00:00:06.505 --> 00:00:08.578 align:center
(Ram) <i>For as long as heroes
are held in humanity's heart,</i>

00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:12.066 align:center
<i>countless generations
will always know...</i>

00:00:12.353 --> 00:00:16.313 align:center
<i>The Legend of Hanuman.</i>

00:00:17.065 --> 00:00:19.145 align:center
(Ram) <i>Ravan has taken
to the battlefield.</i>

00:00:19.386 --> 00:00:22.053 align:center
<i>He has already slaughtered
countless brave</i> vaanars.

00:00:22.705 --> 00:00:26.652 align:center
(Jambhvan) <i>Ravan's blow
would have slain even a god.</i>

00:00:27.005 --> 00:00:28.352 align:center
<i>We must pray,</i>

00:00:28.492 --> 00:00:31.425 align:center
<i>Hanuman returns
with the</i> sanjeevani <i>herb before then.</i>

00:00:32.218 --> 00:00:34.996 align:center
(Ravan) <i>You have revelled
in your full power</i>

00:00:34.997 --> 00:00:37.125 align:center
<i>while I have held back.
But no more.</i>

00:00:38.018 --> 00:00:40.212 align:center
<i>It's my turn now!</i>

00:00:40.718 --> 00:00:46.751 align:center
My mind, my power, my will
and my strength, now finally be one!

00:00:47.012 --> 00:00:51.258 align:center
This is the silence
before the storm, Hanuman.

00:00:52.585 --> 00:00:58.870 align:center
Ravan has unified
his ten aspects fully.

00:01:14.345 --> 00:01:17.233 align:center
(Ravan) <i>Today all three</i> lokas
<i>tremble at the name of Ravan</i>.

00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:19.229 align:center
<i>But there was a time</i>

00:01:19.505 --> 00:01:24.544 align:center
<i>when another</i> asur <i>was eating
the</i> devas <i>for lunch.</i>

00:01:24.977 --> 00:01:26.344 align:center
<i>Vritra.</i>

00:01:26.345 --> 00:01:32.011 align:center
<i>The</i> devas, <i>in their weakness,
cried out for a saviour.</i>

00:01:32.526 --> 00:01:34.104 align:center
<i>Hearing their prayers
and calls for aid,</i>

00:01:34.105 --> 00:01:35.707 align:center
<i>Sage Dadhichi answered the call.</i>

00:01:35.865 --> 00:01:38.730 align:center
<i>and Vishwakarma formed</i>

00:01:38.985 --> 00:01:42.107 align:center
<i>an indestructible weapon
from his bones.</i>

00:01:42.785 --> 00:01:47.629 align:center
<i>The fool thought himself invincible.</i>

00:01:48.844 --> 00:01:50.816 align:center
<i>The battle was spectacular,</i>

00:01:51.257 --> 00:01:53.715 align:center
<i>magnificent and unseen
in many an age.</i>

00:01:54.515 --> 00:01:57.893 align:center
<i>Vritra almost swallowed Indra whole.</i>

00:01:58.465 --> 00:02:01.372 align:center
<i>In that moment, Indra struck.</i>

00:02:01.485 --> 00:02:03.794 align:center
<i>The</i> Vajra <i>flew true
down the beast's throat,</i>

00:02:03.795 --> 00:02:05.665 align:center
<i>piercing its stomach.</i>

00:02:06.596 --> 00:02:09.028 align:center
They crowned Indra
king of the gods.

00:02:09.863 --> 00:02:14.423 align:center
<i>He thought he was the most powerful
being in all the realms.</i>

00:02:14.985 --> 00:02:16.080 align:center
<i>The fool!</i>

00:02:16.265 --> 00:02:18.836 align:center
<i>When I came for his kingdom,</i>

00:02:19.679 --> 00:02:22.798 align:center
<i>Indra thought his precious</i> Vajra
<i>would save him.</i>

00:02:22.962 --> 00:02:24.921 align:center
<i>He had defeated the asur, Vritra,
after all!</i>

00:02:25.213 --> 00:02:27.786 align:center
<i>But Ravan is no ordinary</i> asur.

00:02:28.865 --> 00:02:31.486 align:center
<i>Only then did Indra understand.</i>

00:02:32.402 --> 00:02:34.917 align:center
<i>True power never comes
from a weapon.</i>

00:02:35.094 --> 00:02:36.864 align:center
<i>It comes from the unstoppable
force of will.</i>

00:02:36.865 --> 00:02:40.124 align:center
<i>And there is no will
greater than mine.</i>

00:02:40.945 --> 00:02:47.644 align:center
<i>I am immortal, unending,
the bane of the gods.</i>

00:02:48.665 --> 00:02:51.504 align:center
<i>Stopping me is impossible.</i>

00:02:52.243 --> 00:02:53.911 align:center
<i>Impossible.</i>

00:02:54.545 --> 00:02:56.851 align:center
(theme song)

00:03:40.914 --> 00:03:42.474 align:center
(soldiers grunting, groaning)

00:03:43.172 --> 00:03:44.846 align:center
(swords clanging)

00:03:46.425 --> 00:03:50.162 align:center
Enough, Angad! I can still fight.

00:03:50.282 --> 00:03:52.574 align:center
Uncle, just rest,
at least for a moment.

00:03:54.374 --> 00:03:55.893 align:center
A moment?

00:03:55.894 --> 00:03:59.048 align:center
Every moment we lose
two hundred of our men.

00:03:59.962 --> 00:04:04.050 align:center
Wherever he steps he spreads ashes
and funeral pyres.

00:04:04.473 --> 00:04:05.859 align:center
In the silence of the dead,

00:04:05.860 --> 00:04:09.408 align:center
only one thing is audible,
his fearsome...

00:04:10.442 --> 00:04:11.584 align:center
laugh?

00:04:11.585 --> 00:04:13.172 align:center
(laughing echoes)

00:04:16.681 --> 00:04:19.353 align:center
(foreboding music)

00:04:21.445 --> 00:04:23.755 align:center
All ten heads at once!

00:04:25.226 --> 00:04:27.770 align:center
But there is no righteousness
in any of them.

00:04:28.020 --> 00:04:29.356 align:center
You're still here?

00:04:29.665 --> 00:04:32.545 align:center
You did not run away
like your army of cowards?

00:04:32.703 --> 00:04:34.804 align:center
There are no cowards
amongst the <i>vaanars</i>, Ravan.

00:04:35.021 --> 00:04:37.871 align:center
Is that so? Prove it.

00:04:40.213 --> 00:04:41.673 align:center
(thuds)

00:04:43.290 --> 00:04:44.697 align:center
(grunts)

00:04:44.804 --> 00:04:46.290 align:center
(groans)

00:04:51.221 --> 00:04:53.000 align:center
(grunts, groans)

00:04:58.585 --> 00:04:59.645 align:center
(grunts)

00:05:01.642 --> 00:05:03.321 align:center
(whooshing)

00:05:05.052 --> 00:05:06.572 align:center
(grunts)

00:05:13.505 --> 00:05:14.585 align:center
(yelps)

00:05:23.073 --> 00:05:24.433 align:center
(loud thud)

00:05:28.665 --> 00:05:30.038 align:center
(chuckling)

00:05:30.889 --> 00:05:33.990 align:center
Are you done? My turn.

00:05:35.467 --> 00:05:38.274 align:center
(foreboding music)

00:05:40.392 --> 00:05:42.125 align:center
(choking)

00:05:42.785 --> 00:05:45.840 align:center
Send my greetings
to your father, boy.

00:05:46.463 --> 00:05:48.851 align:center
He was once a good friend of mine,

00:05:49.115 --> 00:05:52.404 align:center
so I granted his son
a chance to live.

00:05:53.014 --> 00:05:55.546 align:center
But now all I will grant you is...

00:05:56.010 --> 00:05:57.398 align:center
death.

00:05:57.585 --> 00:05:58.985 align:center
(distant thrum)

00:05:59.845 --> 00:06:01.385 align:center
(whooshing)

00:06:03.717 --> 00:06:04.804 align:center
(grunts)

00:06:08.117 --> 00:06:09.644 align:center
(explosion)

00:06:11.970 --> 00:06:13.943 align:center
(whooshing)

00:06:22.583 --> 00:06:23.996 align:center
Ram! Hanuman!

00:06:24.266 --> 00:06:26.819 align:center
Now we will shatter
Ravan's arrogance!

00:06:27.945 --> 00:06:29.785 align:center
We shall break
his pride later, Angad.

00:06:30.042 --> 00:06:31.650 align:center
Come, let's get back to camp first.

00:06:32.532 --> 00:06:34.150 align:center
<i>Jai Bholenath!</i>

00:06:34.487 --> 00:06:36.966 align:center
This great battle is over.

00:06:37.288 --> 00:06:39.456 align:center
No one could survive that.

00:06:40.191 --> 00:06:44.139 align:center
We now need to take our army
and find--

00:06:44.498 --> 00:06:47.122 align:center
No! It's not possible.

00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:50.279 align:center
(sinister laughing)

00:06:55.503 --> 00:06:57.563 align:center
At last you see me
as I truly am, Ram.

00:06:57.821 --> 00:07:00.948 align:center
One Ravan was too much
for you to handle,

00:07:01.211 --> 00:07:04.374 align:center
and now my power is tenfold.

00:07:04.578 --> 00:07:07.092 align:center
I am truly invincible now!

00:07:07.416 --> 00:07:09.174 align:center
I am complete!

00:07:09.646 --> 00:07:11.317 align:center
Now what will you do?

00:07:11.928 --> 00:07:15.199 align:center
I have never been witness
to such a void of darkness

00:07:15.596 --> 00:07:17.670 align:center
that breaks the code of <i>dharma</i>.

00:07:18.247 --> 00:07:21.001 align:center
And complete?
Look in your heart, Ravan.

00:07:21.577 --> 00:07:25.710 align:center
Anxiety, anger, fear,
you are possessed by them.

00:07:25.916 --> 00:07:28.967 align:center
Whether you take ten forms
or a thousand,

00:07:29.436 --> 00:07:34.963 align:center
the truth is your life is plagued
by thorns.

00:07:35.864 --> 00:07:37.984 align:center
And your demonic laughter

00:07:38.139 --> 00:07:41.523 align:center
is but a mask to hide your fear.

00:07:41.931 --> 00:07:43.603 align:center
You are empty.

00:07:43.790 --> 00:07:47.536 align:center
Devoid of <i>dharma</i> before,
and devoid of <i>dharma</i> now.

00:07:48.672 --> 00:07:50.261 align:center
Enough lecturing.

00:07:50.798 --> 00:07:52.072 align:center
(groans)

00:07:52.648 --> 00:07:55.453 align:center
Forget whether I am complete or not.

00:07:55.740 --> 00:07:59.130 align:center
And be ready to collect
the ashes of your friends.

00:08:00.323 --> 00:08:02.717 align:center
We must save our people, Hanuman!

00:08:03.071 --> 00:08:04.097 align:center
At once, my Lord!

00:08:06.381 --> 00:08:07.936 align:center
Come then, Ram!

00:08:08.185 --> 00:08:10.924 align:center
Your <i>dharma</i> against my power
times ten.

00:08:11.425 --> 00:08:13.025 align:center
Let us see which is stronger.

00:08:13.466 --> 00:08:15.368 align:center
Let this be decided today.

00:08:15.962 --> 00:08:17.722 align:center
(wind whistling)

00:08:18.148 --> 00:08:19.735 align:center
(Hanuman) The sun has set, Ravan.

00:08:20.353 --> 00:08:22.429 align:center
Fighting now
is against the rules of war.

00:08:22.830 --> 00:08:23.997 align:center
Be patient

00:08:23.998 --> 00:08:27.601 align:center
for tomorrow's sunrise to die
at the hands of Lord Ram.

00:08:28.222 --> 00:08:30.468 align:center
(dramatic music)

00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:34.567 align:center
To think, you choose him, Sita?

00:08:34.568 --> 00:08:35.702 align:center
(clicks tongue)

00:08:35.796 --> 00:08:38.055 align:center
You threw my love away
for this coward who flees?

00:08:39.168 --> 00:08:44.390 align:center
(Ravan) <i>Soon you will marry me
over the burning corpse of Ram.</i>

00:08:44.736 --> 00:08:46.041 align:center
<i>Very soon.</i>

00:08:47.203 --> 00:08:50.049 align:center
Your ten heads do not have the power

00:08:50.463 --> 00:08:52.517 align:center
of the dust on my Ram's feet.

00:08:53.145 --> 00:08:54.355 align:center
He will come...

00:08:54.694 --> 00:08:57.928 align:center
like a winter storm
descending on Lanka.

00:08:58.505 --> 00:09:00.905 align:center
And he will take back his Sita.

00:09:01.288 --> 00:09:04.262 align:center
He will take back his Sita.

00:09:10.256 --> 00:09:11.962 align:center
(fire crackling)

00:09:17.169 --> 00:09:19.436 align:center
(tense music)

00:09:20.385 --> 00:09:22.370 align:center
You left the security of your homes

00:09:22.490 --> 00:09:26.454 align:center
and your families
to join me in this war.

00:09:26.700 --> 00:09:32.241 align:center
Left everything behind,
except your dignity and <i>dharma</i>.

00:09:32.626 --> 00:09:34.437 align:center
But today I see...

00:09:34.614 --> 00:09:36.963 align:center
you are exhausted having to lift

00:09:37.392 --> 00:09:40.065 align:center
the burden of <i>dharma</i>
against this evil.

00:09:40.496 --> 00:09:43.882 align:center
The path of justice has many thorns
that has cut your feet,

00:09:44.146 --> 00:09:47.368 align:center
your body and your passion.

00:09:47.597 --> 00:09:48.923 align:center
But, my friends,

00:09:49.175 --> 00:09:54.212 align:center
the longer you pull the bow,
the further the arrow flies.

00:09:54.985 --> 00:09:57.063 align:center
This is the churning fire
of this great war,

00:09:57.183 --> 00:09:59.985 align:center
and you are the hardened steel
to come out of it.

00:10:00.471 --> 00:10:06.121 align:center
The hammers of injustice that fell
your bodies, shaping your souls...

00:10:06.452 --> 00:10:09.711 align:center
they are making you
into the invincible weapons

00:10:09.831 --> 00:10:14.473 align:center
that will shine the light
of truth and justice

00:10:15.305 --> 00:10:18.945 align:center
with which we shall pierce
the heart of darkness!

00:10:19.622 --> 00:10:21.669 align:center
(all cheering)

00:10:22.650 --> 00:10:24.853 align:center
Prince Ram! King Sugreev!

00:10:25.379 --> 00:10:26.560 align:center
I think I have the answer.

00:10:26.680 --> 00:10:28.307 align:center
The answer? To what?

00:10:28.308 --> 00:10:30.175 align:center
The destruction of Ravan.

00:10:30.586 --> 00:10:33.026 align:center
(intense music)

00:10:36.602 --> 00:10:38.702 align:center
(metal clangs)

00:10:40.608 --> 00:10:41.866 align:center
(metal clangs)

00:10:49.436 --> 00:10:51.874 align:center
They can never destroy me.

00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.345 align:center
My ten heads have become one.

00:10:55.712 --> 00:10:58.520 align:center
I now have ten times the power,
ten times the intellect,

00:10:58.740 --> 00:11:00.448 align:center
ten times the anger,

00:11:00.841 --> 00:11:02.711 align:center
ten times the wisdom of the gods.

00:11:02.992 --> 00:11:04.892 align:center
The experience of ten lifetimes.

00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.930 align:center
I have collected it all within me.

00:11:08.367 --> 00:11:12.847 align:center
Every thought is tenfold,
my life is tenfold.

00:11:14.661 --> 00:11:17.555 align:center
I have become time itself.

00:11:19.718 --> 00:11:23.174 align:center
(Vibheeshan) So far,
we faced one Ravan.

00:11:23.577 --> 00:11:25.488 align:center
Now we face ten of him
on the battlefield.

00:11:25.874 --> 00:11:27.635 align:center
The most powerful of our weapons

00:11:27.795 --> 00:11:30.339 align:center
would hurt him as much
as the prick of a needle.

00:11:30.615 --> 00:11:32.517 align:center
Defeating him now is impossible

00:11:32.852 --> 00:11:34.383 align:center
without this.

00:11:34.825 --> 00:11:36.585 align:center
Yama's death arrow.

00:11:37.716 --> 00:11:41.747 align:center
Ravan snatched the very arrow

00:11:42.432 --> 00:11:45.826 align:center
that was meant for his death
from Lord Yama himself.

00:11:46.137 --> 00:11:47.530 align:center
Ravan is an immortal.

00:11:47.768 --> 00:11:52.850 align:center
But Yama's death arrow is beyond time.

00:11:53.956 --> 00:11:59.340 align:center
It erases someone
from ever existing.

00:11:59.780 --> 00:12:02.643 align:center
If this weapon is so powerful

00:12:02.980 --> 00:12:05.597 align:center
then why hasn't Ravan used it
against us?

00:12:05.859 --> 00:12:07.460 align:center
He's afraid to use it.

00:12:07.556 --> 00:12:09.208 align:center
Ravan? Afraid?

00:12:09.328 --> 00:12:13.327 align:center
This arrow was created
specifically to kill Ravan.

00:12:13.581 --> 00:12:18.944 align:center
And Yama's death arrow is beyond
his comprehension or his abilities.

00:12:19.672 --> 00:12:22.881 align:center
He is afraid that the knowledge
of this arrow

00:12:23.188 --> 00:12:24.666 align:center
will fall into the wrong hands.

00:12:24.815 --> 00:12:26.698 align:center
This is why he hides it.

00:12:26.905 --> 00:12:29.432 align:center
But where? That even I do not know.

00:12:29.633 --> 00:12:32.246 align:center
He must have told someone.
Indrajit, surely?

00:12:32.366 --> 00:12:35.980 align:center
It would have been too much
of a temptation for Indrajit,

00:12:36.175 --> 00:12:39.045 align:center
who was obsessed with mastering
divine weapons.

00:12:39.249 --> 00:12:42.129 align:center
Ravan could not risk his son
destroying himself by trying.

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.076 align:center
Or risk Indrajit having a power
greater than his own.

00:12:45.602 --> 00:12:47.257 align:center
But Ravan has other sons.

00:12:47.484 --> 00:12:49.615 align:center
Perhaps one of them knows
its location.

00:12:49.811 --> 00:12:52.041 align:center
Sons... and even a daughter.

00:12:52.314 --> 00:12:54.571 align:center
A daughter? Ravan has a daughter?

00:12:54.672 --> 00:12:56.872 align:center
(chuckles) Suvarna Matsya.

00:12:57.018 --> 00:12:58.944 align:center
Even Indrajit was afraid of her!

00:12:59.318 --> 00:13:03.176 align:center
Born of one of Ravan's other wives
beneath the seas.

00:13:03.510 --> 00:13:07.110 align:center
A fierce and vicious race
of underwater demons.

00:13:07.315 --> 00:13:10.416 align:center
Suvarna Matsya inherited
her father's ambition and anger.

00:13:10.599 --> 00:13:13.891 align:center
But she could not bear to be trapped
in the gilded cage of palace life.

00:13:14.211 --> 00:13:18.324 align:center
She left, ages ago,
to claim her own kingdom.

00:13:18.938 --> 00:13:21.006 align:center
No one has heard from her since.

00:13:21.887 --> 00:13:23.003 align:center
Then you have no clue

00:13:23.135 --> 00:13:25.295 align:center
where Yama's arrow might be?
Not even a hint?

00:13:25.455 --> 00:13:28.255 align:center
I'm sorry, but Ravan didn't trust
anyone with its location.

00:13:28.415 --> 00:13:29.917 align:center
Apart from one...

00:13:30.335 --> 00:13:31.617 align:center
Mandodari.

00:13:31.703 --> 00:13:33.265 align:center
He trusts her for good reason.

00:13:33.656 --> 00:13:35.849 align:center
She would never betray her husband.

00:13:36.127 --> 00:13:39.287 align:center
Despite wanting to replace her
with another?

00:13:39.558 --> 00:13:42.367 align:center
Why does she have such loyalty
for a man who has none for her?

00:13:42.593 --> 00:13:45.482 align:center
Ravan has abandoned the path
of <i>dharma</i>, not Mandodari.

00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.952 align:center
Vibheeshan is right in saying
she will never betray him.

00:13:49.345 --> 00:13:53.025 align:center
Not on purpose.
But what if she could be tricked?

00:13:53.229 --> 00:13:55.812 align:center
That means you will have to return
to Lanka, Hanuman.

00:13:56.070 --> 00:13:58.186 align:center
I cannot place you
in such danger again.

00:13:58.330 --> 00:14:00.035 align:center
But, brother, what danger?

00:14:00.397 --> 00:14:03.664 align:center
When the Sun God himself
could not stand against

00:14:03.665 --> 00:14:05.758 align:center
Hanuman's firm resolve
and unwavering determination,

00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:08.044 align:center
what difficulty is there
in him going to Lanka?

00:14:08.415 --> 00:14:10.512 align:center
We don't have any more time,
Lord Ram.

00:14:10.814 --> 00:14:12.614 align:center
As soon as the first rays
of dawn arise,

00:14:12.751 --> 00:14:16.111 align:center
Ravan will return
to decimate our army.

00:14:16.465 --> 00:14:19.930 align:center
Yama's death arrow
is the only hope we have.

00:14:20.524 --> 00:14:22.265 align:center
Just try not to get distracted

00:14:22.905 --> 00:14:25.185 align:center
by Lanka's famous fruit trees...

00:14:25.585 --> 00:14:26.785 align:center
Hanuman.

00:14:27.462 --> 00:14:28.655 align:center
(laughs)

00:14:28.802 --> 00:14:30.404 align:center
Don't worry, Uncle Jambhvan.

00:14:30.556 --> 00:14:32.184 align:center
I'll be back
before you notice I'm gone.

00:14:32.185 --> 00:14:34.129 align:center
I'm already familiar with Lanka.

00:14:34.265 --> 00:14:37.080 align:center
At that time, you turned it into
history's largest bonfire last time.

00:14:37.585 --> 00:14:39.545 align:center
This time, try to leave
some of the city standing.

00:14:39.730 --> 00:14:43.165 align:center
Vibheeshan still needs a home
to return to.

00:14:43.752 --> 00:14:45.712 align:center
(chuckles) I am not worried.

00:14:46.361 --> 00:14:48.449 align:center
Whatever Hanuman does,
he will do correctly.

00:14:48.938 --> 00:14:50.290 align:center
He is wise.

00:14:50.820 --> 00:14:53.201 align:center
Learned, virtuous,
and very clever...

00:14:53.345 --> 00:14:55.921 align:center
I'll do my best, but no promises.

00:14:56.119 --> 00:14:58.765 align:center
(soft music)

00:15:04.305 --> 00:15:05.671 align:center
(rustling)

00:15:08.935 --> 00:15:10.859 align:center
My Queen. Please, you must eat.

00:15:11.674 --> 00:15:12.769 align:center
Leave me.

00:15:12.889 --> 00:15:14.648 align:center
Please eat something.

00:15:14.836 --> 00:15:15.936 align:center
You haven't eaten anything since--

00:15:15.937 --> 00:15:17.196 align:center
I said <i>leave</i>!

00:15:17.345 --> 00:15:19.145 align:center
(gasps) Yes, my Queen!

00:15:25.298 --> 00:15:27.098 align:center
There is no need to hide.

00:15:27.341 --> 00:15:28.672 align:center
I know you're there...

00:15:28.792 --> 00:15:29.994 align:center
Hanuman.

00:15:31.178 --> 00:15:32.218 align:center
(soft thud)

00:15:32.352 --> 00:15:35.334 align:center
How... how did you know?

00:15:36.190 --> 00:15:38.294 align:center
There are no <i>vaanars</i> in Lanka.

00:15:39.021 --> 00:15:44.265 align:center
I used to bring my sons, Indrajit and
Akshay, here when they were little.

00:15:44.665 --> 00:15:49.264 align:center
To play, to get them away from
the palace, even for a little while.

00:15:49.265 --> 00:15:52.246 align:center
This was a place of peace once.

00:15:53.535 --> 00:15:56.921 align:center
My boys...
They were my beautiful boys.

00:15:57.936 --> 00:16:00.699 align:center
You killed my sons.

00:16:00.700 --> 00:16:04.437 align:center
Here, in this very garden.

00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:06.826 align:center
My aim was never to snatch sons

00:16:06.827 --> 00:16:08.816 align:center
from a mother's loving arms,
O Queen.

00:16:09.585 --> 00:16:11.905 align:center
(melancholic music)

00:16:12.285 --> 00:16:14.415 align:center
I heard a rumour about you.
When you were a child.

00:16:14.855 --> 00:16:16.683 align:center
You tried to eat the sun.

00:16:17.262 --> 00:16:18.556 align:center
Is it true?

00:16:18.557 --> 00:16:19.698 align:center
How did you--

00:16:19.787 --> 00:16:21.558 align:center
Answer my question,

00:16:22.294 --> 00:16:28.594 align:center
and perhaps I'll let you ask me
what you came here to learn.

00:16:28.745 --> 00:16:30.615 align:center
You know why I'm here?

00:16:30.838 --> 00:16:35.026 align:center
You seek the only way
to defeat my husband.

00:16:35.470 --> 00:16:38.538 align:center
You want the Yama arrow.
His only weakness. Am I right?

00:16:40.032 --> 00:16:44.437 align:center
But first, I must know
how my extraordinary sons

00:16:44.717 --> 00:16:47.190 align:center
were overpowered by a mere <i>vaanar</i>.

00:16:47.660 --> 00:16:50.020 align:center
It's because you are far
from ordinary, aren't you, Hanuman?

00:16:50.551 --> 00:16:56.069 align:center
Did you truly as a child believe
you could conquer the sun itself?

00:16:56.545 --> 00:16:58.466 align:center
It wasn't just about the fruit.

00:16:59.286 --> 00:17:01.338 align:center
It was about proving
I could leap that high.

00:17:01.810 --> 00:17:03.277 align:center
You were a strong-willed child.

00:17:03.705 --> 00:17:06.953 align:center
Do you know
who also has that strong a will?

00:17:07.677 --> 00:17:10.156 align:center
The Lord of Lanka, Ravan.

00:17:10.566 --> 00:17:14.851 align:center
This will is what empowers Ravan.
He nurtures it.

00:17:15.577 --> 00:17:17.292 align:center
He knows...

00:17:17.452 --> 00:17:21.463 align:center
that his will is the strongest
in all three <i>lokas</i>.

00:17:21.976 --> 00:17:24.929 align:center
His will prevailed over Indra.

00:17:25.188 --> 00:17:27.244 align:center
He placed the Sun God in chains.

00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:31.003 align:center
But you... a mere child...

00:17:31.526 --> 00:17:35.994 align:center
tried to capture the sun
with your tiny hands.

00:17:36.691 --> 00:17:37.791 align:center
(chuckles)

00:17:37.990 --> 00:17:39.843 align:center
You remind me of your mother.

00:17:40.706 --> 00:17:42.878 align:center
I knew her once.

00:17:43.134 --> 00:17:44.995 align:center
Did you know my mother?

00:17:45.255 --> 00:17:49.563 align:center
Yes. She was not Anjani,
but Punjikasthala back then.

00:17:49.815 --> 00:17:51.344 align:center
An <i>Apsara</i>.

00:17:51.517 --> 00:17:53.682 align:center
My mother? A celestial nymph?

00:17:53.772 --> 00:17:54.952 align:center
(laughs)

00:17:55.059 --> 00:17:57.058 align:center
I was cursed by Goddess Parvati,

00:17:57.455 --> 00:17:59.929 align:center
and your mother was cursed
by Sage Durvasa.

00:18:00.354 --> 00:18:02.266 align:center
And it changed our lives.

00:18:02.455 --> 00:18:04.763 align:center
I became a queen,

00:18:05.469 --> 00:18:09.514 align:center
and she became a <i>vaanar</i>
and a mother.

00:18:09.600 --> 00:18:13.297 align:center
Your doting mother, Hanuman.

00:18:13.885 --> 00:18:18.599 align:center
Now, tell me the story, Hanuman.
Or leave my sight.

00:18:20.434 --> 00:18:21.624 align:center
I was a child.

00:18:22.197 --> 00:18:24.817 align:center
How was I to know
that my small hunger

00:18:25.088 --> 00:18:27.491 align:center
that day was going to cause
such a big problem?

00:18:29.785 --> 00:18:31.492 align:center
(birds chirping)

00:18:36.668 --> 00:18:37.914 align:center
Ma!

00:18:38.034 --> 00:18:40.704 align:center
If he tells me once more
that he's hungry...

00:18:40.948 --> 00:18:42.646 align:center
I'm so hungry.

00:18:42.905 --> 00:18:45.360 align:center
You just ate! More than I even ate.

00:18:45.361 --> 00:18:47.955 align:center
How you can still be hungry?
Dinner won't be ready till evening.

00:18:48.449 --> 00:18:49.704 align:center
You'll have to wait.

00:18:49.705 --> 00:18:51.629 align:center
But I need food <i>now</i>.

00:18:53.385 --> 00:18:54.586 align:center
Please, my darling mother.

00:18:54.587 --> 00:18:57.217 align:center
I'm starving! Your son will
wither away to nothing.

00:18:57.621 --> 00:19:03.058 align:center
I'm so weak. So weak from hunger.

00:19:03.425 --> 00:19:05.965 align:center
(groans)

00:19:08.570 --> 00:19:12.456 align:center
There's only one way
to save your son, Ma.

00:19:12.810 --> 00:19:14.932 align:center
Fill my belly!

00:19:15.052 --> 00:19:20.837 align:center
Milk, butter, <i>laddoos</i>, mangoes...

00:19:20.952 --> 00:19:23.192 align:center
(sighs) There's plenty of mangoes
all around us.

00:19:23.410 --> 00:19:24.964 align:center
The fruits are ripe!

00:19:25.145 --> 00:19:31.683 align:center
Now, go! Unless you want to help me
with my chores?

00:19:32.491 --> 00:19:35.253 align:center
I'll, er...
I'll go and get some fruit.

00:19:35.643 --> 00:19:37.074 align:center
That mischief maker.

00:19:38.439 --> 00:19:39.832 align:center
(chuckles)

00:19:40.293 --> 00:19:43.724 align:center
You didn't want to help your mother?
Shame on you.

00:19:44.324 --> 00:19:46.412 align:center
I, er...

00:19:46.649 --> 00:19:51.456 align:center
Boys! You're all the same!

00:19:52.028 --> 00:19:54.529 align:center
Your poor mother had to bear
your shenanigans.

00:19:54.857 --> 00:19:56.085 align:center
So what happened next?

00:19:57.137 --> 00:19:59.401 align:center
Did you get your fruit?

00:19:59.836 --> 00:20:02.314 align:center
Oh, I got more
than I bargained for...

00:20:03.041 --> 00:20:04.830 align:center
(yelps) Hey! Who dares?

00:20:05.095 --> 00:20:06.809 align:center
Listen, come up here!

00:20:06.950 --> 00:20:10.171 align:center
I'm collecting sticks.
You should join me.

00:20:10.361 --> 00:20:12.396 align:center
I can't work on an empty stomach.

00:20:12.869 --> 00:20:14.593 align:center
Look at those sweet, sweet mangoes.

00:20:14.724 --> 00:20:16.609 align:center
Eat these,
and you will gain strength.

00:20:16.729 --> 00:20:17.921 align:center
Next time.

00:20:18.041 --> 00:20:19.146 align:center
And anyway,

00:20:19.147 --> 00:20:23.461 align:center
the ripest mangoes are at the top.
Everyone knows that.

00:20:24.230 --> 00:20:27.519 align:center
The ripest are at the top.

00:20:30.432 --> 00:20:31.759 align:center
(whooshes)

00:20:37.592 --> 00:20:40.592 align:center
(gasps) Now that is a fruit.

00:20:41.054 --> 00:20:43.488 align:center
And it's all mine. All for me!

00:20:43.825 --> 00:20:45.019 align:center
(grunts)

00:20:46.592 --> 00:20:47.919 align:center
(grunting)

00:20:49.872 --> 00:20:51.327 align:center
(grunts) Almost!

00:20:54.179 --> 00:20:56.552 align:center
(dramatic music)

00:20:59.489 --> 00:21:05.673 align:center
I'm... gonna get it... here!

00:21:06.222 --> 00:21:08.705 align:center
Anjaneya! Where are you, son?

00:21:08.945 --> 00:21:13.705 align:center
I felt bad,
so I made your favourite sweet.

00:21:14.195 --> 00:21:15.367 align:center
Anjaneya?

00:21:16.424 --> 00:21:20.744 align:center
(Hanuman) <i>Higher and higher I went!</i>

00:21:21.024 --> 00:21:24.728 align:center
<i>Eyes only for the fruit
dangling just beyond my reach.</i>

00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:27.601 align:center
<i>I wanted that fruit so badly.</i>

00:21:28.439 --> 00:21:29.982 align:center
<i>But I wasn't the only one.</i>

00:21:31.229 --> 00:21:32.343 align:center
<i>Rahu.</i>

00:21:35.235 --> 00:21:38.433 align:center
<i>And he was even hungrier than me</i>

00:21:38.692 --> 00:21:40.714 align:center
(low growling)

00:21:41.022 --> 00:21:43.730 align:center
<i>But only one of us
could satisfy our hunger.</i>
