This is your chance to prove your supremacy
to the world
which considers you weak.
They call you monkeys.
However, I won't force you.
"Just because I helped the vanaras,
they should also help me."
If you all are too fearful of Ravana,
please don't accompany me.
In case any of you
are here because they fear me,
I free them
with immediate effect.
Please return.
I'm not the forest dweller
who killed Vali
or Ayodhya's prince.
In fact, I'm your friend
who needs the help of his vanara friends
to destroy unrighteousness.
[inspirational music playing]
Only those people
should accompany me to this war
who want to conquer their fear
and get rid of it completely.
[dramatic music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
I'll support you!
[dramatic music playing]
Your sense of righteousness and decorum have guided me
and your stories of bravery have made us fearless.
Shri Rama, I promise you!
If I fail to find Mother Sita within a month,
I'll never show you my face!
[thrilling music playing]
[conch-shell playing]
Yes, Shri Rama! We are also with you!
Lord, we are with you.
- We are with you. - Yes, we are with you.
- We are with you! - We are with you, lord!
Your inspiring words removed all our fear
and doubts.
Shri Rama, all of us are with you.
All of us are with you, Shri Rama!
Henceforth, all of you
won't hide in the forest fearfully.
Who are all of you?
What is your identity?
We wreak havoc on danger!
- We are Rama's warriors! - We are Shankar Himself!
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!
[theme song playing]
Let's begin our journey for searching Mother Sita.
Commander Vinat,
please lead your team towards the east.
Order all the vanaras on the way
to take part in this great battle on my behalf.
Send them here for training.
I'll fulfil my karma with utmost commitment.
I'll take your leave, lord.
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!
Warriors Ajismal and Ajirmal,
you two brothers will lead the team towards the west.
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!
Varshal Mahabal,
please lead your team towards the north.
But, King Sugriva,
Ravana wouldn't have taken Devi Sita
towards the north after abducting her
because Ayodhya is situated in the north.
We can't guess the deceitful tactics
of deceptive asuras like Ravana.
We must search in every direction.
[conch-shell playing]
Get up, Varshal.
When you move towards the north,
please get news of my brother Bharata.
How is he?
How is my Ayodhya
and my three mothers?
I'd like to know it, Varshal.
However, please be mindful
that nobody
in Ayodhya comes to know about you, including Bharata.
Or else, my Bharata
and my Ayodhya will become worried.
I'll do as you say, lord.
- Hail Shri Rama! - All hail!
Shri Rama,
we saw Ravana go towards the south
after abducting Mother Sita.
Lanka is also situated in the south.
So my most talented team
will search in the south.
The team will be led by Angada.
They'll be assisted by Jambavanta,
Nala, Neela, and the powerful Hanuman.
[devotional song playing]
[conch-shell playing]
Hanuman,
your mere touch
conveys your resolve.
I truly believe
that you'll find Sita
and rid me of my problem.
[suspenseful music playing]
Why does Hanuman's radiant face
appear worried?
Lord,
it could be my last greeting to you.
If I don't prove your trust
and fail in my attempt,
your servant won't be able
to show his face to you again, lord.
Testing the gold
doesn't reduce its worth.
Hanuman, I'm confident that you'll be back.
With this trust...
[song playing]
[theme song playing]
Hanuman, I'm trusting you with this ring!
It signifies Sita's trust in me.
[theme song playing]
[song playing]
When you meet Sita,
give this ring to her, Hanuman.
And tell her
that my longing for her
is comparable
to the unstoppable tears streaming down Sita's face.
Just like her,
Rama is also crying inconsolably.
[theme song playing]
Please tell her that as soon as we locate her,
I won't waste another second!
Her Rama will come
to take her as soon as possible!
You entrusted me with a huge responsibility.
Hanuman, responsibilities increase our reliability.
Our beliefs
make our endeavours successful.
Hanuman, you must come back
with the information of Sita's whereabouts.
This journey isn't just to find Sita
but also for you to find yourself.
[vocalising]
Lord, please bless me
so that I, your servant, accomplish your task.
You aren't a servant
but my younger brother, Hanuman.
You are as dear to me
as Lakshmana, Bharata, and Shatrughna.
[mellow vocalising]
[devotional song playing]
[conch-shell playing]
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!
My Shri Rama teaches us
how to be patient
and move ahead calmly,
cautiously, and positively
during difficult times.
However, he doesn't even know
where Ravana took Devi Sita.
Mahadeva, will his efforts become successful.
Goddess,
if a person becomes focussed
on an idea or a goal
and is determined to achieve it,
nobody can stop that person from fulfilling his goal.
Shri Rama is doing the same thing.
The only goal of his life
is to win back Devi Sita.
When a human being becomes determined,
they become Godly!
As it is, this story
is of effort and faith.
On the one hand, is Shri Rama's relentless efforts
and on the other hand,
is Devi Sita's undaunted faith
that her Shri Rama will come.
He'll surely come.
[dramatic music playing]
[birds chirping]
It's beautiful as well as melodious.
[joyful music playing]
I have never seen such a bird before.
[exhilarating music playing]
It's a migratory bird.
However, how could it enter Lanka's border?
- [bird squeaking] - [sweeping music playing]
[birds squeaking]
[dramatic music playing]
Who attacked these innocent birds?
[thunder rumbling]
Lankini!
She is Lanka's protector, Lankini.
Not even a straw can escape her gaze
and enter Lanka.
Lankini is the epitome of death and fear.
[intense music plays]
[thunder cracking]
I, Trijata, bow down to Lanka's protector, Lankini.
Hmm.
You, Sita,
come with me.
[eerie music plays]
You may go.
[sinister music plays]
Please be mindful.
I don't repeat myself.
Follow my order.
Otherwise, I'll take you away
just like dry straws are taken out of the ground.
Do you get it?
Now come with me!
[dramatic music playing]
Where did Lankini take Sita?
[suspenseful music playing]
[hinges creaking]
'- Hail Lankesh! - All hail!'
Go inside.
'- Hail Dashanan! - All hail!'
- Hail Lankesh! - All hail!
- Hail Dashanan! - All hail!
- Hail Lankesh! - All hail!
- Hail Dashanan! - All hail!
[dramatic vocalising]
"Ravana!"
"Ravana! Ravana!"
Your Majesty, may you have a long life.
You gave money to an old woman like me.
Your Majesty, your compassion gave an old lady like me a new life.
May your future glow
like the golden Lanka.
[vocalising]
You aren't just our king but our God.
Lord, please bless this child with power and a happy life.
Lankesh, please christen our son.
[suspenseful music playing]
He is radiant.
He will be named Vilohit.
- Hail Lankesh! - All hail!
[sinister music plays]
You used to think
that I earned everything
with my power.
Look all around you.
Look at my subjects.
Lankesh has so much compassion for them.
Lankesh's subjects
have high regard for Lankesh.
So much affection and honour.
They don't consider me as their king,
but they look up to me as their God.
[tense music playing]
Because before I came,
they did not have anything.
They had no food or place to stay.
And today, they have everything with them.
They have homes to live in.
They have this golden Lanka.
They have strength and power.
Most importantly,
they have their self-respect.
Your Rama's compassion
rescued one Ahalya.
But my solicitude
has uplifted the entire Rakshasa clan.
Compassion suits those
who are strong and capable.
Your Rama is in exile,
who himself is in a state of pity,
and gave up the responsibility of taking care of his subjects.
And then, there's me, Ravana.
I always stood strong for the sake of my citizens.
Look all around you. Neither is there poverty here
nor is there sorrow.
My subjects are ready to give up their life for me.
Isn't this compassionate Ravana
more capable than
that forest-dweller Rama?
[dramatic music playing]
I feel pity for you, Ravana.
Despite having strength and knowledge
you are surrounded by darkness.
[tense music playing]
Your subjects are displaying happiness on their faces,
but did you not see the fear in their eyes?
You are not hearing the cries of fear
behind the voices that are proclaiming their allegiance to you.
The king of the poor is not considered as God.
But the one who is a friend of the poor.
God is not
the one whose subjects bow down with fear.
But the one for whom they bow down in respect.
God is not the one who reminds the subjects all that he has given them.
But he's the one who gives even when there is no expectation.
God is the one who motivates others to do something,
he does not instil the feeling of fear.
And that is my Shri Rama.
In order to fulfil the traditions of Raghukul,
he gave up his royal duties
and kept up Raghukul's dignity.
Yes, Ravana. Dignity.
You dare to compare yourself with my Shri Rama.
You showed me half the Rakshasa that you are, right?
If you had woken up half the human inside you,
then you would have understood my compassionate Rama.
You would have realised where the subjects' actual happiness lies.
The day you overthrow the Rakshasa inside you
and give importance to the revered Brahmin,
that day you will understand that your character
is not even worth the dust on my Shri Rama's feet.
Quiet!
[tense music playing]
You know only the language of the Gods.
Despite having eyes, you are unable to see Ravana's greatness.
After the rains,
this was your last chance.
But you are not worthy of it.
You are not worthy of becoming the queen of Lanka.
You were born in Mithila, but you are ignorant.
You have not learnt to judge.
You are not deserving of being born into any royal family.
Let alone being Ayodhya's queen,
you are not even worthy of being anyone's maid.
- Fool. - Forgive me, Ravana.
You are crossing your limits.
[dramatic music playing]
What did you say?
I was just saying that she is a woman.
Even if a woman is from the enemy's family,
she deserves to be respected.
[tense music playing]
Do I have to learn the lesson of respect and disrespect
from an insignificant devotee of Lord Vishnu?
Do you see this, Ravana?
Power has been awakened by devotion.
And that too in a person's mind who is from your family.
If the same devotion awakens in the hearts of these people,
can you imagine what will happen, Ravana?
I am the only one who will be worshipped in Lanka.
[thunderous sound playing]
Under Ravana's reign, the traditions that will be followed,
the rules that will be followed,
will be the ones that Ravana says and does.
[thunder rumbling]
The one who dares to stand against Ravana,
will be considered as a traitor.
He will be sentenced to death.
[dramatic music playing]
[tense music playing]
No, Father.
He is your brother.
He is family.
Please do not kill him.
If I had left him that day
at the top of the mountain,
then I would not have to see this day.
He has lost the right to live.
So, this is the rule in Lanka.
Lankesh's justice.
Ravana's reign.
Where only Ravana's opinion is the right one.
Everyone else is unreasonable.
And if the minister gives his opinion,
then he is killed.
Just now you were talking about being compassionate.
My Shri Rama,
is ready to sacrifice his life
for his brothers and his subjects.
And here you are ready
to kill your own brother.
Is this your compassion?
Compassion is related to patience, Ravana.
A true ruler
takes his subjects along with him.
He honours their thoughts.
He resides in their minds and hearts.
He does not kill them.
What you are thinking as compassion
is the fear that you have instilled in everyone.
These heads are bowing down in fear.
The heads that bow down in fear
raise when it is time to revolt.
The proof is in front of you.
[vocalising]
You may go.
Go.
[tense music playing]
You were saved today.
But remember,
this is my last warning.
Next time, the pride of being Ravana's brother
will not save you.
I truly was saved today, Ravana.
I was near death when
I was quietly witnessing your ill deeds.
I had lost my way in the journey of righteousness.
I have come back on track today.
Mother Sita was right.
In the process of
bringing you on the path of righteousness,
I landed on
the path of unrighteousness.
If I don't leave your hand today,
then I will become impious.
Starting today,
from this moment
I will not be a part of your unrighteousness.
I'm leaving your side.
I'm leaving this palace.
But I will not leave Lanka.
For the well-being of Lanka
I will continue to pray to Lord Mahadeva.
[sinister music playing]
Lanka and Lankesh
don't need your prayers.
I never needed your support
nor will I ever need it.
Ravana is sufficient.
He can clearly see
the purpose of his life.
You want to go.
Then you can go. Go away.
[dramatic music playing]
I will fulfil my duty as a brother, before I go.
Please open your eyes, Ravana.
After listening to Mother Sita's stories
I have realised that Rama is no ordinary man.
Please ask for his forgiveness while you still have the time.
Otherwise...
Otherwise, your end is certain.
[dramatic music playing]
Before we have to offer prayers
for your soul, you better leave.
Coward.
Go!
[dramatic music playing]
Vibhishana had spoken the truth.
Ravana's end has begun looking for him.
The Vanara troupes from Kishkindha
have begun their search for Mother Sita.
[dramatic music fades]
[mellow music playing]
[theme song playing]
'My Shri Rama, along with his brother Lakshmana'
'was motivating them to be courageous.'
'He was getting them ready for the gruesome war.'
'He was the source of inspiration for the women of Kishkindha.'
'He made them capable by teaching them the nuances of leadership.'
'He was lighting the light of knowledge.'
'Nari asya, Samaaj asya'
'Kushal vastu kara asti'
This means...
A woman is the one who shapes the society.
Any civilization,
can become
as great and ideal
as their women are.
Tara,
you are well-versed in all the Vedas and epics.
You will have to take up the role of leading all the women of Kishkindha.
You have to set the foundation
of the path for the future generations.
[adventurous music playing]
'Though Shri Rama was awakening hope in everyone's eyes,'
'the ray of hope was still far away from him.'
'The troupes that had gone in search of Mother Sita were returning.'
'Lakshmana's impatience was rising.'
'There was no news of Mother Sita coming from any direction.'
[melancholic music playing]
The troupe that went towards the East has returned, Rama.
They did not find any signs
of Sita or Ravana there either.
Rama.
Are you disappointed?
[mellow music playing]
It is almost evening, Lakshmana.
Please light the lamp.
As you say, Rama.
[mellow music playing]
[birds chirping] [mellow music playing]
[epic music playing]
Mother Sita.
First of all, I ask for forgiveness on behalf of my brother Ravana.
His mind has been overtaken by arrogance.
After hearing Shri Rama's praises from you
I had the realisation
that my intention and desire of walking the path of righteousness,
the destination of that path is only Shri Rama.
Sita, my mind has always
been engulfed in Lord Narayana's devotion.
And now, every cell in my body is telling me
that Shri Rama is Lord Narayana.
He has taken the form of a human for the sake of world welfare.
The one who freed Ahalya from the curse,
and the one who gave salvation to Tataka
Siyapati Shri Rama
cannot be an ordinary man.
[mellow music playing]
You have opened my eyes, Mother.
And I have realised that the world is in danger
not from the ill deeds of sinners,
but from the silence of the righteous people.
I kept trying to hold my brother's hand
and take him towards the path of righteousness.
But, I always failed.
I have made my choice. I will not support
my brother in any unrighteous deed.
I will stand with righteousness.
I will stand with Shri Rama.
I want to worship Lord Shri Rama,
but I have a doubt in my mind.
Will he accept my devotion?
Will he accept my faith?
Will he forgive me for being alienated from righteousness?
Please guide me, Sita.
What is the best way to dedicate my life to Shri Rama?
Another name for mercy is Shri Rama.
He is an anchor for anyone who surrenders to him.
Not only you, even if unrighteous Ravana,
surrenders at his feet,
then he will give him place in his heart.
He is merciful.
My Shri Rama is the one who will release you of your fear and worry.
[devotional song playing]
[devotional song continues playing]
[devotional song playing]
Shri Rama.
