'Kunti agreed with Lord Krishna but..'
'..Draupadi knew his meaning of 'political friendships'.'
'So, the seed of doubt..'
'..was sown in her mind.'
'But she kept quiet..'
'..hoping her doubt was baseless.'
'The question was..'
'How to hide their going on tour..'
'..from those in Hastinapur.'
'So as to avoid any more conspiracies.'
'However, an incident provided a solution.'
'Some people stole a poor Brahmin's cows..'
'..and he come to Arjun for help.'
'But Ariun's bow was in Draupadi's room..'
'..where she was with Yuddhishthir.'
'Thus Ariun was forced to enter the room..'
'..and violate the code of decency.'
'This meant that Ariun..'
'..had to do penance.'
'This solved the problem beautifully.'
'When a spy bought the news..'
'..of Ariun's leaving home to do penance..'
'..Shakuni became very suspicious.'
I don't understand Ariun's need to do penance.
Why uncle?
He cannot marry while doing penance..
..but he married a princess recently.
The Pandavas are surrounding us.
Uncle! You are getting paranoid..
..about the Pandavas.
Don't be a fool, Duryodhan.
What was Arjun's bow doing in Draupadi's room?
All this seems preplanned.
This is some plot of Krishna's
Uncle is right, Duryodhan.
I have always said..
..that we should behave like warrior..
..and settle differences on the battlefield.
Can you not think of anything else?
The battlefield is like going to the in-laws.
You should go there fully prepared.
So, start preparing for the battlefield.
Arjun is now on the western coast.
Which means he will..
..end his trip in Dwarka.
What can Dwarka do to us?
No. Karna.
It's important to keep Dwarka on our side.
We have Manipur on one side and Dwarka on the other.
If Subhadra's marriage can be..
..fixed with Duryodhan.
Then that will be perfect marriage politics.
Marriage politics?
Yes, my son marriage politics.
How can the wife's family oppose you?
Haven't you wondered why kings..
..have so many queens in their palace?
It is not merely to satisfy their palace?
They are political marriages..
..from which there is no escape.
What should I do?
You should get married.
To whom?
Vasudev's daughter Subhadra.
Never get angry while fighting.
You will lose your mental balance.
So, how was that?
My dear Duryodhan.
You are now the world's greatest mace warrior.
Thank you!
I am very happy today. Ask for an award.
Are you sure?
Yes, Ask for what you wish.
I ask for Subhadra's hand in marriage.
Had you asked for my hand, I would give it.
Subhadra's hand is with her.
I'll also have to talk to father.
Father will not say 'no' to me.
Okay. Subhadra is yours.
"I am fully wet due to rain."
"Waiting to meet beloved."
"Lost in the rain."
"Drenched by the raindrops."
"It is raining drop by drop."
"The clouds are talking."
"The monsoon has defeated here."
"Her childhood friends stand in her way."
"And bother me."
"Drenched by the raindrops."
"The vermillion and the nose ring is stopping me."
"O God, you are deceiver."
"The delicate bangles are making noise."
"How will I let go of my hand?"
"The rain has smudged.."
"..the kohl in my eyes."
"Drenched by the raindrops."
Who are you?
A traveler.
Where have you been?
All over India. Today, I've come here.
Did you ever get to see Arjun?
Who's Arjun?
Brahmin, what kind of Indian you are?
You don't know Arjun!
Drona's disciple Arjun.
O you are talking of Arjun, son of Kunti.
Yes.
I have seen him and met him closely.
How's he to look at?
Nothing special.
What did you say?
Drona's disciple.
Ace archer.
And you saw nothing special about Arjun?
If you were not a Brahmin then swear on Lord Mahadev..
..I would have cut off your tongue.
Subhadra!
Why are you angry with this poor Brahmin?
- His words have angered me - Is that so?
He says there's nothing special about Arjun.
It means his eyes are at fault.
Why punish him for his eye's fault?
It could also be that you are so impressed..
..with Arjun that you are in love with him.
Brother.
If you tease me like this..
..I won't even talk to you.
Look Brahmin! My sister won't talk to me.
But why did you ask this nomad?
Ask me about Arjun.
What can this Brahmin tell you?
He is tall, fair and handsome.
His eyes look at everyone and everyone looks at him.
The bow on his shoulder..
You are talking like a poet.
That's how poetry is defined.
True poetry always reflects the truth.
If you don't believe me, look at Arjun and tell me.
He is not here.
Come. I'll introduce you to him.
Now?
Yes. At this very moment.
This is my beloved sister Subhadra, Arjun.
Arjun!
Should I talk to father about both of you?
Not without Subhadra's permission.
Let's go to the palace
Yes. Let's go.
Please accept my greetings.
No. I won't accept them.
What have I done to be so punished?
Why didn't you say you were Arjun?
You didn't ask me.
You asked me it I had seen Arjun and I said yes.
You also said there was nothing special about him.
In my eyes, there is nothing special. You tell me.
Instead you pulled out a dagger.
Whom are you running away from?
Now I understand.
- What? - You running away.
When a girl runs away like this, it only means..
..that one should talk to her father.
Should I talk to father about you?
Brother!
Have you forgotten your responsibilities?
Are you saying I have forgotten you?
Over the years, we have come so close that..
..you are like my breath.
How can I forget you?
Enough!
No need to get poetic.
We have passed that stage in life.
I was not talking of myself.
Then who are you talking of?
And what responsibility?
Have you thought of Subhadra?
What about her?
She has grown up.
That's the problem with mothers.
They always feel that their daughters have grown up.
The problem with fathers is that..
..they feel their daughters never grow up.
- But Subhadra is.. - Don't argue.
Yesterday I saw her.. smiling at the mirror.
When a young girl starts smiling at the mirror..
..it only means she has come of age.
Subhadra is no ordinary girl
The problem with fathers is that..
..they find their daughters unusual.
Even assuming she is unusual..
..can we not find an unusual boy for her?
Besides, what is special about her?
For one, she is a favourite of Krishna's.
- My respects. - Blessings!
My respects.
Please sit.
When did you return?
I have just come.
I was keen to meet you both after so long.
I also waned to talk to you.
Was it so urgent that you did not even rest?
If it was not urgent, I would have come later.
- What's it? - First, how's your aunt?
She is in Indraprasth
Yuddhishthir has become popular.
You have already asked Arjun.
Is Arjun here?
Yes. He is with Krishna.
Has Krishna put up his proposal?
Proposal?
Then it's okay.
What's okay?
It is like this mother.
Have been thinking of Subhadra.
I was afraid you would fix her marriage..
..before I returned.
Do you have a good boy in mind?
Yes. A special one.
All eyes in India are on him today
Who's that?
- There's only one like that. - Who's it?
Duryodhan, Crown Prince of Hastinapur.
- He is also my disciple. - ..
He has also asked for her hand.
Will Kunti like it?
Why won't she like it?
There is no quarrel left after the division.
Partition is not the solution.
It has reduced both their kingdoms.
This will leave everyone dissatisfied.
But if you have already promised Duryodhan..
- Now that you have promised.. - Greetings, brother!
May you live long!
Looks like Duryodhan has looked after you well.
There's some good news
Balram has found a good boy for Subhadra.
- Really! - Congratulations Krishna!
Since Brother has come after so many days..
I knew it he will bring gifts for everyone.
What have you got for me?
We were talking of Subhadra's marriage and..
..he has brought himself into it
Don't be greedy, Krishna.
I am asking my elder brother.
That is not greed. That's love.
Don't trick me wish your words.
We were talking about some thing serious.
I gauged that when someone told me..
..you came here straight from the chariot.
That's why I came running.
I was saying that I have fixed..
..Subhadra's marriage to Duryodhan.
My sister is worthy of the Lunar Dynasty.
Look father. Even Krishna has agreed.
Now, you can say 'yes'.
This decision should be taken at sunrise..
..so that Subhadra's life will always be sunny.
That's ok we'll take the decision tomorrow morning.
Look Krishna. Don't try funny tricks.
What can I do?
That, too, about Subhadra's future.
How can you think like that? You have done your best.
Krishna is right.
Besides, I am not going to refuse.
So, we will decide tomorrow, go and rest now.
May you live long!
Arjun.
Krishna, you?
Yes. Who else will wake you up?
These are bad times.
- Will you fight Balram? - Balram?
I'll tell you but first ask me to sit.
Do you need an invitation?
This palace is yours, and so is the Universe.
- And.. - Enough!
We should talk less and take action.
In brief brother wants Subhadra to marry Duryodhan.
To Duryodhan?
- What do you order? - No orders.
Do your duty as a warrior.
If both you and the girl are agreeable..
..and there is an obstacle..
..your duty is to elope with the girl.
It will not be elopement.
Then, should I elope with Subhadra?
I am suggesting nothing.
I am merely pointing out our duty.
As you order.
I have heard that Subhadra will go to the temple at dawn.
Who told you that?
- I am not going to the temple. - I see!
I also heard you were going to marry Duryodhan.
- What are you saying? - What I heard.
Who told you?
Balram, and you know..
..he does what he says.
Both father and mother have almost agreed.
I have got the decision postponed till tomorrow.
But I won't marry Duryodhan.
In that case go to the temple at dawn.
As you order.
You should not follow orders.
But take decisions.
Arjun will surely come to take you from the temple.
"Bedecked in all her jewellery."
"The bride leaves for her sweetheart's place."
"She would not have said a word..
..but her anklet gave away her secret."
"Do not stop her now."
"She is going to her sweetheart."
"Drenched by the raindrops."
"Her childhood friends stand in her way."
"The monsoon has defeated here."
"Drenched by the raindrops."
Greetings, brother.
Be happy!
Are you going to war?
No. Just a little practice.
- I see! - I heard you were back..
..so I came to take your blessings.
I am happy with you brothers.
Go. Be victorious.
My respects!
Come, friends!
Greetings.
Did you meet Balram?
Yes. I did.
His blessing was essential.
Go. But remember that..
..Draupadi is born from fire.
She is hot tempered.
It is important how you introduce Subhadra to her.
Ensure that Draupadi accepts her.
She may be married to all of you..
..but it is you who won her.
But it is definite that..
..Draupadi won't accept her.
She will accept her.
Subhadra is my sister but..
..Draupadi is like my sister..
..and very dear to me.
If it was not important for Subhadra to go with you..
..I would not have suggested it.
Don't think I am helping you..
..merely because I love you both.
I do not understand.
You need not understand that now.
Subhadra is the future of the Lunar Dynasty.
Go Arjun. My chariot is waiting for you.
Greetings.
One more thing.
Let Subhadra drive your chariot.
Subhadra?
This journey is hers, not yours.
As you wish.
We will kill him.
We will not spare him.
- We will not spare him. - We will bring her back.
We will surely punish him.
- We will kill him. - We will nab Arjun and get him here.
Warriors of Dwarka!
Arjun has insulted our hospitality.
He has eloped with Subhadra.
We will chase him all the way to Indraprasth.
Yes! Yes!
Looks like Krishna does not agree with us.
I did not say anything.
I fear your silence.
Didn't you elope with Rukmini?
Did not Rukmini's brothers stop you when..
I did not take her against her wishes.
You know she called for my help.
They wanted her to marry Shishupal.
I had helped her then.
- What are you saying? - Exactly what you hear.
It is quite possible that..
..the plan to marry her off to Duryodhan..
..she must have found out and called for Arjun's help.
Who told her about my plans..
..to marry her to Duryodhan?
And who told you that she didn't want to get married?
Subhadra herself told me..
..that she won't marry Duryodhan.
Who told her?
I told her.
When I heard the good news..
..I thought she should know of it.
So, I woke her up and told her
- You woke her up and told? - Yes, brother.
Why did she not ask you for help?
I told her that..
..you had promised and I could not help.
When did she ask Arjun for help?
Who took her message to Arjun?
Who told Arjun about her temple visit?
Only Subhadra can answer these questions.
But her bodyguards told me that..
..she did not even ask for their help..
..when Arjun took her on his chariot.
One of them told me that..
..she herself drove the chariot away.
Doesn't this mean that..
..Subhadra has eloped with Arjun..
..rather than the other way?
Arjun has betrayed our trust.
He has insulted our hospitality.
We will not bear it.
He has invited his death.
We will avenge this.
I am with you..
..but answer just one question of mine.
Why did you support me when I eloped with Rukmini?
Brother keeps praising the Pandavas.
Can any one of them insult their aunt?
In truth, Arjun has honoured us.
Karna, too, could have won Draupadi.
Then why have such competitions?
A daughter cannot be gifted away in competitions.
She cannot be won or lost like a thing.
Arjun saw this fault in our marriage system..
..and protected our honour by eloping with Subhadra.
We should be grateful to him.
Besides, what's wrong with him?
Son of Pandu, disciple of Sage Drone.
Ace archer!
Which one of you does not desire his friendship?
He is India.
He is Shantanu's grandson and..
..Kuntibhoj's great grandson.
He is the best choice for Subhadra in all the three worlds.
Who other than Lord Shiva can defeat him in battle?
I say, bring him back to Dwarka with honour.
If he defeats you and returns to Indraprasth..
..Dwarka will become a laughing stock.
If you want this to happen, go and fight him.
I knew that..
..this would happen, if he was allowed to talk.
Now, go and bring back Arjun with honour.
"To keep things within control."
"That is the way of the Lord."
"Arjun and Subhadra have found each other."
"That is the victory of love."
