Even after the arrival
of Lord Shri Rama, who rids people of their worries,
you look worried.
Why, Your Majesty?
Hanuman, His Majesty is worried for a reason.
Shri Rama might not be aware
of Vali's power
but all of us are well aware of his power.
Jambavanta is right.
The king of vanaras won't be able
to face Vali in a war.
However,
all of you aren't aware of Lord Shri Rama's power.
[joyful music playing]
My Lord Shri Rama
has annihilated thousands of rakshasas.
He is a Suryavanshi who fulfils
his vow.
He'd never back off on his word.
Jambavanta, tell me something.
You don't doubt my intelligence and valour, right?
Your Majesty, my power
is too less compared to my Lord's power.
The source of my power is my devotion
to my Lord Shri Rama.
I'm powerful due to his blessings.
Your Majesty, it's not right to doubt his strength.
Hanuman,
I trust your power and devotion
more than I trust myself.
However, I'm doubtful
because of Vali's unlimited power.
Vali is someone
who is dreaded in the three lokas.
Vali is the one who defeated
Sahastrabahu and other dreaded rakshasas.
Vali snatches half of the strength
of his competitor.
In this way,
he becomes more powerful than his enemies.
Young warriors like Shri Rama and Lakshmana
won't be able to defeat him.
How will they confront him?
Before questioning my brother Shri Rama's capability...
[dramatic music playing]
Didn't you think even once how you'd face me after that?
My brother Rama
offered his friendship without expectations.
He didn't doubt your strength.
If a pious relationship like friendship
lacks trust,
it'll surely break.
[melancholic music playing]
If my brother Shri Rama said
that he'll help you kill Vali,
even destiny can't be a hurdle to his promise.
Lakshmana, I apologise
but I'm doubtful for a reason.
Shri Rama wants me to fight a duel with Vali.
He is way more powerful than me.
I'd never be able to defeat him.
In case Shri Rama fails to kill Vali,
I'd be dead!
[gloomy music playing]
And my wife
will have to endure Vali's closeness
against her wish.
Moreover,
what about my loved ones?
He was born
to rid this world of miseries.
King of vanaras, he, my brother Rama won't let such a thing happen!
Lakshmana.

Sugriva, please tell me.
What are you doubtful about?
I'll try to remove all your doubts.
Forgive me, Shri Rama,
but I'm doubtful
because of Vali's immense power.
His valour
and strength, both are limitless.
One day,
immensely powerful rakshasa, Dundubhi...
'Whose body was akin to a mountain'
'and human beings, danavas'
and even deities were scared of him.
Dundubhi came to Kishkindha and challenged Vali.
Vali!
[earth shuddering]
[Dundubhi chortling]
So you are Vali.
I came here in vain.
I thought you are extremely powerful
but your appearance
makes me feel that it's an insult to challenge you to a war.
Come and fight with me!
You'll know the difference
between the truth and the lie.
[earth shuddering]
It's going to be fun.
Vali, get ready to die!

This is the skeleton
of the immensely powerful rakshasa, Dundubhi, killed by Vali.
[pensive music playing]
It has been lying on the Rishyamukh Mountain for years.
Nobody has the courage
or the power to move it even a little.
It can't be moved by a single person or even a group of people.
Just imagine
the power of Rakshasa Dundubhi
whose skeleton is mammoth.
And Vali's power,
who threw Dundubhi miles away
is unimaginable.
Your Majesty, please trust my Lord.
He'll solve all your problems.
[dramatic music playing]
Even though
he has siddhis, power,
and immense knowledge,
my brother committed this sin.
He...
He has a devout wife,
a valorous son,
and a beautiful kingdom but still,
my brother was immoral enough
to eye another woman.
I apologise
for his crime.
If you know this,
why didn't you stop your brother?
I'm helpless, Devi.
My brother is stubborn.
He'd never relent and I...
I can't be unrighteous.
I vowed
to keep trying to convince my brother to follow righteousness
for a lifetime.
That's the reason, I'm with him.
I'll always stay by his side.
'Dharmo rakshati rakshitah.'
You tried to lead your brother
on the path of righteousness
but could it be
that you followed him and became unrighteous instead?
Could it be
that your choice of path has turned evil?
Righteousness
stands by justice
and it doesn't tolerate injustice.
Your support to your brother
isn't your duty.
You feel compelled due to your fear.
Your compulsion
won't save your brother.
It would ruin him!
Devi,
I follow the path of truth.
I know
that my brother is unrighteous
- but... - Truth isn't just a belief...
[sombre music playing]
It should be a part of one's behaviour.
Truth should be visible
in our karma and words.
Just like my Shri Rama's.
Even though you know the truth,
you are supporting your brother's injustice!
Then you're also a culprit for me.
You apologised to me
so I'll forgive you
but will your sense of righteousness ever forgive you?

Greetings, Mother.
Meghanada.
These 'diyas' have added to the beauty of the temple.
Son, fire is powerful.
When fire lights a 'diya',
it spreads light in the world.
However, when the same fire
burns down knowledge,
it plunges the whole world into darkness.
Just darkness.
Your words
reflect your worry.
Son, it reflects the destruction
which will ruin Lanka.
[suspenseful music playing]
Your father, who is overcome
by his desire to own Sita
burnt his books and the source of knowledge
today, Meghanada.
Knowledge!
It's the foundation
of every civilisation and kingdom.
Burning of the source of knowledge
is a warning sign
of the impending darkness and gloom.
Mother,
please don't worry.
Father won't let
Lanka be destroyed.
He is like the sun!
Nobody can challenge his radiance.
Son, if you look at the sun for a long time,
your eyes won't be able to see other things.
[suspenseful music playing]
Please don't be blinded
by your devotion to your father
and forget the difference between the truth and the lie.
[tense music plays]
Meghanada, please light this 'diya'.
Fire should burn the wick to ash but it didn't.
Mother, because the oil in the 'diya' gets burned first
and not the wick.
Son, I want to tell you the same thing.
[tense music plays]
Fire lights the wick
but the oil gets burned.
After the oil is burnt away,
the wick is turned into ash.
Son, Lankesh's arrogance
and lust akin to a wick have caught fire in the same way.
However, he won't feel the heat immediately.
First, Lanka's opulence
and its resources will be destroyed.
When he'd know the seriousness,
it would have been too late, son.
[dramatic music playing]
I'm afraid
that Sita's abduction...
First, Lanka will be destroyed like the oil in a 'diya'.
And then our entire family
will succumb like the wick, Meghanada!
- [thunder rumbling] - Only you...
Meghanada, only you
can stop this destruction.
[dramatic music playing]
What an illusion!
This skeleton should have turned to dust
but even after facing weather changes, it's still intact.
[theme song playing]
[conch-shell playing]
[joyful vocalising]
- Hail Lord Shri Rama! - All hail!
King of vanaras, what is your opinion?
I hope your doubt is cleared now.
The skeleton which couldn't be moved by others,
was thrown miles away by a mere touch of my Lord.
[devotional song playing]
It seems
you are still worried.
I witnessed your power
but you're still unaware
of Vali's strength.
[suspenseful music playing]
He is an expert archer.
He is so quick
that on a battlefield, it seems as if Vali is attacking us
from ten directions simultaneously.
[suspenseful music playing]
He can pierce through seven Shorea trees with a single arrow.
That's the power of his attack.
King of vanaras, your doubts don't seem to end!
Lakshmana,
let him speak.
Friends have a right
to speak their minds.
Also, Lakshmana,
doubts
won't let a friendship grow.
[mellow music playing]
My friend, I'm ready to clear even this doubt of yours.

Dundubhi's skeleton and these trees
aren't what they appear.
[sombre music playing]
My friend, it's the fear
you have of Vali.
Fear is an addiction
and a bad habit.
My friend, we can't get rid of addiction so easily.
We must make strenuous efforts to get rid of it.
You are fearful of Vali.
You must get rid of it
by a strong effort.
You'll surely win.
If you are still doubtful,
please tell me, my friend.
Please forgive me, Shri Rama.
I sinned
by doubting you.
Please get up, my friend.
What are you doing?
Our relationship is such
that none of us is superior to the other.
I'm happy
that I helped you get rid of your doubt.
Tomorrow,
you must challenge Vali to a war.
