[Someshwar] Prithvi!
[tense music playing]
[unsettling music playing]
[wincing]
Father, I merely came to find out the reason
so I could help you.
And you could serve justice.
[soft dramatic music playing]
Prithviraj, you'd killed a wolf.
How come killing a deer is hurting you so much?
It's because the deer posed no threat.
I killed it by accident.
Using your might on the meek and considering yourself powerful
is an act of cowardice
and weakness.
It's all right.
The wound is not too deep.
I'll have the physician treat it.
You're not angry!
Nor did you rebuke me.
Yes.
It's because I know your intentions weren't wrong.
You made a mistake.
You were trying to help me
and find a solution to the villagers' problem.
After the physician tends to its wound,
I will release it back into the forest.
Always remember, Prithvi.
In spite of having good intentions,
humans make mistakes at times.
Learn to control your thoughts.
I won't do it again, Father.
I promise you.
[sentimental music playing]
Wait, Hariraj.
That is not your pawn.
I will play on Prithviraj's behalf.
Someone has to move the pawn.
If only we had another player in Prithvi's stead.
Princess Sanyogita, will you play?
We are short of one player.
Yes, play in Prtihvi's stead.
Why should I play in someone else's stead?
Did he inform me before leaving?
Play with him once he's back.
What happened? Why aren't you playing?
I didn't do anything, Mother.
She got angry for no reason.
We asked her to play, that's all.
What is the matter?
You can tell me whatever it is.
Father said we're returning to Kannauj the day after tomorrow.
Prithvi will be back by then.
I'm not crying for Prithvi.
Then why are you crying?
I...
I'm crying because...
Because I will miss you a lot.
Really!
No problem.
I will come to Kannauj to see you.
[sentimental music playing]
I'll bring Prithvi along
to look after me.
[sentimental music playing]
Where is Prithvi now?
No matter where he is,
he will return with loads of stories to narrate.
[joyous music playing]
Does everyone remember what to do?
Yes, we remember everything.
Remember this, Prithvi.
One mistake on your part could cost us dearly.
When there won't be any mistakes, then why worry?

Father!
[sentimental vocalisation]
[patting]
Prithviraj, you very courageously put your life on the line
to save the lives of others.
Today, you proved
you are worthy of being the future king of Ajmer.
[vocalisation]
I am proud of you.
[tiger growling]
[soft growling]
Village chief, this isn't a tiger. It's a tigress.
Deal with this man-eating tigress at the earliest.
Prithvi, what do you think
ought to be done?
[roaring]
[growling]
Why have you left this menace here?
Why don't you kill it?
My son Prithviraj will tell you why.
Prithvi!
Yes, Father.
What do you think
should be done with the tigress?
[pensive music playing]
No, Father.
I couldn't think of anything.
[growling]
So, I spoke to the tigress.
You spoke to the tigress!
What did it say?
It said that someone had stolen her cubs.
[dramatic music playing]
[growling continues]
The tigress said
when it tried to stop the thief,
the latter attacked and wounded it.
It wasn't coming here to attack.
It was looking for its cubs.
Are you saying one of the villagers stole the tigress' cubs?
What is going on?
Are you out of your minds?
How can a human being talk to an animal?
[growling]
The tigress even revealed the name of the thief to me.
[unsettling music playing]
Really!
What a great show!
But no one will believe your stories.
Even if no one else does,
my father will certainly believe me
because he knows that I would never lie.
'I am innocent, Father. I didn't say anything to him.'
'Please believe me.'
'I'd never lie to you.'
What's his name?
Who stole the tigress's cubs?
[soft growl]
The person who stole the tigress's cubs...
[growling]
The one who attacked it...
[suspenseful music builds]
Their name is...
[suspenseful music continues]
Mahat Singh!
[dramatic music playing]
[growling]
[gripping music playing]
[swooshing]
[thudding]
Catch him!
[music continues]
Check his house.
He might have hidden the cubs there.
[gripping music playing]
[music peaks and fades out]
[sombre music playing]
[growling]
[rattling]
[joyous music playing]
[music fades out]
This tigress was wounded as well as hurt.
Hence, it attacked the village.
But Mahat Singh...
Mahat Singh had no reason
to snatch a mother's babies.
Mahat Singh caused great suffering to the tigress's cubs
by taking them away from their mother.
No one should have the right
to snatch children from their parents.
And if someone does that,
it will be the greatest sin.
Such a person deserves to be punished.
I agree with you, Prithvi.
Mahat Singh has caused immense pain to a mother and her children.
Hold him captive and take him to Ajmer
where he shall be imprisoned for life.
Who are you to punish me?
[dramatic music playing]
[song playing]
The ruler of Ajmer,
King Someshwar Chauhan!
[vocalisation]
[vocalisation concludes]
Prithvi!
I found it a bit odd when you said
the tigress spoke to you
because a tigress wouldn't speak to a person.
I wish to know
your motive behind speaking this lie.
You asked me what to do with the tigress.
Remember? I kept looking at the tigress
and wondered why it frequented the village.
Was it to feed itself?
Because tigers and tigresses don't kill for entertainment.
And this tigress didn't kill anyone and eat them.
So, it couldn't have been to feed itself.
I noticed a wound on its body.
It wasn't by another animal.
It seemed like someone attacked it with a sharp weapon.
Then I remembered
'that when we went to the forest to look for the tigress,'
'I noticed something.'
'The paw prints of the tigress's cubs.'
But I didn't see the cubs anywhere.
[growling]
'When I was in the hut with Mahat Singh,'
'the tigress kept staring at Mahat Singh and growling.'
[soft dramatic music playing]
Then it struck me
I had heard the mewing of tiger cubs from Mahat Singh's hut.
I thought it was a cat.
So, I made up a story.
Everyone believed me
including Mahat Singh.
Father, please forgive me for lying.
Yes.
You did lie.
But your intention wasn't to hurt anyone.
You lied so that this village
could be relieved of this problem
and a mother would get her children back.
If a lie is spoken for the well-being of others,
I do not consider it a crime.
I'm proud of you.
[sentimental vocalisation]
[tigress growling]
[sentimental vocalisation]
What are you doing here?
Go to your mother.
I have to return with my father.
[chuckles]
[soft growl]
[joyous music playing]
[sentimental music playing]
[music concludes]
What happened? Why the long face?
We will reach the royal palace in a while.
So what?
Aren't you happy to be going home?
I loved everything we did together,
but the moment we reach the palace, you will behave like a king.
[poignant music playing]
What do you mean by I will behave like a king?
Yes! Upon reaching the palace, you'll be the King of Ajmer
and my father will be gone.
