'Duryodhan has won the game of dice.'
'Hastinapur has lost.'
'The values which Indians were proud of..'
'..and which guided their lives..'
'..and society have also lost.'
'It may be that Dhritrashtra was..'
'..frightened by Draupadi's curse..'
'..but it could also be that he was frightened..'
'..by his ambition and filial love.'
'But there's no doubt that he was frightened.'
'However, his fear has played havoc..'
'..with Shakuni's game..'
'..and Duryodhan's dreams.'
'Neither Shakuni nor Duryodhan..'
'..is willing to accept that.'
'When Draupadi threw the dice of her divinity..'
'..even an experienced player like Shakuni lost.'
'Whatever he had won..'
'..was lost in a moment..'
'..and he could do nothing about it.'
Why are you worried, Dushasan?
The Pandavas will return to Indraprasth tomorrow.
Let them go!
Whenever I see them..
..my body is set afire.
It is as if this fire will burn..
..my personality and my ego.
I am happy that they are going.
How can I be happy to see them go?
The Pandavas are taking back whatever uncle won for us.
What can I say about father?
There's no point in calling him blind.
He is blind!
He is a fool! Call him a fool, Dushasan!
He is unique in the history of mankind.
He has spent his life in giving..
..his sons' rights to someone else's sons.
Why should they worry when they have you, uncle?
I am sure you have many more conspiracies.
Truth cannot be a basis for humor.
Yes, you are right.
My quiver of ideas is not yet empty.
- Allow me to leave. - Wait, Karna!
Do you like your character over..
..Duryodhan's friendship?
Tell me, King of Anga!
My army had won the game but..
..Draupadi spoilt every thing.
You, too, were there.
You are a witness to my victory.
Draupadi came like a divine weapon..
..and frightened your father into submission.
What can we do now?
If only we can play just one more game..
- ..I'll win everything back. - lmpossible!
Father will never allow us to play again.
You have not yet understood your father.
He will try to give you whatever you want.
Do not worry about that!
The only problem is the two sages and Grandsire.
The three of them are bound to the throne.
Do not worry about them.
You should worry about Vidur..
..and my sister Gandhari.
Let me think..
..what you should tell the king.
The Pandavas will not accept this humiliation.
If I were in their place..
..I would attack Hastinapur immediately.
Maybe they will do that. What should we do?
We should attack them before they attack us.
Attack! Yes.
For the first time, I have liked what you said.
Attack!
First you will attack Grandsire Bhishma.
If you can defeat him..
..you will have won the game.
You will have to attack now!
Go, my dear nephew! Go this minute!
O Bhishma! Have you met Yudhishthir?
How can I go to the Pandavas?
What shall I tell them?
They are gentlemen.
They will not talk of what happened but..
..their eyes will speak about it.
The Crown Prince is here to see you.
At this time? Okay, let him in.
My respects, O Teacher! Grandsire!
Come, my child! How did you think of me..
..so late at night?
I have two plans before me.
Please tell me which I should implement.
What plans, Duryodhan?
I am not ashamed of what has happened.
Draupadi had become my slave..
..and I have unlimited right over her.
Yudhishthir should be ashamed..
..for staking his wife.
I also know that we differ with one another..
..on this matter.
Talk of your plans, Duryodhan.
This background is essential, O Teacher!
All right!
If it is over, talk of your plans.
As you wish!
Just like two lions cannot stay in the same forest..
..the Kauravas and Pandavas cannot stay together.
Not after what has happened.
So, only two options are open to me.
The first option is that..
..I be allowed to attack Indraprasth.
Let the battlefield decide..
..as to who will stay here.
The second option is that..
..I be allowed to play dice one more time.
If I win, then..
..they should accept 12 years of exile and..
..one year of anonymity.
If they win..
..I accept the same terms.
Gambling is not a strategy.
The problem is not so simple.
Forgive me, Grandsire.
I do not wish to accuse you of partiality.
You both know that you are partial to them.
I only wish to know..
..which of the two strategies I should accept.
War or dice?
Only the king can answer such a question.
As you order. Come with me.
You will have to answer the question..
..either today or tomorrow.
How could you allow the humiliation of the Kurus?
Till you answer this question..
..sleep will not come to your eyes.
Maybe..
..my soul, too, was blinded in those moments.
Maybe I was frightened of Duryodhan.
For the first time in my life..
..I am happy that I am blind and..
..I cannot see my daughter-in-law.
If I could see, I would see..
..nothing but hatred and contempt in her eyes.
Who's that?
Long live the king!
Grandsire and the Crown Prince are here.
Grandsire and Duryodhan? What do they want?
They will tell you.
- My respects. - Blessings.
Please sit.
Why did you take the trouble of coming here?
Why didn't you call me?
I have not come to my child Dhritrashtra.
I have come to my king.
Say what you want to say, Duryodhan.
Just like two lions cannot stay in one forest..
..the Kauravas and Pandavas cannot stay together.
What are you saying? They are your brothers.
We are not the first brothers in history..
..who cannot stay together.
They may not mind staying with me..
..but I won't stay with them.
Father even divided the nation but..
..that has not brought me any satisfaction.
On the contrary, it has angered me further.
Now that I had won at dice..
..whatever I had wanted..
..father has done me an injustice by returning it.
I cannot bear this.
Grandsire, please explain to him.
He does not know what he is saying.
Grandsire will not interfere.
Listen to me carefully.
I have only two options.
Either I conquer Indraprasth..
..or die on the battlefield in attempting that.
Or else..
..let me play just one game of dice with them.
If they win..
..I accept 12 years of exile and a year of anonymity.
If I win, they must accept the same terms.
If they are recognized in the last year..
..they will have to start all over again.
But my son..
Why don't you try and understand me, mother?
I am haunted by Arjun.
I hate the letter 'A'..
..because Arjun's name begins with it.
This world is too small for us, father.
We cannot live here together.
Isn't there a third option?
Yes, mother.
There is a third option.
- Suicide! - No.
I did not tell you about this option..
..because you may not accept it.
Father.
Allow me to wage war or play dice.
- Grandsire. - Both options are unacceptable to me.
I cannot allow you to wage war. And..
My lord!
Nor can I allow him to commit suicide.
Has your filial love made you forget your duty?
You can say this Grandsire, because..
..you don't know what filial love is.
A tree lives for its fruit and a father for his son.
I have not come to a father but to a king.
If there are only two options, war or dice..
..a King should choose war because..
..that's the warrior's duty'
My dear Duryodhan, you are not a coward.
Besides, I am with you.
And so is Sage Drona..
..his son Ashwatthama and Karna.
Forget about dice and..
- ..prepare for war. - No!
I'll not allow you to wage war. No.
Duryodhan. I'll allow only one more game.
Promise me. One more game.
Do not invite India's destruction, my lord.
Do not break the bridge we have built between our sons and the Pandavas.
If you do that, there'll be nothing be darkness.
If India is destined for destruction..
..nothing will stop it.
Maybe that is the destiny of this dynasty.
Blame God for your filial love.
If India is destined for destruction..
..then your leadership is at fault, not God!
Why haven't you braided your hair?
These insulted hair will remain unbraided..
..so that they will forever remind you..
..of how Dushasan insulted me in court.
Look at them carefully, O Arjun!
Look at them, O Bhim!
These hair will remain unbraided..
..till you bring me blood from..
e..Dushasan's chest to wash away the insult.
He is younger to us.
Forgive him, Draupadi.
You are the essence of religion.
You may forgive both Duryodhan and Dushasan.
I am the essence of womanhood's ego.
I can never forgive them.
Bhim. Please explain to Draupadi.
How can I explain to Draupadi when..
..I cannot reconcile myself?
Besides, what is there to explain?
Who among us can dare tell Draupadi..
..to forget what has happened?
To forget that Dushasan dragged her by her hair.
To forget that Karna called her a whore!
To forget that Duryodhan had ordered her disrobing.
Forgiveness is something else..
..but can you yourself forget it?
How can you dare talk to your brother so loudly?
How can you dare question him?
A brave warrior has a high degree of tolerance.
Do not boast of your bravery before me.
I cannot call you cowards..
..but you will have to prove your bravery to me.
Look at my unbraided hair and lower your eyes.
Or else get me blood from Dushasan's chest!
Now take me away from here!
I cannot even breath here!
The air stinks of my humiliation!
Let's go Draupadi!
The king is waiting for you in the recreation room.
You will have to go to protect the warrior code.
I will have to go there in order to obey Father.
If you must go there, promise me..
..you will not play dice.
Is that a restriction?
Not a restriction but a request.
I cannot promise you that.
If Father orders me to play..
..I'll have to play.
Can you promise me that..
..you will not stake your brothers and their arms?
Yes. I can promise you that.
Can you promise me that..
..you will not stake your independence?
Yes. I can promise that.
Can you promise me that..
..you will not stake me at dice?
Draupadi!
You are insulting him.
Lord Ram knew that there..
..is no golden deer and yet he went to hunt for it.
Was it mere greed?
Did not Seeta know there is..
..no animal like the golden deer?
Did she purposely send Lord Ram on a dangerous mission?
What is fated to happen..
..is the result of our past actions.
Neither you nor I can prevent it.
Neither Bhim's mace nor Arjun's arrow can prevent it.
That's why. Let's go!
Making Father wait for..
..us will be a violation of decency.
Emperor Yudhishthir..
..with Queen Draupadi..
..is on his way with his younger brothers.
Yudhishthir, with his brothers..
..and his wife are paying their respects.
My blessings!
Your blessing is our protection.
What do you order?
Even I am not happy giving you the order.
Sometimes, ancient dynasties..
..reach a crucial turning point..
..when elders have to give undesirable orders.
I was not pleased to divide Hastinapur.
The partition is a wound in my heart..
..which will never heal.
Yudhishthir, you are the eldest Kuru son.
So, your responsibility is greater than your brothers.
Someday you will be able to explain to your brothers..
..that there may be many arrows in the quiver..
..but two lions cannot live in the same forest.
Two ambitious men cannot prosper in the same house.
Two seasons cannot come at once.
Two rivers cannot flow together.
One has to merge with the order.
My son, Duryodhan is unwilling to unite with you.
Nor does he want you to unite with him.
That's why he wants to play one more game with you.
At stake is 12 years of exile..
..and a year of anonymity.
If you win..
..he will accept those terms.
If you lose, you'll have to accept the same terms.
Will uncle play on Duryodhan's behalf?
You will have to ask him that.
You have answered my question.
Are you willing to play on those terms?
How can I refuse to accept when you have ordered it?
I will definitely obey you.
- My respects. - May you live long.
- My respects. - Greetings!
Will you, too, sit here, sister-in-law?
Should I not witness the game where I was staked?
If King Karna of Anga does not mind..
..I will sit here with my five husbands.
Why should I mind? Do sit.
Thank you!
Brother!
Father forgot to tell you that..
..if you are recognized in the last years..
..you will have to go into exile all over again.
I do not wish that we met again after today.
That is the best for you because when I meet you..
..I shall take some blood from you and..
Dushasan for Draupadi's hair.
Look at Draupadi's hair and start playing.
Also remember Duryodhan! We know the result of this game..
..but we are playing it.
Keep quiet all of you!
Your brother does not like such words.
Start the game, Emperor!
If I were playing against you..
..I would have started the game.
I am playing against Duryodhan.
As my younger brother, let him start first.
As you wish!
What do you need, dear nephew?
Twelve!
Twelve it will be!

- Eleven! - Uncle!
Dear nephew.
I must get eleven, uncle.
If I don't get eleven, uncle..
..l'll kill you!
Don't be impatient.
I need eleven.
I won't let you go in exile.
Trust my army. You will get eleven.
- We need eleven, uncle. - Eleven, uncle. We need eleven.
This is my last request.
Eleven!
Save, Shakuni.
- Eleven! - Eleven!
We have won!
Has Duryodhan won?
Yes, my king, Duryodhan has won.
But Hastinapur has lost.
Uncle! My dear uncle!
12 years of exile and one year of anonymity.
Duryodhan has won!
Sue! Amazing
"What is fated will surely happen."
"None can reverse fate."
"Yudhishthir has once again.."
"..lost everything."
