There are no cowards in Kurukshetra.
Neither Arjun nor Duryodhan,
For Duryodhan, treachery is..
..more important than strategy.
..In the matter of capturing Yudhishthir..
..he lied to sage Drona..
He also lied to Susharma.
He knows Susharma will not live to remind him..
..of his promise to free Yudhishthir.
Hence, he could be promised anything.
The point is, Duryodhan has..
..given a promise which he will not fulfill.
This does not befit a warrior like Duryodhan.
Brother, why did you give such a promise?
There is no question of keeping it Anuj.
Do you think Susharma will live to see it fulfilled?
No, dear.
His opponent is Arjun who will not let him live.
My respects, Grandsire.
May you live long!
What happened today?
Nothing else but war.
However, the war will end tomorrow.
How come?
Sage Drona will create the wheel trap.
Both Krishna and Arjun know how to break it.
They will not be there to break it.
I have arranged to keep them at a distance.
We will capture Yudhishthir before they return..
..and the war will end.
I came here to give you this good news.
O God! Give him some sense.
This is not good news.
Go away! Leave me alone with my wounds.
Which means you want me to lose.
No!
I don't want either you or Yudhishthir to lose.
I want Hastinapur's safety.
I want peace in Hastinapur.
Peace.
King Dhritrashtra is on his way!
My respects! Brother!
Come.
Please sit!
Be happy!
Happiness cannot be bought or grown.
How can I be happy, brother?
If I knew where happiness stayed, I would..
..plead with it to return to Hastinapur.
Why have you come here?
I had to come here because..
..you probably wouldn't come on my calling you.
Had you called me as a brother, I would have come.
What if I had called you as the king of Hastinapur?
You know the answer to that question.
I have nothing to do with the king of Hastinapur.
My respects.
May your husband proper.
That is one blessing I can give..
..to only a few women today.
Once, I had several daughters-in-law.
Now I have a few daughters-in-law and..
..many widows of my sons.
It seems only the widows will be left.
- Should I say something? - No.
Dear brother, this is not justice.
This is not within the realm of ethics.
It is an emotional problem..
..the lament of a blind and good father.
Tell me if you can..
..why do these eyes cry for..
..those they cannot see?
Did you not cry when you heard the news of..
..the death of my sons?
Yes brother. I felt like crying.
But more than that, I was angry with you.
Had you wanted, they would be living today.
They all would be living today.
More than your sons, you have insulted the throne.
- What are you saying? - Let him speak.
Let him speak.
I want to listen to these bitter words.
Speak, Vidhur! Speak.
Tell me Vidhur.
Will you come to me to mourn the deaths..
..of Duryodhan and Dushasan?
Vidhur.
Brother..
..you may think what you want about me but..
..I am both worried and sad for you.
But what can I do?
What can I do?
Whenever I spoke up, you cut me off.
Whenever I tried to help you..
..you refused any such help.
If you can still hear and understand me..
..for God's sake..
..go to Kurukshetra with Sanjay.
I shall run after your chariot barefoot.
There, plead with Lord Krishna for only he..
..can stop this war.
Brother!
Those who are dead are dead but..
..at least let the others live.
- At least let the others live. - No, Vidhur.
No!
I have left truce far behind me.
I can no longer look back.
If I do that..
..my dear Duryodhan will commit suicide.
He committed suicide..
..much before the war started.
Much before.
O Sage! Even Arjun's banner cannot be seen.
There is no doubt now that Susharma..
..has taken Arjun far away.
There is no way Arjun can fight now.
I don't understand why Susharma ran away.
Don't tax your brain.
Let it be! He is my brother-in-law.
What do we do now, O Sage?
Duryodhan, let Susharma go a little further away..
..so there's no possibility of Arjun returning.
Why are you all so scared of Arjun?
I am not scared of Arjun. I know him very well.
I don't want him to know of the wheel trap.
Brother, believe it or not. This is an injustice to the Pandavas.
We are not here to think about justice, but to fight.
We are not men but war machines.
Till we are alive, we will fight.
You are right.
He has run away. Run!
Keep Arjun close to you, my lord.
What has the sage done?
Spy.
If you are loyal to me, open your eyes!
The wheel trap!
I told you Susharma is not a warrior but..
..a symbol of the Kaurav strategy.
But Arjun didn't listen to me.
Do not be angry.
None of us knows how to break the wheel trap.
Arjun knows but he has been taken away.
Don't forget that Arjun's charioteer is Krishna.
He must have followed Susharma intentionally.
What's it my son? Why are you here?
Do not worry, Elder Father.
If there is a reason, I must worry.
The wheel trap worries you.
So what if father is not there.
I, his son, am there.
I know how to enter the wheel trap but..
But what?
I don't know how to get out of it.
Don't worry, we will be behind you.
We won't let the trap close behind you.
O Sage! Are you waiting for sunset?
That is sage Drona's conch. The attack has begun.
Go, my son! Be successful!
From where will you enter the trap?
I'll take a look at the trap.
I'll reach the point from where we can enter.
All right! We are with you.
Commander! When Abhimanyu enters the trap..
..enter with the other warriors.
Go, dear. Go.
Go, my son! Be successful!
Let's go!
Let's go.
Beware O sage!
Beware O king of Madra!
Beware O Sage!
Beware Karna!
Beware Ashwathama!
Beware Uncle Shakuni!
Little uncle.
Beware, uncle!
Sage Drona! Sage Kripa! Ashwathama!
Krit Balma! Dushasan! Karan!
I want the boy dead! Attack!
Beware!
O Brahmin! O son of Bharadwaj!
I am Abhimanyu, son of your disciple Arjun.
I want to ask you.
Have you forgotten the rules of war..
..made by Grandsire Bhishma?
Wasn't there a rule that only one warrior is supposed to fight another?
Fight on, child!
Your, death is certain. There's no way out.
Brave warriors don't search for escape routes.
If you are not cowards, duel with me.
Sage. I, too, am Lord Krishna's disciple.
Don't think I can't fight you together.
I will fight.
I will surely fight.
I don't want history..
..to know you as cowards because..
..one of you is my father's teacher..
..another a bother and a friend!
O God. Abhimanyu is surrounded by the best warriors.
Each one is an expert, equal to a hundred men!
How will I face Arjun?
It is my misfortune that..
..I shall die..
..at the hands of cowards.
Father! Father!
When you return after sunset..
..ask this land..
..how your son fought against these cowards!
You are a teacher!
You are the greatest warrior!
O Sage! Is this the warrior code that..
..all warriors together..
..should attack an unarmed warrior?
O son of Bharadwaj! O disciple of Parshuram!
Is this war ethics?
O uncle! O brother!
Accept Abhimanyu's last respects!
"O sweetheart! By the time you get.."
"..this letter of mine.."
"I may or may not.."
"..be alive.."
"..in this world. O sweetheart!"
"The brave warrior fought alone."
"With seven warriors at a time."
"He was vanquished and killed."
"Pride stood downcast!"
