'The sun set at Kurukshetra during the day.'
'Probably, none but the Sun God..'
'..could experience the darkness.'
'Karna, son of the Sun God..'
'..was not merely a warrior.'
'He was also Karna, the charitable.'
'Life did not give him anything but..'
'..he sacrificed his life for his loyalty.'
'It was not that Karna died on the battlefield.'
'This keeps happening during a war.'
'Karna was a warrior who embraced death.'
'O Sun God! '
'I mourn the death of your son Karna!'
Radheya! O Radheya!
You were really very brave!
All your life I did not respect you.
I found you next to me only because of Duryodhan..
..and I thought it was my insult.
I merely tolerated that insult.
O son of the charioteer!
O Radheya!
Hey, Karna.
The manner of your death has made you respectful.
O Brave Warrior!
O Charitable Karna!
I, Shakuni, the King of Gandhar..
..salute you a thousand times.
Princes!
Where's your crown, O King?
I have come to mourn with you and so..
..I have come bare headed.
There is no warrior in the battlefield today..
..whose death merits your leaving Radheya alone.
Who have you made his charioteer?
Is he as good a charioteer as Krishna is?
Instead of coming here to mourn..
..go back to my friend.
How will he fight without a charioteer?
What will a charioteer do without a warrior?
O King!
No! It is a lie!
It is a lie!
The Pandavas are experts at circulating lies.
Remember how they announced Ashwathama's death..
..so as to disarm Sage Drona.
O King! Tell me that my friend is alive.
Tell me that the news is false.
I am not quoting hearsay, prince.
I was Karna's charioteer.
I could not protect your friend and our Commander..
..but I am a witness to his courage and Arjun's cowardice.
India has produced many brave warriors in the past..
..and will do so in the future.
But there will be none to match Karna's courage.
No!
Servant!
Will I have to live without my friend Karna, now?
I cannot live without my friend!
I may forgive those cowards for killing my 99 brothers..
..but I'll never forgive them for killing Radheya!
From today, I appoint you the Commander of my army.
However, I will not have the honor..
..of fighting under your leadership today.
If there is a tomorrow, I shall surely fight.
Today I shall mourn for my dear friend Radheya.
On your guard, Yudhishthir!
On your guard, Commander!
Take my chariot towards the King of Gandhar.
On your guard, O King of Gandhar!
Where did the Pandavas learn to alert the enemy?
This is the tradition of warriors.
This is the battlefield, not the recreation hall.
Arrows are used here, not dice!
Treachery is still treachery, dear nephew..
..whether it is war or the game of dice. Beware!
Get up, dear nephew!
Nephew!
King of Gandhar!
Come, nephew!
Nephew!
Beware, dear nephew!
Uncle!
You cheat!
I'm dead. I'm dead.
Uncle!
Victory to Gandhar!
Today I am left all alone, Grandsire.
My friend Karna, my brother Radheya..
..has left me alone.
It does not befit a warrior to cy, my child.
Come and stand next to my head.
I did not cry like this even when Dushasan was killed..
..but Radheya's death has left me bereft.
His death has impoverished me.
Don't make the mistake of thinking of him as Radheya.
He was a Kaunteya!
Kaunteya!
He knew he was a Kaunteya!
And yet, he fought for you..
..and died fighting for you!
So, he was Mother Kunti's son!
A brother of the Pandavas!
And yet, he fought and died for me?
My son..
..the truth of Radheya's life was that he was a Kaunteya.
Today, with these aged hands..
..I pay my respects to the eldest son of Kunti.
Mother.
Why are you crying over the corpse of an enemy?
Let her cry, brother.
- Let's go! - No Krishna!
How can we leave mother weeping like this?
Tell us, mother!
Why are you honoring Karna with your tears?
All right! I have wiped my tears.
Now go away!
Carry away the corpses of your soldiers.
Go.
But why don't you tell us..
..why you are crying over that charioteer's son?
If I tell you..
..the Gandiva will slip down from your shoulders.
It was your arrows which killed him.
So, go away! Go away with your brother..
..and let me cry!
If I don't weep, the earth will be drowned in my tears.
Why don't you explain to mother..
..not to insult her tears by crying over an enemy?
- This Radheya.. - He is not Radheya.
Then who is he?
Kaunteya!
Yes.
My eldest son!
Your eldest brother!
What?
He's my eldest brother?
Why did you hide such a big thing from us?
No!
Yes! I hid it!
And paid the price for it.
I've died a thousand times a day since then.
Whenever anyone called him a charioteer's son..
..I would suffer.
But I would not let anyone see my suffering..
..in the fear that someone would ask..
..why I felt so deeply for Radheya.
What could I say?
I was helpless, my son!
I was helpless.
Your silence resulted in such a big war.
Thousands of soldiers were killed.
India has paid a heavy price for your helplessness.
You are responsible for every corpse..
..on the battlefield.
Your silence has made us our elder brother's killers.
In this battle field..
..with my brother's corpse as witness..
..I curse all womanhood.
From today they'll never be able to keep a secret.
The 17th day and innumerable corpses..
..stand between truce and me.
If I can get dear Radheya back..
..I may think of a truce.
If I can get back Dushasan I may think of a truce.
If the arrows piercing Grandsire are removed, I may think of truce.
Just like all this is not possible..
..a truce is not possible.
I cannot insult my dear friend Radheya's loyalty..
..my brother Dushasan's love, my teacher Sage Drona's death..
..and Grandsire's wounds by calling for a truce.
I don't want future generations to call you a coward's mother.
So, I have no other option but to wage war.
Can you with the setting moon as witness..
..bless me with victory?
No, my son!
I'll not give you that blessing.
After losing all my sons..
..I'll not give you that blessing.
But, as a devotee of Lord Shiva, I can protect you.
My son.
Go bathe in the Ganges and..
..come straight here from the river bank.
But like the day you were born.
Naked mother?
Why are you shy of your mother?
Don't ask such questions!
As you wish!
My respects, Mother Gandhari!
Come, Giridhar.
Come, Madhusudan.
No!
I'll call you Devaki's Son!
Come, O Son of Devaki!
I'll respond to whatever name you call me by.
I am sure you remember that..
..seventeen days ago..
..I was a mother of a hundred sons.
Today..
..I have only one son left.
Between a hundred and one..
..lie innumerable corpses.
Son of Devaki!
I am sure you recognize those corpses.
They are the corpses of my sons.
Yes!
There is a corpse among those copses..
..which you'll recognize but do not know.
That is the corpse of the eldest son of Kunti.
What? Yudhishthir..
No!
He is not Kunti's eldest son.
Kunti's eldest son was..
..the one who was known as Radheya.
Radheya!
That's why mother, do not think that..
..my aunt Kunti has not lost a son.
He was Kunti's son?
Yes.
Please do not think that..
..none from my aunt's side fought for Duryodhan.
Duryodhan was afflicted by ambition.
Karna was afflicted by loyalty.
He knew everything and yet, fought for Duryodhan.
He died fighting his brothers.
Therefore mother, do not count the corpses.
You can say that O son of Devaki because..
..you are not a mother.
When you go to Dwarka after the victory..
..ask Devaki what it means to lose a son.
It is more painful than the labor pains.
She has wept over her sons, she'll understand my pain.
She'll also understand why I cursed you today.
Mother!
O Krishna!
You are responsible for this war.
If you wanted, this war would not have happened.
If you wanted, you could have stopped this war.
Yes! I could have stopped this war..
..but this war was necessary.
Listen, O son of the Yadavas!
I, Gandhari, devotee of Lord Shiva..
..curse you today that..
..like my dynasty the Yadu dynasty will be destroyed.
O mother!
I had thought
.. I would touch your feet before taking your leave.
But now I shall not touch your feet and create a dilemma for you.
If I touch your feet now..
..you'll be compelled to bless me.
That's why O mother..
..this son of yours takes your leave.
Prince Duryodhan! Where are your clothes?
You seem to be going towards Mother Gandhari's tent.
Will you go to your mother in this state?
It was my mother's order.
No doubt she's your mother.
She must have taken you on her lap many times.
But you are not a mother.
You are a son! That too a grown up son!
How can a grown up son go to his mother naked?
That is not the tradition of Bharat!
But then when do you ever revere traditions?
Go! Don't make your mother wait! Go!
Mother!
I have had my bath, mother.
Stand before me, my son.
As you wish!
My son!
I am going to open my eyes for a moment.
I have never seen your brothers but..
..I'll see you today.
What did you do, my son?
How could I come naked before you, mother?
But that's what I asked you to do!
The part of your body which was..
..hidden from my vision has remained weak.
The rest of your body is now made of iron.
If only you had listened to your elders..
..you would be unconquerable.
Shall I remove these leaves?
I am not a magician, my son.
I concentrated all my devotion..
..my purity, my worship and..
..my mother's love in that one look.
Don't worry!
I shall fight Bheem with the mace tomorrow.
It is forbidden to hit below the waist in mace warfare.
Tomorrow I'll give Bheem such a thrashing..
..that he'll die of fright.
Then I don't care how the war ends
Stop, brother!
You cannot cremate him.
I know, that..
..my friend was your elder brother.
But this not your elder brother's corpse.
It is the corpse of my dear friend Radheya.
You have no right to cremate Radheya.
Only I have that right.
Had you said this after sunrise..
..I would have killed you
Then wait for sunrise!
This is not the corpse of a Kaunteya.
This is the corpse of my friend Radheya..
..and only I have the right to cremate him.
Hey Arjun.
Did you rain arrows on your brother..
..or my friend Radheya?
Duryodhan is right.
His right to cremate Karna is greater than ours.
Yes.
I did not want to ever see your corpse.
Your going away like this..
..has left me all alone.
When my death stands before me..
..l'll think of you and my fear will vanish.
Dear friend!
Please accept the respects of your lonely friend.
Dear friend! As long as there's life on earth..
..you'll always be a symbol of friendship.
Blessed are you, Radheya!
"With the departure of my friend.."
"..all hopes of victory are lost."
"Only his tears are left.."
