What is the matter, Sita?
Will you not be happy going back to Ayodhya?
How will I?
Once you go back to Ayodhya, you will be crowned as the king.
You will get busy with
your duties and serving the citizens.
[mellow music playing]
I will not be able to spend time with you.
Like how I can do now.
People will sing in your praise.
But there will be no peace, like how it is in this forest.
Lamps of joy will be lit.
But there will not be any divine light emitting from the fireflies.
Neither will there be a calm river like this,
nor will there be a shower of flowers.
Is this not a loss for me, Lord?
I will promise you, Sita
that my Sita
will neither miss out on me
or my time.
Rama belongs only to Sita.
And he always will.
[theme song playing]
May this moment never end.
I wish I could sit this way
with my head rested on your shoulder for the rest of my life.
Forever and ever.
Beside my Shree Rama.
[theme song playing]
[theme song continues playing]
I am going to make Rama lose his honour.
[tense music playing]
I can kill Rama
in a moment.
But by doing that
he will be relieved of his sorrows.
The Rama whose praises you were singing,
I will snatch his name away from him.
I will drown him in the ocean of shame and sorrow.
Both Rama and
Raghukul's tradition.
I will kill them slowly.
First of all,
I will take away his most prized possession.
He will wander in every corner of the world
trying to find her.
But no one will help him
against Ravana.
He will first die of
despair and guilt.
Then his brother Lakshmana will die.
And then,
his brother Bharata will commit suicide
while waiting for Rama to return.
Without shedding the blood of even one Rakshasa
I will cause bloodshed in Raghukul.
And I will take revenge against the one who destroyed my clan.
After that
I will make down-hearted Sita
the Queen of Lanka,
without any opposition.
[vocalising]
Get ready to complete that task
which was left incomplete several years ago,
in the Svayamwara.
The welcome of Sita.
[tense music playing]
This is immoral, Lankesh.
Please do not do this.
It is the duty of a warrior to fight for the honour
of his sister and kingdom.
Please fulfil your duty.
Take revenge for your insult.
I will pray for you.
But to violate a lady's dignity,
and to plot such a conspiracy
is a very immoral thing to do.
It is the reason for destruction.
This decision of yours
will become the reason for Lanka's downfall.
[tense music playing]
Meghanada will never allow you to execute this unfair plan.
Fair, unfair.
Righteous, unrighteous.
I do not want to learn about them from anyone.
Meghanada will not be a part of this plan.
For this,
the servant who is at my mercy is enough.
And this will be
his test of loyalty.
No.
I will not allow you to commit this sin.
Beware!
I do not seek your permission.
Let alone you,
no one in this universe can challenge Lankesh.
[dramatic music playing]
[chanting sanskrit mantra]
Maricha.
Open your eyes.
You have achieved what you were meditating for.
If not the Lord of Kailasha,
the Lord of Lanka has heard your prayers.
Maricha.
If I have to call you once more
then it will be the last word that you will hear in your life.
Lankesh.
Your Majesty.
What brings you here?
What is the reason that has brought you to a petty servant like me?
For your betterment.
If the servant is of some use to his Lord,
then the servant's life becomes better.
I need you
for my attack.
I will get joy in serving you.
But what does the most powerful
warrior of the universe need from
an insignificant servant like me, Your Majesty?
My self-esteem has been attacked.
My sister's dignity was violated
and she was insulted.
And it was done by a measly human being.
Who is that, who has challenged Dashanana's anger
and invited their death, Your Majesty?
The forest-dwellers
Rama and Lakshmana.
Rama?
What happened, Maricha?
Your silence is telling me
that you are not ready to repay your debt.
Is there any hesitation?
No hesitation, Your Majesty. But doubt.
Despite having a strong son
like Meghanada, what is need of asking
help from an old man like me, Your Majesty?
I need only you
in this plan of mine.
I will lay a trap
in which Rama
and his family
will be killed
without fighting any war.
Rama will wander aimlessly.
And only I
will have right over Sita.
Rama?
Is this the same Rama
who killed my mother Tataka, who was as strong as a thousand elephants?
Please think about it once again, Lankesh.
Otherwise, this war for your self-esteem
- may end up in your death. - Maricha.
Praising Ravana's enemy
in front of him,
is a sign of treason.
There are only
two options in front of you.
Either you help me
in my plan,
or else
get ready to knock on
the doors of Yamaloka.
Which option would you like to choose?
What would you like to hear, Your Majesty?
I am already seeing my death in front of me.
Instead of a dishonourable death
it is better to die like a martyr.
You had sheltered me.
I owe my life to you.
That is why I am not scared of my death.
I worry for your safety.
The one whom you consider insignificant
is not an ordinary man.
He is Rama.
And I am Ravana.
[struggling]
Ravana.
I am Ravana.
Even Time is my slave.
Get ready to leave Maricha.
Revenge and Sita.
Both are waiting for me.
Ravana is your devotee, Mahadeva.
He followed your warning
and kept himself
away from Sita for so many years.
But why is he thinking about executing this disastrous plan?
When someone's destruction is nearby
then their discretion goes away.
Ravana was silent for all these years
because he did not have any suitable excuse.
And now,
after Shurpanakha's action
he has got his opportunity.
A reason to justify his wrong actions.
Though Mandodari, Vibhishana
warned him, but he ignored them.
And he is now moving towards a deed
that will destroy
the entire Rakshasa clan in the future.
[theme song playing]
[vocalising]
[suspenseful music playing]
Where are you going, Sita?
I am going to collect water for cooking the food.
I will come along with you.
No, my Lord. Why do you want to take the trouble?
The stream is nearby.
I will bring it.
Yesterday you said that
after going back to Ayodhya, you will not get to spend time with me.
Let's be together
for as long as we can.
Come.
[dramatic music playing]
[tense music playing]
Give it, Sita.
I know.
Your reason for coming along with me, was not my company.
But it was for my safety.
Ever since the incident with Shurpanakha,
you have become
more careful regarding my safety.
Yes.
I have faith
that Ravana will not make the mistake of coming in front of you.
And even if he does
he will face the same end
as all the asuras faced when they challenged you.
I know
that you will unite Earth and Hell
for the sake of my safety.
The foundation of my strength
is your unbreakable faith in me, Sita.
[vocalising]
[chanting sanskrit mantra]
Is this Rama?
He looks like a healthy boy.
Not a boy, Your Majesty.
Even King Bali
thought that Vamana was a boy.
But please do not make the same mistake.
Thinking that he is not strong, after looking at his age,
would be a sign of foolishness.
One more time.
Just one more time
if you sing in Rama's praise,
then watch
how my slave Yama will come here
to take your soul away.
Keep your attention
only on my plan.
- Please think about it... - Quiet!
A servant's duty
is to obey his Lord's words.
You better do
as you are told.
Go.
Use your miraculous beauty
to attract Sita.
And take the young boy Rama
far away from Sita.
[dramatic music playing]
A golden deer?
Excellent.
Well done Maricha.
Distract her.
So that I
can lead the young boy astray.
[dramatic music playing]
My Lord.
Lakshmana.
Look at the beautiful golden deer.
[dramatic music playing]
My Lord.
I would like to touch it once.
I would like to fill my mind with divine memories
of every living being of this forest.
My Lord.
Will you please bring this deer for me?
[dramatic music playing]
There are no golden deers, Sita.
Are they not?
Then how is this deer here?
And its beauty is so blissful.
Beauty cannot be the reason for happiness every time, Sita.
Sometimes it can be an illusion.
I am afraid
that this golden deer is an illusion.
Do not forget, Sita.
Ravana is finding
a way to take revenge for his sister's insult.
And this illusion could be one of his ways.
We must return to the cottage.
[tense music playing]
Come.
The enemies get scared
just by uttering Shree Rama's name.
And when that Rama is with me,
even Ravana will not have
the audacity of harming me, my Lord.
The one who can steal Lanka,
his brother Kuber's house,
and the one who has the rashness to tame his favoured God, Mahadeva
can do anything, Sita.
[pensive music playing]
All that shines is not gold, Sita.
I hope you remember Shurpanakha's incident.
Yes.
But, my Lord
that does not mean
that behind every beautiful object
we should look for danger.
Think about it for one moment.
What if this deer is not an illusion?
Is it not our duty to
protect this beautiful creature?
I do not want to lose a chance
to touch this beautiful deer.
Losing out on the small joys,
while fulfilling our duties
is also a big mistake. Is it not, my Lord?
And even if this is an illusion
then you are with me.
You are capable of destroying every illusion.
My Lord.
In these 13 years of exile
I did not ask you for anything.
And even then if you do not wish
that I go close to the beautiful creature,
then I accept it.
[vocalising]
Sita.
[flute playing]
Rama cannot see his Sita disappointed.
If your happiness lies in this,
then I will certainly bring the golden deer for you, Sita.
