[Karpura] 'Tell me something.'
When you left the royal palace,
did Shakti Singh come for you?
Yes, Mother.
He did come for me, but...
[music playing]
Something seems off.
I need your help
to get to those people.
To the murderers
who killed Father by deceit.
[ominous music playing]
I knew this is what would happen if he survived.
Now, he'll be a thorn in the flesh.
What help do you need?
First, answer my questions.
What questions?
Mother said you went looking for me.
Then where did you meet Father?
And why did just the two of you come to rescue me from the dacoits?
Why wasn't a single soldier with you?
Um, yes.
I did go looking for you
but I didn't know where you'd gone.
I went quite far looking for you
and ran into your father.
Then we began looking for you together
and reached a cave.
Did Father return alone from the battle?
Yes, he had to go to Ajmer for some urgent work.
'Is there a problem, Your Majesty?'
'Subhao!'
'I have to leave for Ajmer immediately.'
So, he left alone.
That's what your father mentioned.
Urgent work?
Did he say what it was?
[disconcerting music playing]
Shakti Singh!
First, I need to find those dacoits.
Only then will I know why they wanted to kill Father.
[tense music playing]
Do you remember anything about the dacoits
that will help us identify them?
[disconcerting music playing]
- Um, the dacoits... - Shakti Singh!
Prithvi!
What are you doing here?
[sinister music playing]
Is everything all right?
No, Nagarjuna.
Nothing's fine.
I must find Father's murderers.
[dramatic music playing]
We will find them and apprehend them.
Prithvi!
There are many gangs in Ajmer.
How will we know who the dacoits were?
Do you remember anything?
Weren't you there?
You must have seen or heard something. Anything at all.
Um...
[music playing]
A face.
[disconcerting music playing]
Do you remember anything or heard anything consequential?
[music playing]
No problem, Prithvi.
When I become the king of Ajmer,
I'll hunt those dacoits down and kill them.
[sinister vocalisation]
[vocalisation fades out]
Come on. Go now, Prithvi.
You've been through enough already.
Leave this to me.
Just try to recollect the face you'd seen there.
Go now.
[music playing]
If he finds even a single clue,
he will uncover the entire web.
We must be vigilant.
Say what you want,
but Someshwar Chauhan did one good thing before he died.
He rendered Ghiyassuddin incapacitated.
I won't have to worry about him.
[menacing music playing]
[vocalisation]
- [grunting] - [thudding]
From now on, I have just one obsession.
India!
Mohammed Ghori promises you, Ghiyassuddin.
Only you will sit
on Delhi's throne.
Only you!
[grunting]
[rattling]
[laughing]
Why are you laughing?
Uh...
Uh, it wasn't funny.
It's just,
how will he sit on Delhi's throne in this condition?
[ominous vocalisation]
Ghiyassuddin was absolutely right.
This addiction is the worst.
[ominous music playing]
[thudding]
[ominous vocalisation]
I need five daredevils.
I will go to India.
[music playing]
[music intensifies]
[door creaks open]
[bird chirping]
[menacing music playing]
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
That is why you're here.
Who else have you called?
[music intensifies]
The royal priest Brijmohan.
The treasury in charge Chiranjeevi.
And our Prime Minister Vijay Singh.
Thank you all for coming here.
As Mother said,
desperate times call for desperate measures.
Ajmer's throne can't be vacant, can it?
Ajmer needs a capable ruler
and you can't expect that from a child like Prithvi.
Just imagine.
Will the army take orders from an eleven-year-old boy?
Someshwar Chauhan was different.
He was my father's brother.
He being the king was acceptable to me.
But Prithviraj, Queen Karpura Devi, Bhuvanikamal and Kaimasa
don't even belong to Ajmer!
They are outsiders.
Should we hand Ajmer's throne to outsiders?
Shakti Singh, the time has come to choose sides.
[sinister vocalisation]
Me
or Prithviraj?
[vocalisation concludes]
[music playing]
I remember half of it.
But how did the rest look?
[music playing]
Yes, it was something like this.
[music playing]
I will find him with the help of this drawing.
Prithvi is like a bird.
He's naive
and immature.
He hasn't even sprouted wings so he can fly,
and he wants to rule Ajmer!
But he doesn't know
that if he tries to soar in the sky,
eagles and vultures will eat him alive!
[intense music playing]
Will you be able to see Ajmer in such grave peril?
What about the royal dynasty?
On seeing a child on the throne,
will they take Ajmer seriously as they did before?
Can Prithviraj fight wars as my father did?
A person who hasn't spent any time in Ajmer
knows nothing about its people's needs.
Ajmer needs stability, Shakti Singh. Stability!
And I will bring that stability.
I will make Ajmer capable and powerful.
If you harbour true loyalty towards Ajmer,
if you really are Ajmer's well-wisher,
then you will help and support me
by preventing Prithvi from becoming the king.
[sinister vocalisation]
You will stand by me.
[ominous vocalisation]
This is the symbol
I saw on the dacoit's arm.
[ominous music playing]
I think
this is their gang's symbol.
[ominous music playing]
I have
also seen this symbol somewhere.
Such symbols are prominent in the area
where Someshwar Chauhan grew up.
Had His Majesty been alive,
he'd have recognised this symbol.
[ominous vocalisation]
[ominous music playing]
Eat well, brothers.
An empty plate!
In the future,
for fighting the Chauhans,
you are going to need strength.
Eat.
[coughing]
[dal dripping]
[thudding]
[sinister music playing]
What happened?
Only his food contained poison.
Why are you scared?
Don't you know
that fear is not in our nature?
You are brothers.
My brothers.
And a brother that betrays
must die.
Or his greed
will open the door to our destruction.
Understood?
What had he done?
He went astray.
If you ever feel
that I too have gone astray,
then use this on me.
Death is way better than living a life of cowardice.
As for our goal.
Until now, all our attempts have been successful.
Wait till Nagarjuna is coronated.
Just as Nagarjuna graces the throne,
he will give us the rights to our land.
He will give us our free land back.
And he will also give us Tribhuvanapala Fort.
What's special about Tribhuvanapala, Chief Amrapal?
The fort is vital.
Don't you know its significance?
It is the entry point into India.
And one who owns it will have the power
to bring even Ajmer to its knees!
What if Prithviraj becomes the king
instead of Nagarjuna?
Then we will do
what no one must have even imagined.
[chalk scraping]
Reconsider it.
The plan is very dangerous.
This fight is about our identity.
I am ready to take on any danger.
Rest assured.
This battle will only take place if Prithviraj becomes the king.
And its chances are very slim.
[music playing]
[sentimental song playing]
[wincing]
'You easily did'
'what I could never have thought of.'
'I am proud of your thinking,'
'sagacity and valour, Prithviraj.'
[sentimental song continues]
'If I've made a mistake'
'or prioritised my duties as king'
'and faltered as a father,'
'I apologise to you.'
[sentimental music playing]
[music playing]
[nostalgic music playing]
'Everyone who is born'
'is bound to die.'
'Every person has a certain lifespan'
'and in that, their own story.'
'Once that story ends,'
'they ascend to the sky'
'and become a star.'
'I remember the day I got lost at the Pushkar Fair...'
'I prayed to Goddess Shakambhari...'
'You must find your own way'
'to fulfil your desires, Prithviraj.'
Please allow me to go, Mother.
Why now, son?
I'll go along with you after a few days.
No, Mother.
I miss Father terribly.
I couldn't even say goodbye to him properly.
At least I will get some peace
by visiting the place where he grew up.
Son!
The successor to the throne is going to be announced in two days.
It's an important day
not just for Ajmer, but all the kingdoms.
Go after that.
I'll return by then, Mother.
Believe me. Please let me go.
[tense music playing]
All right.
But you won't go alone.
Subhao will go with you.
And both of you will go dressed as commoners
so that no one suspects you.
All right?
Please don't worry, Mother.
No matter where I go,
Father will always be watching over me.
[music playing]
[vocalisation]
Forgive me for lying, Mother,
but I will find Father's murderers at all costs.
[vocalisation fades out]
