Just like every flower is separate in a garland...
...every person in the family is separate
Just like a thread holds the flowers together...
...same such thread holds the family together
Without this tread no garland can be made
Nor a family
But this does not mean that...
...the thread is all important
A garland is neither flowers nor thread
It is a combination of the two
In a good family the unifying band is invisible
This thread should remain invisible
the garland should be visible
The family should be visible
Every flower in the garland can be different...
...in color and scent
This enhances the beauty of the garland
But the colors and scents...
...should not clash
They should be properly balanced
The same applies to the family
If ambitions clash...
...the garland is to blame
This is what happened in Hastinapur
Dhritirashtra blamed his Fate...
...and repeatedly said...
...then he was blind and so...
...could do nothing
The swamp in which Hastinapur is caught...
...is of Dhritirashtra's making
This is the Kurukshetra...
...towards which the story is moving
Purochan's house of wax...
...is the outer limit of Kurukshetra
The bodyguards of the Crown Prince...
...are all Duryodhan's men
The only reason they are around the house...
...is to prevent the Pandavas...
...from leaving the house of wax...
...once it catches fire
So, it is a race between...
...the planned day...
...and the miner
How are you feeling nowadays?
I am experiencing a new happiness
Three more days and you will be the Crown Prince
Three days are nothing
If you wish, you can even feel...
...your new future
Close your eyes and imagine
The house of wax is burning
The five Pandavas are...
...running about like rats...
...searching for a safe place
But they will never find one...
...because there are no safe places
So late!
Sorry to come here so late...
...but the news is very important
What's it?
Shakuni has decided to burn...
...the wax house on the moonless night
Who told you this?
Purochan's associates
Who will start the fire?
Purochan
Go to Varnavat and tell...
...the Crown Prince...
...to leave a night before...
...the moonless night
As you wish!
Moonless night. Hmm.
The fire will start on the moonless night
You should leave a night before that
Okay
Mingle with my own attendants
- Take some rest - Yes prince
Prince go and enjoy yourself
This is no place for a walk
I am busy. Please forgive me
I have a message from Yudhishtir
Then why are you wasting time
Give it to me and let me work
You are very rude
I am not here to be polite
I am here to dig a tunnel
This work should be finished a day before...
...the moonless night
We will burn this house and leave...
...on that day
Which means there are only two days
Yes. Two days
If you allow me to work...
...I should finish by tomorrow night
Tell the Crown Prince...
...that the tunnel will open in his room
Greetings. O Queen!
Greetings Prince!
We are obliged to you
What are you saying O Prince?
Protecting the nation...
...is the duty of every citizen
Even a Prince is a citizen
If he is not, he should try to be one
This tunnel is ready cover it
Allow me to leave now
My lord!
What happened Gandhari?
Why did you wake up?
I dreamt a terrible dream my lord
What dream?
I was worshipping Lord Shiva...
...when he got up and...
...began the Dance of Destruction
The third eye on his head opened
I stood there frightened
I picked up courage and asked:
O Lord Shiva!
Why do you perform...
...the Dance of Destruction in my house?
The Lord did not answer
He looked at me with pity...
...and left
In the deafening silence...
...someone called to me:
'Gandhari'
I turned
The Lord of Fire stood before me
I bowed to Him respectfully
He said:
O Worshipper of Shiva
Your house is to be destroyed by fire
Give me your word not to curse me
I asked Him:
What is my fault?
He said:
When lord Shiva refused to tell you...
...how can I?
Saying that he turned into a flame...
...and this house began to burn
We all began to search for a way...
...out of the fire
But we could find no way
I called out to Lord Indra
Lord Indra help me!
Order your clouds to rain...
...and put out the fire
Lord Indra appeared...
...and heard me out...
...but kept watching me
After that I woke up
Don't cry Gandhari
Your tears cannot put out...
...the fire that Lord Shiva...
Besides, Gandhari...
...it was only a dream
Lord Shiva himself...
...danced the Dance of Destruction
That was no ordinary dream
If I could interpret dreams...
...would I not interpret my own
So, sleep Gandhari
Try and see another dream
After this dream...
...I am unable to sleep
Purochan you are much too old...
...to wander about at night like this
Sit down
Bring some wine for Purochan
Drink some more!
The palace built by you and your sons...
...will be gone tomorrow
So, why don't you stay there...
...for one night?
I have come to invite you...
...to the palace after sunset
There will be plenty to drink
I have also arranged for meat
Let us celebrate our success tonight
No. We are not interested
Let's go mother
Let's taste the royal life
Okay. If you want to
We'll come Purochan
What's it uncle?
You seem to be very happy today
Yes, my son
It is very difficult to attain happiness
But when you do so...
...your happiness needs no bounds
What's the good news?
Haven't you heard of the proverb?
The traitor brought down Lanka
Purochan?
The Chief of Bodyguards will...
...take care of him
Tell me Uncle...
Learn to trust your Uncle Duryodhan
Don't worry
The Pandavas will never return from Varnavat
Yes, Their bodies will return...
...for their funeral rites
What's this?
What's wrong?
There's still time
Stop this treachery
How often will you keep saying that?
Till you say to me:
Don't tell me what your heart feels
Till then I'll repeat this
...before and after the deeds
Will you really be happy...
after becoming Crown Prince?
I doubt it
Even I have my doubts
My father lost the Crown...
...because of King Pandu
I cannot bear to watch his son...
...become king
I'll agree to your becoming king...
...but never Yudhishtir
Even if opportunity presents...
...this crown to me...
...I'll not accept it and...
...present it to you
Never talk of the Crown again, my friend
If I have to choose between you and Yudhishtir...
...I will always choose you
I do not like being indebted
Even after I have fulfilled the debt of friendship...
...I'll still be indebted to you
I may not like the path...
...you are walking along...
...I'll follow you
The king wanted me to welcome you...
...to the palace I have constructed with...
We'll drink to the king's health
The Pandavas must be sleeping
This wine has a strange taste
This wine is from the palace
Drink carefully or it will give you a kick
Give me a kick?
Impossible!
We should leave before midnight
The tunnel is ready
They are celebrating our death outside
I'll never forgive Shakuni for this treachery
Remove the carpet
We are not running away, Arjun
We are leaving
There's a difference
Besides, Uncle Vidur wants it that way
Probably he wants the conspirators to think...
...that the plot was successful
Remove the Carpet
You light the torch mother
No Sahadev
Mother is above this conspiracy
You go first, mother
No. Sahadev will go first. Go!
Vidur's strategy has shown the way
May lord Krishna bless it
The dangerous flame may itself...
...light up the path of freedom
Guard!
Did anyone leave?
No
How could anyone leave? Poor Pandavas
Whom the Lord protects
Who can harm him?
None can harm him...
...even if the world turns against him
Has Purochan gone mad?
He burned the house a day in advance
- was anyone saved? - None
And Purochan?
He, too, was burned in the fire
Good, Very good
Give Duryodhan the good news
Ask him to wait for me
- I am coming - Yes, my lord
...why hasn't Uncle come as yet
Uncle will come
Brave warriors should die on the battlefield
I'll always regret this all my life
You cannot fight their Fate, can you?
Even you have to admit...
...that they deserved a better death
If that gives you any happiness...
...I'll admit it
But I cannot resurrect them...
...to give them a better death
They were burned alive with their mother
What?
Which is why I, Shakuni, King of Gandhar...
...heartily congratulate and salute...
Duryodhan, Crown Prince of Hastinapur
You are indeed great, Uncle
May you live long!
Show us how you look on the throne
If you really want to see his glory...
...see him on the throne of Hastinapur
Come
Come Brother
Sit on the throne. It is all yours
At last my age-old dream is fulfilled
Now this throne is yours forever because now...
...your father will renounce the world
Has father been given the news?
Not yet...
...because only you have a right to this news
Only you
Now Let's go and give him the news
Wait
You will not be able to hide your joy
You sit here on the throne...
...and get a feel of it
Long live the king
The king of Gandhar is here
My lord
His coming here at this time is a bad omen
That's true
I hope the Pandavas are well
Why do you say that?
I don't know. It just came out
Let's see what Shakuni has to say
Shakuni
Long live the king
Is everyone all right, Shakuni?
If all are well...
...why would I disturb the king at this time?
What bad news have you brought?
Queen Kunti...
...and her sons are no more, my lord
No. No.
How did they die?
The palace which Duryodhan had built...
...caught fire
The fire was so fierce that no one...
...was saved
Don't drag Duryodhan into this
You had built it...
...and for this very purpose
I wanted to see Duryodhan Crowned...
...but not at the cost of the Pandavas
Brother
Don't say anything now, Gandhari
Leave my room, Shakuni
I wish to mourn my dear Pandavas
But I do not wish...
...that you witness...
...my tears
As you wish
This is terrible, Gandhari
My lord
I do not know Gandhari...
...if this is an accident or ***
What are you saying?
Duryodhan cannot do such a thing
But your brother can do anything
If this is ***...
...I'll never forgive myself
Never!
Tell me how can I...
...face Grandsire with this news?
But I'll have to tell him
God knows...
...how many more deaths Grandsire will mourn
Come
Long live the King and Queen
Tell Grandsire that Dhritirashtra is here
Should I wake him? Yes
God knows when he will get to sleep again
Do come in, my lord
What's wrong, my King?
Do not call me 'king' tonight
Call me 'son'
What's wrong, my son?
What's it?
We have lost the Pandavas
What?
Yes Grandsire
The palace which was built for Yudhishthir...
...was burned to ashes
Sister-in-law Kunti and the Pandavas...
...died in those flames
They were burned in those flames
I am going to my room
Tell everyone not to disturb me
When I get the strength to bear the loss...
...I will come out myself
Bhishma's heart was aflame...
...with the fire that burned the wax house
He shut himself up...
...and spent sleepless nights
The house of wax caught fire centuries ago...
...but I can still feel the flames
The history of treachery in politics is an old one
However, the fire in the wax house proved...
...that whenever Man has strayed from...
...the path of welfare...
...a symbolic burning has resulted
And that is exactly what happened
The result of fire is:
The foundation of the Future rises from the Past
But none other than Yudhishthir...
...could understand this secret
What's wrong, Brother?
You know what exactly is wrong
I wish I could thrash that Shakuni so that...
...he would remember it all his life
Anger does not befit a warrior like you
Does it befit a warrior...
...to run away from the wax house?
We did not run away Arjun
Remember, Lord Rama's exile resulted in...
...the destruction of Rawan, King of Lanka
Who knows, the road along which we are walking...
...may lead us to something worthwhile
But we cannot leave Hastinapur
It is our mother
No, Its is not our mother
This is our mother
But we will have to go to Hastinapur
Why? Why will we have to go?
What has it given us but tears?
Can you not see that...
...the doors of Hastinapur are closed to us?
Grandsire is bound by his oath...
and Vidur is helpless
All the others merely look to Duryodhan
My sons
This forest, too, is our mother
It gives us shade when we need it
It gives us wood to cook our meals
It gives us fruits to eat
I was happy with your father in this forest
Now, I'll be happy with you
I do not want a kingdom which can only offer...
...a house of wax to its Crown Prince
Mother
If you like this forest...
...we are all willing to stay here
But we need to go to Hastinapur at least once
Why?
To emphasize that...
...we did not run away to the forest
We have come to this forest...
...to honor our mother's wish...
...and because it is her order
Do not be disheartened
We will definitely go to the Hastinapur but...
...not now
Why not now?
This question does not befit Drona's disciple
I know you alone are enough to tackle Duryodhan
Do not forget that with Duryodhan...
...will be Grandsire...
...sages Dronacharya and Kripacharya
Can Arjun fire arrows against Dronacharya?
Can you arrest Grandsire like you did Dhrupad? +C1013
Can you face Mother Gandhari after killing...
...Duryodhan and Dushasan
No
Therefore. Wait!
You are large-hearted...
...so, bear the onslaught of Duryodhan
Your duty as his brother is...
...to save yourself from the onslaught...
...but not to retaliate
Explain to him that a fight between brothers...
...brings disrepute to the family
I do not agree...
...but if this is your order...
...that we wander about like cowards...
...while he enjoys at the palace...
...then so be it.
Karna
Aren't you happy to know that...
...Duryodhan's problems are over
Now the way to the throne...
...is absolutely clear
O King of Anga
First your friend became the Crown Prince...
...and soon he will be the King...
...and sit on the throne of Hastinapur
This is a time to celebrate, Karna
I am both happy and sad, Uncle
If a brave warrior is killed by treachery...
...all warriors should mourn him
We have to mourn five brave warriors
Even I agree with Karna
Now I will never be able to defeat him at mace
That would have been sweeter...
...than wearing the Crown
Had I killed him in war...
...I would have celebrated
This is the problem with warriors
They are very stupid
Who says the Pandavas did not die in war?
Conspiracy is also a weapon of war
Just because you don't know its use...
...it does not mean it is not a weapon
The Pandavas died in battle
Do not mourn them
They were brave
But your Uncle is braver
But Queen Kunti, too died in the fire
So what, Karna?
The chaff is ground with the wheat
So, Kunti also died
Bhishma, too, has accepted defeat...
...and retired to his room
How can he come out??
I have never laughed so much before
Bhishma, son of Ganga
Come, my king
Yes, my king
Do not call me 'king'
Today I am your older brother...
...asking you how to combat this danger
One should not forget...
...one's position even in such a moment
Even in such a moment you are...
...the King of Hastinapur
Okay, call me 'king' but tell me...
...when Grandsire will come out of the room
When his tears dry up
My tears have not dried as yet
We must convince him to come out
He is Hastinapur's soul...
...and it's strength
I am tired of calling out to him
My voice does not seem to reach him
Why don't you try?
He may respond to you call
Come Brother
Grandsire
Please come out, Grandsire
The sun and moon refuse to rise...
...because you have refused...
...to leave your room
Please listen to me, Grandsire
- Do not ignore me - Brother
No Vidur
My voice did not even reach him
But Vidur you can see
Why don't you go to his room...
...and see what he's doing
Even dreams cannot enter...
...his room without his permission
How can I go in without his permission?
I would suggest...
...that you go back...
...and wait for him to come out
Come Brother
Okay
Let's wait
Let alone Vidur
Even I, Time, Cannot enter...
...Bhishma's room without his permission
Even the God of Death cannot hope to enter
So, Bhishma is all alone in his room
Even I am not there
Outside his room the rules of Time...
...Continued to be observed
Days passed by...
...but Bhishma's door did not open
Then one day at the dead, of midnight...
...When I was waiting outside the room...
...Iooking at the door.
...it began to open slowly
That is not necessary
Don't the Pandavas...
...deserve the last rites?
No. They don't!
Because they were still living
Living?
Yes. Ask Vidur
Greetings Grandsire
Why didn't you tell me the Pandavas were living?
Forgive me but strategy demanded secrecy
So, strategy is more important than Bhishma
Had I told you that Shakuni and Duryodhan...
...had conspired to burn the Pandavas
- What would you have done? - What?
I am telling the truth
I'll ask Dhritirashtra about this
I doubt Brother knows...
...anything about this
I'll ask Duryodhan, Shakuni...
...That's why I didn't tell you
You taught me what? Know of politics
You had told me that in politics it is important...
...to control your tongue...
...and speak only when necessary
Had I told you before, you would have asked Duryodhan
The conspiracy would be broken
We would never have known how far...
...Shakuni and Duryodhan...
...are willing to go...
...against the Pandavas
Now we know
So, decide what has to be done
Where are they?
In a secure place
What's wrong, mother?
I am tired
Let's rest here
Even I am tired
Let's rest for some time
Hastinapur is not far from here
If anyone passes by, we may be recognized
But mother cannot walk any longer
My son Sahadev is tired
Let's rest for some time
Okay but it is dangerous
One suggestion
What if mother, Sahadev and Nakul rest...
...and we continue walking?
But we cannot leave them in the forest
I am not saying that
Then what?
I only said they should rest and...
...we should walk
It's the same thing
No. It is not
I'll show you
With his mother and two brothers...
...Bhim walks along the path
He had the swiftness of the wind
Like the incomparable wind was he
Stop him
Whether anyone recognizes us or not,,,
...I order that...
...we stop and rest here
Yes mother
Come sons
I am feeling thirsty
can we get some water?
I'll see, mother
Why don't you rest a little?
Go back to sleep mother
Who knows who will come in the forest?
Why not wake up Arjun?
I am older than him
How can I ask him to stay awake in my place
Why not wake up Yudhishthir?
How can that be?
I am younger to him
It is my duty to serve him
Go and sleep mother
Wake up your brothers if there is danger
What could be so dangerous...
...that I have to wake my brothers?
I am more dangerous...
...than anyone else
- sleep now - Okay
Hidimba
Wait brother. I'll be back
What's wrong?
It's been ages since I ate human flesh
My hunger is unquenched
This wine cannot replace human blood
No
One... two... three... four... five... six...
...Go Hidimba. Tie up five of them...
...and bring the sixth here
Brother. You know I do not like human flesh
A demon who does not like human flesh
Your in-laws will throw you out
I will arrange for 200 humans for your marriage
All the demons will talk about...
...how I married you off
Brother
Okay don't eat but get them for me
Okay
Hidimba was mesmerized...
...by handsome Bhim
Love blossomed in her heart...
...as she looked upon him
Her heart full of love...
...Hidimba prays to the Lord
Lord Shiva grant me this boon
May this warrior marry me
That's a hefty chap
Do you want to eat him alone?
Aren't you slavering now?
He is enough for tonight's dinner
I have lost my heart to him, Brother
Have you forgotten you are a demon
Losing your heart to a human
All the demons will laugh at us
Love knows no barriers
Shameless!
Aren't you ashamed to hit a woman?
No. Arjun
Two cannot battle one person. It's wrong
Now you can go without fear
I have killed the demon...
...who dared to attack you
The demon was my brother
Are you all right, Bhim?
Yes mother
Please accept me for your son
They will make a good pair
Your love has spoilt him, mother
But he is right
Even you, Brother
What's your name?
Hidimba. That was my brother Hidimb
Give me refuge
There's no harm in that
We all saw that...
...she sided with Brother Bhim...
...in the battle
She now has a right over Bhim
But we cannot leave Bhim here
Nor can he marry her
If that is what you feel...
...allow me to give up my life at your feet
No one has control over caste
Why is your son penalizing me for my caste?
It is true that I fell in love
If that is false...
...turn me away
But Bhim cannot stay with you forever
He can return after I have a child
What do you say?
What does Religion say?
Your desire is the greatest religion
I am in your refuge
Please protect me
Blessings to you
May you have sons
Congratulations, Brother
Look at you sister-in-law
Now our brother will get...
...plenty to eat at his in-laws
Then why don't you also come along
The Pandavas did not want to kill Hidimb
He was a mere milestone...
...where they left Bhim with Hidimba
But Hastinapur, caught in its problems...
...is standing still where it was
There is only Vidur...
...who is privy to the Future
He carries the weight of the Future...
...on his shoulders
Greetings
Please be seated
I have not come here to sit
Greetings Grandsire
My blessings to you
Please ask your husband and tell me...
...where the Pandavas are
Why don't you ask me that?
Yes but you refuse to tell me
You keep telling me that they are safe
I want to know where they are
And don't tell me about security
I have taught you Politics
You taught me ideal Politics...
...but this is not the age of idealism...
One has to do a lot to protect ideals
The Politics you taught me...
...did not say anything about the house of wax
I haven't come to the minister's house
I have come to Vidur to ask...
...where the Pandavas are?
At Ekchakranagri
Prepare for my journey to Ekchakranagri
As a minister I would do it
However, as Vidur I will oppose it
If people come to know where the Pandavas are...
...my efforts will be wasted
Then promise to keep me informed
As you wish
But what are they doing there?
God bless you
Give alms!
Time is all-powerful
Makes everyone dance to its tune
Even the Pandavas are forced...
...to ask for alms from door to door
May God bless you
Please give alms!
May God bless you
What are you thinking?
After a long time...
...I experienced happiness in your house
I was thinking of the Past
What is happiness?
It is a sweet
Then, give it to me to eat
You have it
Where?
In your sweet talk
Then, you too eat it
He's very talkative
Father has come
Coming
Help your aunt to clean the rice
Then what will I do?
I'll go first
Father
How's my son?
Giving sweets to aunt
Where did you get these sweets?
My words are sweet, aren't they?
Where's your sister?
- With auntie - Okay
Greetings mother
We have brought alms
Distribute it amongst yourselves
You always say that, mother
But without Brother Bhim...
...there's no fun in distributing food
There's no scarcity of food there...
...or else he would be back by now
It has been quite some time
He should have returned by now
He must be well fed
You tease him a lot
That is because he is fond of me
But mother...
...the truth is...
...there's no fun without him
Why were you born so early, my child?
Do you know what your birth means?
Your arrival means...
...time for your Father to leave
What's going on between mother and son?
I was telling him...
...it is time for his father to leave
Yes. That's true
Will you take your Son away?
You have a greater right over him
A mother has a greater right over the son
It is she who nurtures him
You are very sensitive
That is because I know...
...what a mother's love is
A mother's love is...
...unique incomparable
A mother's love is...
...all encompassing
There's nothing greater than a mother's love
Even if God were to be born as human...
...he would crave a mother's love
A child needs a mother's love...
...just like a plant needs land
I cannot seize my Son's mother from him
Mother
- Greetings - My blessings
Come son
Greetings Brother
- Greetings - Welcome
Your plate is waiting for you
Let him have a bath first
Brother must have already had a bath
Today we will really enjoy...
...our meal after a long time
But it doesn't seem as if...
...Brother Bhim has been fed well
Quiet
You take a bath, Bhim
Mother, if you feed me...
...why do I need to bathe?
Okay. Come
Why are you worried?
Let's go in
Cry softly
Do you want our guests to hear?
Brother
That's the only problem with her
A small thing and she starts crying
You are hiding something
You gave us refuge in your house
Your happiness is our happiness
Your sorrow is our sorrow
This is not sorrow but bad luck
I have often told her...
...there's no need to stay here
Let's go somewhere else
But she did not listen to me
What we always feared...
...has at last happened
What's happened?
She always told me the same thing:
Your ancestors have lived here. So should you
I say the same thing today
Allow me to go instead of you
Don't repeat the same thing
I won't allow you to go
While marrying you...
...I had sworn...
...to protect you from danger
You have spent a lifetime with me...
...given birth to my children...
...and looked after them
I cannot separate them from their mother
I'll go and that's final
I have a duty towards you and the children
I must do my duty
What about my duty towards you?
Your duty does not mean giving up your life for me
Why this talk of sacrificing lives?
One minute, auntie
I want to ask my parents something
Don't I have a duty towards you, my brother...
...and this house?
If yes...
...then you cannot decide alone
I'll go
No!
I'll not brought you up to be killed
Have you brought me up...
...to desert you...
in times of need?
That is not my duty as a daughter
A daughter has to be given away some time
So, give me away to the God of Death
No
You are not ours
You are God's gift to us which has...
...to be given to someone
You are a life-giver
Sacrificing you is like killing a generation
I cannot do that to save myself
Look at it this way
The demon Bakkasur needs one person a week to eat
You represent an entire generation
Then I will go
I'll kill the demon
Brother, tell me what is...
...your problem?
Who is Bakkasur and what does he want?
Bakkasur is a demon who lives outside the city
Thirteen years ago...
...he won this city from the king
The king ran away...
...and we were left to suffer the demon
Since then whenever he is hungry...
...he comes here...
and takes people
...to eat
Then we made a deal with him...
...to supply a good meal every week...
...along with a human sacrifice
He agreed to this offer
Every week we leave a good meal...
...and a human outside his cave
This week is our turn
There isn't a single warrior...
...in this ill-fated city...
...who will fight this menace...
...and save us from Bakkasur
Who will protect us when...
...the king himself has run away?
When the king is weak and a coward...
...the people should forget happiness...
...because social life...
...and family happiness is possible...
...only when the king is strong
I cannot sacrifice my wife...
...or children
So, I have to go
You forgot about my five sons
Impossible. I cannot do that
You are my guests
This house has given us refuge
Is it now our duty to protect it...
...like our own house?
- But... - But what?
God has given me five sons
Even if one is Killed...
...I'll still have four sons
But the house will suffer without the head
This is my own experience
Children should not be orphaned...
...because then they will face bad days
Therefore, it is important for you to live
Tomorrow, my son will go to the demon
Kunti's decision to...
...send one of her sons in place of the Brahmin...
...to Bakkasur is a significant one
for the city of Ekchakranagri.
Kunti's decision...
...is the foundation of life's ideals
It is the duty of the guest to protect...
...the house which has given them refuge
Kunti's decision gave...
...a new dimension to the meaning of 'guest'
The guest, too, is a part of the house...
...and it is his duty to protect it...
...just as a family member would
India's cultural history will always salute...
...Kunti for her decision
It is also true that such a decision...
...should not be taken alone...
...even if it is by someone like Kunti
Yudhishthir
What are you thinking?
Isn't it my duty as a guest...
...to help these people?
Isn't it your duty as warriors...
...to protect society from danger...
...and free it from it?
It's not that, mother
Both your arguments are correct
It is the duty of the guest...
...to protect his benefactor...
...and his house
If the house catches fire...
...will the guest escape the flames just because...
...he is a guest?
That is why I agree that...
...your decision was correct
The duty of the warrior is also clear
He should do his utmost...
...to protect his benefactor...
...from all dangers
Then what are you thinking?
I was thinking...
...as the eldest I should have gone
How can I ask a Younger brother to endanger himself?
I should go to this demon with the food
But why did you not remember me?
I salute your motherhood...
...but regret that you thought...
...of Bhim in this moment of danger
You assumed I would not be hurt
...by your decision.
I cannot sacrifice you because...
...you are not only my son but also...
...the Crown Prince
You belong to Hastinapur
I cannot sacrifice you or...
...I'll have to face Hastinapur
Than this honor should be mine...
...because I am the youngest
What are you saying?
When your older brother...
...is still there, how can you go?
Neither you nor Nakul can go
Either I'll take the meal to Bakkasur...
...or Bhim will
You cannot go
This is mother's decision...
...and she has chosen me to go
You did not answer me, mother
Why can't I go?
Can I say something?
I am not merely the second son...
...Just as you are not only the eldest
I am indebted to my brothers
How come, Bhim?
From the beginning...
...I have been eating your share of food...
If I have a right to half the food...
...then I have a right to...
...half the danger
Does anyone have an answer...
...to what I say?
Another thing
How did you assume...
...that Bakkasur would eat me the moment I go
This is an insult, mother
Brothers
The alms that we get do not satisfy me
Huge quantities are cooked for Bakkasur
Allow me to satisfy my hunger
You may go. Return victorious
Citizens. Accept this gift of mine...
...to protect this city
Thank you
You must be tired of pulling this weight
So, it becomes my duty...
...to lighten this load
Besides, I am a little hungry
Bakkasur is not going to weigh the food
He won't miss it
Both of you...
...eat the juicy leaves...
...in the forest
Why hasn't my food come as yet?
I'll eat everyone
I'll have my revenge
I'll eat everyone in the city
Who are you?
Why are you eating my food?
Wait a minute
Let me finish eating this
The food is very tasty
Even you seem very tasty
Plenty of meat on you
We should not have come this way at night
Bakkasur stays nearby
He has terrorized Ekchakranagri
- Who's this? - Bakkasur
Bakkasur is dead
Listen friends Bakkasur is dead
Let's tell the citizens
We should organize a ritual worship
Lord Shiva has favored us
That's necessary
We should also honor...
...those who have freed us
That, too, is right
It is now our responsibility...
...to look after the family
- Yes - Whose turn was it?
The Brahmin's family
Let's honor them
Let's go
Teach me how to fight
Or else I will fight you
No. You are a Brahmin
You are also a Brahmin
Teach me or fight
Teach me or be killed
He cannot fight you, my child
Why?
You will defeat him
You are stronger than Bakkasur
You are a human, my son
You are the strongest
Man is a representative of the Lord himself
Who is more powerful than Him?
But never misuse this strength
Looks like they are coming here
Of course, they are
I'll see
Yudhishthir
It's time to leave this city
Yes mother
If we wait here, we will be recognized
Panditji
Greetings
Congratulations
Why congratulate me?
Don't be modest
No modesty but...
...why congratulate me for...
...someone else's work
You freed us from the demon Bakkasur
Can we not even...
...congratulate you?
I knew you would come...
...but I did not kill Bakkasur
Modesty again!
I am telling the truth
Then did he kill himself and...
...carry his own body to the gate?
No sir
One of my guests has killed him
Did one of them do this?
The five of them have achieved this miracle
Obviously they have a spell...
...which could do this
Call the five brothers
We seek their blessings
Sure
Listen
Coming!
Call our guests
The citizens want to congratulate them
They have gone
Gone? Where?
They refused to tell me
When I insisted, they said...
...killing Bakkasur was not our life's aim
Had Yudhishthir not insisted...
...we would still be in the city
Yes
Why do you ask?
The citizens would have organized a feast...
...and we would be eating heartily
I take the efforts...
...and you feast
Mother has spoilt you
He is the youngest
When you were with Hidimba...
...he used to be sad
Without you he said...
...the food was tasteless
I could not digest the food
Am I a pill that your...
...digestion improves when I come?
How can anyone enjoy his food...
...when he is unhappy?
Everyone was unhappy when you were not there
Because we were living on alms...
...and you were eating two square meals
Okay. The Sun is about to set
Let us all camp here
As you wish, mother
Nakul, get some dry wood so that I can...
...prepare dinner
Yes mother
How long will we wander like this?
Wait for things to change in Hastinapur
Things will not change on their own
We will have to change it
Give it a chance to change on its own
The seasons change in time
The time is very near
Luck will give it a change
Have faith in the Lord
It does not take long for the season to change...
...in the arena of Politics
However, it does not take any orders...
...because change has its own speed...
...and direction
Every character chooses...
...his own brand of Politics...
...and its direction
Which is why, sometimes...
...the different brands of Politics...
...clash in the open field
For the moment, the open field is far away
So, I can only do one thing:
Walk along in any one direction...
...and wait for the season to change
Even Dhritirashtra is waiting for this change
He is hoping...
...that the Sun which rises on the Political horizon...
...will bring sunshine into the darkness of his life
What are you thinking, my lord?
How did you know I was thinking?
Had you not been thinking...
...you would have reacted...
...to the sound of my entering the room
What are you thinking?
What else can a person think of...
...But the marriage of his son?
I was thinking of Duryodhan's marriage
If he wins the princess of Panchal, Draupadi...
...Hastinapur will also benefit from the alliance
If Lord Shiva wishes it...
...so will it be!
Draupadi's coming here...
...will enhance our prestige
We will be grateful if you could...
...have dinner with us
Looks like you have spent your life among warriors
You have forgotten the way Brahmins speak
However, we accept your invitation
Are you all going to Kampilya?
What is happening there?
Why did you ask that question
Draupadi will select her husband
All the kings and princes are going there
But surely the Princess is not old enough...
...for marriage
She is an unusual girl
How come?
It is a long story. I'll tell you after dinner
You don't know but...
...the King of Panchal had a secret in his heart
What was I saying?
There was a secret in Dhrupad's heart
Draupadi's birth was a result of that
What was the secret?
You must have heard of Sage Drona
Who has not heard of him?
Sage Drona and King Dhrupad were friends...
...from childhood
In an emotional moment...
...the king told the sage...
...that half the kingdom was his
Sage Drona believed this...
...oblivious that a Brahmin could not dabble in Politics
When Dhrupad became king he went to him
He did not ask for the kingdom
Did he?
Ego does not befit a Brahmin
To achieve that he has to renounce the world
Sage Drona forgot this and tried to equal the king
Warriors are egoists
Dhrupad did not like Drona's doing this
He said this openly
Drona kept this in his heart
Why did Fate side with Drona?
Only God can tell
He was asked to teach the Hastinapur Princes
After having taught them...
...he asked his students to conquer Panchal for him
Gandhari's sons failed...
...But Kunti's sons were successful
But I must admit that...
...Drona was a true friend
He told Dhrupad: You did not share...
...what you had
But I won't do that
So, I give back to you...
...half of Panchal which is now mine
A Brahmin is a Brahmin
Drona did not understand Strategy
A kingdom cannot be shared
Dhrupad's heart began to seek revenge
His life had only one aim!
To find a way to avenge himself
He began to hope for a son...
...who would kill Drona
Such a son can only be conceived...
...through mediation and prayer
Dhrupad began to search for Sages
When Revenge is the aim
Intelligence is destroyed
Dhrupad does not want a son
He is in search of a weapon
Greetings Sage
You did not bless me
No, because I do not have...
...what you want
I only want a son, O Sage
Why do you want this son?
You want a weapon not a son...
...So as to kill Drona
You are asking for a curse...
...and I cannot give it
O Sage you know that...
...Drona humiliated me
I am burning in that fire of hell
You have invited this Hell
Get out of this Hell Which you have created
Life is priceless
Revenge cannot be its only aim
You are a Brahmin
To bless me is your duty
Instead of a blessing...
...I'll give you a name
Go to my elder brother, Sage Yaaj
He cannot distinguish between pure and impure
Knock at his door
I am grateful
Greetings
Greetings O Sage
How did you get here?
I wish to meditate for a son...
...who will avenge Myself on Sage Drona
I will serve you in any way for that
I'll give you an unusual cow
Upyaaj must have shown you this path
Yes, O Sage
He thinks I accept everything
But who will decide what is...
...pure and impure
Will Upyaaj?
If you are destined to get a killer for Drona then...
...you will get such a son
I did not write your Fate
God has done that
Can God do something impure?
If yes then...
...why haven't I done it?
If no...
...then how can helping your Fate...
...be wrong?
I'll definitely help you
Call the queen
Yes O Sage
Call the queen
The queen is bathing
The queen is bathing
Time cannot wait for anyone
In this unusual fashion were born...
...Dhristadyuma...
...and Draupadi
It is this Draupadi Who is to be married
I suggest you, too, go there with your sons
You will get enough alms to last you a lifetime
She must be beautiful
She is not an eatable, Brother
The ceremony must be worth seeing
Of course
The selection ceremony will be...
...unparalleled
Kings from all over India will be there
The Yadavs of Dwarka will be there
Then we must definitely go, mother
Yes, my son
I, too, want to see Draupadi
Come, Please sit
Father
Son
This gadget was installed with Arjun in mind
I only hope Draupadi does not remain unmarried
Why do you think like that?
All the noted warriors are here...
...including Sage Drona's disciples
Go and get Draupadi
Yes father
It seems the Prince has gone...
...to get the Princess
Look everyone is getting ready
Will you be taking part in the competition
How can I enter?
Why?
Draupadi is like my sister
- Is she our sister, too? - No
The king is my father's friend
I'm the family
If you win this competition...
...I will be very happy
There can be no doubt...
...about my winning...
...this competition
Be alert
Princess Draupadi is on her way
This is a significant moment for Kampilya
I welcome all of you...
...on behalf of my father
Every brave warrior of India...
...is present here today
Those who are absent cannot be brave
This is my sister Draupadi
That Brahmin seems well fed
He is not a Brahmin
Why did he bow to you?
I don't know
Why don't you give Straight answers?
Because your questions are not straight
Do you know him?
Even you know him
The one in front is Yudhishthir
The well fed one is Bhim
Behind him is Arjun...
...and then Nakul and Sahadev
That's what I was going to say
You cannot see anyone but the Pandavas
They were burned at Varnavat
Let me listen
My father has invited all of you
That is your aim
The eye of the revolving fish
You will have to look at the reflection of the eye...
...and hit the aim.
My sister will wed...
...whoever is successful...
...in achieving this
So, warriors that is the target
Those five arrows...
...and that is the sacred bow
Draupadi you are lucky
The bravest warriors are here for your hand
I welcome all of you...
...to begin your attempt
Look at his style
I am looking
Come on nephew
Did you see that?
Looks like Sage Drona has not...
...taught him to control his arrogance
Why are you dejected?
Hastinapur has been shamed
I will not allow...
...Hastinapur to be shamed
Long live King of Anga
Wait
I cannot wed a charioteer's son
If that is so...
...you will have a long wait ahead
Sages, rivers and warriors have no source
My friend has been insulted in this court
If that was the condition...
...why did you not announce it...
...in the beginning
Do not insult the host by...
...protesting loudly
Karna is our guest
He should know the traditional rules
As Sage Drona's disciple you should know...
...that a relationship is between equals
My divine born sister Draupadi...
...holds the garland
Surely it is her right to decide...
...who she'll wed
In any case, Karna was...
...right about one thing
At a ceremony where the bravest warriors...
...like Duryodhan, Sartaki, Jaivat, Jarasandh...
...are present, how can...
...no one be successful?
I was sure someone would win my sister's hand
Looks like the art of archers...
...died out with Arjun
Is there none so brave...
