'Family is like a garland.'
'Just like every flower is separate in a garland..'
'..every person in the family is separate.'
'Just like a thread holds the flowers together in..'
'..the same way such a thread holds the family together.'
'Without this thread no garland can be made nor a family.'
'But this does not mean..'
'..that the thread is all important.'
'A garland is neither flowers nor a thread..'
'..It is a combination of the two.'
'In a well woven garland the thread is invisible..'
'..In a good family the unifying band is invisible.'

'..when Pandavas try to run when the house of wax catches fire..'
'..they could stop them from doing so.'
'So, it is a race between..'

How are you feeling nowadays?
I am experiencing a new happiness.
Three more days..
..and you will be the Crown Prince..
Just three more days.
Three days are nothing If you wish..
..you can even feel your new future.
Duryodhan, Close your eyes and imagine.
The house of wax is burning.
The five Pandavas..
The five Pandavas are running about like rats..
..searching for a safe place.
But they will never find it..
..because there is no safe place.
There is no safe place.
You!
So late!
Sorry to come here so late.
But the news is very important.
What's it?
Shakuni has decided to burn the wax house on the moonless night.
Who told you this?
The family who helped Purochan to build it.
Who will start the fire?
Purochan.
Go to Varnavat..
..and tell the Crown Prince..
.. The moonless night is a very dark night.
And they should see the light one night befire.
As you Wish!
Moonless night.
The fire will start on the Moonless night.
And Vidurji has said You should leave a night before that.
Moonless night?
Yes Prince.
Okay Mingle with my attendants.
Take some rest.
Yes Prince.
Miner!
Prince go and enjoy yourself.
This is no place for a walk.
I am busy. Please forgive me.
I have a message from Yudhishthir
Then why are you wasting time.
Give it to me and let me work.
You are very rude.
Vidhur has not sent me here to be polite.
Politeness is not my strongpoint. I am good at digging a tunnel
This work should..
..be finished a day before..
..we will burn this house and leave one day earlier.
Which means there are only two days.
Yes. Two days.
If you allow me to work I should finished by tomorrow night.
Tell the Crown Prince that the tunnel will open in his room.
Greetings Queen! Greetings Prince!
We are obliged to you.
What are you saying Prince?
Protecting the nation is not the..
..responsibility of Princes and kings only.
It is the duty of every citizen.
Even a Prince is a citizen.
If he is not, he should try to be one.
This tunnel is ready.
Cover it. Allow me to leave now.
My lord!
What happened, Gandhari?
Why did you wake up?
I dreamt a terrible dream, my lord.
What dream?
I saw..
I was worshipping Lord Shiva.
When he got up and began the dance of destruction.
The third eye on his forehead opened.
I stood there frightened.
I picked up courage and asked..
..Lord Shiva! Husband of Gauri!
Lord of demons!
Why do you perform the dance of destruction in my house?
The Lord did not answer.
He looked at me with pity..
..and he left.
In the deafening silence..
..some one called me.
Gandhari!
I turned The Lord of Fire stood before me.
I bowed to him respectfully.
He said Worshipper of Shiva.
Your house is to be destroyed by fire.
Give me your word not to curse me.
I asked him.
What is my fault?
He said..
..When Lord Shiva refused to tell you..
..how can Saying that..
..he turned into a flame..
..and this house began to burn.
We all began to search..
..for a way out of the fire.
But we could find no way.
I called out to Lord Indra.
Lord Indra help me!
Order your clouds to rain..
..and put our the fire.
Lord Indra appeared and heard me..
..out but kept watching me.
After that I woke up.
I woke up.
Don't cry, Gandhari.
Don't cry.
Your tears cannot put out the fire..
..that Lord Shiva and Lord Indra did not.
Besides, Gandhari it was only a dream.
Lord Shiva himself danced..
..the dance of destruction.
Son of Arya. That was no ordinary dream.
What is the meaning of this dream?
If I could interpret dreams..
..would I not interpret my own.
So, sleep Gandhari. Sleep.
Try and see another dream.
After this dream I am unable to sleep.
I am unable to sleep, dear.
I am unable to sleep.
Purochan.
Purochan, you are much too old..
..to wander about at night like..
- ..this, Bring some wine for Purochan. - Alright. Alright.
- Sit down Purochan. - Yes. I am sitting down.
Give the wine to Purochan.
Purochan, drink wine.
The palace built by you and..
..your sons will be gone tomorrow.
So, why don't you stay there for one night..
..and see how it feels to stay in that house.
I have come to invite you to the palace after sunset.
There will be plenty to drink.
I have also arranged for meat.
Let us celebrate our success tonight.
No. We are not interested No.
- Let's go mother. Let's taste the royal life. - No, What?
Okay. If you want to we'll come.
We'll come Purochan.
What's it, uncle? You seen to be very happy today.
Yes, my son.
It is very difficult to attain happiness.
But when you do so your happiness needs no bounds.
What's the good news?
Haven't you heard of the proverb?
The traitor brought down Lanka.
Purochan.
No. I have taken care of him.
The chief of Bodyguards will take care of him.
Tell me, uncle
Learn to trust your uncle, Duryodhan.
Don't worry.
The Pandavas will never return from Varnavat.
Yes, their bones will return..
..for their funeral rites.
What's this?
What's wrong friend?
There's still time. stop this treachery.
How often will you keep saying that?
Till you say to me? Don't tell me what your heart feels.
Till then I'll repeat this.
I say the same thing before and after the deed to I'll say the same.
Will you really be happy after becoming Crown Princes?
I doubt it.
Even I have my doubts.
My father lost the Crown because of King Pandu.
I cannot bear to watch his son become the king. Never!
Never!
I'll agree to your becoming king..
..but never Yudhishthir. Never!
Even if opportunity presents this crown to me..
.. I'll not accept it..
..and present it to you.
Never talk of the Crown again, my friend..
If I have to choose between you and Yudhishthir..
.. I will always choose you.
Because I do not like being indebted.
Even after I have fulfilled the debt of friendship..
.. I'll still be indebted to you.
I may not like the path you are walking along..
..but I'll follow you.
I'll follow you.
The king wanted me to welcome you to the palace..
..I have constructed with your help.
Okay, we'll drink to the king's health!
The Pandavas must be sleeping.
This wine has a..
..strange taste Purochan.
This wine is from the palaces.
Drink carefully or it will give you a kick.
Give me a kick? Impossible!
Drink wine..
We should leave before midnight.
The tunnel is ready.
They are celebrating our death outside.
I'll never forgive Shakuni for this treachery.
- Remove the carpet. - Wait, Brother!
I don't like running away like this.
We are not running away, Arjun.
We are leaving There's a difference between running and leaving.
Besides, uncle Vidur wants it that way.
Probably he wants the conspirators..
.. to think that the plot was successful.
Remove the carpet.
You light the torch, mother.
No, Sahadev. Mother is above this conspiracy.
You go first, mother.
No. Sahadev will go first. Go!
"Vidur's strategy has shown the way."
"May Lord Krishna bless it."
"The dangerous flame may itself.."
"..light up the path of freedom."
"Light up the path of freedom."
Help! Is anyone there? Guard! Help!
Guard!
Help!
Fire! Douse it!
Did anyone leave?
No. No one left.
How could anyone leave?
Poor Pandavas
"Whom the Lord Protects.."
"..Who can harm them?"
"None can harm him.."
"..even if the world turns against him."
"Even if the world turns against him."
Has Purochan gone mad?
He burned the house a day in advance.
- Was anyone saved? - None.
And Purochan?
Yes. He, too, was burned in the fire.
Yes. Good very good.
Give Duryodhan the good news.
Ask him to wait for me. I am coming.
Yes, my lord.
When the news has come why hasn't uncle come as yet.
Uncle will come.
I'll definitely say this..
..brave warriors should die on the battlefield.
I'll always regret this all my life.
You cannot fight their fate. Can you?
Even you have to admit that they deserved a better death.
If that gives you any happiness..
..I'll admit it.
But I cannot rresurrect them to give them a better death.
They were burned alive with their mother.
What?
Which is why Shakuni, King of Gandhar..
..heartily congratulate and salute..
..Duryodhan, the crown Prince of Hastinapur.
Your are indeed great, uncle.
May you live long.
Shows us how you look on the throne.
If you really want to see his glory..
..see him on the throne of Hastinapur.
Come, Duryodhan. Come.
Come brother.
Sit on the throne. It is all yours.
It is all yours.
At last my age old dream is fulfilled.
I dreamt of this since your childhood.
Now this throne is yours forever..
..Because now your father will renounce the world.
Has father been given the news?
Not yet..
..because only you have a right to this news. Only you.
Now let's go and give him the news.
Wait. I think I'll go alone.
You will not be able to hide your joy.
You sit here on the throne and get a feel of it.
Long live the King! The king of Gandhar is here.
My lord. His coming here at this time is a bad omen.
That's true.
I hope the Pandavas are well.
Why do you say that?
I don't know.
It just come out..
..Let's see what Shakuni has to say.
Shakuni.
Long live the king!
Is everything all right, Shakuni?
If all was well Why would I disturb the king at this time?
What bad news have you brought?
Queen Kunti and her sons are no more, my lord
What? No..no.
How did they die?
The palace which Duryodhan..
..had built caught fire.
The fire was so fierce that no one was saved.
Don't drag Duryodhan into this.
You had built it and for this very purpose..
..I did want to see Duryodhan crowned..
..but not at the cost of the Pandavas.
Brother.
Don't say anything now, Gandhari.
Leave my room, Shakuni.
I wish to mourn my dear, Pandavas.
But I do not wish that..
..you witness my tears.
As you wish.
This is terrible, Gandhari
My Lord
I do not know Gandhari..
..if this is an accident or murder.
What are you saying? Duryodhan cannot do such a thing.
But your brother can do anything.
If this murder..
..I'll never forgive myself.
Never!
Tell me how can I face Grandsire with this news?
But I'll have to tell him.
Let's go.
God knows how many more..
..deaths Grandsire will mourn.
Come.
Long live the King and Queen.
Tell Grandsire that Dhritrashtra is here.
Should I wake him?
Yes. God knows when he will get to sleep again.
Do come in, my lord.
What's wrong, my kings?
Do not call me 'King' tonight.
Call me 'son'.
What's wrong my son?
What's it?
Grandsire! We have lost the Pandavas.
What?
Yes Grandsire.
The palace which was built for Yudhishthir was burn to ashes.
Sister-in-law Kunti and..
..the Pandavas died in those flames.
They were burned in those flames?
They were burned?
Grandsire!
I am going to my room.
Tell everyone not to disturb me.
When I get the strength to bear the loss..
..I will come out on my own.
Grandsire.
"Bhishma's heart was a flame.."
"..with the fire that burned the wax house."
"He shut himself up.."
"..and spent the night awake."
