It would be useless to run, Jalaluddin.
It would be good, if you surrender yourself.
I have never bowed in front of anyone and I will never bow.
Hail Goddess Bhawani!
Are you alright, Your Highness?
Brother.
Why?
Why did you do this?
Why did you take the arrow meant for me?
First of all, you are our brother-in-law.
No brother will ever let any trouble...
...befall his sister's husband.
Secondly, you are the king.
We have come here to protect you.
We will lay down our life and protect you.
Your Highness, we are fewer in number than them...
...and even our army is not ready.
Even then, we will be victorious.
Attack.
"These people are the culprits and I want to see them burn to ashes."
"So that they realise the pain that they have inflicted on me."
Do you want to say something?
I want to say something to the person who has betrayed us.
Is this the way to maintain a relationship, Bhagwant Das?
Your father had come to us with the alliance...
...and his sons came to attack us.
My father fulfilled his duty...
...and I am fulfilling my duty.
If you'd done your duty...
...and protected your subjects from Dacoits, this would not happen.
What is the order, Your Highness?
We are victorious.
Burn these dead bodies.
"Now, it was time to return to Agra after the victory over Sujanpur."
"This voyage took two days."
"During this war, Jalal got something more than victory."
"He learnt of Bhagwant Das' loyalty."
"He endangered his life, but didn't let Jalal get hurt."
"Jalal was confused."
"Whether to consider Jodha's brothers..."
"...as the murderers of his unborn child."
"Or be grateful to them for saving his life."
Take this, my lady. Have sweets.
After the mourning, now, it's time for celebration.
It is definitely a time for celebrations.
His Highness has not only won a battle, but has set an example.
No matter how the circumstances and...
...the enemies are, if your resolution is strong...
...you can achieve victory.
I have heard that they had attacked secretly...
...even then His Highness defeated them.
But, my lady, there is something more that's important.
If Jodha's brothers, who were under house arrest, hadn't...
...been in the war, then the result...
...would have been something else.
Then, the credit for that goes to His Highness, too.
He didn't win because Bhagwant Das...
...or Jodha's other brothers were with him.
He won because His Highness knows...
...whom to keep with himself.
His Highness knows how to use time and people.
Hoshiyar, light up the entire palace.
My lord is coming back after his victory.
Congratulations, minister.
His Highness has won the war of Sujanpur.
Defeating a few Dacoits is not victory.
I have achieved victory over Mathura, Malwa...
...and I don't know how many other places.
But, I never saw so much happiness.
Jalal just won a small battle and the celebrations are...
...going on, as if he has conquered all of India.
He is the king, Adham.
Even if he sneezes, it makes news.
Because, he is the ruler.
The rest come after him.
But mother, Jalal gets the credit for my efforts, too.
Adham, remember one thing.
The sword is used by the hands...
...but, the victory is added to your name.
You have played chess, haven't you?
Pawns are defeated, but that king is considered...
...victorious who just makes one move.
That is why I want to become the king.
Before weaving this dream, learn a home truth, Adham.
If you are defeated because of the soldiers' mistake...
...it is considered the king's defeat.
If you want to be victorious, then be strong enough...
...to endure defeat, which you don't have at this moment.
So that is why, for now, bring a smile on your face and...
...come and congratulate His Highness like a good, loyalist.
Come with me.
Attention, everyone.
The king of India...
...Jalaluddin Mohammad is coming.
Why is there so much noise outside?
His Highness is being welcomed.
He has achieved victory in the war.
The news is that lady Jodha's brother...
...Bhagwant Das was severely injured in the battlefield.
God, You are great.
Because of Your blessings, our Highness has achieved victory.
We are thankful to You.
You are very benevolent.
Oh, God! It is good that the wound is not too deep.
Even if it had been deep what would have happened, mother?
The wounds you get in war are the marks of victory.
A solider is proud of them.
Apply ointment on it.
The ointment was already applied, mother...
...when I killed Sujanpur's King's son, Ratan Singh.
Even Bhagwant Das is injured.
Herbalist, give him treatment too.
"When Queen Jodha gets this news...
...I don't know how she will feel."
Did you hear?
His Highness killed Sujanpur's king's son Ratan Singh...
...in the battlefield, who helped the Dacoits.
Brother, this... how... why?
For whom did you endure so many wounds?
For the person whose protection was my responsibility.
What was the need for you to participate in the war?
You put your life in danger to save his life.
He killed my sister's would-be husband.
He didn't kill him, Jodha.
He died in the battlefield.
Jodha, there are deaths in the battlefield.
Sukanya was not married to Ratan Singh yet, Jodha.
Jodha, don't worry.
Within a few days, we will find a groom for Sukanya.
You won't find anyone. She won't find any groom.
After my marriage, you went to so many kingdoms.
But, no one accepted Sukanya's proposal.
And now, when this news will spread everywhere...
...that Sukanya's brothers fought against their would-be...
...relatives, then who will be ready to marry Sukanya?
Now, what will happen to my sister, brother?
Why should Sukanya endure my misfortune?
All of this is happening because of His Highness.
But, I don't understand, why all of you helped him.
Jodha, it was our duty. He is our brother-in-law.
Along with that, father has accepted his rank.
It was ethical as well as customary to support him.
I lament the moment...
...when this person came into my life.
Why did I agree to marry him?
He has snatched away everything from me.
My happiness, my pride, my honour and now...
...he took away Sukanya's happiness too, brother.
My heart...
...is just cursing...
...His Highness, since he...
No, Jodha. He is your husband.
You have taken the nuptial vows with him in front of the holy fire.
Don't ever curse him even by mistake.
You will stop me from saying it, brother.
But, what about my heart?
In my heart, there is nothing but hatred for him.
I can just curse him.
No, Jodha. No.
Our family's customs don't allow you to do this.
In that case, now I will do...
...whatever my heart permits me to do.
Jodha.
Jodha, stop.
Jodha.
Did you hear the noise of thunder?
I think, there is going to be a storm.
I want to talk to you.
You are dismissed.
By breaking the house arrest without permission...
...you have disobeyed my orders.
I think, it has become your habit.
What will you say in your defence?
No explanation. No argument.
I accept that I killed your unborn child.
I gave the poison to lady Ruqaiya.
Because, I didn't want any queen...
...to become more powerful than me.
That is why, I killed it.
I am ready for the punishment. Kill me.
The last wish of the dying person is fulfilled, Your Highness.
My wish is that you should release my brothers.
Even in the war, they protected your life.
They don't know about my plan nor does my father.
This was my plan.
It was my ruse.
Ruqaiya.
Why did you do that, Ruqaiya?
Because in the Mughal empire raising the sword...
...on a woman is against His Highness' pride.
Certainly not on an innocent woman.
-What? -Yes, Your Highness.
Queen Jodha is not the murderer of my unborn child.
Just now she herself accepted that she is the real culprit.
There must be some other reason...
...for her to tell lies, Your Highness.
But, there is a special reason for what I said.
I want to talk to you in private.
Ruqaiya, if lady Jodha is not the culprit...
...then, who has committed this sin?
The culprit is very close to you, Jalal.
If you hear the name, you won't believe it.
Don't talk in riddles, Ruqaiya.
Tell me that person's name.
Before hearing the name, won't you see the proof, first?
What is this, Ruqaiya?
This is the box in which the poison was kept.
I lost my child after drinking it.
The killer mixed the poison...
...in the saffron that came from Amer.
When the security was tightened...
...that person couldn't get rid of this box.
It is possible, I found this box...
...with the one who is the real killer.
Or an equal partner in this sin.
Who is that person?
From where did you get this box?
From Salima Sultan's room.
Ruqaiya, do you know whom you are blaming?
She is the widower of the late Khan Baba.
And your wife, too.
I am not blaming her unnecessarily, Jalal.
After you went to war, I investigated things, thoroughly.
"Queen Salima had a fever?"
"Queen Salima."
"Now, how are you feeling?"
"Greetings, my lady."
"Hey! Lie down."
"You are not only a queen, but my sister, too."
"Is it a cause for concern?"
"She has a slight fever."
"I will give her medicine. She will be fine in 2 or 3 days."
"When I have endured the pain of being apart from the late..."
...Bairam Khan...
"...then nothing can be more painful than this."
"Queen, I have to grind some medicines."
"Can I get a mortar and pestle?"
"Look over there."
"You take the medicine."
"I will take a round of the women's quarters."
"OK."
"Why did you call me?"
"I wanted to tell you something important."
"You are dismissed."
"Tell me. What is the matter, Khwaja Sera?"
"I found this from queen Salima's drawer."
"What is this?"
"The Datura poison was kept in this box, queen."
"Your child died because of that."
"Oh, God!"
"Queen Salima did all this."
"No. This can't be."
"She is my sister."
"Such a grave betrayal."
"Because of our bond..."
"...I gave her more comforts than other queens, here."
"I took care of her, and she let me down."
"Herbalist, don't tell anyone what you found in queen..."
"...Salima's drawer and what we spoke about."
"Now, I will tell His Highness about this."
I can't believe it. She was my aunt's daughter.
After Khan Baba's death, I supported her.
I became Rahim's guardian.
She did this to me!
Even I couldn't believe it, Jalal.
She may be our relative, but she is a woman.
She had a motive to take revenge for her husband's death.
She can do anything to take revenge...
...for her husband's death.
There is one more reason.
If I don't have a child, then it is possible that...
...you will make Rahim the heir to the Mughal empire.
I accept that she is my sister and your aunt's daughter.
But Jalal, who wouldn't want to be the queen mother?
Tell me.
Who wouldn't want to be called the mother...
...of the future king?
I don't know what has happened to your queens, Jalal.
On one hand, there is Jodha...
...who dared to lie to His Highness.
And on the other hand, there is Salima...
...who for the throne...
"I killed your unborn child."
"I gave the poison to queen Ruqaiya."
"Because I didn't want any queen..."
"...to become more powerful than me."
"That is why I killed it."
"I am ready for the punishment."
"Kill me."
"She may be Amer's Princess..."
"...but, she can't be above the queen of India."
"First, you greet the queen and then speak."
"I think, you have only learnt to tell tall tales."
"No one taught you the practicality of life."
"You don't make an enemy of an important person."
"Why did lady Ruqaiya protect me?"
"How could she say so confidently that I am innocent?"
"Has she found the culprit?"
"What is the matter?"
Attention. Attention.
The king of India, His Highness...
...Jalaluddin Mohammad is coming.
Why did you lie to me, lady Jodha?
That you killed my unborn child?
Answer me, lady Jodha.
Why did you lie to the king of the Mughal empire?
Do you think, you are great?
Or else, there is no respect for my status in your eyes?
I don't have any importance in your eyes.
You have considered me...
...my life, and my feelings a game.
Your and my relationship is a game for you.
By marrying me, you brought me to Agra from Amer.
It was a game.
You treated me like a maid, not like a wife.
It was a game.
What else have you done besides insulting me...
...and making fun of my feelings, all the time?
First, you blamed me that I made...
...spicy food and burnt your mouth.
Then, you blamed me for killing queen Ruqaiya's child.
Without any reason, you imprisoned my brothers.
In the name of war, you killed my sister's would-be husband.
All this is also a game for you.
A wife's husband has put her under house arrest.
What can be a bigger insult than this?
Again and again, I vowed that...
...I am innocent and I didn't do anything.
But, you didn't listen to me at all.
A woman's honour, respect, code of conduct and dignity...
...everything is a game for you.
Today, Queen Ruqaiya said that someone else is the killer.
So, you accepted it.
Tomorrow, if that person's crime is not proved, then you will...
...blame some other person, then another, and then another.
Even justice has become a game for you, Your Highness.
Yes.
I lied that I killed your unborn child.
Anyhow and at any cost, this game should stop.
You will behead me with your sword due to your pride.
But, other innocent people can survive.
I accepted your false accusations because...
...a death sentence is much better than the...
...punishment of being your wife.
I despise you so much...
...that it is better to die.
That is why, I told a lie.
I feel like cursing you...
...but my religion, my customs don't...
...permit a wife to think ill of her husband.
That is why, I chose this path...
...for freedom from you, your terror and this game.
It is better to die than...
...to suffer each moment.
But, queen Ruqaiya didn't even give me that chance.
I request you, Your Highness. Go away from here.
Can I ask you a question, Jalal?
Why did you marry her, when you knew that you don't...
...love her and she hates you so much?
I married her, because not making her mine...
...was making me feel my defeat.
I wanted to marry her and present her in front of...
...everyone as a memento of my victory.
I wanted to shatter her ego.
Her hatred would give me peace.
But, I didn't have any idea that she will behave this way with me.
Can I make a suggestion?
Why don't you send her back to Amer?
Ruqaiya, until now her innocence is not proved.
I can't send her back.
But, I think she is innocent.
Jalal, there is a reason behind every crime.
Lady Jodha wants neither power in the empire nor status.
She is interested neither in wealth nor in the throne.
She is not even interested in you.
Stop, Jalal.
As soon as possible take a decision regarding Salima Sultan.
Either, she speaks the truth about this box...
...or has to be prepared for the punishment.
I will definitely do that.
But for now, this matter should be between you, me and the herbalist.
No other person should come to know about it, Ruqaiya.
"I can't understand what is going on."
"Jodha's brothers saved my life and I..."
"...kept them under house arrest merely on the basis of suspicion."
"Now, Queen Salima's name has come to the forefront."
"But, after Khan Baba's death I gave her so much respect."
"I became Rahim's guardian."
"After all this, will she think of doing that?"
"Is it that, I am going to commit a mistake, again?"
May His Highness live a long life!
You called me, Your Highness.
Yes.
I am in a grave dilemma.
I want your suggestion.
After Khan Baba's death, you are my advisor.
No one can give me a better suggestion than you.
It is my good fortune that you consider me capable of this.
Tell me. What is your dilemma?
I have got evidence that proves that Queen Jodha is innocent.
Now tell me, what shall I do? Because, I don't want to...
...commit the mistake of being unjust.
Forgive me, Your Highness.
But, if it proves that queen Jodha is innocent, then you...
...have already committed a mistake.
Because after imprisoning someone, if it is proved...
...he is innocent, then it is the King's mistake. And...
Tell me, without any fear.
Your frank suggestion is important for me.
Sir, it is a different matter when the real...
...culprit will be exposed.
But, from the point of view of justice, you should...
...release Queen Jodha and her brothers, immediately.
Because, 100 culprits may go scot-free...
...but, an innocent person should not be punished.
This is the law of the empire.
What punishment should I give to that person whom I suspect?
No one can oppose His Highness' will.
Right now you have a suspicion, you don't have proof.
What if tomorrow, that culprit is also proved...
...innocent like queen Jodha?
You will repeat the same mistake with that person, too.
Committing the same mistake again and...
...again can go against His Highness' pride.
That is why before making any decision...
...look for credible evidence.
According to me, only after you are certain...
...should you decide the punishment.
Thank you.
You have solved my problem.
Advisers often say what the king wants to hear.
But, your fearless and honest advice...
...has shown me the correct path.
Thank you for helping me in rectifying my mistake.
I am happy that I was able to serve you.
Ten days ago in this court, I announced my decision.
My mother Mariyam Makani, the priest...
...and Shamshuddin have suggested...
...that I give Queen Jodha and her brothers...
...10 days to prove their innocence.
That time ends, today.
I am thankful to my mother and to all those people who...
...tried to keep the status of Mughal justice intact.
In these ten days Queen Jodha and...
...her brothers couldn't prove their innocence.
But, I have found some evidence that proves their innocence.
Why punish those who are innocent?
I acquit Queen Jodha and her brothers from all allegations.
I hereby release all of them, with all due respect.
Along with that, I appreciate...
...the Amer's Princes' bravery and loyalty.
In spite of so many accusations and house arrest...
...they didn't turn away from their loyalty.
They supported me against their would-be relatives.
Prince Bhagwant Das risked his life to save my life.
I praise him from the bottom of my heart and gift him a royal rank.
I want all of you to stay here as my royal guests...
...until I find the real culprit.
Do you want to say something, Maan Singh?
Your orders will be followed.
Until the real culprit Is caught...
...my father and uncles will stay here.
Because, even I am sorry for the loss of the heir of the empire.
I have another request for you, Maan Singh.
Resume your position with me.
Queen Jodha...
...you can go back to your chamber.
Mother. Mother.
I will go and call the herbalist.
Why? What has happened to you now?
Not me, mother. You are unwell.
Javeda, I don't need a doctor.
Is that so? So can I do something for you?
Really? What can you do for me?
Lots of things, mother.
I think, you have an upset stomach.
I have the herbalist's sweet and sweet digestive tablets.
Just take one tablet and...
OK.
If you don't have an upset stomach, I bet you have a headache.
I will massage your head with oil blended with camphor and...
...poppy seeds with my soft and delicate fingers.
See, I have even applied rose fragrance on my hands.
Move away. Javeda, move away.
Javeda, were you mentally unstable since birth?
Why don't you understand?
Political matters are going on here.
-And you... -Oh, God!
Now, what has happened?
Did the queens in the women's quarter quarrel again?
Javeda, ten days have passed by!
Mother, today is the 7th day of the full moon.
Javeda, my dear.
I was saying that the time period of 10 days that Jalal...
...had given to queen Jodha is over today.
Today, ten days are over and...
...today the decision is going to be made.
I still don't know what Jalal is going to do.
If His Highness listens to me, then...
...I would say release queen Jodha.
Now just imagine, the delicate and innocent...
...queen Jodha can't do this.
See for yourself. God has created her at leisure.
So much of beauty and intelligence...
...showered on her, abundantly.
I think, only she can change...
...the circumstances of this empire.
Now, you tell me. Does anyone else dare...
...to stand in front of His Highness?
I swear to God! She is the only one who is the cleverest here.
-Isn't it? -Why, Javeda?
Are all the intelligent women in the world, dead?
God alone knows about that.
Fool.
I am asking you, what do you think about your mother?
Oh, God!
Mother, may God grant you the rest of my years.
Why would you die?
Javeda.
I am asking...
...can Jodha match me in intelligence?
-Queen Jodha can't oppose you. -Yes.
Now for example, you cause problems for people and...
...poor lady Jodha herself is in a problem.
Isn't it?
Javeda, one last question. Just answer that.
Yes, mother.
Tell me, in our family whose decision was it...
...to select you and bring you here?
Come on, mother!
You selected me and brought me here.
That is why, you are taking revenge from me, you silly girl.
-Did you say something? -No. Yes, I did.
Suddenly, I remembered that you were...
...going to make vermicelli for me, today.
Oh, God! I forgot again.
I was making vermicelli for you and I came here to...
...ask you how much sugar I should add in it.
So, tell me.
Your delicate fingers, with which you were going to...
...massage my head, put them in the hot vermicelli.
The vermicelli will become sweet.
-Mother, you are so nice. -Isn't it?
I will make delicious vermicelli for you...
-...right now. -Yes. And remember...
-...take your time. -Yes, mother. Right away.
Listen. Listen. Listen, Javeda.
What is this that you were going to apply on my head?
Oil made with poppy seeds and camphor. -Yes.
In the kitchen, you will find many people to massage. Go.
Forgive me, minister.
God save me.
One leaves and the other one comes along. Spit it out.
My lady, His Highness has released...
...lady Jodha from house arrest.
Jalal has released Jodha?
What does Jalal want to do?
Forgive me, Lord Krishna.
I couldn't perform Your veneration since so long.
Why not?
Your Lord Krishna was worshipped, daily.
Your mother-in-law herself used to perform...
...the Lord's veneration.
Is that so? Did mother perform the veneration?
I just told her that my rule of performing...
...Lord Krishna's veneration will break and she herself came...
...and she performed the veneration.
What else? She loves you a lot.
Because of her opposition, His Highness had...
...given you the grace period of 10 days.
Don't mention his name here.
Why are you angry?
Now, he considers you innocent.
Without any proof, he arrested me and my brothers.
Now, just by releasing us, the wound of the insult can't heal.
Queen Jodha, the empress is coming.
Greetings, mother.
I was going to come to you to thank you.
For the first time you requested me, Jodha.
How could I not fulfil it?
Parents are happy, if their children are happy.
But, when Jalal gave the verdict in the court...
...then, why weren't you happy, Jodha?
Because I am not happy, mother.
I am very angry and infuriated with your son.
The way he has behaved with me, that pain is so great that...
...the joy of being released has also become insignificant.
If you are feeling bad about what I said...
...I am ready for the punishment.
But, I can't forget the insult inflicted...
...on me and my people.
I know, that Jalal has committed a mistake in his haste.
That is why, I opposed his decision.
I asked him to give you ten days to prove your innocence.
Jalal has lost his child. I know his sorrow.
But, I also understand the pain that you must have...
...endured on losing your sister's fiancée.
It is right for you to be angry.
It is your right and it is necessary that...
...Jalal understands this anger.
Because, whether he is a king or a beggar, it is wrong to humiliate...
...someone or accuse someone falsely.
If you don't like something that Jalal did...
...tell me without any fear.
I have a request, mother.
If you feel bad about anything I say, tell me clearly.
I have faith that you won't let such a situation arise.
Whatever you will do or say will be right.
I want to ask you something, mother.
Why doesn't your son have your qualities?
A person's nature and identity is hereditary, Jodha.
But, values are imbibed during upbringing.
It is not Jalal's fault. It is mine.
I wasn't able to stay with him during his upbringing.
It is not your fault, mother.
It is His Highness' bad luck...
...that he couldn't get your love and care.
