In Kansa's dungeon..
..Devaki is weeping for her eighth son.
All around her is..
..the darkness of Kansa's black deeds.
The only ray of hope..
..is across the Yamuna.
The moon rises..
..only when it has to.
A cloud in the sky may hide it..
..but it is there.
The black cloudsin Mathura's sky are hiding the moon..
..but it can be seen in Nandgaon's clear sky.
Devaki's moon-like son..
..has risen in Yashoda's house..
..Yashoda is now singing him to sleep.
"Yashodha swings Lord's cradle."
"She showers love on him."
"She sings lullabies for him."
"Yashodha swings Lord's cradle."
"May my son fall asleep!"
"Why isn't the sleep coming?"
"Why don't you come soon?"
"My son is calling you."
"Yashodha swings Lord's cradle."
"Lord has closed his eyes long ago."
"He is waiting for the sleep to come."
"He is silent, but hasn't fallen asleep yet."
"He is waiting for the sleep to come."
"Yashodha swings Lord's cradle."
"Lord is in the cradle."
"Yashodha is singing lullabies for her dear son."
"She can't be in peace till he falls asleep."
"Yashodha swings Lord's cradle."
O God! This is Yashoda's son!
Why are you eating mud?
No grandma!
Yashoda? Come Here!
Your son is eating mud.
Come out Yashoda!
Come son! Come with me!
Come with me to your mother.
Come with me. Wait there!
Wait there! Wait!
Wait!
Come! Come!
- Yashoda your son is eating mud. - Come! Come!
Mud?
- Did you eat mud Kanha? - No.
Tell me?
I had come to tell you that Savitri his son.
Here. Take care of your son.
Did you eat mud?
Open your mouth. Open your mouth..
What's this Yashoda?
I am patting my son.
Okay. Come here Kanha.
I won't let him go.
This is an injustice. He is also my.
No. He is mine. Only mine.
I'll steal him one day.
I was only joking.
I don't like such jokes.
I cannot live without him for a minute.
Do not be so attached to him.
Why not?
Silly girl!
Trying to capture sunlight.
Weeping does not solve any problems.
It is easier said that done!
If you were a mother..
..and had seen the death of six sons..
..you would never have said..
..that crying does not solve any problems.
My tears are not searching for a solution.
In fact, these are not tears.
This is the milk..
..that my sons were denied.
This is my motherhood which is flowing.
I know my son is in Gokul..
..being looked after by Yashoda.
I know he is safe there.
But how do I explain this to the mother in me?
I am a mother of eight sons..
..but if anyone were to ask me..
..how to look after them..
..I would have to confess that I do not know.
Do not worry my dear.
Everything woll be okay.
I do not want to insult Yashoda by worring..
..but allow me a mother's right to weep.
"Awake O Prince of Braj."
"The lotus has bloomed to welcome you."
"The bumble bee, escaping from the lotus.."
"..now flutters amongst the creepers."
"Awake O Prince of Braj.."
"The birds twitter in the forest.."
"..breaking the morning silence."
"Cows moo in the sheds.."
"..as they suckle their calves."
"Awake O Prince of Braj."
"The moon sets and the Sun rises.."
"..as men and women sing."
"Awake.."
"The moon sets and the sun rises.."
"..as men and women sing."
"Poet Surdas welcomes the new morning."
"Awake Krishna, O Holder of The Lotus."
"The bumble bee, escaping from the lotus.."
"..now flutters amongst the creepers."
"- Awake Krishna. - Awake Krishna."
"O Prince of Braj."
"- O Prince of Braj. - O Prince of Braj."
Kanha. Catch hold of him.
Aren't you hungry Shraadhama. Let's eat butter.
Of course, I am hungry. Let's go.
Let's go, Shyam.
My stomach's full but my heart is not content.
Let's go. There's no shortage of butter here.
Listen Paro.
Yes mother.
Take this milk.
Yes mother.
Close the door.
You'll never know when Kanha will turn up.
I don't understand you mother.
You are uneasy if he comes and restless when he doesn't.
You just close the door and fill water.
Yes mother.
Respects grandma.
Come son.
Wher'e's Kanha today?
He hasn't come.
- Why not? - How do I know?
Your cow gives a lot of milk grandma.
This is nothing son!
It is only half of what she gave earlier.
Is that so!
The cows were production when Ugrasen was king.
You could bathe in milk than..
..God knows what has happened now..
..but the cows are not yielding as much.
Now don't you cast an evil eye on my cows.
O Kanha wait a minute.
I'III take you to task today.
Wait. Here I come! Dear, wait there.
Wait there. How can you escape?
Once I catch you, I'll teach you a lesson.
Hey, where are you running? Wait!
Wait! Kanha, wait.
Wait there.
I'll teach you a lesson.
Kanha.
This boy really harasses me.
Kanha has let loose the cows.
Doesn't your father own cows. Why not free them?
I free them too.
But what have I done?
Why don't you allow the calves to drink milk?
First the calves will drink and then the children.
What about Mathura?
There's no need to send milk to Mathura.
Come.
Respects grandma.
O God. Give some sense to the boy.
There's no point in telling Yashoda anything.
Why are you sad?
I am thinking of Devaki.
Go and see her tomorrow.
Yes. I'll do that..
..but you know that..
..I cannot bear to see their condition.
They haven't seen the Sun or Moon in many years..
..and I am here in Nandgaon..
..enjoying life to the full.
Isn't it my duty to be with them..
..and share their sorrow?
No. Your place is here..
..your duty is to raise Balram.
Do not torment yourself.
Sleep and dream of the better days to come.
Sleep now.
Devaki!
What's it Devaki? Why aren't you sleeping?
It seems Kanha is still awake.
Why? Why do you feel so?
Because I cannot sleep.
I hope he is not unwell.
No. If that was so..
..Rohini would have informed us.
Do not worry about him.
He is born to end all worries.
But why is he awake?
Yashoda might be tellinghim an interesting story.
It's late now. Go to sleep my dear
How can I sleep without a Story?
Like Balram!
That's different
Don't be stubborn Kanha. You are harassing me
Don't you like me harassing you?
I like everything about you
- Even my mischief? - Yes
- Breaking pots? - Yes.
My stealing butter?
Yes my darling. Yes.
- Tell me a story mother. - Okay, listen.
Once there was a king..
Which place?
Any place. What does it matter?
How many times have I told you not to interrupt me.
But you don't listen.
He was the King of Ayodhya named Dashrath.
Is there anything else you want to know?
No, mother. I understood it.
He had three queens and four sons.
Ram, Laxman, Bharatand Shatrughan.
Ram was the eldest but..
..Bharat's mother Kaikeyi..
..extracted a promise from the King.
Ram honoured his father's promise.
It's better to die than break a promise given.
Ram was exiled while Bharat was crowned king.
However, Bharat went to forest to call back Ram.
When Ram refused, Bharat started penance.
Ram was at Panchvati with younger brother..
..Laxman and wife Seeta.
One day a demon king..
..disguised as a golden deer passed the cottage.
Seeta told Ram that she wanted the deer.
As he left the cottage Ram told..
..Laxman to look after Seeta.
This was the trick played by Ravan, King of Lanka
Moments later Seeta heard Ram scream
She asked Laxman to rush to his brother's help.
Laxman drew a circle around the hut
But when Ravan, disguised as a Sage, came..
..Seeta crossed the protective circle..
..and Ravan kidnapped her.
Seta called out to her lord..
Laxman where's my bow?
Where are my arrows?
What's wrong son?
What are you doing? Go to sleep.
What's it Yashoda?
Why's Kanha shouting?
God knows why!
He was playing as Ram and wanted his bow.
I was afraid. Sleep now.
Hide the butter.
Yashoda's son will be here soon.
Hide the butter..
Okay mother. You go now.
Hang it up in a pot.
Okay mother.
Going home!
Listen Kanha!
What are you doing here?
Waiting for our friends so that we can play.
Withpout eating my butter?
No! Mother will scold me.
It is my butter..
..why should Yashoda scold you?
Paro has hung up butter in a pot.
She was saying that she will not give you he butter..
..however much you insist.
But I am telling you to go there and eat. Go.
Kanha.. kanha!
Forgive us Kanha.
We are late.
Let's go and play.
Let's eat butter first.
Paro's mother has called us.
That's good news. Let's go.
- Let's eat butter. - Come, let's go.
Come on!
No Kanha! No butter today.
Don't lie. I can smell it!
Listen to me Kanha! Listen!
Come!
Remove the covering.
Bring down the pot.
Give!
Don't eat the butter Kanha.
What should I do? Wear it?
Mother will scold me. Why don't you listen Kanha?
We all are going to eat this butter.
But my mother will scold me
So what? Can't you bear that for my sake.
Come. Come.
Come Shamsakha. You also eat.
- Paro! Did Kanha come? - Yes mother.
Did he eat the butter?
I don't understand you mather.
First you tell me hide the butter and then..
..when he comes you are uneasy..
..and when he doesn't you are restless.
You won't understand
The day he doesn't steal the butter..
..the cows don't give milk.
Don't pay any attention to me.
Feed Kanha whenever he comes.
Okay mother.
Eat to your heart'n content my son.
That's difficult mother.
Look do whatever mischief you want at home but..
..there should be no complaints.
There's butter here.
But my friends don't get butter.
Tell father that the children have a right to the butter.
Don't talk like an adult.
What's going on between mother and son?
Kanha is already talking about rights.
Is it?
Now, why don't you talk to your father?
Kanha!
Want some butter?
Let's go.
Stay here Shamsakha
Caught you!
Back so soon from the wall?
- Kanha! - Now I'll get you to fill the water.
What's this aunty?
Don't you dare call me that! I am your aunty.
What kind of an aunt are you?
I haven't seen an aunt like you.
An aunt would give me butter..
..and insist that I have more.
You have had enough butter.
You should be punished.
I'll complain to Yashoda.
Why don't you take your friends to your house?
Yashoda thinks you do not steal butter.
Today I'll prove it to her Wait here. I'll fetch Yashoda.
And ask her whether she beleives me or not.
You act very smart and steal the butter.
O Yashoda! O Nandrani!
O Kanha's mother
Hey, where are you?
Sister Yashoda. Sister Yashoda.
Nandrani. Kanha's mother.
What's it Malati? Come in.
I have not come visiting.
- I am here to fetch you - Where?
To my house..
..where I have teid up the butter theif.
See with your own eyes and decide..
..whether your son steals butter or not.
What are you saying?
He is a mischeivous boy but not a theif.
We have enough butter so why he should steal?
So. Come along and see for yourself.
Why should I? I know where he is.
I am not going to listen to you today.
I have caught him red-handed.
Come in for a minute.
There is Kanha.
O my God!
My respects aunty.
I told you not to call me that!
When did you tell me?
But how's it possible?
"The Lord's charm destroyer.."
"..Ego And Arrogance."
"The Lord's Smile entices.."
"..the World of Illusion."
