A woman.
Amer's King Bharmal's daughter, Princess Jodha.
We had gone to rob the temple, sir.
But, I don't know how, Princess Jodha...
...reached there with her army.
Even during the attack instead of thinking about her safety...
...she sent all the soldiers to fight with us,.
Still, we lost only 7 soldiers, while they lost 16.
7 should have overpowered 70, right?
Forgive me, sire.
But, Princess Jodha was so beautiful that...
...all of us kept staring at her.
Then, describe her beauty in detail.
She was like a desert rose, sire.
She had a flawless face.
Her skin was velvety smooth.
While her body was so alluring that had it been possible...
...I would have sold myself and bought her, Your Highness.
Go and wear colourful clothes...
...dance and celebrate with everyone.
By the way, what did you say the Princess" name was?
Jodha.
What has happened, Jodha?
Who did this to you?
Sangram Singh, how dare you let Jodha get hurt?
The Mughals attacked the temple.
I saved the princess, but they kidnapped Motibai.
I saved her, too.
But, Motibai tried to kill herself.
The princess went to save her.
That's when all this...
"When you see your daughter very soon...
...her forehead will be smeared with red mud."
"For the first time, you will know into which family she will marry."
Sangram Singh, alert the army.
Close the main gate to the palace.
No stranger should enter the palace.
Changing circumstances have compelled me.
This festival ends here.
Forgive me.
Mother, what happened to you?
Come.
All of you are dismissed.
What are you doing, mother?
Motibai is fighting for her life. And you...
Look in the mirror and you will know that you are...
...looking like some tribal gypsy and not Amer's princess!
The red mud on your forehead, your untidy hair.
The Mughals attacked us, mother.
How did you let this mud stay on your forehead, for so long?
-Mother. -How did you let it stay on?
-Mother. -How did you let...
Why are you getting angry?
Don't worry! I will tell the maids to remove...
No. Sit.
-Nothing will happen to you. -Mother.
I won't let anything happen.
You won't change history.
Her predictions won't come true.
-Nothing will happen to you. -Mother, what are you doing?
What predictions? About whom? What are you saying?
There is no need for you to know.
Henceforth, if you step out of the palace...
...I'll make you regret it.
What are you saying?
Change your clothes.
I won't let anything happen to you.
I won't let anything happen.
What won't you allow, mother?
Tell me clearly, what is the matter?
Now, you look like my daughter, Jodha.
So, tell me.
What's the matter, mother?
Well, I slept in the afternoon.
I had a nightmare.
You love me so much.
I was in trouble...
...and you felt it, right here.
"I promise you, Jodha."
"I will remove all the impediments in your path."
"I'll change the course of destiny. And if...
...even if God comes along as destiny...
...I'll fight Him, too."
"History selects its warriors."
"It selects the characters in its stories, too."
"It chose Jodha and Akbar in India."
"It was impossible for both of them to meet. But, they did."
"Since history wanted to see a love story...
...that walks on the edge of the sword...
...and yet can't forget the tinkling of anklets."
After this...
...I've no hopes of staying alive.
Today, the Mughals have reached our borders.
Tomorrow, they will be at the fort.
The day after tomorrow they will reach the palace.
Forgive me, uncle.
But, it is all your fault.
You shouldn't have sent Jodha so far away.
If you hadn't sent her so far, she wouldn't...
You have given Jodha too much freedom, father.
If our daughters and daughters-in-law can't...
...roam fearlessly in their own realm, it's a slur on the Rajputs.
Whether it is the princess or Motibai...
...it is our duty to protect them.
We sent such a huge army unit with them. And yet...
...I don't know how you could make such a mistake.
Enough.
Stop talking nonsense.
Instead of pointing out my flaws, think of a solution...
...for the danger that is lurking at your borders.
What are you thinking about, uncle?
The Gangaur festival is approaching.
Send all important messengers...
...and invite all the Rajput kings.
Everyone will gather here, because of that.
I will offer them my friendship.
What are you saying?
How will they all come together?
Will Chittor ever be our ally?
No one will come forward to face the Mughals.
They tremble when they hear the very mention of the Mughals.
What do you think? Will all of them agree?
This time, the highlight of my proposal will be...
...not a truce, but an alliance.
What do you mean?
I mean to say, I will form an alliance with the kings.
We will include them in our family.
By marrying my daughters to them...
...I will make them my relatives.
In this manner, the entire Rajputana kingdom will unite.
I will find a suitable match for Jodha, under this pretext.
He should be a Rajput warrior, firm in his resolutions.
He should be a sworn enemy of the Mughals.
Jodha's wedding will be the symbol of Rajput unity.
It will herald the beginning of the Mughals" devastation.
Greetings, Your Highness.
I want all the information about Amer.
How many walls, doors, tunnels in the palace?
How many cannons? What's the strength of their army?
I even want to know, when they sleep and when they wake up.
How many times do they breathe, in a day?
How many times do they blink their eyelids?
Every little detail.
As you wish, Your Highness.
Greetings.
Did you send Sharifuddin to Amer?
Yes, Khan Baba.
It is necessary to know your enemy before the war.
I need your grace, sir.
If you could bless him.
He is a very sweet child.
Is he your first-born?
Yes, sire.
Then, this child must be dearer to you than your life.
Yes, sire.
You will have to do something for me.
Tell me, sire.
You will have to go to Agra.
The journey to Agra will take 30 days.
What?
Agra? Leaving my child and my wife behind?
Give these glass bangles to my wife.
Although, they are glass bangles...
...they are very valuable.
Because, my wife Salima likes them a lot.
Yes, sire.
When you come back, do bring my wife's message for me.
But, remember that none of the bangles should break.
While your darling child will remain in my custody, here.
What will happen, Khan Baba...
...if a single bangle breaks?
It won't break, Jalal.
This child is his weakness.
Once you latch onto someone's weakness...
...then, you can make that person do anything.
Now, this person is my slave.
Just as he used to take care of his child...
...now, he will take care of every single bangle.
This is called the power of the mind.
You have to play this mind game with the Rajputs.
Their weakness is their pride.
If you slay one, 100 will come forward.
If you will slay 100, then 1,000 will come forward.
You have to kill their pride, not them.
Forgive me, Your Excellency. You can't go inside.
An important meeting is going on.
Nothing can be more important than what I have to say.
What happened? Why have you come at this hour?
I wish to talk to you.
I know that the temple was attacked.
That is why, I called for this meeting.
So that, there are no loopholes in our security.
Regardless of who the enemy is.
What if destiny is the enemy?
Leave us alone.
We will have to think about Jodha's wedding, immediately.
What's the hurry...
...that you have come here to talk about the wedding, now?
Forgive me, my lord. I didn't tell you something.
"Your Jodha will marry into a Mughal family."
"And it's signs are an ash smeared face...
...untidy hair...
...red mud rubbed onto her forehead."
"This is destined and it is inevitable."
It's all nonsense.
It will never happen.
If I had my way, I would get Jodha married, tomorrow.
You must invite all the Rajput kings.
It will be, as you wish.
Now, it is confirmed that all the Rajput kings...
...will be Amer's guests during the Gangaur festival.
We will organise a huge assembly.
During that assembly...
...I will find a suitable match for Jodha.
Along with that I will announce...
...who will handle Amer after me.
All the Rajput kings will unite.
Then, no Mughal will be able to hurt their pride, ever.
It's breezy, Khan Baba.
It will be colder this time.
Winter wounds take time to heal, Jalal.
My army and I are used to it.
But now, even the Rajputs" prayers can't save them from my sword.
Jalal, you are occupying yourself with the Rajputs too much.
A disturbed mind is a minefield of mistakes.
In war, a mistake leads to death.
Why don't you enjoy this woman?
It is not a bad idea.
Leave me. Let me go.
Where are you taking my wife?
Your Highness, it's you?
Forgive me, Your Highness.
If I have committed a mistake, then, forgive me.
She is my wife. Don't do anything to her.
Beware. He is the king of this kingdom.
Whatever he likes, becomes his property.
But she is my wife, my love, my family.
Leave him.
Life or love?
Life...
...or love?
I will leave her, but, I will take your head, instead.
It is a very simple calculation.
But, it will be your decision.
Don't do anything to me.
You can do whatever you want.
Spare me.
Love is not important in life.
I don't understand how love rules your life.
Listen.
Listen, help me.
If you wanted...
...you could have come to me of your own free will.
Then, no one would have dared...
...to look at you.
But now, go.
Go to your husband.
To a person who doesn't have courage to save your honour.
And then keep thinking...
...of the love that binds both of you...
...and the real price of that emotion.
Amazing, Jalal.
We have to make them bow down in defeat, just like this.
If we behead them, they will be proud...
...that they were martyred, but they didn't bow down.
They will be called martyrs.
We have to make them bow their heads.
They have a high regard for their subjects and women.
When their women and subjects of their kingdoms...
...aren't safe in their realms, then their courage will break.
Then, God willing, their heads will bow down...
...before the Mughals.
Since childhood, I have learnt a new lesson from you...
...each day.
Now, I just want to know...
...what is most precious to the Rajputs?
Motibai. Wake up, Motibai. Get up.
What are you doing, Sukanya?
Is this the way to ask about a sick person's well-being?
Look at this. Who does that?
It's your fault and you are scolding me!
If you had not taken Motibai to the temple...
...then, she wouldn't have been unwell.
You are truly amazing! It is not my fault.
I went to worship the Goddess, right?
Why did you go? So, that you get a suitable match?
Listen to me. The Goddess is not going to be happy.
She has already chosen an idiot who has a paunch.
Really?
I will go and tell mother that you tore my stole, that day.
Then, I will watch, as mother teaches you a nice lesson.
-Idiot. -Fool.
Monkey. Monkey.
Donkey. Donkey. Camel's tail.
I am hungry.
Yes. Yes. Moti, what will you eat?
Lentils, fried dough dumplings, whole wheat crumble...
...cauliflower curry and vermicelli pudding.
"Whereas, Jalal was searching for...
...the biggest weakness of the Rajputs...
...on the other hand, King Bharmal and Queen Mainavati...
...were worried about their darling daughter Jodha."
"Jalal was disgracing love...
...and Jodha was oblivious to her mother and father's desires."
"They wanted to marry her off to a Rajput, as soon as possible."
"Jodha was spreading happiness with her goodness...
...and Jalal had focused all his might on the Rajputs."
"Fear was binding all the Rajputs together."
"All the Rajput kings were eager to be at the Gangaur festival."
"With the new dawn, Amer was going to become the focal point...
...of the Rajputs" decision and their future."
"Jalal wanted to spread darkness in Rajputana."
My greetings to the princess.
What happened, Santo?
Princess Sukanya and Princess Shivani are calling you.
They were saying, if you want to see the lights...
...if you want to see the parade, come along.
The parade?
Yes. All the Rajput kings are coming along with their princes.
Come to see them.
Alright.
I will look at the kings later...
...but, first let me tackle this king.
You can't defeat my king.
Why can't I? I can absolutely defeat him.
There is no one to save your king.
The king is always safe because...
...there are pawns around him.
Brother Sujamal.
The king who trusts his pawns can never win.
Here goes your pawn.
Only the queen can save the king.
Now, my horse has defeated your queen...
...and that's check and mate for the king.
Did you see that, brother Sujamal?
Today, an unprecedented event has happened in Amer.
I have defeated you.
Now, I have become even more courageous.
If I can defeat you in chess...
...then, I can defeat you at sword fighting, too.
Two swords can't stay in one scabbard...
...similarly, you can't have two thoughts at one time.
Actually, I was thinking about the assembly in the evening.
That is why, I lost.
I don't know, what decision uncle will make.
You'll see, brother.
Today, all of Amer will celebrate the joy...
...of you becoming the king.
If that happens, I will assume that I have won the game of life.
What do you mean, if it happens? It will happen.
The Rajputs are proud of your bravery.
And it is very important for...
...you to confront the Mughals.
Now, it is important for you to go from here.
Why?
Who knows? A handsome prince may be waiting for you.
I will find handsome princes for my sisters.
I will marry the brave warrior who has...
...the courage to bring Jalal's head.
-Hail Prince Jagannath! -Hail!
Look there, sister.
He's so handsome.
Well built.
He has a proud glow on his face.
And the mark on his forehead.
Like the pride of the Rajputs.
Yuck!
And the black mole on his cheek.
What?
That mole on his face!
He looks like a wrestler.
God...
...you laugh so loudly.
Now, that you've seen the princes...
...let's go down.
I can't depend on the maids...
...to arrange for the worship.
Now, that everyone is here...
...they'll discuss politics.
There'll be worship, too.
At the evening meeting...
...all of you...
...will be matched with a suitable husband.
-King of Bhanpur Suryabhan Singh. -Glory to him.
What happened?
He is Suryabhan Singh, Chandrabhan Singh's son.
Like father, like son.
I wonder, which lucky princess will become his queen?
Grandma, I don't know about the others.
But, I think sister likes Suryabhan.
This is called love at first sight.
A lot of work is pending. Come on.
Jodha.
Why are you wearing these clothes?
Why, mother?
Aren't these clothes good?
I brought new clothes for you.
See this? These ornaments, too. Wear them.
Please do hurry up.
The meeting will start at any moment.
But mother, these clothes are good.
As it is, they are going to discuss politics.
So, why is it necessary to dress up so much?
How will I look all decked up among all of them?
You will look beautiful.
Wear it quickly.
Your father is going to make an important announcement today.
I know.
But, that announcement is about brother Sujamal.
So, dress him up. Why me?
The announcement can be about you, too.
Wear them.
An announcement about me?
I like it.
Its gait, strength and colour is admirable.
It is worthy of my glory.
Forgive me, Your Highness.
But, the minister has already chosen it for himself.
So, refuse him.
Once His Highness chooses something...
...it can never belong to anyone else.
Doesn't Khan Baba have any sense?
-He expressed his choice, first. -Abdul.
How dare you speak against Khan Baba?
Now, this horse will belong only to Khan Baba.
Why did you give away the horse, Your Highness?
When you can't get your favourite thing...
...then, what's the use of such a kingdom?
Today, I have found out that not only are you handicapped...
...but, you talk wickedly, too.
Why don't I just behead you?
Then, you won't be able to speak ill, at all.
Your sword won't commit such a mistake, Your Highness.
Wouldn't its status decline by killing me?
I will lose my life, but you will lose your reputation.
What will people say?
His Highness killed an unarmed, handicapped person.
Unarmed, handicapped. Really?
I like you because I like your sharp mind and cunningness.
This sharp mind will always be loyal to you, Your Highness.
Go.
Allot this horse to minister Bairam Khan.
It's not the horse, but, the rider who is the mark of distinction.
The horse that His Highness will ride will be the best.
And all the others...
I hope that...
...some day you find out about Bairam Khan's motives.
So that you understand that you may be the ruler...
...but, Bairam Khan is the one who dictates the rules.
The host of Amer, the just king Bharmal...
...is arriving at the meeting hall.
Thank you very much, that all of you accepted...
...my invitation to come to Amer for the celebration...
...of the Gangaur festival on such short notice.
Thanks to all of you for being here!
Since ages, we've heard that this festival in Amer...
...is celebrated very nicely and is worth a look.
You're right.
There are many things worth seeing in Amer.
It has added up, now.
Amer has also got an enemy who is worth watching.
Jalal!
This is the occasion to talk about Jalal.
To see him.
It is the occasion...
...but, the time is not right.
We'll talk about them in private.
This is a public assembly.
There's a chance of their spies being present here.
I hope, I'm not late.
Have they made the announcement?
You're already late.
You should have at least seen Sukanya's choice...
I have called for this meeting for two important reasons.
One is my daughter...
...and the announcement of Amer's future king.
I want the entire Rajput clan to witness this...
...and to welcome Amer's future king.
They should accept and honour him.
The respect, love and honour that all of you bestowed on me...
...I want you to bestow it on him, too.
I have decided that after me, my heir...
...who will take our culture and legacy forward...
...will be...
...Bhagwant Das.
King Bharmal Singh.
Glory to him.
Prince Bhagwant Das.
Glory to him.
King Bharmal Singh.
Glory to him.
Prince Bhagwant Das.
Glory to him.
Brother.
What are you doing, Sujamal?
This is deceit! Betrayal.
Mind your tongue, Sujamal.
Get your sword, Bhagwant Das.
The throne which was given to you as charity, is mine.
You were made the caretaker and...
...now, you have become the owner.
My father gave this throne to uncle, to act as a regent.
While, he himself became the king.
That's not all! When I attained majority...
...he handed it to you.
Can there be a bigger deceit or betrayal, than this?
What is all this nonsense?
Put your sword back, Sujamal.
No, uncle.
Now, I won't put my sword back.
It has witnessed the injustice that has been going on...
...since so many years.
You will also get a chance.
But, wait for some time.
A coward waits, uncle, not a warrior.
I will come back for this throne.
I will take back my rights and Amer.
Even if I have to kill someone for that.
Amer belongs to Sujamal and he will take it back.
"Brother, your throne will be here."
"No. No, I won't sit here."
"Alright, then, it will be here."
"I am the king. I will sit here and not there."
"Glory to the king of Amer, Sujamal."
It is not good to let him go like that.
Give me the order.
When the problem is leaving...
...you don't have to try hard to get rid of it.
Father, your son Sujamal will get Amer's throne back.
Brother, don't leave from here in a huff.
We will surely find a way.
Now, there is only one way, Jodha.
It leads out of Amer.
Brother.
I am with you, brother.
You will always stay with me, Jodha.
I care only for you, in all of Amer.
Then, stay here!
If you leave like this, then people will call you a rebel.
People who fight for their rights are always called rebels.
Before those soldiers come and nab this rebel...
...let me go, Jodha.
I promise you, that I will come back for Amer and to meet you.
Find him. He shouldn't escape.
He must have gone towards his chamber.
Brother Sujamal!
Catch him. Catch him. Catch him.
Brother Sujamal.
Brother!
Stop him. Close the doors.
I thought, you called the meeting...
...to find a suitable match for Jodha.
But, you declared the king of Amer...
...and made Sujamal your enemy.
I had no other option.
I told you that Sujamal is young, hot-blooded...
...and ambitious, too.
As soon as he would have got the throne...
...he would have attacked the Rajputs, first.
That is not all. He wouldn't have spared...
...his cousin brothers and sisters, either.
I don't understand politics, father.
I also don't understand whether I should be...
...sad on losing one brother...
...or be happy as my other brother has become the king.
I raised Sujamal as my own son, Jodha.
But, Sujamal didn't want to become a son.
He wanted to become a king.
Today, what Sujamal did in the court in public...
...is unpardonable.
Jodha, if you have lost your brother...
...I have also lost a Rajput warrior.
I have lost a son.
If one son is angry, then we will have to find another son.
Mainavati, I don't get it.
We will get Jodha married.
Then, our son-in-law will also be like our son.
You are absolutely right.
Jodha's wedding will be a golden moment in Rajput history.
Just let me find a groom for Jodha.
Greetings.
The army is ready, Your Highness.
I have got news that all the Rajput kings...
...are gathered in Amer for the Gangaur festival.
The Gangaur festival?
It is a festival that lasts for about 18 days.
Alright.
When all the Rajputs are together, we will fight.
According to political strategy, you should attack your enemy...
...when he is alone.
So now, I will have to learn how to rule, from you.
Forgive me, Your Highness.
Idiots dream of winning on the merits of their strength.
We will kill all of them together...
...so that we don't waste time.
All the Rajputs will be beheaded at once.
They will lose their heads and their pride.
The news is that there's a riot at the Gangaur funfair.
There's joy all around.
All the princes are here.
Of course, they would have to come!
This is their chance to choose their queens.
But, even girls get a chance to choose their grooms.
That's the reason why games are organised...
...where young men get a chance to impress...
...the girls with their talent.
Like wrestling, javelin throw, sword fighting.
Should we go?
Let me adorn him, first. Then, I'll come with you.
Sukanya, where is your other necklace?
Mother had given the same necklace to all three of us.
Yes, she did.
Then, where is it?
I'll tell you later.
What do you mean by later?
Later as in later, after seeing the princes. What else?
If you go without adorning yourself completely...
...then those young princes may mistake you for a maid...
...instead of a princess.
Let's go, Shivani. Shall we?
Sister, be careful. Right now, Amer...
...has hosted all the big thieves from Rajputana.
Thieves?
Yes, somebody steals hearts, some steals glances...
...somebody steals necklace and somebody looks away.
By the way, who are you looking for?
The thief who took this.
What? What are you trying to say, Shivani?
I was talking about your necklace.
Have you seen Jodha? Have you seen my Jodha?
Queen, she must be there.
Jodha...
...have you seen Jodha?
She must be inside, my queen.
Inside?
What is this, Jodha?
There's a festival at the palace.
All the princes are here and you are sitting around here.
Mother, let me adorn them, first.
She has found her groom.
We have to find your groom.
Get up. I'll adorn you myself today.
Come on, get up.
Mother, see how beautiful Goddess Gauri looks.
So do you.
Greetings, my queen.
Motibai, how are you?
I'm fine.
Hey, girls! Everyone join your hands and close your eyes.
Chant Goddess Gauri's name.
Chant Lord Shiva's name, too.
Jodha, why are you standing there?
Come here.
Goddess, I have only one wish from you.
Fulfil my vow.
Give me courage so that I get revenge from my enemy Jalal.
