Lakshmana, you've put me in a dilemma.
How could you expect me to do this?
I must meet my Lord.
Please go, Hanuman.
I expect you to return with good news.
You must safeguard
the honour of Ayodhya.
[thunder rumbling]
Ashtabahu, do you now understand
that Siyaram's sons, Luv and Kush,
make the impossible possible?
[motivational song playing]
[arrow swishing]
Boys, don't be so foolish.
Do you really think you can harm me so easily?
Will you be able to kill me?
You missed the target.
We, Luv and Kush, never miss our target.
My arrow wasn't aimed at you.
[joyful music playing]
Kush, please hold the rope.
[joyful music playing]
[motivational song playing]
Well done!
This means you weren't destined to die in the quagmire,
but by my hands.
[thunder breaking]
[melancholic music playing]
Hanuman, how come you're here?
You were meant to be with Luv and Kush.
Lord, that's right.
Didn't I tell you
that I'd come to you whenever you needed me?
Hanuman, why did you stop?
Please come in.
[melancholic music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
Why is Lakshmana here?
[suspenseful music playing]
Lakshmana!
Mother!
Son, why are you sitting here?
Why did you remove your crown and appear so solemn?
Is there a problem?
Lakshmana, please answer me.
What's the matter?
[dramatic music playing]
Hanuman, what brings you
back?
Lord,
I didn't want to return with your task unfinished,
but Kush's dream filled me with fear.
He was concerned about Ayodhya
and you, Lord.
Lord, if my Lord Shri Rama is in trouble,
I, as a devotee, am ready to abandon all other tasks.
Lord,
I've never questioned you
or doubted your decisions,
but may I
ask you one question today?
Today, I feel fortunate
that my dear Hanuman wants to ask me a question.
Please ask, Hanuman.
There's a reason behind all the karmas of my Lord.
He can't make
such a serious decision without a reason.
You can't sentence a person
to death just for disturbing you.
[dramatic music playing]
Lord, who was the person
and what was the reason
behind this grave punishment?
It led Lakshmana to request you
to sentence him to death.
Lord, how could so much have transpired
in my absence?
It troubled the entire Raghukul.
'Kalapurusha, if Hanuman learns of this,'
'I can't imagine how Mahabali Hanuman'
'will react or the extent of havoc he will cause.'
'This is why'
'I sent Hanuman away from Ayodhya, along with Luv and Kush.'
[dramatic music playing]
What if I don't answer your question?
[dramatic music playing]
What if I don't reveal the truth?
Hanuman, I hope you don't mind.
[thunder breaking]
Lord, I'm your servant
and intend to serve Raghukul.
Lord, I don't have the right
to be upset with you.
However, Lord, if you don't want to answer my question,
it's all right.
Lord, your silence is also an answer.
[thunder rumbling]
Hanuman, you're so polite.
You use your power as well as your intelligence
to solve a problem.
I hope you are aware of the promises
that I can't break.
I understand, Lord.
I know it all.
Lord, I just want to tell you
that I can't change
the past.
Nor can I request you
to grant Lakshmana the permission
he is seeking.
If I were in your place,
I too wouldn't have had the courage
to sentence my younger brother to death.
But, Lord, destiny took
an unprecedented turn in my absence,
and now
my brother Lakshmana's life is at stake.
My Lord Shri Rama's action is under scrutiny.
Lord, one incident
cast the shadow of death over Ayodhya.
I vow
not to let anything like that happen again!
[thunder breaking]
I won't let anything put my Raghukul, my family, or my Lord...
Or let my Lord Shri Rama be harmed!
"Hail Hanuman!"
