'War knows neither age nor generation.'
'At one end of Kurukshetra..'
'..on a bed of arrows lies Bhishma.'
'At the other end is Abhimanyu's pyre.'
'One old man and a youth.'
'In between are more generations of Bharat's clan.'
'This war has enveloped its four generations.'
'The pyre has added to the fire of war.'
'Every heart is aflame..'
'..burning the warrior in its fire.'
'Burning every warrior in its fire.'
'But every warrior is..'
'..also some mother's son.'
'And this fire is burning every mothers sleep.'
'Countless mother are rendered sleepless.'
Kunti?
Why are you awake?
I cannot sleep.
Mothers whose sons are on the battlefield..
..can neither sleep nor stay awake.
Come! Let's pray!
I'll pray for a long life for your sons.
You do the same for my sons.
Why put god in a dilemma?
He has to reject one of the prayers.
What happened, Kunti?
I don't know.
I feel like crying since evening.
Its certain that some big tragedy..
..has taken place in Kurukshetra.
A big tragedy has taken place.
We are living in the age of tragedies.
Hence, when my eyes fill with tears..
..I tell them to go away and..
..search for another pair of eyes.
My tears don't listen to me.
They don't listen to me.
May God protect this dynasty!
My respects grandsire!
Come, my child!
Say something, my child!
I do not have proper words for..
..what I am going to tell you today.
Have you come to tell me something?
I have come here to mourn.
In today's battle..
..your great grandson..
..Abhimanyu was killed.
So, the war has taught the fourth generation.
Who killed him, my child?
Sage Drona!
Sage Kripa!
Ashwathama!
Duryodhan! Shakuni! Dushasan!
And Karna!
How's that possible?
It was decided one warrior would fight another.
That was decided when you were the chief.
Sage Drona had arranged the wheel trap.
There, those seven brave warriors..
..surrounded my son and killed him.
Why didn't you rush to help him?
Susharma had taken me to the other end.
Jaidrath did not allow anyone to enter after him.
My son was left all alone.
All alone. And the..
..the seven warriors killed my unarmed son.
Wipe my tears, my child.
Arjun?
Those who surrounded and killed an unarmed youth..
..are not worthy of being called warriors.
They are cowards.
Forgive them for this crime.
The real murderer is Jaidrath..
..who stopped help from reaching him.
Don't forgive him, my child.
Don't forgive him.
Bless Uttara on my behalf and tell her..
..it is a matter of pride to be Abhimanyu's widow.
A matter of pride.
Where are you going?
The sun has risen, mother..
..and he's yet to wake up.
Have courage, my dear!
Ordinary people die ordinary deaths.
Warriors die on the battlefield.
Control yourself, my dear.
You have a gift from Abhimanyu.
Take great care of this gift.
The child in your womb is the future of this clan.
You must nurture him.
The war is about to begin.
Can a warrior sleep at such a time?
I'll wake him up!
Okay! Yesterday's war has tired him.
Let him sleep!
No! It's important to wake him up, yes.
Or else the other women will laugh at me and say..
..that I did not send him to the battlefield.
Don't worry!
The Kauravas can do no harm to Krishna's disciple.
All right! Should I wake him up?
No! It is a wife's duty to wake up her husband.
All right! Go!
O dearest! O heir of the lunar dynasty!
You have slept enough!
Wake up! It is time for war to begin.
Look, the armies are already on the battlefield.
What is this new strategy of sleeping?
And why sleep on the floor?
Wake up!
Get up!
Why don't you listen to me?
Look! He refuses to wake up.
He won't wake up now.
Why won't he wake up?
Mother, have I..
..really become a widow?
That cannot be! No!
No!
Don't cry! Hush!
- Be quiet. - No.
That cannot be! No!
Dear, since yesterday..
..truth and religion is indebted to you.
Today, every married woman is lesser to you.
As long as this earth lasts..
..married women will bow to you.
I have lost the very desire to live.
Lost the desire!
Live you must, my dear!
You will have to live.
You must live for Abhimanyu's son.
That's why war is undesirable.
You lose more than you gain by waging it.
Dear, it is a deal..
..in which even victory loses.
I have understood this today! Today.
Our army will definitely win this war but..
..when Yudhishthir sits on the throne..
..he will see it is marred by Abhimanyu's blood.
Mother!
The war has begun.
Take me to Jaidrath!
The Kaurav army stands between Jaidrath and us.
Nothing can stop me today.
Did I not say you can only control your actions..
..not the result!
Neither the sunrise nor the sunset is in your control.
Why is your dynasty fond of taking oaths?
Grandsire has taken an oath. So has Bhim!
And now you are trapped in an oath!
Did it befit them to trick a child?
Is it ethical for seven warriors to attack one?
Ask Lord Shiva to answer your questions.
Jaidrath was protected by his boon yesterday.
He had granted the boon with full knowledge.
He is God and God does nothing unknowingly.
Jaidrath's killing is essential.
But what was the need to take an oath?
Now your eyes will be on the sun and not the aim.
The eyes, and not the arrow, pierce the target.
The dust of your oath is in your eyes now.
Forgive me, Krishna!
I have already taken the oath.
Take me to Jaidrath.
I'll take you to him. Surely I will take you to him.
Today he is at the center of of Drona's lotus formation..
..twelve miles from here.
He may be 12,OOO miles away..
..but I'll kill him before sunset today.
If not, I'll immolate myself.
Take me to Jaidrath.
O Sanjay!
Warriors like Arjun should not isolate themselves.
It will be impossible to break the lotus formation.
How will I answer my brother Pandu..
..when I meet him in heaven.
He'll will say I did not try to save Arjun.
He can ask many more questions, king.
From the wax house to Draupadi's disrobing!
No! You do not know, my younger brother!
He did not even want to sit on the throne.
Grandmother's order compelled him do that.
He would have surely made Duryodhan his heir.
But Sanjay! He will definitely ask me..
..that why didn't I stop Arjun from committing suicide?
What answer should I give him?
You'll have to answer that question yourself.
Either Jaidrath or Arjun will die today.
Look into your heart and see who you'll like to see alive.
Jaidrath is my son-in-law, Sanjay.
I cannot even think of his death.
Arjun is like my son.
I cannot answer such a question.
I'll worship the God of fire and..
..request it not to appear when Arjun immolates.
This way both Jaidrath and Arjun will be saved.
It is not that I do not mourn Abhimanyu's death.
I do!
But warriors do die during a war.
I have sent my condolences to Yudhishthir.
It does not befit Arjun that..
..he makes his sister a widow.
I think Krishna will explain to him.
It is all Krishna's fault. Arjun was not even willing to fight.
Had he refused to fight..
..this war would not take place..
..and if this war had not taken place then..
.. Abhimanyu would be alive today.
Krishna has instigated this war.
God knows why this enmity!
O Krishna, take me to Jaidrath!
For, if the Kaurav army stands in the way..
..we do not have enough time. Let's go!
I'll take you Arjun..
..but start clearing the way.
As you wish!
Arjun is marching on! Stop him, o teacher..
..or he'll win this war before sunset.
My respects!
Do not stop me because..
..by Lord Shiva, if anyone stops me today..
..I'll kill him to reach Jaidrath.
So, please do not stop me today.
As long as I stand in your way..
..you cannot reach Jaidrath.
You'll have to kill me to reach Jaidrath.
As you wish!
At this rate it will soon be sunset.
Wait! Arjun! Vanquish your enemy before leaving.
You are not my enemy but my teacher.
I also know that none in this world can defeat you.
None can stop Arjun today.
What can I say to Duryodhan?
When Krishna brought the peace proposal..
..I had told Duryodhan..
..to accept it.
To give five villages to the Pandavas and end the quarrel.
But he did not listen to me.
O king, now that the nectar has flown away..
..why think and talk of it?
The nectar that flowed away does not make Duryodhan responsible for it.
You were responsible!
No! It was not I but my ill luck.
Tell me about the war in detail.
For, that is my punishment.
Scared by Arjun's determination..
..Duryodhan is moving towards Sage Drona!
Arjun has broken through the lotus formation.
And he is fast approaching the king of Sindhu!
We thought we would not be able to pass you..
..but you allowed him to get away.
I could not fire an arrow into his back.
If you can surround and kill a child you can do that.
O Sage! This is not your hermitage..
..to discuss the ethics of war.
This is the battlefield! Go and protect Jaidrath!
Jaidrath wanted to return to Sindhu last night..
..but I promised him that we would protect him.
Go and fulfill my oath.
I cannot leave this place.
I am not Jaidrath's body guard. I am the army chief.
I must also capture Yudhishthir for you.
You go and protect Jaidrath.
I'll wait here for Yudhishthir.
Arjun is not with him now.
It will be easy for me to capture him.
Go to protect Jaidrath.
As you order!
Let's go!
Why have you stopped?
The horses are tired.
Tired horses will not bring your victory.
But Krishna..
It is almost sunset, Krishna!
Yes! That's true!
Beware Arjun!
Duryodhan! Arjun is not on his chariot.
One of the rules of war was that..
..a chariot-rider cannot attack a foot warrior.
Grandsire made those rules, not I.
My rules say that kill an enemy wherever he is to be found.
I warn you!
Raise your weapon, Duryodhan
Raise your weapon!
Don't insult me by holding back. Fire at me!
Remember Arjun! Don't allow Jaidrath head to fall on the ground.
Whoever drops his head to the ground..
..will find his own head blown to a hundred pieces.
So use an arrow that will ensure..
..that Jaidrath's head falls in his father's lap.
That is the road to his salvation.
It will be so!
Duryodhan will get me killed today.
I would have been miles away by now.
What are you doing? Try to stop his chariot.
Why hasn't the sun set?
"When death stares into one's face.."
"..the mind cannot think of a life-saving strategy.."
"In such a moment even friends.."
"..seem to be enemies."
