'The war did not stop even after Ghatotkach's death.'
'The Pandavas wanted to mourn for Ghatotkach..'
'..but could not do so in between the war.'
'So, they wiped their tears and continued to fight.'
'Ghatotkach's death enhanced the morale of Kauravas.'
'So, they fought with greater determination.'
'In Hastinapur, Dhritrashtra was still worried.'
I share the grief of your grandson Ghatotkach's death.
Thank you, Sanjay.
Duryodhan has made a very foolish move.
He used a divine power to kill Ghatotkach.
He should have used it to kill Krishna or Arjun.
Had any one of them.. died..
..Duryodhan's victory would have been certain.
Prince Duryodhan is in the battlefield and you are here.
He may have thought it best to get rid of Ghatotkach.
Even Sage Drona was helpless before him.
This was affecting the army's morale.
Strategically the prince made the correct decision.
After Ghatotkach's death..
..Sage Drona is like a river in flood.
None can dare stop him.
The Pandavas army is trapped and helpless.
Seeing this, the King of Virat is approaching Sage Drona.
O Sage! The use of divine power does not befit you.
Why? Because I am fighting Arjun's army?
I know these Gods very well.
O Indra!
Don't you know that it was you who took..
..the divine shield and earring from Karna?
O Sage! I am a representative of the Gods!
On their behalf, I request you not to use divine weapons.
Even the sage desires it!
Divine weapons should be used only to protect religion.
How do you know I am not on the side of religion?
O Indra! I am protecting my truth..
..while my opponents are protecting their religion.
Wait, O Son of Bharadwaj!
My respect to Lord Brahma!
At his moment I stand amidst a river of blood.
Please tell me how I can serve you!
No need for that!
In the Lord's name, stop the use of divine weapons.
It violates the Brahmin Code.
You are a giver of knowledge.
Why have you embraced the path of a warrior?
My teacher, Sage Parshuram, is also a Brahmin.
He, too, has gone to war many times.
The one who holds the Vedas is a Brahmin.
But when he raises a weapon he becomes a warrior.
As the Commander of the Kaurava army..
..it is my duty to protect Hastinapur and its army.
Don't stop me from doing my duty.
O sage! It is my duty to warn you.
If your are determined to violate the Brahmin Code..
..than I cannot stop you.
You may use any weapon you choose but..
..you very well know why Dhristadyama was born.
O Brahma! None can go against your wishes!
I did not ask Dhrupad for a promise.
My wife would paint my son's lips with rice paste..
..so that he could tell his friends he had drunk milk.
Dhrupad did not keep the promise he gave me..
..but I fulfilled his promise.
I gave him half a kingdom and made him my equal.
Even then my coward friend Dhrupad..
..would not give up his pride.
He married his daughter to Arjun..
..who had defeated him in war..
..but forgot that Drona was his friend.
If you still think it is my fault, then so be it!
In Indraprasth, when he wanted a blessing for his son..
..I did not refuse him.
Did I not know why he wanted that blessing?
I knew!
Even then my friend wanted a blessing for his son.
Even in Kurukshetra, I did not fear the blessing..
..given to Dhristadyama and did not forsake Dhritrashtra.
I am Indebted to the Kurus.
The person who did no own a single cow..
..now has hundreds of cows.
Therefore, forgive me.
I know the Pandavas will eventually win.
They deserve to win!
I am the commander of this losing side.
I am only doing my duty.
O Brahmin! What are you doing in the battlefield?
Go to the hermitage and teach the princes.
That is your duty.
O King of Virat!
If your weapons are not for show..
..then fight me!
Ask your charioteer to think of..
..easy ways of escape.
Wherever he takes your chariot..
..my arrows will stop him.
O Brahmin! Make use of Brahma's weapon.
You are not worth using the Brahma's weapon.
Beware!
Take the chariot towards the Virat King.
I wont let you live Drona..
..on account of King Virat's death!
You have killed a brave warrior.
If you don't stop barring my way..
..then another brave warrior will die.
This is our last meeting.
Let's pay respects to each other.
You are not worthy of my respect.
Move forward.
Today Sage Drona has repaid my debt.
He has killed two brave warriors in one day.
It is an auspicious day for Duryodhan.
Now, if he can only get rid of Krishna..
..then Duryodhan is safe.
A father who has lost 98 sons is happy today.
Really very happy!
Look and tell me who he is fighting now.
Prince Duryodhan is saying something to him.
He must be praising Sage Drona.
Listen carefully and tell me every word.
Killing the Virat King and Dhrupad is not enough.
I want the Pandavas' corpses
Their killing is not that easy.
Why would I tell you if it was easy?
You have divine weapons. Even Gods cannot fight you.
And you cannot defeat your own pupils?
If you cannot kill them when they're awake..
..then kill them while they are sleeping.
I cannot fight a war of treachery.
Go away! Let me fight!
The truth is, like Grandsire, you too do not wish to fight.
Remember! A war is fought only for victory.
You are not fighting this war for my victory.
98 of my brothers have already died fighting..
..but those five bothers are still alive.
I am a warrior, not the Lord of Death.
Take the chariot ahead.
Look, Krishna!
I am seeing everything.
Everything.
Nobody can defeat Sage Drona today.
Can't defeat him in war?
Do you mean we will lose the war today?
I did not say that!
One thing is definite! None can defeat Sage Drona..
..if all the rules of war are strictly followed.
There's no harm in doing evil to protect truth.
What are you saying?
I am merely suggesting an idea, Arjun.
The one who opposes truth is a symbol of evil.
It is every person's duty to vanquish such evil.
Anyone who does not to that will also be evil.
That is a mere logical argument!
Logic is the basis of life.
Life is meaningful when belief is rooted in logic.
Do you agree that this is a war of truth?
Of course, it is!
You also agree that..
..Sage Drona is an obstacle to the victory of truth?
Yes! I agree!
Then you must also admit that the sage's defeat..
..is necessary for the truth to triumph.
The protection of truth can never be evil.
You did not think twice about making..
..Shikhandi face Grandsire.
What should we do now?
There's only one solution.
If he is made to believe Ashwathama is dead..
..he will give up his arms in mourning.
Forgive me, O Krishna.
Victory is not worth the price.
Who are you to win or lose this war?
It is your duty to fight evil.
Do your duty and forget about its result.
O Krishna! I do not know the art of falsehood.
O Yudhishthir! Will you not side with truth?
If there is no other way for truth to triumph..
..I am willing to bear the burden of sin.
I will bear this burden of sin.
The churning of the sea did not yield nectar alone.
It also yield poison.
The one who drinks this poison is Lord Shiva.
Did not Lord Ram violate the rules of war to kill Bali?
Do you know the name of that elephant?
It's called Ashwathama.
I have killed Ashwathama!
Ride on, charioteer! I have killed Ashwathama!
Be careful, Elder Brother.
Sage Drona may not believe Bheem and may ask you.
I have killed Ashwathama!
Take my chariot to Yudhishthir.
I do not want your respects.
I want the truth.
Is it true that my son Ashwathama is dead?
Answer my question!
Ashwathama the elephant was killed
What are you saying, Sanjay?
Yudhishthir lied to win a war?
The truthful one!
Krishna has truly spoiled my sons.
Totally spoiled my sons!
But his logic was faultless.
Whatever goes against me and my sons will seem faultless to you.
Tell me of Drona's condition.
As you wish, my Lord.
The sage has shed his weapons.
Bheem is saying something to him.
What is he saying?
It befits a Brahmin to teach, O Teacher!
How did you became a warrior?
These are your teacher's weapons.
Crush them under your chariot, if you wish.
I still cannot believe that..
..my son Ashwathama was killed by you.
Yes, Yudhishthir will not lie.
Hence, I have shed my weapons.
A disciple is like a son.
Bheem! If you were not my disciple..
..I would be standing over your corpse.
No, Krishna! Move aside Sahadev! Let go of me!
Leave me Nakul! Leave me!
Dhristadyama! I'll never forgive this cowardice.
I'll kill you!
You have killed my unarmed teacher!
Dhristadyama! You are a coward!
Arjun!
I'll kill Dhristadyama! I'll kill him!
What crime has Dhristadyama committed!
Panchali!
Why did you stop?
You'll have to get rid of me before my brother.
Do I have any importance in this family?
O warrior! I am the same Draupadi..
..who was dragged by her hair to the Hastinapur court.
I am the same Draupadi who was disrobed..
..and five brave warriors watched mutely.
Sage Drona on whose death you are so angry..
..sat quietly in the same court.
When my unarmed son Abhimanyu was killed..
..this very Drona led the other killers.
No coward can dare pay respects to my father.
Yudhishthir.
I am not the one whose death you announced to my father.
Cowards! Look at me carefully!
I'll never forgive you for this act of cowardice!
I'll make you pay the price for my father's death!
My respects, Grandsire!
What blessing shall I give you?
I cannot bless you with victory.
Would you like the blessing of a long life?
No, Grandsire!
The chief of a losing side cannot desire a long life.
If you really wish to bless me..
..wish that I am freed from Duryodhan's debt.
The Chief?
Yes, Grandsire!
Then Sage Drona is..
O Hastinapur!
What is the fate?
Will none survive till Duryodhan's last moment?
There is a lot wrong with him..
..but my heart feels for him.
Had Dhritrashtra not burdened him with his own ambitions..
..Duryodhan would not be self-destructive.
Your becoming Commander only means..
..you are going to leave him soon.
You are his friend.
Tell him that he is a warrior.
It does not befit a warrior to be a slave.
Allow me to leave. My respects, Grandsire.
My respects, Krishna.
What was the charioteer's son doing here?
Don't keep insulting Karna like that.
This is not he language of brave warriors.
I know who Karna's mother is.
She is to be respected.
Do you really know Karna's mother?
All mothers are alike dear Nakul.
They are all to be respected.
Accept Krishna's respects, Grandsire!
Won't you bless me?
No!
I am honored by your presence.
O Krishna!
Give me a part of your merit..
..so that my life is also a success.
Success and failure are mere words.
Who knows this better than you..
..that these words have no meaning?
Victory, defeat, success and failure are..
..mere names for the result.
The result is not in your hand.
Did you know the result when you took the oath?
If you knew, you would not have taken the oath.
If Sage Kingdom's curse had not intervened..
..King Pandu would still be ruling..
..and Dhritrashtra would not be addicted to the throne.
Duryodhan too would not be in the hell of ambition.
If all this would not have happened..
..you would not be on this bed of arrows.
This is the end-result of your oath..
..which lies in shreds because you did not know the result of your oath.
Do not hold yourself responsible for..
..what has happened, is happening and will happen.
You have a right to your salvation.
Yudhishthir?
Why are your brothers heads not able to carry their own weight today?
We have committed a grave crime.
Crime?
Did you turn your backs in the arena?
No, Grandsire!
Did any one of you kill an unarmed warrior?
They are not talking about Abhimanyu.
Then what did they do?
They themselves will tell you.
Then why are hey standing silently?
Their crime cannot be greater than..
..the Wax House, the game of dice or Draupadi's insult.
Sage Dronacharya!
Sage Dronacharya has died..
..due to a lie spoken by me, Grandsire. One lie.
Lied!
Yudhishthir! You lied?
You?
Go away from here!
If it was in my power..
..I would remove this moment from my life.
My dear Yudhishthir lied!
O Mother Satyavati!
If you removed all your unwanted moments..
..you would have no life span left.
The five brothers could not defeat Sage Drona.
What could they do? Lose this holy war?
So that Duryodhan could rewrite history?
Deny the Wax House and call Draupadi a whore?
Prove that this holy war never happened?
That he was on the side of truth in this war?
For Sage Drona, Dhritrashtra's debt..
..was greater than truth.
But they were not alone.
You were with them.
How long can a Bhishma or a Drona last..
..when you stand before them?
I have sworn not to take up weapons in his war.
So what? Did you not run to attack me?
That was my tribute to your bravery.
I had heard you had left behind your naughtiness..
..in the by lanes of Gokul.
Which means you have forgiven them?
Who can refuse you anything?
Tell the King of Madra that..
..Karna is waiting for him outside.
As you say.
Sorry for the delay, Commander.
Do not embarrass me.
In my enthusiasm, I have come before time.
It is an honor to have you as my charioteer.
Lord Krishna on that side and you on this side.
What can a mere charioteer do?
I can only try to save you from Arjun's accurate arrows.
The charioteer alone can do nothing!
Arjun's accurate arrows will be on fire.
I know that but..
..Karna too has accurate arrows in his quiver.
I know all that but..
..you too have tasted Arjun's arrows in Virat.
Even the Kaurava army could not face Arjun.
That army also had many great warriors like..
..Bhishma, Sage Drona, Kripa, Ashwathama..
..Duryodhan and yourself.
Besides, that war was on behalf of Virat.
This is his own war.
The Wax House, the game of dice, Draupadi's insult and..
..the deepest wound of all, Abhimanyu's death.
All those wounds have ignited his anger.
Even a Brahmin's weapon cannot pierce that anger.
This is open partiality.
Shalya should not cross the limits of a charioteer.
Do not talk of limits, my lord.
Why?
Why shouldn't I talk about limits?
Both Abhimanyu's and Drona's deaths are fresh in the mind.
Bharat's dynasty has lost all its values.
The Lunar dynasty is on the decline.
It is a poisonous darkness.
Who knows when this night will end..
..and the sun will rise in Hastinapur?
"All values have been lost.."
"..enveloped in a dark night."
"None is willing to listen.."
"..to any words about ideals."
"Let's welcome.."
"..the new world with new ideals."
"Let's welcome it!"
