'In this war, it is not important..'
'..who killed whom because..'
'..it is a decisive war between truth and untruth..'
'..light and darkness, religion and evil.'
'Hence, the responsibility of truth, light and..'
'..religion increase.'
'So, this war cannot begin..'
'..like an ordinary war.'
'Before the war begins, history will witness..'
'..a scene which it has never seen before.'
'The situation is that after Krishna's advice..'
'..Arjun's chariot has returned to his camp.'
'Grandsire Bhishma waits for someone.'
Looks like Yudhishtir's war has finished..
..even before it ever started.
He is coming hereto plead for a truce.
Did Sage Kripa or I ever teach you..
..how to plead for a truce?
War does not mean you can make insulting remarks.
Yudhishtir is your elder brother. His insult is yours.
Duryodhan has gone beyond all that limits, sage.
Dear, Duryodhan is not coming here to plead for truce.
Then why is he coming?
Whether you admit it or not, he is coming here for that.
Our might army has surely scared him.
If he is not coming here to plead for truce..
..then he is coming here to plead for his life.
Learn to be patient.
My respects, grandsire!
May I fight this war, grandsire?
Be victorious, dear Yudhishtir! Be victorious.
Had you not come for permission I would have..
..cursed you with defeat.
Without your permission, I'll not even fight the enemy.
And this is a war with yourself.
Your grandsire, bound by his own oath..
..is compelled to fight you.
So, apart from this blessing of victory..
..I can only give you wounds.
Those wounds will be a blessing for me.
Be happy, my child!
Be happy.
My respects.
My respects, o teacher!
May you live long!
I have come for your blessing!
Be victorious!
O son of Kunti!
When war starts, don't think of me as your teacher.
I, too, will not think of you as a disciple.
This is not a war between teacher and disciple.
War is always between opponents.
One last lesson for you.
Today I shall teach you that.
A warrior who sells his weapons..
..a dancer, a servant and a selfish man.
He fights for wealth. A slave of riches!
Such a warrior is not to be respected.
Hey, son of Kunti, in war, there are no relatives.
We are all opponents in this battlefield.
Hence, to fight me is your duty.
I hope that you five brothers..
..will not insult your teacher.
Tell Arjun..
..if I find his arrows not accurate enough..
..I'll disown him as my disciple.
My respect!
My respects, o sage!
May you live long!
Be victorious!
Do you have some time for a final lesson?
It will be my good fortune!
All right! One final lesson.
Man should not lust for wealth.
Do I have permission to fight this war?
This war is your duty.
My respects.
My respects, uncle!
May you live long!
Though my weapons fight for Duryodhan..
..all are blessings are for you.
All are for you.
My respects, uncle!
May you be victorious!
I am blessed to have people like you!
Blessing the enemy with victory!
Had you touched Yudhishtir's feet..
..he, too, would have blessed you with victory.
But your ego intervened.
My child! If anyone touches your feet..
..your hands will automatically bless him.
Had Yudhishtir touched your uncle Shakuni's feet..
..he, too, would be compelled to bless him.
One has to bless the one who pays his respect.
O god of wind!
Please take the voice of Yudhishtir..
..who stands in the centre of the arena..
..to all the brave warriors gathered here.
All the warriors who can hear me, listen to me!
Kurukshetra is a holy ground.
A holy war is to take place here.
If there is anyone in my army..
..who thinks truth is on the other side..
..he can change his loyalty now.
All such people can go to Duryodhan's camp.
If there is anyone in Duryodhan's army..
..who thinks truth is with us..
..then I welcome him to my camp.
Before grandsire Bhishma blows the bugle..
..anyone who wants to change sides..
..can do so now.
Charioteer! Take me to Yudhishtir's camp.
"Yuyutsu has changed camps.."
"..having decided to side with truth."
"Brothers fight one another."
"Who should the mother side with?"
You are welcome to my camp.
Grandsire, did you see that?
What else do you expect of a step brother?
There are two step brothers in the other camp, too.
When they heard I was going to fight for you..
..they wanted to kill me.
The king of Madra is right.
In this holy war, every warrior..
..has a right to take his personal decision.
If truth is on that side..
..why are you here, grandsire?
This is a moment for personal decisions.
For, truth concerns the individual, not the army.
Do you want to say truth is on Yudhishtir's side?
Don't ask me this question.
Pose this question for yourself.
Ask your soul.
Remove the tape of ego and ambition from your eyes..
..and they'll show you on whose side truth is.
Long live the queen!
Any news from the battlefield?
Yes, my queen.
Is it good news or bad?
Bad news for Hastinapur.
What's the news?
Prince Yuyutsu has joined the Pandavas.
So what? He hasn't joined the enemy.
Why should it be bad news for Hastinapur?
He has left the brother..
..to join another brother.
But the king was upset.
Anyone may win or loses this war..
..but all elders are going to be unhappy.
All I now want is, that if this war is inevitable..
..let it happen once and for all.
Attack!
Sanjay, keep your eyes on the battlefield!
I must know who attacked first.
Who fired the first arrow?
The war has not started as yet.
The army is heading forward.
Tell me the moment the first arrow is fired.
I do not fear the result of war..
..but I do fear history.
I don't want history to say..
..that my army attacked first.
To what extent can you control history?
This is a very long story.
History can ask you many inconvenient questions.
There's no point in being afraid of them.
The wax house, the division of the nation..
..the game of dice, Draupadi's disrobing..
..were represented to you by me.
How many sins will you deny?
Don't narrate my history to me.
I remember well!
For these, I can blame Shakuni or Karna.
But I can blame no one but myself for this war.
So, keep your eyes on the battlefield.
As you wish!
May you win, my child!
May you win!
If Arjun cannot stop grandsire, who can?
Allow me to try.
All right! Go!
Come on!
Introduce yourself!
I am Krishna's disciple and grandsire's great grandson.
Arjun's son, Abhimanyu!
You are too young to die, my child.
There's no age for a heroic death.
If there is, I have not reached it as yet..
..but you have already crossed that age.
It will be any warrior's good fortune..
..to fight his first battle with you.
So, allow me to fight you and bless me!
O Lord! Who will be my opponents in this war?
Beware, my child!
Beware.
King. I cannot bear to see this war any longer.
Why? Why?
Why? Why? Is our army being defeated?
No, my king!
- Are my sons safe? - Yes, my king.
If our army is undefeated and my sons are safe..
..why can't you bear to see this war?
Is grandsire dead?
No, my king.
How can he die? He has the boon of wishful death.
Till he sees Hastinapur is safe from all sides..
..he'll not give up his life.
But, my lord..
..Abhimanyu is fighting grandsire.
The hands which should touch grandsire's feet..
..are holding the bow.
The hands which should rise in blessing..
..are firing arrows.
Hastinapur's aged and youngsters are wounded.
It is the blood of the Bharat clan which flows.
The blood of warriors is means to flow.
For the brave, wounds are like medals.
Their enthusiasm increases with the wounds.
Keep watching and tell me about my sons.
Tell me about Dushasan as..
..Bhim's pledge still echoes in my ears.
As you wish!
At present, prince Dushasan is fighting with Nakul.
May you live long, my child!
May you live long!
Like Arjun, this dynasty will always be proud of you.
My eyes are pleased to se your expertise.
Blessed is the clan which has given you birth.
There will be no result to our duel
I won't kill you and you can't kill me.
Therefore, go elsewhere. Go elsewhere.
Forgive me, grandsire.
I cannot go elsewhere.
I have come here to stop you.
You cannot stop me, my child.
You cannot stop me.
Charioteer! Move on!
Arjun!
Arjun, call your son. He is stopping me.
Grandsire! Are you my commander or theirs?
Take the chariot towards grandsire.
Enough, my child! Stop!
I don't want to be the cause of your death.
By god! If I knew that Hastinapur was safe..
..I would gladly give up my life to your arrows..
..as a reward for your bravery.
As a reward for your bravery.
I shall gift this lad's life to you..
..for the safety of Hastinapur.
I was searching for you, uncle.
But you owe a debt to my elders.
I will not insult them by killing you.
"To keep the honor.."
"..of powerful Bhim's pledge.."
"..Abhimanyu changed the direction.."
"..of his own arrow."
