[sombre music playing]
The king is akin to a father.
And the subjects are like children.
I know that, whenever
any kind of threat is faced by the king,
it is natural for the people to be worried about the king
and also to feel
insecurity and fear.
But just like how a child gets strength from their father,
a father also gets strength from his children.
All of you are the source of the king's strength.
And I, Someshwar Chauhan, the king's brother,
will keep the king, this soil
and all of you safe.
I will not let anything happen to you.
This is Someshwar Chauhan's promise.
Hail, Goddess Bhawani.
- Hail, Goddess Bhawani. - Hail, Goddess Bhawani.
I have brought it for the king from Goddess Bhawani's temple.
[vocalisation]
[dramatic music playing]
- Hail, Goddess Bhawani. - Hail, Goddess Bhawani.
Mother, I know that it was a bad dream.
Mother, I want to meet father.
But I also know that he has a lot of work.
That's why I will wait for him.
[mellow music playing]
[solemn vocalisation]
My father was saying,
that if everyone had listened to Prithviraj sooner
then those Ghurids would be caught.
Then, none of this would have happened.
But Prince Bheemadev,
if the Ghurids have managed to reach the palace,
and attacked the king
then how are the citizens safe?
Yes, I agree that everyone should have listened to Prithviraj,
but we have found out the truth now.
That's why we will become even more alert.
And we won't let anything happen to anyone.
[chuckling softly]
She's talking as if
she has taken the responsibility of the security of Ajmer.
And it feels like she's going to
tell all of us what to do.
[giggling]
But how can he protect anyone
whose sword is upside down in its sheath?
Upside down? It's not upside down.
It's crooked, that's why it looks like this.
How can a sword go inside the sheath, upside down?
Have you even seen a sword before this?
[laughing]
Come, Prithvi. Bow down to Princess Sanyogita.
She's going to protect the entire state now.
She won't let anything happen to us.
That's how she's talking.
[laughing]
She's not talking about herself.
She's talking about all of us together.
That's what is happening.
All the kings want to protect Ajmer.
- Are you on our side or her side? - Are you on our side or her side?
[mellow music playing]
We will only listen to the prince and no one else.
- What do you say, Prince Bheemadev? - Yes.
But Prithvi has agreed to what I said.
That means both of you also have to listen to me.
Then I don't want to play this game.
[tense music playing]
Where is uncle?
I hope he's okay.
The blood pressure is fine.
His breathing is also normalised.
It can be said that the crisis is now over.
I suggest you also rest for a while.
I'm here with the king. There's no need to worry.
Do you think I can rest after seeing His Majesty in this condition?
It's your responsibility to save the king.
The responsibility of the security of entire Ajmer is in your hands.
There should be no mistake.
That's why it's important that you rest.
I want to spend some time alone with the king.
Please go.
[sinister music playing]
The attack has been on the king of Ajmer.
But it has affected
the honour and respect of all of us Kshatriyas.
Why is there such a delay in taking revenge for this audacity of the Ghurids?
We must attack the Ghurids as soon as possible.
- Yes. - Yes, we agree.
I also agree with you.
Of course.
Your Majesty.
This attack was not only on us Kshatriyas.
The attack was on the invulnerability of India
And we will certainly respond to it.
But before that, we have to find out
where the Ghurids are.
Where have they set up camps?
We must be patient, King of Chalukya.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Your Highness, this is the third time the queen has sent word.
She wants to talk to you.
Your Majesty, we don't know what new challenges will dawn tomorrow.
More strength will be needed.
I request you all to rest.
[dramatic music playing]
This is a mother's request.
I hope Hariraj and Prithvi are okay.
Prithvi is your son.
He's brave like you.
Fear does not even touch him.
But today, his courage was quivering.
I saw fear for the first time in his eyes today.
The fear of losing his father.
His father is his world.
You are everything to him.
He has seen his uncle engulfed in flames. And then in his dreams
he saw you also burning.
I don't want all this for my sons, Your Highness.
Keep courage, my queen.
This is a testing time for all of us.
Ever since we have come to Ajmer, every part of my being is screaming
and saying that our family should go back from here.
We are not safe here. Nor is anyone else.
I'm here with you.
Have faith in me.
I don't want to trust anyone.
I'm not able to trust anyone. I just want to go back from here.
My queen, I cannot leave Ajmer in this condition, and go back.
Promise me
that the moment you finalise the security in Ajmer
you will take me back from here.
Promise me.
[sinister music playing]
A father is a son's guide, his protector.
He is his son's ideal.
But I have only got darkness in your shadow, Your Majesty.
I always tried
that I become the son that you are proud of.
To become the son that you always wanted.
[sniffling]
But you were never able to see me.
How could you see me?
One of your eyes saw only Apargangeya
and your other eye saw only your younger brother.
One of them can never make any mistake.
And the other one is full of good qualities.
That leaves me with no place.
Or did you never want to give me any place, at all?
I used to get irritated.
I would get very angry with you.
Seeing your behaviour
sometimes it seems that I have started despising you
more than how much you despise me.
Even then,
my ears are yearning to hear you say,
'Nagarjuna, I'm proud of you.'
'You are the next successor.'
[dramatic music playing]
The king's pulse has slowed down drastically.
It's impossible. This cannot happen.
I'm sure something is wrong.
What do you mean, something is wrong, physician?
You said that Dadabhai's condition is now stable.
Yes, Your Highness. That was the truth. But...
His Majesty has given in to the struggle of his body.
It's quite unusual.
Nothing should happen to the king.
His Majesty...
[suspenseful music playing]
Nagarjuna.
He's calling you.
[dagger lashing]
[heavy breathing]
Someshwar.
Only Someshwar.
Yes, Dadabhai.
[dramatic music playing]
[song playing]
[song continues playing]
Someshwar, you are
the next king of Ajmer.
[song playing]
[song continues playing]
Dadabhai.
Dadabhai...
Physician...
His Majesty is no more.
[solemn vocalisation]
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty...
Your Majesty.
[solemn vocalisation]
His Majesty is no longer in this mortal world.
But his fame will remain immortal.
[solemn music playing]
[birds chirping]
Death is an inevitable truth.
As the context changes, its effect changes.
The conch is blown when an enemy dies on the battlefield.
But the death of a loved one causes great sadness in our thoughts.
That was the saddest day of Ajmer
when King Vigraharaj gave up his life
due to treachery and cowardice.
For the first time, 11-year-old Prithvi
saw a loved one die, from such close quarters.
He had become numb at that moment
and the fear of death was deeply ingrained in his childhood mind.
He became worried about his father's safety.
That, when his father sits on the throne
will he be able to protect him from the enemies who were inside and outside?
'45 days later'
[solemn music playing]
'This is the throne of Ajmer, Someshwar.'
'It is the honour of the Chauhan lineage.'
'It is respected due to the sacrifices made by our ancestors.'
'You will become the king of Ajmer.'
'This throne is yours.'
[solemn vocalisation]
Why did uncle die?
Why couldn't we save him, father?
Because we are humans, Prithvi.
Not God.
Birth and death are in the hands of God.
The eternal truth is, if a human has taken birth
then his death is also certain.
Every human has a life span.
And he has a story in that life span.
As soon as the story ends
he shifts to the skies
as a star.
Your uncle was targeted by the Ghurids.
Because Ajmer was not ready to bow down before them.
And it was planning on how to defeat them.
Your uncle
sacrificed his life for his motherland.
He became immortal.
This is the honour of us Kshatriyas.
Will uncle never meet me again?
Will I not be able to see him again?
[sombre music playing]
Our ancestors,
don't go away from us even after they die.
We are a part of them.
That's why they continue to live within us.
In our upbringing
which we have got from them.
In the soil of our motherland
which bears their footprints.
In their memories, which makes the stories of our lives more beautiful.
Prithvi, just remember
that you, your life span
and your story
are not ordinary.
Goddess Earth came in your mother's dreams
and announced your arrival.
[vocalisation]
You were born amidst
[lions growling]
the roaring lions as they protected you.
[baby crying]
The goal of your life
is monumental.
Always remember this,
whether I'm with you or not.
[triumphant music playing]
Go. Nagarjuna needs you.
[sombre music playing]
Nagarjuna.
You loved your father a lot.
I know it.
I also feel sad when my father scolds me.
But I know that everything will be fine as long as he's here.
No problem is big when he's around.
But now, he...
[dramatic vocalisation]
Nagarjuna, you have always supported Hari and me.
You have protected us.
And taken care of us.
- I will take care of you from now on. - Prithvi.
Give me some time.
There's a lot that has to be said, done and understood.
Leave me alone for some time.

[tense music playing]
What crime has he committed?
Fountain.
Yes.
Yes, brother.
Today morning,
Haseena told me
that she's not happy in this barren land.
And she had tears in her eyes as she spoke.
I couldn't see that, brother.
That's why I thought
that I will build the world's most beautiful fountain
for the world's most beautiful woman.
And to cheer her up
I will present a garden
for Haseena, in this desert.
He's an expert with these things.
How soon can you make this?
One... One month.
One week.
Just one week, my Lord.
[vocalisation]
Both Jalaluddin and Jaalib failed.
One king has been killed, brother.
There's no need to worry about the others.
Miandad will complete that work.
And I've told you earlier, too
that there is no use of ruling over India.
It's better we loot it completely
and make our land like heaven.
My child,
how long will you keep installing fountains in the desert?
That is the land of idol worshippers
and there are so many treasures of worship there that
one life would not be enough to plunder them, my child.
I don't want to loot and run like Ghazni,
instead, I want to rule over India.
And I will do that.
For that, I have to
include Turk and Ghazni soldiers in our army
And I want you to do this task, my child.
Without wasting any time.
Brother, one more week.
Let Haseena smile once.
You have all your life for love, my child.
It is foolishness to put your task aside
for the sake of your love.
[birds chirping]
'We must go from here, Your Highness.'
'I don't know why, but I'm feeling very scared.'
'Promise me, the moment you finalise the security in Ajmer'
'you will take me back from here.'
[anklets jingling]
[vocalisation]
I'm sorry, my queen,
that I could not fulfil the promise I made to you.
I did not say it, just for the sake of saying.
I too wanted to go back from Ajmer.
But it was beyond anyone's imagination that within a few moments
everything will change.
My queen, fulfilling my brother's last wish
is my duty
and the righteous thing to do.
It's okay.
There is no need to say anything. I understand.
Whatever you did not want,
and I did not want, has happened.
[solemn music playing]
All the Kshatriyas and the citizens
are looking at you with a new hope.
We cannot look back now.
You are fulfilling your duty
towards your ancestors and your motherland.
I will stand with you as your strength, always.
I promise to cooperate with you in fulfilling your responsibilities.
[triumphant music playing]
The welfare of his kingdom and subjects
is the priority of the King of Ajmer.
But always remember
that you have two sons, too.
They need you.
Especially, Prithvi.
He has been waiting for his father to pat his back.
[anklets jingling]
Why are you smiling all alone?
I see your father is getting ready for the coronation.
Yes. And father will wear the crown in the palace court.
My father will look like the king of kings. Wait and see.
[joyous music playing]
I will try, my queen,
that the shadow of the king's crown
does not cause an eclipse on the relationship between Prithvi and me.

Where is Nagarjuna?
In the place where he should be.
[eerie music playing]
[anklets jingling]
In today's meeting,
everyone will take an oath of loyalty to someone else.
That's why I have brought
some loyal men for you.
[triumphant music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
'This throne is yours.'
[song playing]
[song continues playing]
See, didn't I tell you?
My father will look like the king of kings after wearing the crown.
[song playing]
[song continues playing]
You know Chiranjeev.
He's the exchequer head of Ajmer.
Bhadrak. He has his own army.
He's ready to lend you his army
when he gets rightly paid for it.
Fiazuddin is a Persian trader.
He has deep connections with the Ghurids.
And these three promise you
that they will snatch the crown from Someshwar Chauhan's head
and make you sit on the throne.
- All hail the King of Ajmer, Rana Someshwar Chauhan. - All hail.
[solemn music playing]
Our ancestors made many sacrifices for this throne.
My penance will be to maintain its dignity.
That throne was mine, is mine and will forever remain mine.
My father has paid the price for sitting on the throne.
I'm ready to sacrifice anyone,
for this throne.
Taking Goddess Shakambhari as witness, I take a pledge
that till my last breath, I will protect this kingdom
and serve the citizens.
Because my happiness and sorrows lie in their happiness and sorrows.
I have written only sadness in your life, Someshwar Chauhan.
Because you will regret
the deceit that you have done to me.
This land is our mother.
And I vow to shatter
the ego of any power
that dares to look at our mother.
[dagger lashing]
This battle is for the rights.
When I did not spare my father and brother, who are you, after all?
Sitting on the throne is going to prove to be your biggest mistake.
I promise
that I will shed the last drop of my blood
to protect all the religions
and places of worship on this sacred land of ours.
No intruder, no evildoer
will be able to pollute our sacred land as long as I am alive.
Wait and watch,
how I will have my coronation
with your blood.
Together with all you Kshatriyas
I promise to protect the honour and respect of India.
[sword lashing]
Hail, Goddess Bhawani.
- Hail, Goddess Bhawani. - Hail, Goddess Bhawani.
Hail, Goddess Bhawani.
All hail.
'I will crown myself.'
'I will kill Someshwar and become the next king of Ajmer.'
Someshwar Chauhan will take over
the throne of Ajmer under the shadow of an increasing threat
from the Ghurids and internal conspiracies.
After becoming the king, will Someshwar Chauhan
be able to fulfil his royal duties
along with his duties as a father?
How will the future of Ajmer be?
Only time will tell.
Valour is worshipped everywhere,
it brings glory to the nation.
