Greetings...
I’ve been waiting for a long time
Is everything alright?
Yes, we’ve all been waiting for you…
Hmm...
Let's Go...
Baji Sarjerao...
Naik...
Kavindra Parmananda..
Come...
We’re meeting after a very long time, Kavindra Baba.
Yes..
This is excellent! Swarajya's all seeeing eye is here!
Now, there's no need to be afraid..
Bahirji…The politics here is getting complicated every day..
Kavindra Baba..
So is across entire Hindustan..
Alright… Tanaaji Rao.
Hmm..
We’ve been staying here for three months now… No one’s suspicious, right?
No… We’ve taken care of that, Naik..
It's a good thing that this inn is on the outskirts… No one really comes here..
What about that man sitting outside?
Yes, that Pathan has come..
But he’s always drunk…
Tanhajirao...
Don’t trust anyone like that…
We ought to stay alert..
Yes.. Indeed..
This is Agra…
Agra is a lair of demon called Aurangzeb..
He had his father, Shah Jahan, imprisoned..
And then..
Rose the darkest nights of all..
As evil cast it's shadow across Agra.
Murad...
Wait Murad...
Wait..
Murad...
Listen to me...
Wait Murad..
MIrza Raja Jaisingh...
Murad...
Get up Murad..
Get up..
Nothing will happen to you, Murad...
He is your brother..
He just wants to talk..
Please.. Listen to what he has to say..
No...
That night, Moiuddin slayed 36 of Shah Jahan's relatives!
Emperor Muhi-ud-Din Muhammad Aurangzeb Ghazi...
Long live! Long live!
If a person acts cruelly, we say that he has a twisted heart...
But if a person does not have it at all?
What would you call him?
Aurangzeb...
(Everyone laughs)
Look..
Nothing Big...
Kisna...
What is the secret signal?
Forgot... - Forgot...?
Did you forget this too?
Naik,
Today, I was in the Emperor's court..
What are you saying?
Yes Subhedar...
I was stepping slowly behind the Emperor...
He came to check the preparations of the birthday ceremony..
Only two months are left until the day of the royal celebrations for my fiftieth birthday...
Are all the prepartions done?
Did the invitations go through?
Yes My Lord...
King Maktut of Yunnan...
Mayuna Angusbi, The Iron king of Persia...
Mohammad Anshah of Kabul...
And Abul Fida Ghani of Kandahar...
All these...
Will be attending your royal celebration...
And a group of Western statesmen will also be arriving..
Famous people from all across the world will sit on the threshold of Agra and pray for you... Emperor
My Lord...
Hmm...
Shivaji, the king of Marathas has agreed to visit Agra...
(laughs crookedly)
Wazir-E-Azam,
All the rulers in this world bow before me..
Except this Maratha!
Even today, he stands proudly before me..
Now it's time to put him on his knees...
Give me information about his movements..
Let him think that he's doing what he wants...
But utimateIy, I will decide which step of his will be the last one ever..
The Emperor said this, which means he is up to something bad..
Our King Shivaji is correct...
What did he say?
We'll know when he arrives..
Kisna...
Yes...
Do you know where they will make provisions for King Shivaji's stay once he arrives?
Might be in the Mulukchand's inn...
Let's get to the task...
Hmm...
Kavindra Baba and I will go meet King Aniruddha Singh Ju of the princely state of Paurach,
To check if he would be of any help..
Until then, all three of you,
Take a look at Mulukchand's inn...
Naik, you are very good at all this...
(Both Laugh)
This is our job!
Kavindra Baba, how far have you come in the task of writing Shivbharat?
Uptill the point where King Shivaji conquered the region Kalyan Bhiwandi...
O king, you conquered Kalyan and Bhiwandi and destroyed the foreign invaders...
You are still writing while spying in Aagra..
You are great!
Naik..
Just as the King has given you with the task of spying,
I have been assigned the task of recording history through poetry...
So be it, but what next...
Exactly what next...
You haven't told me what happened next in Konkan...
Hear hear then!
As the great Maharaj Saheb, Shahaji Raje had said,
Our King Shivaji Raje punished Baji Ghorpade...
Khawas Khan and Baji Ghorpade...
Planned to attack King Shivaji while he had come in Konkan
Khavas Khan had been waiting for Baji Ghorpade in the forest of Mudhol...
But his fate had something else in mind...
(Both Laugh)
King Shivaji is extremely cunning ...
He's been playing many tricks for years to protect this province of his!
Unfortunately, for him..
He hasn't faced me yet..
I am no Afzal Khan...
To fall for his petty tricks!
I am Khavaskhan.
Behold! King Adil Shah's tiger!
Today, I will thwart that King Shivaji's every move!
I will crush every step of his!
And finally, I will trample his pride under my horse's hooves!
May religion triumph!
Attack... Attack...
He is the master of war...
He is heroic...
He is brave..
He is heroic...
King Shivaji...
He is heroic...
He is brave..
Shivaji Maharaj is a brave king...
Shivaji Maharaj is a revered king...
He is heroic...
He is brave..
Shivaji Maharaj is a brave king...
Shivaji Maharaj is a revered king...
Well done Yesaji!
Shah Hazrat, go, and don't spare that King Shivaji...
He is heroic...
He is brave..
This king's army fights resolutely in battle...
-Everyone is brave in name only...
This king's sword is sharp...
He is heroic...
He is brave..
Shivaji Maharaj is as bright as the sun...
O King Shivaji, protect your subjects...
He is the master of war...
He is heroic...
He is brave..
Shivaji Maharaj is a brave king...
Shivaji Maharaj is a revered king...
He is the master of war...
The Great King Shivaji!
Oh my child,
You risked your life for us...
You are God to us..
I'm actually feeling good... knowing that..
Today, Konkan's soil breathed a sigh of relief...
While liberating the same...
The sons of this land,
The Koli, Gond, Bhil, Manewar and Hetakari,
Gave me strength...
Hence, we could save this province of ours...
My soldiers, my friends,
You must remain united, just like this!
And destroy the enemy who sets his evil eye on our motherland..
Hail Goddess Bhavani...
Hail Goddess Ekvira...
My King...
Uptill now, our Konkan's air
Had been poisoned by serpants like the Adil Shahi and Siddhi Sultans
You are our saviour like Lord Krishna!
My King...
We’ve brought a small gift on behalf of our village
Please accept this humble offering at your feet.
Hey… bring it here!
May Goddess Jagdamaba bless us....
Yes...
May Goddess Jagdamaba bless us....

As Bahirji recounted about the Battle of Mudhol,
Bahirji and Kavindra Paramananda reached Paurach, and met King Aniruddh Singh Ju
But what I don't understand is....
Why would King Shivaji agree to come to Agra in the first place?
What can I say now, Ranaji?
Since Shaista Khan ravaged entire Pune and Swarajya,
Our King Shivaji attacked Surat as revenge!
And then,
Bahirji began to narrate the chronicles to Rana Aniruddh Singh…
Tired of losing repeatedly, Aurangzeb sent his formidable general, Mirza Raja Jai Singh,
On a quest to Deccan, to defeat King Shivaji
Due to mistrust on Mirza Raja,
Aurangzeb sent his trusted commander, Diler Khan Pathan to keep a watch on him
While coming to Deccan, arguments broke between the two..
At last, Mirza Raja gave in to Diler Khan’s stubborn demand...
And gave him permission to besiege the fort of Purandar..
The Mavlas defended Purandar and Vajragad from the Mughals with their lives..
Vajragad was also known as Rudramaal.
Diler Khan, targeted Vajragad.
He placed the giant cannons ‘Abdullakhan’, ‘Fatehleshkar’, and ‘Maheli’...
On a hill across the fort of Vajragad…
These three mighty cannons rained on the mighty Fort!
At last, Vajragad fell..
Diler Khan attacked Purandar with an army of 5000 Pathans..
700 Maratha soldiers, as brave as lions fought against them..
Most formidable of them was called, Murarbaji Deshpande!
♪The terrible Lord Kalabhairav ​​ came ringing a terrifying bell♪
♪Lord Kalabhairav, filled with fierce anger and fever of war, arrived...♪
♪A destructive and fierce god has come, one to be feared...♪
- Gairat.... ♪(Lord Bhairav, who bears names like Asit, Batuk, Bhaya, Jwal Nirantara,)♪
♪Lord Bhairav, who bears names like Asit, Batuk, Bhaya, Jwal Nirantara♪
- Who is this Maratha warrior? ♪(and who created the apocalypse, has arrived.)♪
Behold—the keeper of Purandar, Murarbaji Deshpande!
My friends!
Soldiers of King Shivaji Raje!
You are sworn to the saffron flag!
Do not spare them…
They have broken our Rudramal of Purandar...
Let us adorn Purandar with their heads!
Har Har Mahadev! (Maratha Warcry)
♪Salutations to the one who is Rudra Bhairav...♪
Where is Diler..?
Whoever brings the news, I will fill his shield with gold!...
Where is Diler?
Murar!
I am Diler Khan!
If you have any ounce of courage, then fight me!
(Roars!)

Hey! Cover me...
Cover me...
Don't run coward...
Gairat!
If his soldiers are this fierce, then how must King Shivaji be like?
Oh, fearless warrior!
I am impressed upon seeing such bravery and valour! Never have I seen it before!
Come with us! We will honor you!
You shalll recive whatever you desire! All the lands you wish for will be yours!
Just name it!
(laughing)
What happened?
Ugh! I Spit on your rewards,
I decend from Prabhu's clan itself!
How did you even dare to think that I would join you?
I seek no lands.. no rewards… no prizes...
Your offer is worthless!
I am King Shivaji’s soldier..
Listen carefully!
And you think I’ll accept your offer? Ugh!..
So, what do you want then?
Your...
Head!
I want to your head!
Uncle...
Uncle...Please do something...
Otherwise, that devil will kill us!
Ehtasham...
Bring my bow and arrows!
Har Har Mahadev.... (Maratha Warcry)
(Roars)
Mughal Army began to wreak havoc in the Maval province.
Upset at the news, Shivaji Maharaj sent–
–a harsh letter to Mirza Raja Jai Singh..
Raghunathpant reached Mirza Raja’s camp with this letter…
(Mantra chanting)
Pant...
Do you know what that is?
Father Hukum Ji performed the Kotilingarchan ritual to defeat King Shivaji!
After that, the ritual of Maa Baglamukhi was performed, and now? The Shatchandi Yagna!
Pant, whenever Father Hukum Ji performed this Yagna,
He has always emerged victorious!
Now, no one can save King Shivaji from being defeated!
Wow… Prince Kirat Singh, wow!
A devotee of the Goddess is performing a Yagna to defeat another devotee of the same deity…
Impressive..
And all this for whom? The very Emperor whose life’s notion is to drown Hindu gods and goddesses?
Very nice...
Father Hukum Ji,
Pant, this way please..
Oh great Mirza Raja Jai Singh!
Despite your immense power, today you come to Deccan as Aurangzeb’s servant…
If you had come to Deccan to expand your own kingdom,
I would have bowed in your service and stood by your side..
But you chose to draw your sword against innocent Hindus..
Since Afzal Khan, Shaiste Khan failed, Aurangzeb sent you isntead..
To set Hindus against each other!
That's his new political tactic!
Not only this, but for the Mughal's gain,
You attacked warriors like Zunjar Singh and Chhatrasal Bundela
This brings shame to your great legacy and Rajput blood!
Hey Pandit!
Hold your tongue!
Kirat Singh..
Continue, Pandit..
All is threatned, Our deities, lands and even temples..
If we dont unite then we won't save anything!
If you are truly valorous, then use your sword against Aurangzeb...
I am planning to march towards the North with my army..
I will also show you the secret letter about you.. Seized from Shaista Khan’s spy..
And prove that you are being misled!
But if this fails to convince you,
Then my sword will rise from its scabbard, cutting though like the crecent moon does to the night sky!
And then… Nobody can save you..
Pandit...
We both know that
King Shivaji cannot defeat us!
No Kirat Singh...
Despite being in such a grave situation…
That brave man refuses to bow...
Nor do his men show any sign of surrender!
In that case..
I will like to meet him! Personally!
But...
In a a war camp like yours,
Amidst an army of lakhs!
On whose word and on what guarentee can King Shivaji rely on?
My King, he has sworn an oath and the sacred leaf which symbolizes the same!
Therefore, we can trust the Rajput..
Hmm...
After analyzing of the crisis that has descended upon our kingdom,
I see only one option in front of us..
That is to step back....
What do you mean?
Let's agree to the treaty...
My king..
You are our Shambhu Mahadev! Our protector! We shall even leap into fire, if that is your command!
Or even take a step back, for peace... if that is what you want!
Ok...
Now, understand why I called you here..
Yes...
Konkan shall now serve a shelter for our people...
Baji Sarjerao has already been ordered to shift the populace in Konkan
Ok...
You are well acquainted with Konkan...
For the time being, we will have treaty and stop the devastation in the uplands...
Konkan must be protected...
Worst case, even if we are forced to give up these forts,
no one can lift them up and take them to the North!
Yes...
The setting sun rises eventually!
We will start from the beginning..
Yes...
Tanhajirao...
Be patient now..
When the time comes, we will show the Mughals who we are!
Raghunathpant..
Yes Raje...
Finalize the meeting!
Meanwhile, a new conflict stirred up in Mirza Raja’s camp...
How dare you, Diler Khan!
It seems as if you have already fallen into King Shivaji’s trap..
And if that is not the case…
When King Shivaji comes tomorrow,
Grant me permission to behead him!
Diler Khan..
I have given King Shivaji my word!
That no harm will come to him in our camp!
It seems as if a petty Maratha life
Has become more important for you than the Mughal Sultanate's honor!
Think about it..
The people in Delhi will not favour this decision!
I will handle the repercussions occouring in Delhi on my own!
But if anyone dares to lay a finger on King Shivaji while he is here,
I shall kill him myself!
Then may he be the Emperor's favourite, Diler Khan!
My King,
Mirza Raja is here...
Father, please… Be cautious...
My humble greetings to the warrior of Rajputana, Mirza Raja Jai Singh…
Greetings....
Your Highness..
What is all this?
King Shivaji..
We have already conquered Vajragad!
And soon, Purandar will be ours too!
Stop the attack.. Your highness..
I will hand over the fort of Purandar right now!
Really?
Yes..True..
The lives of my men matter more to me than this fort!
Agreed..
Please come..King..
Let us discuss the matters inside the royal tent!
Come...
Please come...
Have a seat..
Tell me, King... What brings you here?
You haven't replied to my letter..
I had no choice, King Shivaji..
I can easily sense the rebellion in your letter..
Not everyone prefers freedom now do they?
Those who enjoy the stench of slavery fear it!
King Shivaji...
Any enemy of the Emperor is my enemy too..
(laughing)
Then, what is the point in having this discussion?
Please stop, King..
You care deeply for your companions…
I have seen you become emotional when it comes to them..
King Shivaji, I have seen countless kings and warriors…
Yet never seen one who cares for his subjects as much as you do!
Hence, I shall myself present your plea before the Emperor!
Do no such thing!
Once freedom, religion, and identity are lost, there is nothing worth pursuing in this world!
I have come bearing a single request..
Do tell..
Behead me before you turn Maharashtra into a graveyard!
King Shivaji!
I am the Rajput Warrior! Not a butcher!
(laughs)
Rajput?
Warrior?
Is it so?
You abase yourself before the Mughals, who rejoice in crushing the Hindu religion...
And still you dare to call yourself a Rajput Warrior?
Loyalty is one of the most important duties of a Rajput!
And mine lies in Emperor Aurangzeb's service!
Loyalty towards a foreigner is betraying one's own motherland!
Your Highness...
Do you truly hail from the land of the mighty Maharana Pratap?
He battled against the Mughals, lived on grass and water, wandered the forests..
Yet never abandoned his Dharma!
That is why he is an eternal idol for patriots like us!
Do you not want the same legacy for yourself?
Absolutely not...
Do not fool me with your irrelevant assertions!
I have given my word to the Emperor!
That I shall take you as a captive!
And yet, I speak with you..
Because you descend from the great Sisodia lineage...
Do not test me, King Shivaji!
I respect you, your valour and courage immensly!
And yet I can't help but pity you!
Your people, are suffering because of your own stubbornness!
Your brave soldiers are dying! The villages of Maval lie devastated!
Hence.. do sit!
Now tell—what have you decided?
Udayraj Munshi...
Yes Master... Here I come!
Yes Master...
Read out the terms and conditions from the treaty for him...
Yes...
Read it...
Yes Master..
Listern carefully..
You shall give the Emperor a total of twenty‑three forts
Purandar, Kondana, Tung, Tikona, Lohagad, Visapur, Rohida,
and other territories..
Your son, Prince Sambhaji Raje,
Shall be appointed a five‑thousand‑rank Mansabdar under the Emperor.
Whenever summoned by the Emporor,
You shall present yourself in his service as and when required!
The land of Konkan and the twelve forts of the Upper Ghats shall remain in your possession,
Along with the territories below those forts...
The strict condition imposed upon your son shall not apply to you..
However, the Emperor expects your loyal cooperation..
And the most important condition of all…
On the occasion of the Emperor’s upcoming fiftieth regnal anniversary...
You must travel to the capital to meet the Emperor...
Why..?
To prove your loyalty towards him!
Your Highness..
I have come here because I can trust you!
Who knows what the Emperor's intentions are?
If you trust me, then I promise you..
That you shall be my responsibility in Agra..
You will be accorded the honour due to a prince…
And your life will be guarded more dearly than my own..
King Shivaji...
If you agree to these terms,
Then I shall forward it for the Emperor's consent and approval...
Udayraj...
Yes Master...
Hmm...
King Shivaji...
I have heard that your Rajmata, your Aausaheb (Queen Mother),
Is on Kondhana fort..
And you know well..
The very fort which is surrounded by my forces?
Think before deciding anything...
Goddess Jagadamba.. Help me..
Pant...
So Ranaji...
This is all that happened…
Aurangzeb can not be trusted...
But you mustn't worry…
I will signal my loyal Rajputs...
Even if something goes wrong during the birthday festivities,
My men will escort King Shivaji out of there, before anything happenes to him..
It is our sacred duty, to defend Hindu Dharma
There shall be no compromise in it!
People here have started to say that,
King Shivaji is divine form himself!
The last ray of hope for us Hindus..
And we shall never allow that hope to be extinguished!
After securing Aniruddha Singh Ji’s assurance,
Bahirji and Kavindra Paramananda returned to Agra..
Naik...
Yes..
What exactly is in the Raje's mind?
After the treaty with Mirza Raja,
The King called me one evening…
Naik...
Yes..
The present crisis is not an ordinary one..
I went ahead and signed the treaty!
Even accepted their royal notice and gifts!
But now it seems that this won't stop here!
I must go to meet the Emperor, to Delhi or Agra!
The Mughal court of Agra is no mere royal assembly..
But a life threatening lair like a man eating tiger's cave!
Cover entire North Hindustan before I come to Agra..
Yes Master!
Before you arrive, I shall ready a detailed account about Agra..
Hmm..
But...
What exactly are you planning to do Master?
What if Lord Narsimha from Pratapgad reappears in Agra?
(laughs)
What if we strike the Emperor directly?
The plan does have potential..
But isn’t it a bit risky?
We were not born to do simple things, Naik.
If we are forbidden to live then we should be able to use that time as an opportunity to win..
Naik...
We shall not go to Agra out of helplessness..
Instead..
Strike Agra with a proper plan..
In the meanwhile, I will ensure that Swarajya’s foundation is secure..
God forbid, if anything befalls me in Agra,
Then the forts of Swarajya shall stand firmly under Aausaheb’s (Queen Mother) command!
Hence, I will make all arrangements for the same!
Even a few of Aurangzeb's close relatives are plotting to overthrow him..
There, you will find a chief named Shambhusingh Shekhawat
He is a Rajput agent, specially recommended by our Vishwasrao Dighe!
Following these orders, I went to Agra to meet Shambhusinh Shekhawat ...
And ended up attending a gathering there...
Akil Khan Sahab..
The gathering will be incomplete without your poetry!
But the Lady of Poetry has not yet arrived...
Please recite...
The heart makes its plea…
When silence falls upon the soil of the heart,
Feelings search for the way through words..
Even hidden tears sometimes find a voice,
Whenever a tale unfolds between hearts...
Wow...Very nice...
Thank you...
Very well..
Now Princess, would you grace us with a recital?
Princess?
Princess Zebunnisa!
Aurangzeb’s beloved daughter..
Presented for your consideration…
Some faces are clear, even behind the veil..
Every secret longs for a thread of trust..
Behind blurred truths, a trap of venom awaits,
And in every smile, hides a treacherous story..
Very nice...
Wow... Very nice!
Truly remarkable!
Veils and deceit are the nature of this land..
Do not forget, O naive one… the heavens are watching..
Naik, be careful..
Who is this, Shambhu Singh?
Ah… yes… Your Highness… He is from Deccan…
The assembly is over!
What’s the matter, Naik?
It’s hard to believe that…
Sometimes identity falls short before purpose, Naik.
We are the leaders of a group that hides revolution behind a veil of words!
We are not mere artists, performers, or reciters of poetry..
we are a syndicate, called Makfi..
Our aim is to overthrow the cruel throne of my father (Aurangzeb)
The atrocities he commits against Hindus make us tremble!
It seems as if Father wants to erase the very word ‘Hindu’ from this land!
Aurangzeb!
Even the slightest mention of his name strikes fear amongst the populace in Agra..
There is only one person, in the entire Hindustaan who can save humanity now...
that is King Shivaji.. of Deccan....
He is like a brother to me...
Do not worry, Naik…
We will be there to help King Shivaji, whenever you need our help in Agra..
Come Princess...
And that is why we are here.. Making meticulous provisions for his visit..
King Shivaji is no less than a lion!
Only a King like him can forsee so much!
Huh?
Come Lets go!
There! Right up ahead! just a bit further away!
Yes hurry up...
Naik...Naik..
No.. Listen! Subhedar!
Naik...Naik.. (cries)
Wait... Naik...
Idiot! I’m alive. He is dead! Look? There!
Naik…You must go.. I'll handle this man! You must leave!
Swarajya needs on you… You must go now!
Tanhajirao he is helping us..!
No, Naik… You go! I will handle this! Just go!
He is one of us Tanhajirao! Aniruddha Singh Rana has sent him to help us!
He is a chief under Bhavsinh Hada—
Shambhusinh Shekhawat! Someone please tell him!
He is one of us! Let him go!
Really..? -Yes.
Naik, is this a hand or a hangman’s noose?
If you had tightened it a little longer, my neck would’ve snapped!
Ha! You’d have been dead for sure! Couldn't you tell earlier!
(laughs)
But Naik... What is all this?
Perhaps he is Aurangzeb’s spy!
Naik, you leave this place immediately! We’ll handle things here!
Faulad Khan Kotwal has imposed a strict security cordon..
You all must leave now.. As soon as possible..
I think, all of you should immediately head towards Rajgad!
But Naik.. What about you?
Listen!
We have to ensure King Shivaji's safety, both while he comes and leaves Agra..
Hence I’ll have to stay here since there’s still alot to be done..
Kisna,
you know all the routes around here..
You go with them and bring the Shivaji Raje back safely, alright?
Please take care of yourself..
Yes...
You must make haste now..
Let's go...
While these Maratha spies were at work ensuring King Shivaji’s safety in Agra,
Mirza Raja's letter reached Kunwar Ramsingh:
“I am sending King Shivaji to Agra…”
Remember! No injustice shall befall him!
This is your duty! Ordered by Mirza Raja Jai Singh.
He would have rather ordered death for me.
What if King Shivaji is killed here?
Commander! Commander —open the gates… let us in!
Is anyone up there?? Open the door!
Who is it?
My King?
What happened?
Commander, the enemy is on our trail… Let us in! Open the gates this instant!
Load the cannons, boys! The enemy is right behind our King!
My King! You must not worry at all…
We are ready! We will scorch every last enemy!
Instead...Just let the King in at once!
That won’t be possible…
Only yesterday have we received the King’s letter...
It says that–
Even if he himself shows up, the gates are not to be opened at night at any cost!
It is our King's royal order! How can we not obey?
Commander… If you do not open this gate,
I will sever your head!
Very well, My King!
Death at your hands will only be–
–my salvation!
Look, my king! The sun will rise within a moment!
The moment the first ray touches the horizon, I will open the gate for you!
Till then, have some water and bread..
My King! please honor us by accepting the refereshments!
Oh… What is all this for?
It is warriors like you who keep Swarajya safe, Commander!
Now I am free to travel to the North!
My King...
Please look after yourself..
King Shivaji tested the valor of his Mavalas at Siddhagad,
Let's go...
King Shivaji tested the valor of his Mavalas at Siddhagad,
But, another trial awaited him at Rajgad…
Yesubai looks so beautiful today! Doesn't she, Aausaheb? (Queen Mother)
Your Highness..
Aausaheb! (Queen Mother)
Prince Shambhu wait...
Have I done something wrong?
How could you ever? It is I who have erred...
Why do you say so, Aausaheb (Queen Mother)?
Your word is Goddess Bhavani’s command for me!
Is that why you put me in such situations?
Enough of this farce Shivba! Cease it at once!
At least now, let me live as a mother!
I surrendered you to the task of building Swarajya, before you came of age!
You know how much I have sacrificed for our Swarajya!
You conquered the fort of Torna at the age of sixteen,
The mother within me has lived under the looming shadow of fear that something might happen to you!
First Fateh Khan then…Then Afzal Khan… Then Shaista Khan…
And now this! Aurangzeb? You are entering a serpent's nest!
He is worth thousands of such Afzal Khans! He is beyond cruel my child!
And yet, you want to take our prince Shambhu there?
Look at her..
Just look!
God forbid, but if anything were to happen tomorrow…
and she is widowed, Then tell me, would you be able to face her then?
Aausaheb (Queen Mother)!
I devoted your entire life for the cause of 'Swarajya'!
Now, I search for that lost childhood within Prince Shambhu!
Do you wish to steal that happiness from me, in my old years too?
I know your destiny is bound For the sake of our Swarajya!
Hence you ought to go!
Tomorrow, even our Prince Shambhu must face the battlefield! I know that!
But not yet! He is still an innocent child!
What do you expect of him once surrounded by the enemy?
He shall do what Abhimanyu once did!
But Aausaheb...(Queen Mother)
Only, this Abhimanyu will learn the secrets of the Chakravyuh that he has to break later!
I want to guide him now so that he isn't trapped in it tomorrow!
I am aware that–
–I am taking along a piece of your heart, that is most dear to you..
And who else is a better person to look after him than me? Your son?
Enough now.. Do not trap me with your words!
But Aausaheb, (Queen Mother) I speak from the heart...
As a matter of fact,
Our prince Shambhu is very important for this diplomacy..
Aausaheb...(Queen Mother)
To fulfill the vow, the dream, that you bestowed upon me, in my childhood–
–prince Shambu must set out now!
If you to bless me, I can easily return from any deadly trap!
But if you are upset, and we leave otherwise then–
–perhaps the Mughal's first strike may hit right on the mark–
Tell me, not as my mother but as the Aausaheb (Queen Mother) of our people..
Which duty ought I honor?
A King’s or a Father’s?
A King's....
A Father's
And a Son's as well..
Promise me, Shivba my child.. You will return safe and sound..
and come what may,
You will bring Prince Shambhu with due care..
Promise me!
(exhales)
I promise.. Aausaheb... (Queen Mother)
May Goddess Jagadamb bless us...
I shall take your leave.
My king...we stand on the threshhold of the city of Agra..
Not a single person in sight,
Indeed! It’s been a very long wait!
Is this the Mughal's Capital?
Look! Someone's coming..
Hmm..
Make haste! Make haste!
Who’s this scarecrow supposed to be?
Amongst you, who is the king?
Hey!
Have you gone blind or what?
Don't you understand, eh?
Baji Sarjerao....
Wait...
Yes My King...
Greetings..
Who are you?
I am prince Ram singh’s clerk.. Giridharilal…
Ranaji has sent a robe as a mark of honour for you!
Clerk?
Yes...
Why didn't prince Ram Singh come himself?
He wanted to.. but..uh..
The Emperor summoned him at the last minute!
Hence, he couldn't come..
But sent me instead!
So all this waiting only to face this pathetic clerk?
My King!
This is an insult!
It’s not just an insult Sarjerao…
The Emperor is playing a very well crafted political move against me..
Hmm...
Anyways..
The welfare of Swarajya matters more than my insult..
Will Prince Ram Singh ever come to meet us?
Or shall we see each other directly in the court itself?
Oh no, it’s not like that…
the Prince will come.. most certainly!
If that is what you say..
Where to now?
Where should we go now?
Oh yes… At Mulukchand's Inn
Please..come..
Let's go..
Ram Singh was going to come...
Yes he was going to come but...
Now who is he....?
Greetings, my king..
Hmm?
You must pardon me for the untimely delay...
This is the Prince..
Ram Singh..
It is alright, Prince Ramsing…
I can understand...
You are a honest Rajput with an unwavering integrity...
But your Emperor? He speaks of honesty, but acts like–
My King..
(laughs)
Let it be.. Now, how do we proceed tomorrow?
For the Emperor’s birth anniversary celebration?
We shall depart a little early tomorrow...
I shall personally come to escort you.
Just as you did today?
(everyone laughs)
Forgive me, King Shivaji.. Please don't embarass me any further...
Sorry… I was merely jesting..
You’re not like what I’d heard about you!
What do you mean? How am I then?
I mean… You’re really cheerful..
Hmm..
I am, until I loose my temper...
He is heroic...
He is brave..
Shivaji Maharaj is a brave king...
Shivaji Maharaj is a revered king...
Naik...
(everyone laughs)
I have roamed across the entire Rajputana as you had ordered, Master!
While I met many, they will not openly support us despite agreeing with our cause..
Yet, the enmity against Aurangzeb is mutual...
So, if something goes wrong in the court tomorrow–
–then it won't immediately become life threatening.. Right?
No, Master...
We will step in with a complete and an intricate escape plan!
Hmm..
There are three main places where the ceremony will take place..
First is, Diwan-E-Aam..
Here, the Emperor's throne is at an unreachable height..
Second is, the Diwan-E-Khas..
Only a few special people are invited for the ceremony.. –All hail emperor Aurangzeb!
Third and the last is, Ghushalkhana..
All of Aurangzeb's vital meetings happen here..
Special discussions, meet ups
or even grand ceremonies– anything important; happens here!
This Ghushalkhana is adorned with a water curtain,
and other decorative items–
–showing off the immense Mughal wealth..
Tomorrow, we will be going into the Diwan–E–Aam
There are no steps from the front side..
There is a door leading up to the throne on the right side..
The Emperor takes that!
Tanhajirao! You along with Baji Sarjerao and Hiroji Farzand
Will stand near that door..
And help Master make way towards the Emperor..
Yes..
The rest of our company, meaning
Niraji Ravji, Yesaji Kank, Tryambak Sondev–
–Mankoji Harisabnis, Kavindra Paramanand, Raghunathpant Korde–
–will be made to stand where the historians and clerks do..
The rest, such as, Duttaji Tryambak, Raghoji Mitra, Dawalji Ghadge and Ramji..
I will smartly place them behind different cheiftains across the court..
Tommorrow will be the most important day in the History of our Maratha Empire..
Under the pretext of meeting him,
We might get the chance to strike Aurangzeb...
He is heroic...
He is brave..
Shivaji Maharaj is a brave king...
Shivaji Maharaj is a revered king...
Hail Goddess Bhavani...
He is the master of war...
The Great King Shivaji!
My beloved daughter seems to be a bit lost today..
Doesn’t this royal attire suit me?
What are you so fixed about?
Forgive me, Your Excellency…
Yesterday, I heard that…
(fumbles slightly)
That Shivaji, the King of Deccan has arrived?
He defeated the very Afzal Khan, who had captured you once..
Shouldn't a warrior like him be welcomed with honor?
Wazir‑e‑Azam… what punishment should an enemy of Islam be given?
Death sentence..
Indeed!
This is the very punishment that I have decided for Shivaji...
Then why didn’t you attack him the moment he stepped in Agra?
It is how politics works, my dear daughter…
Politics...
Our spies have brought word that King Shivaji’s men are–
–meeting every king in the province of Rajputana..
Aniruddha Singh Ju of Paurach is helping him...
If even half of the Rajputs side with him,
Then the Mughal Empire will fall to ashes..
And I have given Mirza Raja my word...
If I break that oath and execute Shivaji then–
–Mirza Raja might become our enemy!
And then there will be no going back..
Hence, I want–
–Shivaji to act insolently in the court tomorrow..
That way, I can kill Shivaji easily for his misbehaviour in the royal court..
And Mirza Raja will have no choice but to remain silent.
Hence, provoke Shiva..
Insult him at every possible step
His self-esteem and brave nature will not let him remain silent for long..
And we can destroy him easily..
Jafar Khan..
Keep Ram Singh so occupied today,
That he gets delayed while bringing Shivaji to the court...
And since Shivaji will arrive late to the Diwan-e-Aam,
I shall humiliate him before the entire courtroom and guests..
Yes Emperor..
How much does this cost?
Twenty 'Dinar' [old mughal currency] sir..
Alright..
And this..?
This costs thirty 'Dinar' [old mughal currency] sir
Do you happpen to sell any chess set?
A chess set? No sir..Why?
Because the trap has already been set on the chess board..
We must stop the king, else he will be in danger..
Yet, in case of checkmate, Mahendra Singh Ranawat will be on the stand by...
Hey.. Who let you in?
Where is our king? King Shivaji..?
The king.. Has already left for the court..
But who might you be–
My King..
My King!
Please! You must wait!
You can't take the elephant ahead, since the streets are very narrow;
a crowd will gather, Your highness..
And they call this the capital… How shameful!
Pardon me, Your Majesty…
We chose different paths..Hence the delay
No matter, our paths have been divulged since the start, Prince Ram Singh!
Yours is of slavery, and mine is of freedom!
Yes.. My King..
We are getting late..
We must leave for the royal court...
Hmm..
“Hold on! Huh? Oh? Ah! We're with him! But…But we’re with him! Let us in!
Go back this instant!
What is all this?
My King..
The permit has been issued only for you and your son..
(to himself) This changes everything the entire plain fails..
But backing down isn't an option either.. Something must be done..
We are with him!
Hey, wait! Hey, wait!.. Stop..
Let's go My King..
King Shivaji!
[gestures- sign language]
Prince Shambhu..
If, by any chance I have to leave your hand in the court,
Then remember one name…
Mahendra Singh Ranawat…
He will safely escort you to Tanhajirao..
Yes Father..
King Shivaji..
Yes.. Let's go..
However, the plot to call Shivaji Maharaj a bit late, failed
King Shivaji's got so late that the events in the Diwan-E-Aam and Diwan-E-Khas had ended..
Leaving him no choice but to proceed to the Ghusalkhana..
Please... Come this way, My King..
Now, no one may raise their voice in the court…
If you have any request, you must speak, covering your mouth with a handkerchief...
One should keep this protocol in mind..
We cannot directly approach the Emperor..
His servants will accept offerings from your attendants...
And while exiting the court,
You must not turn your back on Emperor..
Doing so is deemed an insult of the Mughal Sultanate!
आवत गोसलखाने : शिवाजीराजे दरबारात येताच As soon as Shivaji arrived at the court...
ऐसे कछु त्योर ठाने : शिवाजीराजांचा आविर्भाव बघून Seeing the emergence of king Shivaji
जानो अवरंगहूके प्रानन को लेवा है : असे वाटले की ते औरंगजेबाचा प्राणच घेणार It seemed that he would take Aurangzeb's life.
आवत गोसलखाने : शिवाजीराजे दरबारात येताच As soon as Shivaji arrived at the court...
ऐसे कछु त्योर ठाने : शिवाजीराजांचा आविर्भाव बघून Seeing the emergence of king Shivaji
जानो अवरंगहूके प्रानन को लेवा है : असे वाटले की ते औरंगजेबाचा प्राणच घेणार It seemed that he would take Aurangzeb's life.
रस – खोट भए ते : रसभंग झाल्यामुळे ... Due to disillusionment
अगोट आगरे मौं सातौं चौकी नाँघि : राजांनी आग्र्याच्या सातही चौक्या ओलांडल्या The kings crossed all the seven gates of Agra.
आय घर करी हदरेवा है : आणि नर्मदा ही राज्याची हद्द बनवली And the Narmada was made the boundary of the state.
भूषन भनत मही चहौं चक्क चाह कियौ : भूषण म्हणतो राजांनी पृथ्वीवर चारी दिशांना सत्ता सुरु केल्यावर Bhushan says that after the kings began to rule the four directions of the earth,
पातसाह चिक्काता की छाती माह छेवा है : कुणीच जाणू शकत नाही अशी कामे हे राजे करत आहेत It was like hitting Aurangzeb on the chest...
जान न परत ऐसे काम है करत कोऊ गंधरव देवा है : कुणीच जाणू शकत नाही अशी कामे हे राजे करत आहेत This king is doing things that no one can know.
कै सिद्ध है कै सिवा है : अशी कामे कोणी गंधर्व, देव , सिद्ध पुरुष किंवा शिवाजी राजेच करू शकतात Only a Gandharva (Demigod), a God, a ascetic or a King Shivaji can do such things.
And while exiting the court,
One cannot turn one's back on the emperor while returning from the court...
It is considered an insult to the Mughal Empire..
You will keep these court customs in mind won't you, King Shivaji?
It is impossible to forget the customs of those who cheat..
Since that is the very essence of their being!
Yes...
Mahendra Singh..
Prince Shambhu...
Stop them...
Stay where you are...
That is the designed place for those who command thousand soldiers!
Stay where you are!
Prince Ram Singh...
Who is this? Standing in the row ahead of me?
My Lord...
What happened, King?
I asked, who is that? Standing in line in front of me?
He is Maharaja Jaswant Singh...
What?
Do you consider my status to be beneath a courtier like Jaswant Singh?
What is this supposed to mean?
Many times in battle has he fled from my brave sholdiers, turning his back on them!
What is going on?
Today, even my nine-year-old son is an officer commanding five thousand soldiers...
And you expect me to stand here?
Behind these cowards?
Prince Ram Singh...
Ask Shivaji,
Why is he so angry?
I'll tell you...
You saw it,
Your father saw it,
Your Emperor saw it too...
♪ The master of war ♪
You know...
Your father, Mirza Raja, also knows...
And so does your Emperor.... About..
Who I am..
And you make me stand at such a low level purposely!
I rejet your rule from today...
I hate your government...
Why was I made to stand?
And even if you did,
You should have thought about my status first...
Shivaji...
Today, you have commited this mistake on my holy birthday...
I forgive you...
But I never asked for an apology..
Even if you utter a single word from now on, keep it in mind...
Whatever step I take from now,
I will do so, kepping you in in mind..
I don't wish to ruin this celebration...
Therefore, I allow King Shivaji to stand in the line of officers commanding three thousand soldiers instead..
Three Thousand?
By the grace of Goddess Bhavani,
I command an army of forty thousand today...
An amalgamation of beggars does not make an army...
But a one by honest, hard working farmers, who strive for their motherland does..
Not everyone is capable of keeping an army of looters like you...
Shivaji...
The whole world knows how you gained this power...
But by misusing this very power...
Don't you even dream of destroying this Country of Hindus... Swarja (Self Rule) of Hindus...And their religion
Because if you do then remeber that between you and this horrible dream of yours,
Stands an unbreakable wall called Shivaji!...
(growls in anger)
Akil Khan...
Yes Emperor...
Give Shivaji the royal gifts... Perhaps he will calm down..
As you command, Emperor..
Wazir-E-Azam
Yes..
If he fails to calm down,
then silence him forever....
Radandaz Khan ?
Yes..
Listen King...
Please come in... Else the consequences will be bad, My King...
Today, my death has come..
I am not a servant...
Either you kill me...
Or I'll kill myself...
But under any circumstance I will now bow before the Emperor...
Prine Ram Singh...
The Emperor has sent this for King Shivaji..
What?
If you want to kill me, then go ahead!
If you want to imprison me, then you are free to!
But I will not accept your gift and royal attire...
Is that clear?
आए दरबार बिललाने छरीदार देखि : शिवाजीराजे दरबारात येताच गुर्जबदार दुःखी झाले Gurjabdar became sad as soon as Shivaji arrived in the court.
जापता करनहारे नेकहून मनके : विद्वानांची माने गढूळ झाली The minds of scholars became clouded.
भूषन भनत भौंसिला के आय आगे : भूषण म्हणतो भोसल्यांच्या येण्यामुळे Bhushan says that due to the arrival of the Bhonslas
ठाढे बाजे भए उमराय तुजुक करन के : मोठमोठे उमराव घाबरून उभे राहिले The great nobles stood in fear.
राहि रह्यौ जकि सिव साहि रह्यौ तकि : शिवाजीराजांना पाहून बादशहाला जीवाचा घोर पडला The emperor was terrified to see Shivaji.
और चाहि रह्यौ चकि बने ब्यौंत अनबन के : शिवाजीराजे बादशहा जवळ जाण्याचा प्रयत्न करू लागले Shivaji Raja started trying to get closer to the Emperor.
ग्रीषम के भानु सो खुमान को प्रताप देखि : ग्रीष्मातल्या सूर्याप्रमाणे शिवाजीराजांचा तळपणारा पराक्रम पाहून Seeing Shivaji's prowess shining like the summer sun,
तारे सम तारे गए मूँद तुरकन के : तुर्कांचे तारे निस्तेज झाले The stars of the Turks faded
The reason behind my anger is not only the insult by Emperor..
But despite all our efforts,
I could not get close to that demon who preys on the lives of Hindus...
It's simply impossible to get an opportunity like this again...
Tell me Ram Singh...
Why shouldn't I kill that infidel Shivaji?
One...
Give him a chance, my Lord.
He isn't quite aquainted with the royal customs...
You don't understand, Ram Singh...
He humiliated me before the whole world!
And still, he is in this city....
If he tries to do something like that again...
He won't, My Lord.
If that man can behave arrogantly amongst my soldiers in a crowded court..
He can do anything he wants..
Who will be responsible for that then?
I'll take the respponsibility..
As long as King Shivaji is in Agra...
I shall be responsible for him and his actions..
Alright...
I will have to trust your word...
Submit all of this in writing in the court tomorrow...
May God save you...
Surround the inn from all sides...
Don't leave a single corner!
This is Faulad Khan's seige...
A death trap indeed....
Who is this King Shivaji?
Who was so arrogant before the Emperor himsef?
And yet the Emperor is taking no action about the same!
You are absolutely correct, Maharaj Jaswant Singh...
Everyone is discussing about his outrageous behaviour!
But the Emperor does not take a single step against King Shivaji...
Forgive me, My emperor...
O mighty Emperor! Please dont be upset on us!
But, O world-conquering Emperor... You are the crown of this kingdom...
You are the radiance of God, sitting in his shadow...
But today, that King Shivaji proved in your court that–
–anyone can raise their voice and heads before the Emperor of Hindustaan!
This isn't just an insult aimed at you but-
–a direct attack on the honor of Islam...
That infidel stood staring at you...
and people mistook your patience for despair...
How does this befit the Emperor's fame?
Oh dear sister...
you have mistaken my patience for weakness...
King Shivaji's arrogant behaviour today, has indeed wounded me..
Worry not.. He will pay for the same..
But the matters of a kingdom are ruled by the mind rather than the blade.
My Lord...
I may not be as smart as you are but–
–the protection of religion and the glory of the crown are beyond that...
If such a rebel is pardoned...
Then it will be said that
The Emperor of Islam bowed before an infidel Maratha...
You are right, sister...
Shivaji's behavior will have its consequences..
His death will be one of them..
But only I shall decide the when and where..
Don't move or I'll have to kill you!
Don't attack me from behind like a coward..
I am a Rajput...
If you dare, strike from the front like a warrior..
I have come to remind you about the same, that you are a Rajput...
I am just returning from the Emperor's secret meeting...
It is decided there, that, our King Shivaji will be slayed by Radandaz Khan.
Oh Lord Eklingji! Are you–
Are you telling the truth?
I swear by Lord Eklingji.
Your father had promised our King Shivaji the same by giving him the sacred leaf of Lord Eklingji....
That, here in Agra, King Shivaji will not be harmed in the slightest..
If anything were to befall on him now..
No one will trust a Rajput's word then..
I have heard that you intend to execute King Shivaji?
If this is the Emperor's wish, so be it..
I am a slave,
What can I do against your will?
Only a small request, My Lord
Hmm...
Yes..Tell me..
Before you kill King Shivaji, please kill me...
My father has promised him that he will remain safe in Agra..
If I die,
I won't have to answer to my father...
I think there has been some misunderstanding..
Rest assured...
I won't do anything that will break your father's promise...
I am only sending Shivaji with Radandaz Khan on the Kabul campaign...
A warrior like Shivaji..
Will be beneficial for the Mughal Empire in this war..
You may go now...
I'm sorry my Lord
But are you really going to leave King Shivaji?
I will leave him,
but maybe, Radandaz Khan won't.
Aurangzeb is planning send the King to Kabul...
Moreover, Ram Singh will also accompany him..
Though, all of this is just a show..
Hey, who are you?
Me?
I am the King's poet!
Oh dear...
But how did you come to know that the Emperor is conspiring to send our King Shivaji to Kabul?
Hey Pant...
He is not only sending Ram Singh alone with the king,
but also Radandaz Khan..
Over there..
He plans to kill Master there.. in Kabul.
But Naik, what do you propose then?
Master..
There is only one person in this entire city of Agra
Who can stand up to Aurangzeb..
Hmm...
Yes My King...
Father, may I disturb your solitude?
Come on, Zeb..
How come you visit me so early today?
O emperor of Hindusthaan,
O my merciful father,
The throne of a kingdom is not only defended by the sword,
but also by thought and wisdom.
King Shivaji Maharaj is the most influential leader in the land of the Deccan...
Both his heart and his influence beat in the Sahyadris....
Just think..
If you send him to Kabul then,
Despite being imprisoned,
His name will become a weapon across Deccan.
In his absence,
His comrades may glorify him as a hero in prison and raise a great rebellion against us!
My bloved father,
You might not just lose one man, but the entire province of Deccan because of this...
If you want everything to remain peaceful there..
Then keep King Shivaji.. close by
Perhaps in custody while maintaining some respect..
And then use his strength for your throne..
Now that, will result in a true victory..
Such recommendation for that infedel?
Why?
I am just worried for your own good, dear father...
Worried for me?
Yes...
Even Mirza Raja has sent a letter for you...
He too recommends you to do the same...
Now you expect me to follow my Knight's command...
King Mirza has given King Shivaji his word...
And if that is broken...
Then the Rajputs would rebel..
Just think about it for a while...
Afterall, who am I to teach you about politics?
The Kabul crisis has been averted for now, My Master..
But he can always come up with that plan again...
But I am oblivious to the crooked ploy that is brewing in his head at this moment...
But then what should we do?
Allow me..
I feel like...
I should fall ill..
Hmm...
What..?
My King...
Yes...
I feel like
We need to get all our people out of here safely...
This idea will result in two things...
One, that all our people will get out of here safely...
And two, the emperor will feel that we trust him...
So he will let his guard down!
And then I'll try to see if he lets me go home, saying that I miss it because I wont be well..
Yes...
My King...
My King... Ram Singh...
Ram Singh is here...
Prince Shambhu come sit...
Bring the medicines that have been prescribed...
Yes.. Of course..
King Shivaji...
What happened to the King?
He is not feeling well..
I have prescribed him some medicine..
God bless the rest...
King Shivaji,
If you say so, should I call my royal physician?
Oh my God...
So you don't trust my medicine and practice?
Then why call me in the first place?
Why..?
Oh God, where do such people come from and why do they call me!
Oh My God...
Listen Ram Singh...
Yes..
Let it be...
Please convey two of my porposals to the Emperor..
Among these two one was,
Asking for permission to let King Shivaji to return to Deccan due to his illness..
And the other was to send King Shivaji's men back to Deccan...
My Lord...
Today little feudal Lord has arrived...
No...
I am not a feudal lord... I am a king...
Just look at his attitude...
Like father... Like son...
No...
If my father is the storm, then I am the thunder storm!
I will not let Shivaji go at any cost...
If he wishes, he can send his men to Deccan.. I have no problem with that..
Thank you My Lord...
Today morning, Ram Singh took Prince Shambhu along with him to Aurangzeb's court..
Aurangzeb asked this boy...
Aren't you afraid of me?
Then this little one answered...
Hey Emperor...
I do not fear you!
Because I belive in Goddess Bhavani,
And Lord Shree Ram....
My King...
My King let me write about this!
It's an inspiring chapter for the Shiv Bharat!
You may..
But just think for a moment..
Look at this child...
The very child who faces the horrifying sultan with his head heald high, in the morning
Has now gone to sleep, Innocently.. Like anyone his age would..
My heart skips a beat... upon glancing at this innocent face...
He has grown up, motherless..
If Saibai were here today,
Many things would have been easier for me...
You think I'm the epitome of courage...
But the promise of Swarajya given to the people...
And the promise of Shambhu's safety given to Ausaheb (Queen Mother)
I always suppress my pain while enduring the stress of this...
My King...
Maharaj, these feelings, this pain is what make you a great human...
Allow me to write this too...
Shiv Bharat should not be a saga of swords...
So there must also be a call from the heart...
I will write about this...
Not only a king, but also a father escaped from the captivity of Agra...
For his child...
Write..
But let this night's conversation be silent...
No need for words..
Because...
Some feelings are not as sharp as the edge of the sword..
They are like the warmth of a father's embrace...
♪ I am looking forward to meeting you...♪
Shivba....
Aausaheb (Queen Mother) wait...
♪ I am looking forward to meeting you...♪
Shivba....
Aausaheb (Queen Mother) wait...
♪ I am looking forward to meeting you...♪
♪ I am waiting for you day and night.♪
Bhavani, mother,
Send my father-in-law and my husband home quickly...
I will offer you Laddus...
♪ I am looking forward to meeting you...♪
♪ Just as the full moon is life for the Pied Cuckoo bird,♪
♪My heart is waiting for your sight...♪
♪Like a hungry child yearning...♪
Aausaheb (Queen Mother) if you don't eat anything..
What can we do?
♪And waits for his mother...♪
Child how much longer should I wait...
I am tired now can't bear it henceforth...
♪ I am hungry for this (meeting)...♪ And where is Child Shambu...
♪ Tukaram Says... I am hungry for this (meeting)...♪
♪ O God, come quickly and bless me by showing me your face...♪
Aausaheb (Queen Mother) stop...
Aausaheb (Queen Mother) please listen...
♪ O God, come quickly and bless me by showing me your face...♪
This is not mere Vermilion!
It is the fortune of my countless daughters and the blood of my sons...
How many more sacrifices do you need?
Why did you come up with the concept of 'Swarajya'?
If you didn't want to complete it..
Give me my Shivba!
You have taken him...
You have taken him and locked him in that demon's cave...
Now bring him back to me at once!
Tell me, when will you bring him home?
I will not leave your side Until my child comes into my arms...
I am your daughter...
Until you listen to my cries..
I shall not consume a single drop of water or food...
What is the occasion for such a rare gift?
Your Highness.. This is from all the merchants of Surat city..
It happened like this..
King Shivaji attacked Surat and took it from the Mughals...
We have been suffering a lot since then...
That King Shivaji plunders our wealth and distributes it among the poor...
If we don't pay taxes then, his chief whips us, Your Highness..
He has stopped moneylending at high interest rates!
His men don't accept bribes, Nor to they let us give them out..
Now, you only tell us, Your Highness..
How will we merchants, survive without the Mughals?
Don't worry...
He will only be able to live for a few days...
Within a month,
He will be sent to Fidai Hussain Khan's mansion...
But this is–
–this is called hospitality Your Highness!
Don't forget that he is your enemy, not your relative!
Imbicile!
Don't try to teach me...
The Emperor is not sending Shivaji to that mansion for hospitality...
We are going to kill Shivaji there and send him to hell...
Naik...
What is our plan...
In Fidai Hussain's mansion,
King Shivaji's life will be in grave danger!
When Bahirji brought this news..
King Shivaji asked Bahirji, to find a solution!
Stay alert...
Don't allow anyone to enter or exit!
Even a fly shouldn't be able to move!
Stay alert...
Hey!
Stop!
Come here...
Come here!
Go catch him...catch him...
(Chattering) He was here only! Where did he go...
(Chattering) Where did he go...
(Chattering) What happend to him...
(Chattering) Where did he go...
(Chattering) Let's go we have to find him...
This is our plan to reach Deccan..
First route...
Upon crossing the Narmada river we travel through Mathura, Prayag, Gaya...
then Chandrapur, Gulbarga, Solapur and finally Rajgad....
Second route...
Mathura, Agra, Narvar Ghati.... Burahnpur, Pune & Rajgad...
And the third...
Mathura, Surat, Pune and Rajgad....
At the time of escape, we may choose any out of these..
Naik...
We must be ready for everything!
Yes..
Yes My King...
But My King... from Agra to Mathura?
Why go around the corner?
Can't we just cross the Narmada River directly?
Tanhajirao...
Wev'e played hide and seek amidst the Sahyadris for such a long time..
Now it is time to change the game, here, in Northern India..
This is a geographical statergy..
Deccan lies right below the city of Agra. That is, to the south...
And Mathura to the north...
Indeed...
Once we leave here,
The Mughals will go southwards, chasing us..
While we on the other hand will proceed North..
By doing do, we will take a longer route..
But the Mughals will think that we have moved faster and reached Deccan already..
Thus, they will return to Agra in despair...
In the mean while, we will travel from Mathura to the Deccan by a different route altogether
Though, it is not as simple as we talk about..
We must take every step carefully!
And thoughtfully...
Yes Master...
All our soldiers in this mission,
Are risking their lives!
Look at them, Naik..
Our soldier's vigour and valour must be brought back!
The fragrance of our homeland's soil...
Will help them regain their valour...
And Naik...
Only you can do that....
Hey...
Our God is being worshipped inside...
Don't interrupt!
Go...
Hey! (musical call)
Hey Naik, this song is good...
But let us hear something new.
You want to hear something new?
Then listen...
Hey! (musical call)
♪This is the guerrilla warfare of Shivaji Maharaj♪
♪ But Naik, what exactly does that mean? ♪
♪Oh, these Mughals are crooked.♪
♪Yes, these are very crooked.♪
♪And they have trapped our tiger (Shivaji Maharaj) by tricking him.♪
♪It is true...♪
♪But the roar of this tiger (Shivaji Maharaj) in the court destroyed many generations of those Mughals♪
♪Yes...♪
♪The Mughals express fear and surprise and say...♪
♪This Shiva is very dangerous...♪
♪We should not fight with this tiger (so the Mughals say to themselves)♪
♪We should not fight with these Marathas (so the Mughals say to themselves)♪
♪The enemy is so afraid of Shivaji Maharaj that he runs away upon hearing his name...♪
What's going on inside?
They are worshiping their God....
Do you want me to stop them?
No... let them continue...
Anyways every one of them is going to die soon...
♪This is the guerrilla warfare of Shivaji Maharaj♪
♪Listen, Subedar...♪
♪Swarajya is hundreds of miles away...♪
♪How will our Lord Shankar (Shivaji Maharaj) go to Rajgad Fort?♪
♪So the king devised a trick...♪
♪This Aurangzeb should be defeated only through tactics♪
♪Let's fight the enemy!♪
♪Let's fool the Mughals♪
♪To confuse the enemy...♪
♪Such a trap was set by the king♪
♪The king has started this war, like playing with death.♪
♪This is the guerrilla warfare of Shivaji Maharaj♪
♪And so, friends...♪
♪Our Shivaji Maharaj is great♪
♪Every trick of his is unique...♪
♪Bhavani Devi of Ausaheb (Queen Mother)...♪
♪She is going to protect us all♪
♪This is the king's guerrilla war, which will become famous throughout the world.♪
♪We should bring a basket of sweets to go back to the Deccan♪
♪Let's find a different way...♪
♪This is the guerrilla warfare of Shivaji Maharaj♪
(Everyone Laughs)
Ram Krishna Hari...
Ram...ram...
Ram Singh has arrived!
Ram Singh is here...
Shut up...!
(murmurs) Stay calm..
How is King Shivaji's health now?
We cen't see him in this situation..
We just can't..
Looking at his condition it feels as if he would be relieved upon leaving this place for good!
Prince Ram Singh...
Hmm...
Now there's no guarentee of my life..
Perhaps, my time has come..
(coughs) My King! please, don't say such things!
I want a favour from you..
Name it, My King..
Before leaving this world,
I wish to earn some good will and blessings by donating alms to the needy..
Will you please get the permission to–
–donate alms in mosques.. from Emperor Aurangzeb on my behalf?
(coughs)
Of course I will, My King..
I will try my best..
Just one last thing..
Please take back the guarentee that you had given Emperor Aurangzeb..
What is it this time, Ram Singh?
King Shivaji's health is deteriorating every day..
May god burn his soul in hell!
What should I do then?
Should I get medicine for him?
No, My Lord..
He just wants to donate sweets amongst the mosques and ascetics..
Baskets full of them..
In the mosques?
Yes, My Lord..
Not in the temples instead?
He had mentioned mosques, My Lord..
Alas! I can't interrupt the work for God!
No matter..
Permission is granted..
Anything else?
And.. uh..
Since King Shivaji's health is deteriorating at an alarming rate,
So, I would like to take back the guarentee that I had submitted on his behalf..
Alright..
Anyway, I have decided to spare his life..
Jafar Khan..
Yes?
Release him from the bond of guarentee..
What?
Shivaji is now my responsibility..
As you wish, Emperor..
You may leave!
Thank you, My Lord..
Faulad Khan..
Yes, my lord?
Let him hide behind the religion..
Make sure that you check each and every one of the baskets meticulously!
Yes, My Lord..
I don't trust these Marathas..
Yes, My Lord..
As days came and went, so did the baskets of sweets, regularly...
King Shivaji had sent his soldiers back home, in Deccan..
Aurangzeb became a bit careless and relaxed because of it!
Under the context of earning more good will and faith,
King Shivaji honored Kavindra Paramananda Nevaskar...
By donating him expensive jewels and an elephant..
Since Kavindra Paramananda already had the Emperors permission to leave,
He set out towards Deccan with an extremely heavy heart..
Master..
They have readied Fidai Hussain's mansion..
We only have one day in our hands now..
Death is nearing, Master..
We have to evade it anyhow..
I have never seen you so stressed before, Naik..
Uptil now, we–
–were in our motherland, 'Swarajya'
We were able to retalliate anybody..
Here,
In this foreign land..
In this enemy's den–
God forbid, if something happens to you..
(sniffles)
How will I face Aausaheb (Queen Mother) then?
Naik..
Control yourself..
(sighs wearily)
Today's the last day we have..
Tomorrw..it's...
How is King Shivaji's health now?
Have you given the medicine?
Yes I have..
Alright.. Do take rest and look after yourself..
Can't say much besides that..
His health is worsening..
I have administered some medicines and suggested that he take rest..
Is that so?
Hmm..
But what exactly has happened to him?
Cant tell, perhaps the climate in Agra didn't suit well with him..
The rest is just god's will..
He must take the medicines while rest is essential..
Let us not disturb him any further..
Let him take good rest..
Come on!
Let us go!
And that day of Shravan Vadya Dwadashi, finally dawned..
The ceremonies for Krishna Janmashtami began with Kirtan sermon..
Within the prison walls of Mathura, the divine child was born to Devaki..
But the enraged demon was already thirsting for his death!
Saving this child's life was extremely vital for the fate of the world, O Gentlemen!
And yet how could the infant escape from such brutal security?
Hey Stop...
Show the basket!
Tomorrow's night should be Shivaji's last night ever..
Yes Emperor!
(chuckles cunningly)
An impenetrable patrol encircled the prison..
Would Devaki's child escape his death or was a mother's grief written in her fate?
What would become of her child?
Would he too be slaughtered like his sibblings before..
Devaki wept silently..
Praying feverently to the God..
And just then..
She saw the bamboo basket in the corner..
It was as though God himself had shown her the path, O Gentlemen!
Devaki caressed that divine child with motherly affection..
What must have she felt at that moment?
The true trial of her motherhood had just begun..
Let's go...
Baji let's go...
No.. Let us stop all of this..
My King...
What is the matter, My King?
If it is the end, then let death befall on me!
It is not your fault that we look similar..
Please say no more, My King..
It is an honor, an opportunity that is beyond precious!
This is not a mere bed, Hiroji!
This is the death trap!
Oh?
But then if you get entraped in the same then what will happen to our 'Swarajya' My King?
I have devoted my life to you!
Rather than a common death, it is my honor to die for you..
Hm?
If death captures me on this bed...
The story of 'Swarajya' will be written with the blood I shed here..
My King..
When the tepmle of Pandurang was being built at Pandharpur, Sant Chokhamela was buried within its foundation..
Now, are we not to raise the temple of my Pandurang's 'Swarajya'?
Like Sant Chokoba, if my flesh and blood is sacrificed for 'Swarajya'..
What better fulfilment of this birth could be there, my king?
My salvation, lies in dying for you my king..
Please don't take that away from me..
But Hiroji..
Enough, My King..
Please don't waste time..
I swear to you on Aausaheb (Queen Mother)..
(sighs deeply)
O Goddess Jagadamba..( Give me strenght to bear this)
Hiroji..
Try your best..
Make sure that you return to Deccan alive..
Mind you,
I do not want another story of sacrifice like Murarbaji again..
I will be waiting for you..
My King!
And then, finally, the God's basket was lifted!
Amidst the fierce, storm tossed night, their journey began..
Hey! Halt where you are!
Keep it down!
The demons blocked the God's way..
What would happen now? What fate awaited?
The whole universe started to pray to the supreme God..
Open it!
Open all the baskets...
What is below these sweets...
Move aside...
Alright...
Why is this one closed?
Because.. uh.. its just sweets! That's why!
Yes..
I see.. But why is it closed?
You checked that one already.. then why this? Both are the same!
Shhh!
Open it!
But Khan Saheb-
Open it now!
Oh Khanderaya of Jejuri!
Oh Goddess Bhavani of Tuljapur!
Goddess Jagdamba of Pratapgad!
VIthuraya of Pandharpur!
Lord Ganpari, Moraya from Morgaon!
Oh Mahadev of Shingnapur!
Jyotiba of Kolhapur!
Oh Please come to our aid! Please help us!
Please come to help us!
Please save us!
Hey! Look at that! Catch that person!
Who is it? After him! Now!
Catch him! Go!
Go!
(muffled sounds from the chase)
Wait! Stop!
The King is asleep!
Move aside!
The King is resting! I already told you!
Move aside!
Don't you dare disturb him!
Else, I'll tell Ram Singh about the same!
Oh God!
I won't spare him!
I won't spare anybody!
Hey!
Move it!
Cease the chaos at once!
Everyone back to their places! Now!
Who was that? There?
Any idea?
How the hell did it explode?
No! No clue!
Move it!
Everyone back to their positions!
And be alert! Move it!
Oh, Khan Saheb–
Check the basket quickly.. Let us go..
Yes..Yes.. Okay
Wev'e been trying to tell you the same!
Let us leave!
Yes..
Go!
Pick it up!
And.. Send one of your soldiers with us..
Why?
The city's in chaos! Didn't you just see?
Hmm..
Hey!
You..
Go with them..
Escort them uptill the mosque
Go..
Go now!
Pick them up
Let's go..
Go!
Farewell..
Not a single basket must go unchecked!
And how the hell did that thing explode?
Somebody answer my question!
Hey.. wait!
Where to?
Hey!
Did you hit your head?
Head!
Yes..
King Shivaji's head is aching!
We're going out to get medicines for him..
Are you coming along?
No.. You may go!
Oh King..
Oh King...
Look..
The Emperor has made special provisions to escort you..
Oh King?
Faulad Khan, what is that?
What is that supposed to be?
(gasping with fear)
Urghh!
Oh my God!
King Shivaji has run away!
Oh God!
Oh my God!
King Shivaji has escaped!
Escaped?
How did he escape?
How in the world did he escape?
Perhaps with–
–the help of some ghost!
(slaps)
Idiot!
Oh God!
First thing's first.. Increase my security at once!
And present that King Shivaji before me as soon as possible!
Yes..
And–
Arrest each and every man who is travelling with a child..
Yes..
He couldn't have gotten very far..
Go now!
Yes My Lord...
Aurangzeb himself was so scared that–
–he started having nightmares..
Oh sister! What the hell are you doing here?
Oh brother,
I have heard that King Shivaji controls the ghosts from Deccan!
Since you should not be possesed by any of those ghosts
I have ordered this Bakhoor from the Dargah
Even I have heard,
But we have to stop his men first!
Command Faulad Khan to increase the palace security..
Go!
Get moving! And–
–increase the security this instant!
Y-
Y- Yes, Brother!
Only one question was bothering Aurangzeb..
How exactly did King Shivaji escape?
While, two days ago..
In a forest away from Agra..
Put it here..
Subhedar,
Have you brought the sweets?
We have brought it..
Move fast!
Yes..
Remove the bamboos..
Let us go, young Prince..
Remove the bamboos..
Untie the ropes..
Naik..
Master.. Hold him..
Naik,
Yes..
Let's go..
You go first..
Let's go..
Subhedar, you must go..
Come on let's go Be alert..
Come on... Come on...
But, how did King Shivaji escape in the first place?
Huh?
And.. Send one of your soldiers with us..
Hey!
You!
Go with them!
Escort them uptill the mosque..
Yes..
Go..
Let's go..
Farewell..
That new soldier!
Find him this instant!
Go!
Quickly!
Find him right away!
I am certain! It was that new soldier!
Come on!
I shall check all the baskets here!
Certainly.. Why not?
Yes..
Come on! Show me!
Lift the baskets!
We are already late.. come on! Pick them up!
Go forth.. come on now..
Let's go we don't have enough time...
Come on.. Let us go..
Oh God!
What is this thing?
What is it supposed to be?
King Shivaji!
What the hell were you doing then?
Both frustrated and frightened, these soldiers from the Mughal army–
–arrested Raghunath Pant and Tryambak Pant from Pratitray Harkara's house..
In order to find out about King Shivaji's whereabouts,
Aurangzeb tortured them mercilessly..
Until they reveal about Shivaji,
Don't let them sleep..
(laughs sarcastically)
(shouts in agony)
(footsteps)
Where to now, Kisna?
Yes..
Right this way..
Right this way Master!
Oblivious, even from the History,
King Shivaji and his soldiers–
–paved their way towards Deccan..
It is an extremely dangerous journey..
Are you
–King Shivaji?
No.. no my child! No!
Look closely for yourself..
He doesnt resemble King Shivaji at all..
Yes..Go! Go!
Pick him up Naik...
Alakh Niranjan! (yogic call)
To reduce such dangers arising while their journey,
Greeting King Mirza...
King Shivaji, sent Mirzaraja news through Moropant and Prataprao Gujar
We are servants of King Shivaji Raje..
Only two days ago, our King Shivaji
Reached Rajgad safely
And the effect from it was just as intended..
That Shivaji reached Deccan!
He reached Deccan!
Arrghh!
Alakh Niranjan! (yogic call)
[chorus] Alakh Niranjan! (yogic call)
Alakh Niranjan! (yogic call)
[chorus] Alakh Niranjan! (yogic call)
Alakh Niranjan! (yogic call)
[chorus] Alakh Niranjan! (yogic call)
Oh revered saints, what do you want?
We have heard great things about you!
You are like our Goddess Jagdamba herself!
This is what everyone says!
Uh..
Our Maharaj has lost something worth the entire world..
Only you can help us find it..
Parmananda..
Donate them whatever they want..
Yes Aausaheb (Queen Mother)..
Let's go...
Oh revered saints!
What are you searching for?
My mother!
Shivba..?
Shivba!
Shivba..
My Child...
(cries, overwhelmed)
Why did you made me wait for so long?
I have grown old my child!
I cannot handle this anymore my son!
Shivba!
(cries, overwhelmed)
And where is my dear little Prince Shambhu?
Hm?
Shambhu my child!
My child where are you...
Oh Shambhu!
Oh Shambhu! My child come here...
Come meet me...
Where are you hiding?
Oh Shambhu! My child!
Shambhu!
Aausaheb.. (Queen Mother)
Oh Shambhu! My child!
Aausaheb! (Queen Mother)
Hm?
Prince Shambhu–
–he is no more with us..
(gasps)
The journey home, the exertion was too much for him and–
Our prince Shambu– he–
–he couldn't survive...
You had promised me...
Shivba...
Aausaheb...(Queen Mother)
[everyone] Aausaheb! (Queen Mother)
Bring some water...
All of Swarajya was drowned in pain.
Perform the rituals...
(Chanting Mantras)
Aausaheb..(Queen Mother)
(Chanting Mantras)
Plajirao, What happened?
A great misfortune has befallen on us all My King!
My daughter, your daughter–in–law is widowed!
What more is to happen now?
I understand, but we are helpless against–
–the verdict passed by our Goddess Bhavani herself!
You speak the truth, My King..
I only have one humble request to ask of you..
Please grant me the same and emancipate me of this terrible burden..
Why?
This child..
–now this child will live a miserable life!
I cannot bear witness to it!
Instead..
Holding prince Shambhu's memoir close to her heart,
She will immolate herself! Becoming Sati...
She will become 'Sati' My King!
Rather than a lifetime of taunts..
She will proudly exit this world–
–by becoming prince Shambhu's 'Sati'!
Pilajirao!
Do you even understand what you are saying?
Yesu..
You are saying that you want to send this innocent child into a pyre?
Come here, my child..
Look after her, My Queen..
Rather than doing this, burn my heart instead!
No my king! Never!
Upon the passing of my revered father, the Great King Shahji Raje..
My respected mother, Aausaheb (Queen Mother)–
Out of love and respect, she too was going to immolate herself, for being 'Sati'
Back then, I had stopped her from doing so..
Do you know why?
May it be Aausaheb...(Queen Mother)
Or my daughter–in–law...
Or any other woman for that matter...
They bring us into this word.. They run this– our world!
I am against such bad practices that go against them!
And if you are going to sacrifice this innocent child for the sake of such regressive practice,
Then this world will witness, such a fierce form of this Shivaji..
Which no one would like to see ever..
It's not like that..
Keep in mind Plajirao!
Yesu, descending from the great clan of Shirkes, who defeated Malik Uttujar,
Won't just be my daughter–in–law..
But my very own child.. My daughter! Here on..
You must not worry!
You may leave now!
My King!
Having familial ties with you–
–is a great honor for us..
It is a great honor indeed!
(sobbing)
Allow me to take your leave, My King..
Aausaheb.. (Queen Mother)
All of you, keep this in mind!
Prince Shambhu might not be there for you..
But for me..
He is still alive..
Guruji,
You may begin!
(religious chanting and instructions)
(Aurangzeb chuckles cunningly)
I stared into that child's eyes..
I was more scared of this boy than Shivaji!
They filled me with dread!
This is exactly what should have happened!
That demonic child passed away for the good!
While Aurangzeb was busy celebrating the Prince's death,
Destiny had something else in its mind..
Aausaheb...(Queen Mother)
What kind of a jest is this?
No, Aausaheb...(Queen Mother)
May Goddess Jagdamba bless us...

How can someone be fooled this badly?
Shivaji has already escaped!
And somehow, he also managed to save his son!
Just command me, my Emperor!
I will take our army, defeat King Shivaji and–
–present him before you!
All of this is worthless, My Prince..
He has routed our army of thousands of lakhs
And forced it to retreat!
All these–
Rajput, Bundel, Pathan
Mughals, Turks, Irani
Baghdadi, Habshi, Kazhaki
Uzbegi and Westerners!
–all these mighty commanders and their troops!
King Shivaji defeated all of them!
He shattered all my reputation and buried it in hell!
Why?
Why does Shivaji win?
Do you know My Prince?
Shivaji may be crafty, treacherous, shrewd, proud, and wicked,
But his conduct–
–shines with the purity of milk and the brilliance of the sun!
Hear, My Prince!
Shivaji respects an enemy's religion, their religious scriptures and their women!
That is why his prestige rises–
–like a lofty tower, reaching out for the heavens…
There is no doubt!
I am indeed the most fortunate!
To face an enemy–
–like King Shivaji!
Emperor Muhi-ud-Din Muhammad,
Aurangzeb Ga–
Despite being upset because of the turn of events,
Aurangzeb remained adamant with his cruel nature!
Furious at King Shivaji's entry into the province of Deccan,
He killed Mirza Raja–
–having Udayaraj Munshi poison him..
He also had Mirza Raja's son Ram Singh sent away to defend their empire!
Surely, this must be the consequence for those who act treacherously against their homeland!
