If history were here..
..I would ask it to watch carefully the sight that..
..I am now witnessing to accept it as an offering..
..and clinch tightly in its grasp because never again..
..such coaches and pupils will come together.
Such people have never before come together.
Among the teachers are Bhishma..
..Kripacharya and Dronacharya his son Ashwathama.
Among the pupils Yuddhishthir, Duryodhan, Bheem.
Dushyasan, Arjun, Vikarna Nakul and Sahadev.
Let us salute this gathering of brave warriors.
So, wait with bated breath..

Why are the people silent, Kunti.
Uncle has got up to say something.
Shall we start the function, my King?
Why do you need my permission, Uncle?
Can I ever deny any request of yours?
Yes, let's begin.
Isn't that Uncle Bhishma's Conch?
Yes, he has announced the start of the function.
Now the family's Sage, Kripacharya has got up to begin.
Hail Lord Shiva!
Hail Hastinaput!
Hail citizens of Hastinapur!
Hail Bhishma!
Hail king Dhritrashtra!
Hail Sage Dronacharya!
Before this function begins..
..I would like to tell you that this..
..is not a playground or a theatre.
These are not games for your entertainment.
Today, Hastinapur shall see for itself what the Princes who..
..might get the throne have learned from their coach.
Therefore, this isn't a function but a test of sorts for the princes.
First, I invite the eldest of all, Prince Yuddhishthir.
My respects!
Prince Yuddhishthir?
Introduce yourself to the King.
I am Yuddhishthir, the eldest son of Pandu.
King Kuntibhoj is my grandfather just as you are!
I have heard that he is very tall, Kunti.
Yes sister.
If you wish to kiss his forehead you have to stand on your toes!
Yuddhishthir is paying his respects to you.
May you live long. May luck be on your side.
Prince Yuddhishthir has chosen the spear.
His brothers will attack him from all the sides..
..and he will defend himself.
Hail Prince Yuddhishthir!
Sage Drona feels that Yuddhishthir is an expert spear warrior.
If Sage Drona says it, then it must be true, Kunti.
Who's next?
Ashwathama is bringing Bheem and Duryodhan.
Sister, it seems if the two co-operate they could lift the..
..Earth itself.
Introduce yourself.
Elder Kuru son, Prince Duryodhan pays his respects.
May you live long.
Introduce yourself.
Second son of Queen Kunti Prince Yuddhishthir's younger..
..brother Sage Drona's disciple, Bheemsen.
Both have selected the mace.
Begin the fight!
Come on nephew!
Kunti?
I don't understand. God!
What happened?
The brothers are fighting in real earnest.
Come on nephew!
Vidur.
Yes, my king?
This does not seem to be a game any more.
Stop the contest!
Stop it! Stop it!
This is not a battlefield, but just a test.
What happened?
Sage Drona has stopped the contest.
Who was winning?
Only Sage Drona or Uncle Bhishma can answer that.
Can't you give a straight answer?
When it is in Hastinapur's benefit I'll give a straight answer.
But the question you asked in inappropriate now.
Is the function over?
No, my king.
Ashwathama is taking the princes back to their seats.
Duryodhan?
You always scold me not Bheem
You are both of the same age that's why I say.
There should be nothing but love between brothers.
You are large-hearted enough to love all your brothers.
I'll try.
Arjun
Introduce yourself to the King.
Arjun, disciple of Sage Drone my respects king.
Apart from this do you have no other identification?
No, king.
Worshipper is known by his God and a pupil by his teacher.
Man should have only one identification or..
..else there will be confusion.
King
Arjun is paying his respects.
The weapon of storm!
Fire!
Lightening!
Rain!
Mountain!
Illusion!
Hail Prince Arjun!
What weapons did my son, Arjun exhibit?
If my eyes could speak they would have told you.
Sage has got up to say something.
People of Hastinapur..
..today what ever I want to speak wont be..
..just because Arjun is my favourite disciple.
It is the truth.
Arjun is the greatest living archer today!
No, Teacher!
There is someone greater.
How can you say that he is the best without taking a test.
Except one, I have all the qualifications that Arjun has.
That is, you are not my teacher.
Or else, I too would have lost my thumb!
In Eklavya, I saw a threat to Hastinapur.
Then my thumb is saved..
..because I respect Hastinapur and will..
..continue to do so.
To Hastinapur and its king Grandsire Bhishma..
..Sage Kripa and to you.
This garland smells of Sage Parshuram.
Who can this warrior be, Vidur?
If the contest is not fixed..
..then Sage Kripacharya will ask him that.
What are you thinking?
Do you feel that your pupil cannot face me?
I have a bow and a quiver full of arrows.
In this arena, I challenge Arjun!
After this contest..
..let Hastinapur decide who the best archer is.
Shall I contest Teacher?
Arjun!
Forgive me, sir.
Come here, please.
This is an arena for the Kuru Princes.
No, Sir, this is a public arena..
..and I am making a public challenge.
Either declare me the best archer..
..or allow me to fight with..
..your best and prove that he is really the best.
Allow me to introduce the archer you have challenged.
He is Prince Arjun, son of Pandu of the Lunar dynasty.
Kunti is his mother and Sage Drona his teacher.
Now, introduce your yourself.
The one who knows, does not talk..
..The one who talks, does not know.
How can Karn tell who he really is!
How can he tell who he really is!
Looks like you did not hear my question.
I introduced Arjun to you and asked you..
..who you are and which dynasty you belong to.
My bow is my introduction and my arrows my identity.
This introduction is enough for the battlefield not the arena..
..if you are not a Prince you cannot challenge Arjun.
That's why identify yourself or keep quiet.
What are you saying Sage?
The sun and the moon are their own identification.
Can a deer give birth to this lion?
He is undoubtedly a warrior born of some brave mother.
I did not say he was not a warrior. But rules are rules.
For a duel he has to be a Prince or else he cannot challenge.
Why should anyone be afraid to name his parents?
I will not ask the name of your parents.
I will not even ask which dynasty you belong to.
It is enough for me that you are a brave warrior.
You do not need any other introduction.
But if Sage Kirpacharya says that as per the rules to challenge..
..Arjun you have to prove that You are a king or a prince then..
..so be it.
I would never have thought that I would see the day..
..when Hastinapur would insult a warrior instead of welcoming him.
But today is such a day.
And I can't tolerate that!
I do not know sage who this warrior is..
..but I am sure he is a brave man.
Today, I make use of the authority my father ha given me and of..
..which Grandsir is a witness.
What is your name, Archer?
I am Karn.
The Land Anga is within my rights..
..and today I name Karn as the King of Anga.
Hail the King of Anga!
My friend I am forever indebted to you..
My life is yours.
My loyalty is yours.
My death is also yours.
Please crown my friend Karn, Sage!
What's wrong?
I am worried about your son.
What has he done?
I don't know what he wants to do.
I have not seen him for days When he returned..
..he refused to say anything.
And now he has gone to the arena with his bow.
Sometimes I fear his nature.
Sometimes I feel that our world is too small for him.
Uncle?
Who's that?
Uncle? Uncle? Uncle?
Take a breath.
What's it? What happened and where are you coming from?
Don't ask me!
I would have flown if I had the wings!
O God!
Will you say something?
Hail the King of Anga!
- Hail the king of Anga! - Are you mad?
Karn challenged Prince Arjun to a duel!
Sage Kripa said that only a prince could do that.
Hearing this Prince Duryodhan said if that is the case I'll..
..make Karn, the King of Anga.
You are here and Karn is being crowned there!
Is that the truth?
Should I swear on mother Ganga?
My Karn, the King of Anga!
Vidur?
Who has Duryodhan made the King? Describe him.
No one knows who he is..
..but he is as impressive as the sun.
It is his own personality.
From where has this sun come in the land of moon?
Today, I present King Karn with my friendship.
This crown is yours..
..and so is the head under it.
If you allow me then can I introduce myself to the Sage Kripacharya?
Won't you still not allow me to..
..Challenge the disciple of sage Drona?
What could be the reason to refuse now!
This is a place of competition not a battlefield.
So king of Anga..
..ask me for a permission for a competition.
As you say, teacher.
But if I ever come to fight Arjun in a battlefield then you..
..won't be able to come between us.
Sage, this disciple of Drona is begging for a battle.
Because he doesn't like this arrogant person.
Before he settles here he should be cut to pieces.
Can you offer only words, friend?
Are these bow and arrow only for show?
But remember I won't leave you till you utilize Brahmastra.
So keep those arrows of fire and air to you.
Lets use only those arrows which leave no doubts about the winner.
A kingdom acquired in alms doesn't make you a warrior Karan!
Ability to face pain is what makes a man a warrior.
And also his arms what can use those arrows.
Respect Duryodhan and return to your land.
And if your land accepts this insult then rule that land
Go!
You cannot insult my friend like this, Arjun!
He who is insulted by the truth doesn't have any respect!
My arrows shall speak the truth, Bheem!
Attention Arjun!
Son?
Father!
Vidur?
Yes King?
What is this happening?
Prince Karn is taking..
..his blessings from Adhirat.
But why Adhirat?
I don't know what to say.
I came here the moment I heard that Prince Duryodhan named you..
..the King of Anga.
Your mother just kept of calling me!
You really look like a king wearing this crown.
He is a Charioteer's son!
Ask him to help you ride your chariot!
He doesn't deserve to be killed by you, Arjun!
Who considers a sage's lineage and a rivers flow Bheem?
And do not forget..
..that even your lineage is being questioned.
I am not a charioteer's son.
Kana had just challenged..
..Arjun I challenge all you five brothers!
Come and show your courage!
Battle cannot take place after sunset.
Let the function end.
"The sound of conch stopped."
"Bhishm blows his conch to announce the end.."
"..of the ceremony."
