Rama,
the team of vanaras that went to the south
to search for Mother Sita is back.
What about Hanuman?
Did Hanuman also return?
Greetings, lord.
Veervan, where are Nala, Neela, Jambavanta, and Angada?
They went with you, right?
Also, where is Hanuman?
Didn't he return yet?
Hanuman ordered all of us to go in different directions
to search for Mother Sita.
We searched for her thoroughly
but
we could neither find Mother Sita nor Ravana.
We didn't even get Hanuman's message.
We assumed that he must have returned
so we came back.
Lord, please forgive us.
We weren't successful.
[melancholic music playing]
Failing is not bad.
Not trying is bad.
All of you made an attempt
and I'm proud of it.
[inspirational music playing]
Rama, now I'm losing hope.
Lakshmana, I have pinned my hopes
on Hanuman.
Until Hanuman's return,
I can't lose hope, Lakshmana.
[inspirational music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
Hanuman, water!
It's water! Water!
Hanuman, we can't walk any further. We are exhausted.
We have been walking for a long time
without food and water.
Now we are losing willpower
and physical strength as well.
Hanuman, we can endure hunger
but not thirst.
Hanuman, we are parched.
The one who gave us this responsibility
will help us
continue our journey.
I request all of you to have faith.
It will help you conquer difficulties.
Hanuman, you're right.
All of you stay put here.
I'll go and find food and water.
[sombre music playing]
Hail Shri Rama!
"Hail valorous Hanuman."
[bells clanging]
[conch-shell playing]
[birds chirping]
Birds are going inside it.
It means there must be water inside the cave.
Hail Shri Rama!
[theme song playing]
[dramatic music playing]
Hanuman,
the silence of this cave is eerie.
We are in an unknown area.
What if it's an illusion?
Nala and Neela, only the brave succeed.
Move forward.
[dramatic music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
I saw birds entering the cave.
Birds inhabit a place
with food and water.
[dramatic music playing]
Neela!
- So many gemstones. - We've chanced upon a treasure of gemstones.
It's the result of our hard work!
Are we really alive?
This place is no less than heaven.
Yes. Heaven must be beautiful like this.
What kind of a place is this?
It's built with gemstones and gold.
I can see water.
[dreamy music plays]
It's surely Kishkindha Cave.
I heard about it in mythological stories.
However, I didn't know
that it really existed.
Let's go.
Huh!
[gasping]
- How did it become dark suddenly? - Are we trapped?
- Let's run! Run! - Calm down!
It seems to be an illusion.
Let's find the exit.
Please huddle together
so that we aren't lost.
[suspenseful music playing]
Hanuman, we are back in the same place.
What kind of illusion is this?
Let's return.
[suspenseful music playing]
Hanuman, what kind of light is this?
[exhilarating music playing]
There are ripe fruits and clean water here.
Friends, let's charge.
Quench your thirst and satiate your hunger.
I think we must rest here for a few days.
'Attention!'
'The rule of this cave is that'
'if anyone eats or drinks water,'
'- they can't leave this cave.' - Please don't drink water.
[suspenseful music playing]
Please don't be scared.
We shouldn't be scared as Lord Shri Rama is with us.
We must get out of here soon.
But how?
All the routes lead to the same place.
What is the right route?
[chortling]
'It's impossible to go out!'
Lord Shri Rama says that truth
makes even the impossible possible.
Devi, we don't know who you are
or this illusion.
However, let me share our true story with you.
We hope that you'll also share
your truth with us.
Devi, we didn't come here to commit theft
but to search for food and water.
We are the devotees of Lord Shri Rama.
We have set out to search for his wife, Mother Sita.
She is held captive by Ravana.
Devi, we can't stop until we find Mother Sita.
Also, we can't return until we find her.
[dramatic music playing]
Then it would be better if you stopped here.
Because you can never reach the place
where Ravana took Sita.
If you have decided not to go home, don't stay hungry.
You may eat food for eternity here.
Eat sweet fruits and stay in a place full of gold and gemstones.
[suspenseful music playing]
You will get all the comforts here.
Why are you risking your life for another person?
All of them are extremely thirsty.
Please drink water.
[suspenseful music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
[dramatic music fades out]
[suspenseful music playing]
[groaning]
[melancholic music playing]
Devi, can you see
that we are ready to sacrifice our lives but not our goal?
Mother, we aren't ready to forsake our goal
in exchange for our lives.
We may die of hunger while fulfilling
our task for Lord Shri Rama,
but we will not stay in a place which obstructs our mission.
How could a vanara be so determined?
May I know your identity as a devotee of Lord Shri Rama?
We are vanaras and servants of Lord Shri Rama.
We are his army.
I'm the servant of Dasharatha's son, Lord Shri Rama.
And this is King Sugriva's army.
Unbelievable.
Who could stall
a determined person's victory?
Please have food and water to your heart's content.
Mother, please introduce yourself.
I'm Sage Swayamprabha.
This illusory cave was built by asura architect, Maya.
He was killed by Lord Indra's Vajra.
Then this cave was inherited by Maya's wife
and my friend, Hema.
After Hema,
I protect this cave.
Greetings, Mother Swayamprabha.
Please drink water.
Please don't worry.
All of you are walking the path of righteousness.
I'm fortunate enough to help you.
Please drink water unhesitatingly.
I'll help all of you to leave this place.
[mellow music playing]
Devi, can we eat fruits?
[joyful music playing]
Uncle Hanuman, please eat a little.
[mellow music playing]
Angada, I don't even feel like drinking water
until I find Mother Sita.
[vocalising]
Mother, thank you for the food.
Please tell us.
How can we help you in return?
If you really want to help me,
save Devi Sita
and punish Ravana.
Hanuman, a woman has been dishonoured.
There is no bigger sin than this.
Mother, you are righteous even though you belong
to the rakshasa clan.
You deserve to be revered like my mother.
However, Mother, only Lord Shri Rama
has the right to punish Ravana.
Mother, we just need to fulfil our duty.
Mother, please guide us
out of this cave.
Let me be a part of a noble cause.
I'll take you to the nearest point
to your destination, Ravana's Lanka.
However, your journey ahead won't be easy.
Our devotion to Lord Shri Rama will keep guiding us,
just as it did today.
Wonderful.
Please close your eyes.
Please don't open them until my order.
Come what may.
[suspenseful music playing]
[sweeping music playing]
Please open your eyes.
[suspenseful music playing]
[dramatic vocalising]
[mantra chanting]
Goddess, what's the matter?
You look worried.
What role does Sage Swayamprabha play in this story?
And what is the significance of the illusory cave built with gemstones?
Goddess, it has a great significance.
The path of duty
is often strewn with difficulties and temptations.
Anything a person
wishes and needs the most
appears before them.
Then they go astray from their path.
They make wrong decisions
because their greed
can corrupt their sense of judgement.
However, those who get rid of greed at the right time
get blessed forever.
Hanuman and all the vanaras did the same.
That's the reason Shri Rama took their help.
The devotion and friendship
of vanaras
can't be found even in deities.
Vanaras never leave their path of duty.
[conch-shell playing]
Hanuman, where have we come?
[intriguing music plays]
Mother, we can only see water everywhere.
Where is Mother Sita?
Mother, where is Ravana's kingdom?
Ravana's kingdom, Lanka
is across this ocean, Hanuman.
[sweeping music playing]
But, Mother, in which direction?
Nobody knows the way ahead.
Nobody has ever been there
without Ravana's permission. Nor can they ever go.
People have only heard about Ravana's Lanka
but nobody ever saw it.
Nobody even knows if it really exists or not.
I and my illusion
can't cross this boundary.
You must forge your way ahead.
Hanuman, I'll take your leave.
May Shri Rama help you.
Mother, thank you for your help.
Hanuman, we have neared Lanka
but how will we reach Lanka?
[dramatic music playing]
How will we cross this ocean?
How will we fulfil our promise to Shri Rama?
Have faith!
Our devotion to Lord Shri Rama brought us here!
It will guide us further!
