King of vanaras, you know why we have come here
but you still didn't tell us your problem.
Why are you hiding away in this mountain?
Who snatched your kingdom
and your wife from you?
I never lusted after the kingdom.
Nor did I hope for it.
I was happy
to be under my brother, Kishkindha's king Vali's rule,
along with my wife, Ruma.
I was living happily.
One day, a rakshasa named Mayavi
challenged Vali to a war.
Vali felt insulted by his challenge.
Vali was granted a boon
that his competitor in a war would lose half of his strength to Vali.
However, the war between Mayavi and Vali left me powerless.
It changed my entire life.
Vali!
Where are you hiding, coward?
Come and fight with me!
I challenge you to a war!
Today, I'll destroy your strength!
Come out!
[motivational music playing]
It seems you came to my doorstep to die.
That's the reason you're challenging me to a war.
Coward, why are you running away?
Stop!
[demon chortling]
Vali, please wait a minute.
Just think about it.
First, Mayavi came to Kishkindha and challenged you.
Then he went inside the cave to hide.
I'm sure he is deceptive.
This cave belongs to the deceptive rakshasa.
Please don't go inside.
What's the matter?
Don't you trust your brother's strength?
Or your valour has taken a beating!
I'm Vali!
Vali!
I'm fearless.
But, Vali,
the whole world knows this.
Then why do you need to go inside the cave?
So that Kishkindha is reminded
that their king is still capable of protecting them.
If I return without putting up a fight,
my subjects would think, "Vali is an absconder."
I won't leave.
Please wait for me.
I'll finish him off and return.
- But, Vali... - Sugriva, it's my final decision.
Listen to me,
if milk streams out of the cave,
it means Mayavi is dead
because the colour of Mayavi's blood is white.
In case you see blood flowing out,
you must know
that I, Vali, died.
- Vali... - Sugriva, a throne is full of challenges.
We must resort to bloodshed to be in power.
Sometimes the enemy's blood is shed and at other times, we must bleed.
If blood flows out and I don't come back,
seal this cave
and take over Kishkindha's rule.
So that Mayavi
doesn't pose a threat again.
[adventurous music playing]
'Hours became days'
'and days soon turned into weeks.'
'And weeks turned into months.'
'I sat outside the cave for a year hoping for his return.'
'However, Mayavi and Vali'
'were nowhere to be seen.'
'One day, I saw blood flowing out of the cave.'
[dramatic music playing]
Vali!
[dramatic music playing]
Vali! [screaming]
'The stream of blood'
'convinced me'
'that my brother was dead.'
'I controlled my emotions'
'and went to Kishkindha to take over the responsibilities.'
[dramatic music playing]
'To save my kingdom from Mayavi's wrath,'
'I sealed the cave with a boulder.'
'Then I headed back'
'to deliver the sad news to Vali's wife, Tara, and his son, Angada.'
[dramatic music playing]
[theme song playing]
[theme song continues playing]
[theme song playing]
[theme song continues playing]
I assumed that my brother was dead
and started fulfilling my obligations.
I accepted his kingdom, Kishkindha,
his wife, Tara,
and his son, Angada.
However, one day
things took a turn for the worse.
'Vali came out of the cave.'
'The pool of blood wasn't Vali's.'
'It was Mayavi's illusion.'
'Vali misunderstood me and blamed me for sealing him inside the cave.'
'He banished me as a punishment'
'and held my wife captive.'
'From today onwards, you are my wife!'
[dramatic music playing]
I'm alive today
because of Hanuman's help
and Sage Matanga's curse.
It has prevented Vali from coming here.
He was cursed that in case he stepped on the Rishyamukh Mountain,
his head would blow into 100 pieces.
However, my life is painful.
I'm compelled to lead my life
pining for my wife and enduring grief.
[sweeping music playing]
Your brother deserves punishment for treating you
and your wife unfairly.
The punishment is death!
[dramatic music playing]
Your elder brother
is akin to your wife's father.
Vali's action disgraced a woman's dignity.
Such an immoral person isn't fit to be alive.
Rama, you're right.
Vali should be punished for his sins.
But how?
He is the most powerful.
I can't fight against him.
Whoever fights against him
will lose half of their strength
as soon as they confront him.
King Sugriva, please be fearless.
Now that the boat is here,
you'll surely cross the river.
My Lord Shri Rama is finally here.
His touch can enliven a stone.
King Sugriva, he'll surely find a solution.
You two met through destiny for a cause.
If you befriend Lord Shri Rama,
you'd become more powerful
and capable.
[motivational music playing]
Hanuman,
a treaty is based on some rules.
It's either between two kingdoms
or two kings.
However, neither Rama owns a kingdom
nor you.
So on what basis this treaty will be concluded?
Lord, did you hear Angada's news?
Angada.
Rama and Lakshmana were spotted with Sugriva.
Lord, if they become friends,
you'll surely be under threat.
Hmm.
You're a woman.
You have a natural ability to make a mountain out of a molehill.
Stop them!
Control your thoughts, Tara!
I'm the most powerful!
I'm the most powerful living being in this universe!
However,
you think I should be cautious of Sugriva.
He got scared of me and went hiding on the Rishyamukh Mountain!
Those forest dwellers can't harm me.
They have been banished from their kingdom.
Those who don't even have 'paduka' to protect their feet
can't bring trouble to me.
[Vali chortling]
[Vali continues chortling]
Losers can't defeat me.
Kings sign treaties with each other
and kingdoms too.
Beggars don't sign treaties.
One of them is thrown out of Kishkindha
and the other person is a forest dweller banished from Ayodhya.
He doesn't have a kingdom
or subjects to call him king.
How will their treaty affect me?
[intense music plays]
[pitcher clanking]
Angada.
Son Angada,
power decides the right and wrong.
This is a warfare tactic
and also a political move.
[adventurous music playing]
King Sugriva, the duty of a king is to protect the subjects.
The army... An army is the power which helps protect one's duty.
However, one more relationship has this quality.
Friendship.
Friendship is meant to protect the world.
My friend, there is no power greater than friendship.
So we'll base our treaty
on our friendship.
[joyful music playing]
Friendship is a bond
greater than all relationships.
We choose a friend
and it guides our life,
our way,
our personality,
and our future.
There's no relationship more sincere and greater
than friendship.
One who has a perfect friend in his life
experiences happiness
akin to a king's.
[joyful music playing]
I, King Dasharatha's son,
Raghuvanshi Rama
vow
that I'll help my friend Sugriva
get his kingdom, wife and his dignity back!
[melancholic music playing]
I'll give a death sentence to Vali
and end his sinning!
[melancholic music playing]
I don't expect
anything in return from Sugriva
or have a condition!
- Hail Lord Shri Rama! - All hail!
Lord, you're the greatest
and the benevolent one!
[conch-shell playing]
I, Sugriva,
vow that I'll honour Shri Rama's friendship!
I'll move heaven and earth
to help Shri Rama find Devi Sita!
I'll offer all my power and knowledge
to free Devi Sita
of Ravana's captivity!
[mellow music playing]
[song playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
This is unbelievable.
How could she return unharmed after meeting Lankesh?
What could be the reason?
A person who enters this room
and debates with the powerful Lankesh
never comes back alive.
But you...
Sita, don't ignore us!
Answer our questions!
[sweeping music playing]
Your arrogance, egotism,
and fearlessness hurt us!
Trijata,
we burnt our hands after touching her.
Let's immolate her
and get rid of her arrogance!
[adventurous music playing]
Say that
henceforth, you'll always listen to us.
Promise us or else...
[dramatic music playing]
What's going on?
[suspenseful music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
He is wearing a Vishnu Tilak.
[dramatic music playing]
How dare you two attack her?
You forsook Lanka's hospitality
and are mistreating Lankesh's guest!
Shall I inform Lankesh?
By overlooking your duty of taking care of her
you two crossed the line!
Throw the swords right away!
We made a mistake.
Please forgive us.
Please don't complain to Lankesh.
We won't repeat this mistake.
It's my last warning.
Go away.
[dramatic music playing]
Devi,
I apologise on their behalf.
I'm Lankesh's younger brother,
Vibhishana.
I apologise
for their mistreatment.
Please come with me.
I'll escort you to your abode.
My rightful place is beside my Shri Rama!
Can you drop me off at his place?
[intense music plays]
My friend, henceforth, your grief is mine.
So please don't waste time
and find a way to win back your kingdom
and your wife.
What do you mean?
[mellow music playing]
My friend, there's only one way to fight against injustice!
A duel!
[dramatic music playing]
Invite Vali for a duel.
What?
A duel with Vali?
[dramatic music playing]
Shri Rama, don't be under an illusion.
He is the most powerful one.
Forget about killing Vali,
I can't even confront him for a few moments.
If I could defeat him in a war,
I wouldn't have been in hiding like a coward.
I didn't expect you
to suggest a solution that is akin to committing suicide.
Shri Rama,
you promised me that you'd kill Vali.
However, you seem to be planning my death at his hands!
My friend, I remember my vow.
However, you seem to have forgotten your willpower.
What about the Sugriva
who ruled the entire Kishkindha
in Vali's absence?
Friends help those
who aren't afraid of fighting
and they participate willingly.
My friend, this is your fight!
Those who can't stand up against their own struggles
don't get even Narayana's help!
So please take the initiative
and challenge Vali to a war!
Also, let the descendant of Raghukul take care
of his vow!
[dramatic music playing]
'Even though you are knowledgeable,'
'you are full of ignorance,'
'arrogance, and unrighteous conduct!'
'On top of that,'
'you compare yourself to my Shri Rama!'
'Ravana, Kaal will cause havoc here.'
'Return me to my Shri Rama!'
'Apologise to him.'
'He'll surely spare your life.'
[dramatic music playing]
[flames flaring up]
'If you don't mend your ways,'
'even your knowledge'
'won't be able to save you from my Shri Rama's furore!'
[dramatic music playing]
'Ravana, the countdown has begun.'
'Because my Shri Rama'
'is coming soon!'
[dramatic music playing]
I, Lankesh Dashanan Ravana,
vow
that one day
Sita will be mine!
Please forgive me,
but the knowledge
which can't help me get Sita
is of no use to me!
[dramatic music playing]
[dramatic song fades out]
