BALA BHARATHAM
Hail the great warrior of the limitless kingdom...
Welcome the greatest of warriors!
The one who won many great wars...
And may he win many more...
-Please bless me. -You'll always have my blessings.
I am happy that you came back with a victory... But...
-I can't really bless you. -Why so?
With the greatest of all, Bheeshma being here...
-I don't deserve the first respect. -You do.
King Panduraja knows everything.
Dhritarashtra, you are the crowned king.
We are nothing compared to you.
So he took your blessings first.
I am king for namesake. You are the one who's...
...running and he's the one making things work.
I am just a lucky fellow to have you both.
Big brother, you don't know your strength.
You are so powerful.
And your tactics have no comparison.
If a great warrior like you has eyes...
You will beat the Gods. So they did this to you.
Of course... You said the right thing, brother.
Brother Vidura, are you doing good?
Your worship is going good without any problems, right?
His worship is the worship of God. It will do good to the entire universe.
Is it? Without him doing all the worship...
Will all the worlds lose their cool?
Great... brother-in-law Sakuni is here.
I didn't notice.
As I am not that important.
What? King's brother-in-law is greater than the king.
Stop! This is not a place to laugh.
See King Panduraja, your queens are waiting for your arrival.
The man who belongs to Kunti...
The man who's love is with Madri...
May all the good come to you.
This is a welcome to the son of Aryas.
Welcome my love...
Welcome, oh victorious king.
I love the welcome of my wives.
One minute...
I have to gift you for welcoming me.
Look, they are from the women of many friendly kingdoms...
They gifted you these.
Kunti... Take that first box.
Not me. There is someone else, who deserve the first gold.
-Right sister? -Yes.
The first lady, Gandhari is our beloved queen.
-She is the one. -Great!
This is the love and respect you all should live with.
Give these to sister-in-law, along with my respect.
Such a waste!
Why does this blind lady need all these?
For our happiness, sister.
A flower shines in the moonshine, not for itself.
But for those who love to look at it.
Yes, you are a beautiful flower in this kingdom.
A smile on our faces.
Sister, let's serve her with all this gold?
It's not me who should be served.
You should go serve the one who came back after many days.
He might have been so lonely all these days.
And will be waiting for you.
What do you say?
Go quickly...
Even your jokes are orders for us.
We'll take leave.
-Satyasena? -Sister-in-law...
See what Kunti did for me...
She's a gift to this Baratha family.
No! She is a curse.
Some fruits look so great from a distance.
But sister...
You can't see the inner poison.
Brother, why do you feel happy with blaming others?
One who can't see others grow will face a bad fate.
I know... But still...
I told you not to be so good to everyone.
Sister...
You and your husband are going to face problems...
Panduraja is going to take the throne, bringing down your husband.
As people ask how can he do that with his brother still alive.
Bheeshma played this victory as a game.
Brother!
-Stop all this right now. -Great!
You closed your eyes, as your husband is blind.
Now you are closing your ears too?
Listen and see carefully.
-You'll realize what Bheeshma is. -Enough!
You are blaming the great Bheeshma himself?
He is a great man. Panduraja is a pure soul.
Kunti keeps serving me all day.
Madri is a great woman.
-One who blames them... -Can't stay in this kingdom?
Only because we want to protect you...
We left our kingdom and living these nasty lives here.
I want you to be at peace.
And I want you to be happy.
I can interchange the worlds for that.
Even you can't stop me.
Aghori... What is your magic saying?
[evil chants]
See...
There is a great forest...
There lies a bad fate in that forest.
Your enemy will cry and his life will end in that forest.
You... Panduraja...
You are not letting me get my revenge...
Now you have to get out of the way.
Why did you ring the bell? What is it that can't wait?
Please don't get angry, King.
The lions and tigers are hunting us. We are unable to live in the forest.
They are looking for human blood and are coming on to our villages.
They are eating little girls too.
Please hunt them and save us.
Brother, if you let me...
I can go help these innocent people.
Not you...
Yes. You just came home. You can't go hunting already.
Don't leave your queens for few days.
Forgive me uncle...
When the public is facing problems...
The kings are taking pleasure in the palace? This is such a bad publicity...
Let's not do that.
Panduraja have to go right away into the forest...
That's what my little brain says...
Rest is up to you.
What he said is right.
I shouldn't be the one bringing that bad name. Give me the orders.
Don't think negatively.
If you think that is your duty... Go!
Bless me!
"My dear cunning lover..."
"Stop all these games..."
"I will make you pay for all these."
"My dear crazy lover..."
"Stop all these games..."
"I will make you pay for all these."
"You married me, with the fire as the witness."
"And now you brought her home."
"Even Gods do that right!"
"What's wrong with he doing the same? What's your problem?"
"Oh my dear lover..."
"Don't keep shouting like that..."
"The Kings will listen and will feel bad."
"You used your beauty..."
"And attracted this innocent man."
"I didn't call him on my own."
"You shameless... Get lost!"
"Oh my dear lover..."
"Don't keep shouting like that..."
"The Kings will listen and will feel bad."
"Follow me, if you belong to me."
"Take me if you love me."
"Take me..."
"Take her..."
"See how Kunti and Madri are living in peace."
"Learn from them and behave nice."
"Oh my dear lovers..."
"Why should we fight among ourselves?"
"Let's dance and enjoy."
Come here...
Hey, come...
Take this.
Even a small kid gifted a necklace?
-Live long! -Great!
It's quite common in our kingdom.
Who is that kid?
He's our son.
Son, you have to be gifted for your nice heart.
Here... Great!
So you can give but not take...
Yes.
What's his name?
We named him Vasusaina. But people call him Karna.
-Why so? -As he had natural armors.
How do you know that?
As we can see...
These came naturally. Not artificial.
Look at his face.
I feel so emotional!
-Come on. -No!
-No? -Go to her.
I am like your mother, come on.
No, she is my mother.
True...
Only she had that luck.
Not just the one who gave birth to you.
Even the ones who see you are lucky.
Kid, for me to take you into my hands...
Please give me that luck.
Please come to me.
He won't stay with strangers. Please forgive us.
You can leave with your wife and kid.
She had so much of negative energy.
She passed all that to my kid.
-Radha... -He keeps crying...
Even the queens have this negative energy!
-Radha, it's wrong. -Yes, it is.
It is wrong to make a kid cry like this. How can she understand my pain?
How much pain a mother goes through, seeing her kid cry...
Radha, don't get carried away with your motherly love.
We found this kid on the banks of a river.
I will fall at your feet and will beg you...
Please don't let that secret come out again.
Karna is my life.
No matter who she is, who left a kid in the river...
She have no right for his love.
"Be happy with my serving and bless me oh great sage."
"Why should I get to know the magical words to get a kid."
"Why should I doubt the magic..."
"And why should I test it?"
"With the effect of that magic..."
"Why should I be given a mystic baby?"
"Without being happy with that kid..."
"Why should I fear about what the world would say?"
"Without having any kind of motherly love..."
"Such a small kid..."
"Why should I leave him in the river?"
"And why should I feel bad for the love I have lost?"
"Why should I cry after all these years?"
Listen... Clever people won't repent the past.
Someone else's baby didn't come to you and you are feeling bad for it?
You are not that small.
Not for that...
For not being a mother like her...
-I am feeling low. -Don't feel bad.
Once I am done with the hunting, I'll look to that.
Let's go to a beautiful mountain range and have some lonely time.
If we are lucky enough, we will be parents.
Let's go.
I almost forgot about you, being sad and all.
You have to go hunting early in the morning. Go take some rest.
-Dear... -You fool...
You hunted down the innocent.
We are roaming around in the form of deers.
And you hunted us down.
The minute you touch your wife with want...
You'll die!
Such bad fate!
Will my family have to die with me?
No. Once, an evil person...
Separated a pair of love birds.
Valmiki cursed him and that become a great poem...
That become the Ramayana later on.
Even this will lead to a great history...
Don't feel bad.
I will die only if I touch you.
Me being lonely will safeguard me.
Death can never touch me.
Listen...
Go to the kingdom with these.
Tell the elders that I took sage-ship, along with my wives.
Such a bad fate! Even the Gods are not on our side.
Such a bad thing to happen at such a small age.
Even his wives have gone to the forest with him.
Oh, God!
Kunti is suffering a lot!
Madri is facing all the pain!
Such a bad thing to happen to such great people!
Sister, don't feel bad when you have to be happy.
They not being able to be parents is a good news for you.
My plan will be complete, if you can be a mother.
I will get my revenge.
You have the blessing of Lord Shiva.
Now start worshiping for kids, sister.
Kali, where are you going in such hurry?
You silly. Why do you want to ask me?
-Gandhari is about to be pregnant. -I know.
And I know you are going to be born as her elder son.
Then why are you stopping me for?
The Mother Earth will suffer now.
Hail Lord Narayana!
"One of the first men..."
"The savior of all."
"Evil forces are disturbing the peace."
"To help the good..."
"And to save your creation, open your eyes..."
"And wake up from your mystic sleep."
"Wake up from the mystic sleep."
-Narada, why do you seem worried? -Or else?
If Kali goes before Hari, the Earth will face problems.
So Kali started to be born to Gandhari?
She is a great wife. He can't get to her so easily.
But he will break in somehow. If you get any late, it won't be so good.
-All the ones to go in Dwapara Yuga... -They all did.
All the important people... Not just one.
All the evil too went and is breaking the Earth.
You have to go save Mother Earth.
Silly Narada. Did you forget, who needs to kill who?
What is the use of me going, without the Pandavas?
Hail Lord Narayana!
How can Panduraja have kids?
He's cursed, right?
His wife Kunti have a great gift, right?
Make them remember that and start the good of Earth yourself.
Sure.
"Lord Narayana, the play you right have all the right ingredients."
"This Baratha of kids is only because of you."

"Cheating the public is your talent?"
Uncle...
"You have sent a huge demon to kill a small kid."
"That's not courage."
"Or dare..."
"You steal the clothes of women as they bath..."
"War is not as easy as that."
"The worship of yogis, who close their noses..."
"Disturbing them is not strength."
"Taking care of people is not as easy as taking care of cattle."
"Who is the one, who's making his sister to go through hell."
"Krishna... Your life is finished today..."
"Kamsa... Your atrocities will end today."
Uncle Kamsa...
Here I am...
Here I am. No, I am on the top of your head.
I bow to a great teacher, Sage Sandeepani!
May your wishes come true.
Balarama... Krishna...
Follow him and learn all the arts.
Ok, dad.
Teacher, our men are ready to start.
Kuchela...
This is the Krishna you are wanting to meet from a long time.
-Kuchela... -Krishna...
I heard a lot about you. Now I have seen you.
I am so happy!
Kuchela...
Vasudeva, I'll take leave.
Bye, dad.
Mom, we'll come back soon.
Let's go.
-Dear... -No!
-Let me... -What's this?
-What about your curse? -Dear...
-Your curse, dear... -Dear!
-Dear... -Dear!
Dear...
Sister!
Sister...
Sister, there is no mistake of mine.
I reminded him his curse and tried to stop him.
I did all that I can to save him.
But...
My dear...
Dear...
We will be lonely from now on...
Who will take care of our sons?
You are the one to raise them...
Dear!
Dear...
It's our duty to follow you everywhere.
Sister, call the best of priests.
-Make arrangements for me to follow him. -Sister!
It's not you... It's me who have to follow him.
He died because of me.
There is no use of me living anymore.
I can't raise the kids.
You are the elder and you need to take that duty.
If not for me, you should live for the kids.
I am begging you. Give me an 'Yes'.
Sister!
-Mom! -Mom!
Sister Dushala...
Whom are you preparing it for?
-To this king? -King?
As if you are that big!
You can't even be a prince and you want to be a king?
Rejection! Uncle, Sakuni...
Son-in-law...
You said you'll face everyone and make me a king...
This little girl is making fun of me...
And you are being silent?
Your anger might have a reason, but you should be in control.
The one who gets things done...
They always act with cleverness and according to the situations.
-He can never be that clever. -You arrogant girl!
You make fun of our uncle? See what I'll do to you...
Satyasena, it's already late. Get me to the welcoming place.
God!
To welcome Kunti?
-Yes. -Sister! Such a shame.
The one who is going to look down on your kids...
That Kunti and her strange kids... To make them sit on your heads...
Why do you hurry?
The minute those barbarians step in this kingdom...
Your son will be ignored.
And you have to cry everyday.
Brother!
All that you have said...
-Will they be true? -I won't let them.
I won't let anyone cause harm to your son. True!
Such a good news.
Satyasena... We are not going.
Sister... That's not good too.
You shouldn't be the center of doubt.
Act love on the exterior, but do what you have to do underneath.
Go!
-Sister, Kunti... -Sister!
Kunti... Come on!
I bow before the King!
Why did you bow for me first, with Bheeshma being here?
You are the crowned king.
We are nothing compared to you.
So I took your blessings first.
Such a sharp kid!
Where will the blood of Panduraja go?
Live long!
Dhritarashtra, see how humble he is.
Look at your little brother and learn from him.
-No need to learn from someone else. -Suyodhana!
If you don't know how to talk, it's better you keep your mouth shut.
As if this prince have no idea about respecting the council.
Oh, you have already become a prince?
Dharmaraja is elder than you.
He's the elder to the Baratha family. He will be the prince.
-He have all the rights. -I won't agree for that.
It doesn't matter. Leave the chair to him, now.
Wrong! Giving the chair to the one who came from the forests.
Making the one who is born in the palace step down. I won't keep calm seeing this.
We don't care about what you think.
As per the rules of law, he will be the Prince from now on.
God! This kid will be a Prince?
He is a barbarian, who's birth is not of clear details...
He is the elder in the family?
-Sakuni! -Can you stop the public from talking?
Before the five kids took birth...
We knew that Panduraja had a curse.
Then how did they take birth?
God! Who will believe that he gave birth to these kids?
Who will agree for a barbarian to be the Prince?
Impure blood have no rights on the throne.
The Kauravas are the only rightful heirs.
Suyodhana will be the King!
What's with all these negative signs?
These are not so old for us, right?
No the day Suyodhana was born, donkeys cried.
Now, for saying that he will be king, foxes are howling and Earth is quaking.
Looking at all this, I feel that your son will end your bloodline.
If we can let him go right now...
Your family will not suffer.
There is no need to let anyone go.
Let's arrange traditional worships, that will remove all negative energy.
Treating my sons and my brother's sons equal will do good to the Baratha family.
Haven't you heard what happened in the council today?
They say my son will end the bloodline.
Donkeys cried when he was born...
Today the foxes howled...
Your son is the best fit for a king... Why are we here then?
I will leave you the kingdom and will go to the forests with my sons.
Sister, if I knew this will cause you all the pain...
I would have never entered Hastina.
No royal lady should go to the forests because of the politics.
I am promising you, sister...
You are the first lady until you are alive.
Me and my kids will live under your shade.
Sister, I know your character.
But for all this not to lead to much more worse states...
Only if you give me your word that you'll control your kids...
-I can be at peace. -Sister...
I only want you to live for 1000 years, with peace at heart.
I just want the Kauravas and Pandavas to be good brothers.
[playing kabadi]
Suyodhana... Face me!
[playing kabadi]
This is wrong!
Closing nose is against rules. You should be punished.
-You have to leave the game for a while. -Who are you to say that?
Questioning the umpire is another mistake. Leave the ground.
-I won't move. -Then I have to make you move.
Arrogant! The hand that hit my brother should break.
Don't fight.
[commotion]
-Oh God! -Brother-in-law...
Bheema, I am Sakuni's son. Leave me!
[kids screaming]
-Mom! -What happened?
I almost died.
That Bheema took my head into his hands...
-Dipped me in the water... -And?
God!
That Bheema trashed us.
You might have done something wrong. That's why he trashed you.
Sister... Don't support the enemy.
Mom, we did nothing wrong.
I warned him not to use rash words with the future king. That's it.
He trashed you just for that? God!
Oh, God!
That Bheema will kill my kids...
This is not of his thinking...
That Kunti might have filled him with the ideas of killing the future King.
Satyasena!
Let's go!
I have to know if I am the first lady of Hastina or it's the Kunti.
Mom, I taught them a lesson.
All the 100 brothers will never mess with us.
That's not right!
We are living here on their blessings.
Don't forget that we are homeless.
Promise me that you'll never do such things again.
-Mom! -Do it...
Promise, mom.
You are asking me to step back?
How can I do that seeing all that's happening?
We have to throw that Bheema out of the kingdom right now.
Oh, God!
You feel happy for so little things.
Why don't we send him off to places from where he can't return?
What? Is that possible?
Is there an antidote for that Evil Pandava?
Why not? There is an antidote even for a snake.
Sister...
Do as I say and you are free of that Bheema.
Tell me what to do.
[inaudible]
Brother, a silly fight the kids had...
I never thought it will lead to the elders' feelings getting hurt.
No matter how calm my kids are being, there is still a fight occurring everyday.
I wonder what the future is going to bring to us with these fights.
I am feeling lonely without a relative to visit or even a God to pray.
That God is the only hope to the hopeless.
Krishna is the God on Earth. His doings are magical.
This is the statue that every house in Repalle, Mathura has.
Everyone is praying to this mystic idol.
Place him in the right place to worship and pray for him everyday.
-Sister, Kunti... -Sister...
Why did you come all the way here?
I would have come to you, if you send me a calling.
One who wants to ask for a sorry need to come on their own.
-You and your kids need to forgive us. -Why so, sister?
You are elderly and you are asking for a kid's forgiveness?
Mother have to pay for the wrong doings of the kids.
Suyodhana seems to have played a wrong game.
I asked him to say his sorry.
So he came as per my orders. Son, Suyodhana...
Forgive me, my brother!
Bheema, will you forgive me?
Suyodhana, I have long forgotten your anger.
I never remember the past.
I pray that this love will remain same forever.
I too want the same.
Sister, the kids are asking for a feast in the woods tomorrow.
-Will you send your kids too? -With pleasure!
-Dharmaraja, go with your brothers. -Ok, mom!
"Such a nice feast..."
"Nice food on the banks of the river by the woods."
"Such a nice feast..."
"Nice food on the banks of the river by the woods."
"All these hots and sweets..."
"Such nicely cooked rice!"
"All these hots and sweets..."
"Such nicely cooked rice!"
"Look at all these varieties!"
"You'll feel hungry just by taking the names."
"Such great food!"
"Such a nice feast..."
"Nice food on the banks of the river by the woods."
"This feast have all the possible tastes in it."
"This will feed all our brothers and sister."
"All this is nothing for a demon which can eat mountains."
"This feast is like a festival for us."
"Such a nice feast..."
"Nice food on the banks of the river by the woods."
"All the types of side dishes..."
"Look at the size of this sweet."
"All the types of side dishes..."
"Look at the size of this sweet."
"When we eat until it fills our nose level..."
"That is what they call a great feast."
"Such a nice feast..."
"Nice food on the banks of the river by the woods."
"Such a nice feast..."
"Nice food on the banks of the river by the woods."
Bheema, tell me. How much of these items can you eat?
I can eat the amount equal to what all your 100 brother eat.
-Is it? -Yes.
-Bet? -Yes!
Dushasana, divide the food into two parts.
-One for Bheema and one for all of us. -Ok.
Come, Dushasana.
Bheema, this is yours and that is ours.
-I'll see how much you can eat. -Ok, see.
Let's start!
Did you get it, Suyodhana? This is poison.
Our people should never eat any of this.
Be careful!
Such a great taste!
This is the way food should taste.
You keep saying that... Is it that tasty?
Yes... Have some...
No, don't do that.
Brother, he wants to taste it.
Let him eat. Brother Bheema is not feeding him poison, right?
-Feed him, brother Bheema. -Take it.
Bheema, did you forget the bet?
You said you'll eat equal to what all of us will eat.
Right! I won't give you even a single grain of rice.
-In the time of having food... -Let's take the name of Lord Shiva.
-Hail the Lord Mahadev! -[all]: Hail the Lord Mahadev!
Suyodhana, there has been a new name in Repalle, Mathura.
-What's that? -Everyone is saying 'Govinda'.
Means, 'In the name of Lord Krishna'.
Ok. What the majority says is always good.
Brothers, let's say...
-'In the name of Lord Krishna' -[all]: 'In the name of Lord Krishna'
[snoring]
Hey, what happened?
[panting] Brother Bheema, Brother Bheema, Brother Bheema...
-Tell me! -[making snoring noise]
-Is snoring & sleeping. -Huh! He's still alive!
-Uncle, is what you mixed really a poison? -Poison?
Damn it! Shut your mouth.
Suyodhana, nothing is lost.
This is a good opportunity.
Without anyone noticing, tie his hands and legs & throw him into the pit of snakes
How will he return now? The river goes to the sea.
Wow! What a good news.
What a good news!
Do you now believe that your brother can do what he says?
Brother, your idea is fantastic.
Uncle, thanks to you, we've gotten rid of that troublesome Bheema.
[shushes] Suyodhana, don't forget yourself and shout with joy.
The walls have ears.
Mother! Mother! Bheema is not seen anywhere.
Huh? Not seen anywhere? Then what must have happened to him?
Huh, my right eye is twitching for some reason.
I hope no misfortune has befallen my child.
Aunt! Aunt! It looks like my brothers have harmed Bheema in some way.
What is it Dussala? What did they do?
I don't know! They're whispering among themselves and feeling very happy.
Oh no! Did they sacrifice my child to their hatred by any chance?
Mother, this snake charmer found Bheema's crown in a snake pit it seems.
In a snake pit?
Bheema! Bheema! [crying]
Krishna! Krishna!
Oh no! Oh no! Lightening and thunder!
Oh no! Krishna! Krishna this is the doomsday for sure Krishna.
Krishna! Krishna!
Don't be scared Kuchela, I'm here, am I not?
Wow! Krishna.
"Krishna"
"Little Krishna"
"One with incomparable mercy"
"You are the refuge for the people who are close to you during trouble"
"I can't bear this turmoil"
"Please save me"
"Oh saviour of the needy"
[laughs]
King! Oh King!
What is it Balaki?
Some child come through the water path.
He got angry and broke our spines.
Oh, is he such a brave fellow?
Grandfather Aryaka, shall we bring him here to know how great a warrior he is?
Oh you ignorant one...
Have you never heard about the popularity of snake's grudge?
...did you think you could be alive, after beating up my guards?
Oh, so you are the King of these incapable fellow.
Having challenged this son of Pandu, won't your lineage end?
[grunts]
Are you the son of Pandu?
Who is your mother, son? It's not Kunti, is it?
-She is my mother. -Oh, I'm happy to see you.
Son, I'm your mother's great grandfather.
Come here, son.
-Come here. -An elder of my mother's side! Greetings.
May you never be defeated.
Son, he is Vasuki, the King of the Nagas, another King of snakes.
He is the King of the Nagas, and is very close to us.
Ruler of the Kingdom of Nagas, my greetings.
Welcome, brave one, welcome.
Balaki! Finally a prince has come down from Earth.
For the guest, get food he likes prepared, entertainment & dances...
...be arranged and announce it to everyone as my word.

Balaki, bring the juice.
Juice? What's that?
It's the giver of great strength.
One potful will give you the strength of a 1000 elephants, son.
How many ever potfuls, you can give, I can drink that many.
Bheema, you've had one potful in one gulp easily & finished 7 by now.
And for this one, only 2 gulps?
Son, Bheema, till now no one has had even one fully.
You have finished 8 potfuls. It's not wise to cross the limits.
That's enough, son.
My head seems to be spinning.
Everything seems odd.
Mother!
Aunt, I brought you some milk. You must have some for me at least.
No dear no. I don't want anything until I see my Bheema.
Aunt!
Snake! Snake! Snake!
Arjuna, don't harm it dear.
Mother Kunti, you're son is safe in the Kingdom of snakes.
My son is alive?
-Is he fine? -Yes.
Don't worry yourself. He will return home soon.
Son, Dharmaja, Arjuna! Our Bheema is alive it seems.
Nakula, Sahadeva! Your brother Bheema is doing well, it seems.
Dear, Dussala, your brother will come return soon, dear.
Krishna, you heard my prayers and saved me is it.
You saved me, Krishna!
-Grandfather! -Son, Bheema!
Grandfather, are you all really so tiny?
Yes dear, now everyone is tiny compared to you.
Bheema you drank the Nagas divine nectar from 8 oceans...
...you now have grown so big having the strength of 8000 elephants.
What! Excellent! [laughs]
Son Bheema if at this young age, you get such a huge body...
...the evil eye will fall on you and the womb that bore you will be worried.
Grandfather, then what is the way out of this?
Don't worry. I'm giving you the boon to become small or big when you chant my name
Bheema conclude this gigantic form now.
[chants verse]
[laughs]
[chants verse]
[laughs]
[chants verse]
[laughs]
Grandfather, seeing the divine power I've received...
...mother will be so happy.
Yes son.
If you give me leave, I will go home.
Definitely my child. Your mother must be anxious to see you.
Please go home, son.
Mother! Mother! Bheema has come.
Has Bheema come?
Has my Bheema come!
-Mother! -Bheema!
-Mother! Mother! Mother! -Bheema!
You've returned, my son, you've returned.
Son, do you know how worried I was, not seeing you?
Do you know how many times everyday I've lived and died, son?
Don't cry mother, don't cry.
Mother, look. See how many gems I've brought.
I'll worship your feet with these mother.
Son, Bheema.
Mother, I drank the divine nectar of the Nagas in the Kingdom of the snakes...
...I've gained the strength of the Nagas, mother.
Mother, now with this incomparable strength, I'll defeat that evil Duryodhana
Son, don't be hasty.
No mother, we shouldn't delay anymore.
That day during the feast at the forest, they gave me poisoned food...
...tied me up with ropes & threw me into the river it seems, mother.
Who told you this, son?
Anyway, who will believe these words?
Your great grandfather Kind Aryaka himself told me in the Kingdom of snakes mother.
-King Aryaka himself! -Yes mother, the things he told me...
-...don't tell anyone else, son. -Mother!
Yes. You must behave as if nothing has happened.
What is this mother? Should we cover up the truth?
You shouldn't. Nobody can cover up the truth.
It won't stay hidden even if you try to hide it.
Dear Kunti, your amiability is praiseworthy.
But if injustice is not hindered, then it will cause disasters.
If the plant is not corrected in time, the branches will get twisted a lot more.
The offenders must be interrogated and punished.
Vidura, call for the meeting tomorrow itself.
Dhritrashtra, there shouldn't be any partiality while judging.
Make a vow to punish the criminals severely...
...and then start the interrogation.
As you say, father.
All of this is very confusing for me.
My son Suyodhana, did such a terrible thing?
I can't believe it, I can't believe it.
Dhritrashtra... false ego can lead to bad consequences.
It's your duty to forget the love for your son and take the required action.
This is not just a child's misdeed.
There must be some elders evil plan behind this.
Hence the interrogating committee must punish the criminal as he deserves.
Father, I'm not understanding anything.
You can conduct the inquiry.
Okay. Suyodhana, what did you do during the feast at the forest?
Why don't you speak?
Aren't there words to describe your evil deeds?
Unfair! Before judgement, it is unfair to use the words, evil deeds.
Suyodhana, don't be afraid. Tell whatever needs to be told.
Oh! so you've already fed him the lines?
Dhritrashtra, your child might get spoilt due to this Sakuni. Beware!
Oh! Oh! Has this meeting been called to interrogate what has happened...
...or to prevent the future events?
Both are important, Sakuni.
Suyodhana, tell what you did that day.
I was upto a good deed but it turned bad. I don't know anything.
You don't?
Not just doing wrong things but you've also learnt to cover them up, is it?
-Tell! -Father! Father!
Father! Will you stab my child with a sword!
Have mercy and let my race survive. Let my race survive.
Dhritrashtra! It is to keep your race alive...
...that day, for Dasaraja's successors to ascend this huge Hastinapura's throne,
...that I took the strict oath of celibacy.
Wasn't it to keep your race alive...
Having defeated all the kings and Kingsmen single-handedly with my combat skills
...didn't I get Kasiraja's daughter and married to your father, who was young?
I made you into an unbeatable warrior on this earth & a learned scholar,
...wasn't it to keep your race alive? But not to ruin it.
Dhritrashtra, how much I protect you, who are bound by law...
...I will not refrain from punishing your son, who is a fraud, cheat and liar.
If he accepts his fault, I will make sure Suyodhana earns utmost fame.
Suyodhana, father will keep his word. Fall at his feet and speak the truth.
Save your life and ours too, son.
Speak out boy!
Fine, I made a mistake.
Mistake? Was it a mistake to procure the poison for this specific task...
...or was it a mistake to mix it in the food & make Bheema eat that food...
...or to cover your mis deeds...
...was it a mistake that you threw him in to a snake pit bound hand & foot.
Which was a mistake? Tell me boy, tell me.
[crying]
Oh no! I can't see this terrible scene. I can't bear it.
Suyodhana, don't hesitate, tell the truth.
Yes, I procured poison to kill Bheema.
I mixed it in the food.
Is this something which occurred to you, so did someone else teach you?
Nobody taught me.
I thought & did this to destroy Bheema who is stronger than me.
The mistake is mine. Forgive me.
Not just at my feet, beg forgiveness at Bheema's feet too. Hmm!
Bheema, please forgive my mistake.
Suyodhana, it is the elders who have to forgive, not me.
Due to this, I drank the nectar of the Nagas, and gained the strength of Nagas
For that, I appreciate you.
Suyodhana, the eldest among all of you...
...one who is well-appreciated by everyone, is only Dharmaja.
Hug him and promise that you all will stay and play together &
...that you'll live amicably together.
-Dharmaja. -Suyodhana, you don't have to say anything
From today we are 105 brothers.
Insult! Insult! Shameful!
It is better I end my life, than staying alive after being humiliated.
It is I better end my life!
-Suyodhana! Suyodhana! -I won't come, I won't come.
Attempting suicide for every petty thing isn't the characteristic of a wise one.
While I'm here, why should you be so helpless?
In a filled assembly, without telling the truth, seeing the bravery you displayed...
Woah, I was impressed.
If you follow my instructions, I'll make you an emperor.
Though those Pandavas might have earned countless people's respect...
...we have the strength of these numbers. Look.
Suyodhana, make a wish. Pick any number.
Do not hesitate, you will see the result with your own eyes.
Six.
[laughs]
Three.
[laughs]
Did you see that? Some day these will destroy the Pandavas.
They will make you ascend the throne.
My dice are your safe guards.
[laughs]
Prince of Gandhara!
The reason you came to Hastina, why you decided to stay here for so long...
...is not that I'm not aware of.
That day even when all of your family collapsed in the prison...
...how you remained strong, is not something I couldn't understand.
Sakuni, don't think I haven't noticed the grudge hiding in your eyes.
In the act of poisoning Bheema, the extent of your contribution...
...though the child has hidden this veteran could guess.
In the full assembly punishing you, would for your sister & brother-in-law...
...causing sadness, tears and grief was not something I wanted, hence...
...I spared you.
You have intelligence higher than the sky.
Couldn't you understand this? Or do you want me to believe that?
Sakuni, don't you forget this...
...this huge empire that I have established...
...due to your cunning, in front of my eyes collapsing...
...I will not tolerate it.
Suyodhana, company beyond age, is not good for the family, son.
Go, go and play with your brothers. Enjoy your sister's songs. Go.
Go!

Oh no! It's fallen in very deep. What's the way out now?
This Bheema is the reason for all of this.
Why couldn't you throw not using all of your strength?
If not with strength, should I throw it weakly like you?
Ok, why argue now? First let's think of a way to bring it out.
It's very deep, how do we remove it?
If we tie a rope to someone & lower them, we can get it.
Yes, if it's Ulooka, it'll be very easy as he's light weighted. We can pull easily.
[shivering] Oh no! Me? I will never go down.
Ulooka, don't be afraid, I'm here, am I not?
I will hold the rope very tight.
Then what about the rope?
If you remove everyone's top cloth and tie together, we'll have enough rope.
Hmm, everyone take it off.
There, Ulooka is escaping, catch him, catch him!
Leave me! Leave me!
[indistinct crying]
Save me! Save me!
I'm scared! I'm scared please!
Oh no! Oh no!
Stop it! Stop it! What is this torture?
Why are you throwing him in the well?
You came like a God. They're throwing me into the well, to retrieve the ball.
Save me.
Isn't there any other way to remove the ball?
You look like princes. Didn't your teacher teach you to use arrows skilfully?
Greetings to the revered one.
What is the connection between a ball and arrows?
A talented archer can build an arch even to the sky, with arrows.
Things which are deep down can be brought up with arrows.
Watch.
[applause]
Wow! What an unparalleled prowess with the weapons.
Krupacharya, who is this great person?
Who else but my brother-in-law, Dronacharya.
-Brother-in-law. -Brother-in-law.
-Brother! -Kripi, are you well?
Well? No brother. Your brother-in-law has prowess with weapons...
...but not in finances.
We're roaming the country. Cannot even afford the milk for the child.
Huh! Poverty for such a skilled archer?
If you had approached any King, they would've made you a teacher & worshiped.
He can't spread his arms and ask for help.
Not refusing those who asked from him...
he who even made the poor people wealthy, from such Parasuram...
...he learnt archery but couldn't bring the fortune of wealth.
Are you Parasurama's student? He is my teacher too.
Dronacharya we're students of the same teacher, equal to brothers...
Without refusing us, you must live in our Kingdom, oblige us...
...and make our children experts in the art of weaponry.
Don't doubt brother-in-law. I've taught them all I know.
You should teach them the next appropriate skills.
You must oblige Bheeshma's desire.
Ok. There's nothing more joyful than sharing the knowledge.
I will happily teach to the qualified ones whatever they deserve.
Happy to hear.
Students, please demonstrate the expertise of your learning.
Look there, there's bird on that tree.
You need to pick up your bow & aim an arrow into its right eye.
Suyodhana.
Raise the bow and pull back the arrow.
-Can you see the tree? -Yes, I can see the tree.
-The branch? -The branch & sky along with it are seen.
-The bird? -What kind of questions are these teacher?
My parents don't have eyes, but I do.
You do? Where? On your head?
Suyodhana, a student who can't answer his teacher obediently, is not a good student.
You can't learn this art. Go on.
-Bheema. -Please order, teacher.
-Can you see the tree? -Yes, I can see it teacher.
-The branch? -I can the branch too nicely, teacher.
-The bird? -I can see it too, teacher.
Bheema, you cannot gain unparalleled prowess in this art. Go on.
As per your wish, teacher.
Arjuna.
-Can you see the tree? -No.
-The branch? -No.
-The bird? -No.
Then what do you see?
I can see only the right eye of the bird, teacher.
Then release the arrow.
[clapping]
Students, now do you understand how to focus on the target.
You must also practice like Arjuna.
Greetings to the teacher, greetings.
My son, is feeling excited to learn archery from you.
Please teach him?
-Who are you? -My name is Vasidishringa.
In Velpula, they call me Hiranyadhanu.
In that same dialect, they call my son, Ekalavya.
You are the right teacher for him.
Nishadas, are not destined to learn Vedas.
It's against the law to teach them the art of archery.
Oh no, teacher, my son has come trusting you.
Will you kill my desires?
I cannot defy tradition.
I cannot teach when it's against the law.
Teacher, I came placing my trust on you.
I cannot pray anyone else but you. Have mercy & teach me.
I fall at your feet and beg. Don't refuse.
I cannot cross the law. I cannot teach you.
Teacher,I said your name, kept you in my mind...
...I picked up the bow...
...and learnt archery. Bless me teacher, bless me.
Fine, stick to the righteous path and fulfill your wishes my son.
[tapping]
[clapping]
Bravo, child. Bravo!
You kept up your father's name.
Nakula, Sahadeva, remove the torches.
[whooshing sounds]
What are these noises in the dark?
Forgive me teacher. I'm practicing archery in the darkness.
Good, good. How did you get this thought?
One night, a gale blew during dinner time & blew out the lamps.
I understood where the various items were on the leaf & dined in the dark itself.
I learnt that with practice, one can win even in darkness.
Well said, Arjuna, well said. Your expertise is praiseworthy.
I will impart you with all the knowledge I have.
I promise you that there'll be no better archer than you on Earth.
Suyodhana, in a mace fight you cannot hit below the waist even by mistake.
It's against the rules, remember that.
Okay, teacher.
Hmm.
-Ah![groans] -Suyodhana!
Outrageous, unfair! This mistake was done on purpose. It can't be forgiven.
If it's done for self defense, how can it be a mistake teacher?
Are you still arguing? It's definitely a mistake.
I'm telling you for your good.
If you fall into bad ways like this, it's harmful for you only.
Remember this. It's enough for today.
Did that Bheema hit my child so mercilessly in the mace fight?
Is his body full of wounds?
You said that, that proud Bheema is now the recipient of the Nagas strength...
...how can my child bear his blows and how can he live.
What will happen to his body?
Don't worry about it dear.
If that Bheema is the recipient of the Nagas strength...
...I will make our Suyodhana an even more diamond hard bodied one.
I've already made a plan for it.
We will see it's miracle. Aghori!
Oh! Oh!
Lady Gandhari, get ready to accept the blessing of Mother Amruthavarshini.
[shouts chants]
Aghori, explain the royalty the process how prince can become a strong bodied one.
[chants]
Here are very rare and miraculous herbs.
On a full moon day, among floor decors, worship the Mother Amruthavarshini.
With the juice squeezed, take the power of the nectar on your hands.
Rub those hands on your son's body from head to toe.
His body will become equivalent to a diamond.
I'm blessed.
Sister, tomorrow is the full moon of the Sravana month.
You must definitely follow this process of the nectar on the hands.
It is my responsibility to bring the child from the Gurukul.
Welcome to the guest Sage Sandeepani.
Our ashram is blessed with your visit.
Our students are also fortunate.
They are blessed to get the opportunity to show each of their skills.
Today my wishes have fructified.
It's my wish to spend time together with co-students and co-saints.
He's my prime student Balarama.
He is Sudama, his other name is Kuchela.
Greetings to Revered Bharadwaja.
Greetings to the teacher of the warriors of Bharatha.
We pray that you accept this as our gift.
Happy to.
Dharmaja, take it.
Share it with your brothers and eat.
Revered one...
Son of the wind God, greetings.
Cousin, without any introduction being done, you identified me?
The Sun and the Moon need no introduction.
-Arjuna. -Cousin, son of Devaki.
I'm very happy, very pleased.
I'm very happy to hear that you also are a mace fighter.
Suyodhana!
It's the teacher's order to share this fruit.
Brother, divide this fruit into two.
One is for us, the other is for the Kauravas.
What? Five pieces for the five of you and the rest of it is ours.
-No. -Yes.
-Hey! -Hmm!
Krishna, come here.
Have you already tried to create the breach of friendship?
What brother? What did I do?
Are you encouraging them to fight? Today for a fruit and tomorrow for the kingdom?
Oh God! What kind of a blame is this?
Krishna, don't I know about you?
Suyodhana, you have tasted the blows of my hand...
...if you act stubborn, you will be defeated.
Bheema, let there not be spite among brothers.
Suyodhana, you can all take the fruit.
If you feel like, then give us a share.
Krishna...
You are the mother, father, teacher, God and everything for my children.
It's your responsibility to make their lives better.
That's my duty. You stay assured. Can I take leave now?
Hail to Amruthavarshini devi.
-Satyasena! Satyasena! -Yes, sister-in-law.
Did you check the water clock? Is the time for the divine nectar fast approaching?
No sister-in-law, there's still some time.
-Has Suyodhana come. Is he getting ready? -Yes he is.
Look Satyasena. Nobody apart from Suyodhana must come here.
-Go and lock the door. -Ok, sister-in-law.
Aunt, Gandhari devi.
Accept the greetings from this son of Vasudeva.
-Is it Krishna? -Yes.
Come,please come. But this is not the time to honor you, who never otherwise does.
I'm held up between things.
Why do I need honour, aunt? It's ok if you show enough generosity
What is that ritual you are doing after all?
It's some ritual for women, son.
Oh!
-Son, Krishna. -Yes, aunt.
I heard that you are an expert in politics.
Look son, the jealous people may be creating false accusations on my children,
...and may tell you the lies.
Ignoring them, please extend your help to my children who are law bound.
I'm always on the side of justice aunt.
Sister-in-law, the time is upon us.
True, it might create a breach in ritual. Can I take your leave now?
-Satyasena. -Sister-in-law.
-Did that dark fellow leave? -Yeah.
Go, lock that door & call Suyodhana. Go.
Brother!
What are you in this form for?
Dussala, what work do you have here?
This is my room. What work do you have here?
Suyodhana! Come quickly.
Go, go! The auspicious time is passing by.
Suyodhana!
[laughs]
Son, today onwards your body will be as strong as a diamond.
The mountains will also be crushed to powder if they dash against you.
Bheema it seems, gained the strength of the Nagas.
He will not be able to do anything to you here forth.
Touching your body which will be hard like a diamond...
...his mace will break into pieces.
Oh! What's this?
Didn't I order you to come without any clothes on?
True but I felt shy in front of that drama queen Dussala.
Oh no! Are all my prayers for nothing?
Will your thighs be weak forever?
Deadly fate!
Greetings.
Father equivalent, prince of Gandhara, my humble greetings.
Oh Krishna! Your over humbleness is amazing.
It's something I learnt from elders like you.
I take leave.
I never thought that my own daughter would turn into an enemy of my womb.
How could you do this?
There... She's coming with uncle, acting like she's innocent.
Dussala!
Why are you shouting like that? What did I do?
What else should you do? You came into the room and stood in front of me.
Oh no! You've ruined all my hopes.
What's this sister?
As something like this would happen, I've held her with me from the past 2 hours.
Ah! I now know. This is the cunning game of that dark fellow. Huh!
Oh my co-saint, Dronacharya...
Your honoring, respect & hospitality are just amazing.
Can we take your leave now?
Balarama, where is Krishna?
Krishna...
Arjuna, you must become ambidextrous.
All right cousin, I will make sure there's no better archer than me.
Silly cousin. A better archer than you already exists in this forest boundaries.
Go for a hunt with the teacher's permission, you yourself will know.
Pull it! Pull it!
[laughs]
Stop! This is our place.
If you so wish to hunt, then you must first take our permission.
Who are you? This is our kingdom. We will hunt as per our wishes.
I've warned you. If you don't heed...
What will you do? If you talk too much we will hunt you itself.
Oh is it so?
Fire! Fire! [in unison]
Teacher, teacher! Save us! Save us!
Fire! Fire! [in unison]
Arjuna, use the water yielding weapon and put out that fire.
Hail to the teacher.
Fire! Fire! [in unison]
Greetings teacher. Greetings!
Ekalavya.. Is it you?
From which teacher did you learn such prowess in archery?
The teacher who taught you, taught me too.
-Drona is my teacher. -Me? I taught you archery?
Yes teacher, yes.
I made your figurine and installed.
I prayed to you like God everyday.
Teacher, it was you who taught me by whispering each trick day by day in my ear
I promise you that there'll be no better archer than you on Earth.
Teacher, I swear by you.
I prayed in front of your figurine & I attained expertise with your blessings
Today my prayers are answered & my teacher has come walking to my place.
Today is a festival. Today is a celebration.
Oho! Come villagers, come. Oho!
"He came, he came"
"My God alike teacher came, the teacher who taught me has come"

[humming]
Teacher, this is my body, this is my land and these are my community people
Please ask for whatever you wish, I will give it.
You won't refuse once I ask, will you?
Teacher, one who has learnt from you, if he breaks his word...
...isn't it a shameful thing for you yourself?
Will this passionate student cause a shaming to his teacher?
Then cut off your right hand thumb & give it to me, as a token of gratitude.
Is that it? I will give it whole heartedly, I will!
Wait, son. Wait.
Sir, this is not fair on your part.
Isn't a hand without thumb, like a body without head?
After teaching him so much, don't let it go to waste. Ask for any other gifts.
My power, my income and popularity, I will give them all to you from today.
Beyond all of this, I will lay even my life at your feet, sir.
Have mercy on my child. Have mercy.
[crying]
Father...
Since childhood, you have raised me preaching...
...that it is better to die than backing off from the word.
Isn't that a shame for you that your child couldn't give what was asked for?
I cannot bring that bad name to you.
I have to fulfill the teacher's wish. Please agree.
Wipe your tears & being cheerful, make me give him the gift.
Yes, son, yes.
You are my child. You won't refuse what is asked for. You won't say no.
Oh great sir...
...what made you ask such a strange wish..
...and why your heart has turned hard like a stone...
...I may not now, the one above, knows it.
He will definitely keep an eye on you.
[crying]
What a thing you've done?
Why have you deliberately brought this blot on your unblemished character?
I never thought you'd go off the righteous path and behave so cruelly.
Fate is most cruel than anything else.
For every deed done by a human, there is a strong unseen reason present.
That's the creator's will.
Let be a strict follower of the justice, yet he cannot wipe off his fate...
...and he cannot leave the path destined for him.
Don't worry about my deeds.
You please witness and enjoy the brave tasks of my students.
The arrangements for display of their art of weaponry are done. Visit & enjoy them.
The future King of the Bharatha empire...
...the eldest of the generation, Kunti's son Dharmaja...
...will show his skills of Javelin throw.
[scoffs] Just like naming an unborn baby...
...this teacher is already giving them the titles.
That is his blessing, sister.
Dharmaja!
[claps]
Now, Bheema & Suyodhana will display the art of mace fight.
Bheema...Suyodhana.
Suyodhana, well-done!
Well done Bheema! Well done!
Who is winning?
Sister, this is not a war just an exhibition of talent.
There's no scope for winning or losing here.
What is that?
When two people compete only one can win.
[maces clanking]
[groans]
Watch out Bheema, I shall break your arms!
I will break your head into pieces.
Their emotions are aggravating, it might turn ruin the show,
Aswaddhama... Go and stop them.
Stop... Stop!
Teacher has ordered you to stop.
Stop! Hmm!
Stop! As you disobeyed teacher's order, you will have to be punished.
Go away!
-Hmm! -Hmm!
Now, please witness an unparalleled talented archer,
my favourite student Arjuna's archery skills.
Arjuna...
[laughs]
[crowd applauses]
[crowd screams]
What? What happened?
My son has lit up fire flames with Agneya arrow(weapon)
-Bravo Arjuna Kumara! -Hail! [crowd in unison]
What happened now?
Arjuna Kumara has put off the fire with the Varuna arrow.
Oh!
I'm proud of Arjuna's excellence in skills.
No other archer as good as Arjuna, exists on Earth.
Why not? He exists!
Given an opportunity, I can prove that I am a better archer than Arjuna.
Who is your teacher?
Who is the teacher for the birds that fly and the fish that swim?
Who is the teacher for the flowers that blossom and the flaming volcanoes?
The one who created every being on this Earth, the one who guides us
...that Lord Shiva is my teacher.
[crowd applauses]
Bravo Raadheya!
You created clouds with Parjanya weapon and cleared them with Anila weapon?
Teacher, will you now agree that I am as good as your favourite student in archery?
Please grant permission for mutual fight.
-Please give them the permission. -Please do! [in unison]
Why don't you grant permission teacher?
I know the reason behind teacher's silence.
Karna, the princes will fight only with their peers and equivalents
but will not demonstrate their skills against others.
It's against the law.
Mention your caste and creed and then can fight with Arjuna.
Why don't you speak out?
[inaudible conversation]
This is unjust!
This is the trick by both the teachers as they knew Arjuna will be defeated.
Krupacharya...
Don't you know that he isn't from an upper caste, and doesn't have army and kingdom?
Father...
Father, it came to my notice that there's no King for Anga Kingdom presently.
I request you to crown Karna as the king of Anga kingdom,
and give him a chance to present his skills of archery.
What do you say father?
It's fair to give a chance to a boy to exhibit his skills.
Please grant him.
At this stage, right now in the presence of this people gathered here...
...I crown Karna as the king of Anga kingdom.
-To Karna, the king of Anga kingdom... -Hail! [in unison]
Arjuna... I, the king of Anga kingdom invite you...
...if you have the guts to face me,
...you can come to the fight.
Oh, you refer yourself with respect and disrespect me?
Have you started to show your head-weight from the moment you are crowned?
Your arrogance will also go way just like how the Sun is setting away now.
The Sun has set, the skills exhibition will end for the day.
Aswaddhama, please ask the closure notes on the blow horns
[blowing horns]
Karna, we are thick friends from today.
Our friendship must stay ideal and be cherished forever!
How can I forget you who helped me in the hour of need and made me a king?
I can sacrifice my life, respect, wealth and everything for your sake.
I swear on Sun God!
My greeting to the ones who crowned me.
Mother, my friend, Karna, the king of Anga Kingdom...
is greeting you, please bless him mother.
-Greetings mother. -May your friendship stay strong forever.
Dear Karna... Come here son!
Please take this mother's blessings son.
What? My enemy's mother is blessing me?
If sons become each other's enemies, mothers would be worried son.
They wish for everyone's welfare.
May you be blessed with sons and grandsons and live happily forever.
Mother...
King of Anga... Come let's go.
Radha...
Please remove the evil eye off him once you go home.
Sure.
[sobs]
Mother, why do you shed tears while your sons return in victory?
These are tears of joy, my son!
Stop!
What are these?
The gifts to teacher as a token of gratitude.
We have been waiting for these, give me.
Not to you, as a representative of all the sons...
your grandfather Bheeshma wants, Dharmanandana to hand them over.
[scoffs] Is grandfather out of his mind?
How will that Adharmanandana has this authority while I, the future king am here
Those Pandavas are the refugees who live at our mercy.
Brothers, please collect all the gifts. Hmm!
Come on!
Huh? How arrogant!
How dare they disobey grandfather's order?
They will pay for it. You please calm down.
Gurudeva, these gemstones, these fine jewellery and these silk clothes
...please accept as a token of our gratitude
Me, the prince who is the moon of the perennial Kourava dynasty...
...please relieve along with my brothers from the school.
Where are the Pandavas?
As they are too poor to present any gifts should have left in disgrace.
I know about Pandava's obedience.
They would not step out of the school without their teacher's permission.
May your unparalleled fame stays forever like the moon and the stars.
Arjuna, you are the favourite student of your teacher. Why do you look sad?
That's the reason madam. Teacher said there's no better student than me
but Ekalavya has surpassed me by giving him an extra ordinary gift.
I am not sure what to gift him, in order to keep up his word.
I am not sure what makes him happy.
But, there's a something painful from the past that pricks him.
What is it?
While Aswaddhama was an infant, we couldn't even afford a pot full of milk
Though your teacher could bear that miserable situation, I couldn't bear it.
Your teacher and the king of Panchaala kingdom were classmates.
During their schooling, Drupada promised he'd give half his kingdom if asked for.
I reminded him about that and I sent him to Drupada.
Then...
Hmm!
I am the lord of all oceans, seas, forests, earth and women
How can after all a vedic scholar sit equivalent to me?
[scoffs] Half the throne or half the kingdom?
Half the respect is what you deserve.
Hmm!
You arrogant!
You insulted me.
I take an oath to make you fall at my feet open your eyes and teach you a lesson.
That oath is still unfulfilled.
He is lamenting for that.
[sobs]
Father...
Your son has pursued all his skills and has come to greet you.
Mother, I have presented an extra-ordinary gift to the teacher.
Suyodhana...
Where are Pandavas?
Didn't you all present the gifts to the teacher together?
But they didn't come along with us.
We waited. But we got vexed and exhausted. So we alone gifted them to teacher.
The guards say that they have gone out of the country.
Teacher, here is your longed wish.
Please accept your oath being fulfilled as a token of gratitude from Pandavas
and relieve us.
Arjuna, my teaching has met its purpose today.
Oh no, who is this?
Oh, the lord of all oceans, seas, forests, earth and women, King Drupada?
Is it his ill fate, falling at the feet of after all a poor vedic scholar?
Friend Dronacharya, please forgive me.
I completely lost that arrogance of being a king.
Please forgive me.
Arjuna, please relieve him from that ties.
[chants verse]
King Drupada...
Though it's a distress to see you come in this manner to our kingdom,
I am delighted to see you reaffirm your childhood friendship.
Bheeshmaacharya, the head of the Kuru dynasty...
I'm blessed to meet you atleast this way.
Our boys did this just in order to keep their teacher's oath but...
they do not hold any kind of disrespect towards you.
Dear Arjuna... Yes, grand father...
Please ask for this great man's forgiveness.
Please forgive me.
Son, it's a blessing to the Kuru dynasty
and to my friend Dronacharya to have you as their son and student respectively.
Son, how good it had been if a valourous warrior like you...
stays as a hope of my home and as a lotus to my eyes.
True, lets turn this acquaintance which started as a fight into a matrimonial.
Great sir, am I that fortunate?
Unless one does a penance, wouldn't get a son-in-law like Arjuna.
Friend, then start that penance immediately
Dear Arjuna, your gift is incomparable!
No other student can give anything beyond this to any teacher.
Teacher, is it fair to say this?
Not sure what kind of gift is my cousin, Krishna, the supreme God is going to give.
[blows conch shell]
Who is that who came to confront this most powerful man Yama?
Who is that who wants to turn into ashes in the flames of my anger?
One who doesn't know my power? Who is that?
Yama Dharma Raja... please stop!
Will you insult the eternal one who incarnated to protect the universe?
If you open your eyes wide open, you can see my brother's miracle.
Lord, how may I help you?
Samavarthi, please bring my teacher's son who is dead, back to life.
Lord...
"Can a human who is dead, be brought to life again?"
"The rivers that have merged into the ocean..."
"Is it possible to draw them out?"
"The laws of life are strong"
"Can they be crossed?"
"Oh supreme soul, will you let the principles made by you..."
"...be broken?"
Dharma, "The birth and death are as per my wish"
"The deed I propose will become a moral"
"Service to teacher is the holiest deed on the Earth"
"So, please give life to..."
"...teacher's son soon"
"Please give life to my teacher's son soon."
My pleasure.
Sandeepani Kumara...
Sandeepani Kumara, your parents are awaiting your arrival. Let's go.
Samavarthi, I'll take leave now.
Teacher... Here is your son.
-Father... -Son...
-Father... -Have you come for real, my son?
Gruhini... Gruhini...
Here is our son. Balarama and Krishna brought him.
-Son... -Mother...
Son... Son!
Krishna... Balarama...
Yours is the real gratitude and this is the real token of gratitude.
How can I ever thank you enough? How do I praise your favour?
Sri Krishna... Balarama...
I'm blessed to be your teacher.
This divine deed will be an epic and will be cherished forever.
True... True! True yet again!
Whoa! This scene is a feast to my eyes. Today is a festival.
The duo of human and God have achieved great victories on the same day.
and have presented their teachers the gifts that they have longed for.
Arjuna too presented his token of gratitude?
Narada, please explain us.
Arjuna has caught and bind the extremely powerful king Drupada
and broke his pride by making him fall at his teacher's feet
Narada, what is the use of breaking the pride of others?
If he can remove the envy and jealousy of the family members,
he will be called a brave son.
The envy and jealousy of the family members?
Yeah, I understood.
You mean to remove the jealousy of Kauravas, Gandhari's envy
Not that alone, if he wins the celestial Gods too along with the people on Earth
he will earn good fame.
I got it.
You are subtly giving me an instruction to start the next chapter in this play.
I will fulfill your will. I'll take your leave.
Narayana! Narayana!
Can't my sons earn more fame than those Pandavas?
Don't feel bad dear, how do you greater results performing lesser rituals?
I will perform any number of reituals for the welfare of my sons.
I will perform any ritual.
If any great man advises me any powerful ritual...
-Narayana, Narayana! -Oh is it Sage Narada...
Please be seated.
I guess you heard my plea and came this way.
Revered Sage, please advise any ritual that makes my sons powerful.
There's a great ritual called 'Airavatha (white elephant in Indraloka) ritual'
The mother who performs that will boosts up the fame and glory of her sons.
Airavatha ritual? Please let me know it's procedure.
This ritual is performed by Gowri Devi in Kailasha.
That is why this is called 'Gaja Gowri ritual'
By praying Airavatha with thousand petal flowers
by going on a procession on it, should give offering to 100 mothers.
How can Airavatha come to the Earth? This ritual seems impossible.
If you want the impossible victories, you have to perform infallible rituals.
Keeping the human's difficulties in mind,
the makers of the rituals have also included some amendments.
They have already said in every ritual that...
If one cannot afford gold, can replace it with silver, or copper
if you can't afford that too replace it with clay. Is what they said.
If Airavatha is unfetchable, then make it's replica with clay and pray it.
Oh God! How do we go on a procession on a clay elephant?
Is that how clever you are? We can just add the wheels to it!
Yeah! I will get the elephant prepared tomorrow.
No no, you shouldn't get it done.
Yeah, if he touches it, it's divinity might just go away.
The clay elephant must be prepared...
...only by the sons.
That is why it's said that, let there be none, any mother with sons can perform it.
Wow! So my aunt Kunti Devi can also perform this.
Dussala, you stay put!
Sage, please suggest some auspicious time to start preparing the elephant.
The forth coming Hastha star day is excellent.
Get the clay that day, and prepare the elephant.
Oh that's not a big deal. We are 100 brothers here.
We shall get the clay easily and make a replica of the Airavatha.
Good.
Sage, you have to be by our side and help us perform this ritual.
I am nothing here, it's all that Supreme God who guides and executes everything.
Narayana! Narayana!
"Wow! Oh elder cousin!"
"Whoa! Hey younger cousin!"
"This is a wonder that we've never ever heard or seen."
"This is your unmatched achievement"
"Wow! Oh elder cousin! Whoa! Hey younger cousin!"
"You are 100 sons"
"Even the thunders get scared of you"
"You are 100 sons"
"Even the thunders get scared of you"
"You are smart enough to get the clay, make a heap"
and make a figurine of the royal elephant.
"Smart enough to make figurine of the royal elephant."
"No other brave men or heroes are at par with you"
"Wow! Oh elder cousin! Whoa! Hey younger cousin!"
"There is no other God other than mother"
"and kids are those who fulfill their mother's wish"
"No other mother performed any ritual mightier than this"
"This is not a lie, in this world..."
"...none like you will exist ever"
"Wow! Oh elder cousin! Whoa! Hey younger cousin!"
"Percussions and beautiful rangolis"
"Stone studded umbrellas and celebrations"
"Percussions and beautiful rangolis"
"Stone studded umbrellas and celebrations"
"The whole city is decorated with Mango leaves, banners and dances on the streets"
"Grand procession and offerings"
"makes lives happier"
"Wow! Oh elder cousin! Whoa! Hey younger cousin!"
"This is a wonder that we've never ever heard or seen."
"This is your unmatched achievement"
Mother, won't you give the offering to aunt Kunti Devi?
To that widow? No!
There's no rule that you shouldn't give to widows.
But they said any mother can perform this ritual and receive its offering.
You do not know, you keep quiet.
Mother, why haven't they stopped by at our place?
Why haven't they given you the offering?
It's up to them, to stop by and give it.
Radha, please accept the offering.
Madam, are you giving me the offering?
Yes Radha, it's for you! You are the mother the brave hero Karna
Why shouldn't you? Please accept.
I did accept the offering.
Mother, did you see this?
Gandhari Devi gave a grand offering to that Karna's mother.
Don't you mean atleast as much as her to them?
It's okay son.
Damn! What an arrogant woman! I should teach a proper lesson to her
I can single handedly make that elephant that those 100 brothers made together.
Son... Bheema?
Hmm!
[chants verse]
[laughs loudly]
Brother... Bheema...
Bheema... Bheema...
Don't get scared, I'm just throwing the clay balls to the shore.
Just watch out, be careful!
Why are you here? Go away! Go!
We won't!
Go away, will you?
[laughs]
[laugh in unison]
Uncle, please have it.
Ha ha, I'm done with my feast long ago son-in-law.
The disgrace of Pandavas is the grand royal feast to us.
Hey! Come on have them!
[continues to laugh loudly]
Mother, Brother Bheema has grown gigantic.
He is throwing clay balls and ruining the city.
Yes mother, you have to come.
Let's go.
Dear Bheema, you are creating a havoc, please calm down.
[continues to laugh loudly]
Son, Bheema...
Please don't get the ill fame that my son has destroyed the city.
Mother, not at all!
This is for your ritual. we brothers must make the clay elephant figurine.
Why should mother of the most victorious and valourous sons like us...
...perform ritual with a clay figurine?
She will perform with the real Airavatha itself. Come down.
-Is that possible? -Yes it is!
There is nothing that a human cannot achieve. First you come down son!
Airavatha is in Indraloka. How do we get it?
We can just send a letter throw arrows to Indra to send the white elephant.
I will send the letter, I will get the Airavatha to the Earth.
I will make sure mother performs the ritual. You first come down.
-Please come down son. -[chants verse]
Where did this arrow come from?
If you observe keenly, it looks like an arrow that came from the humans.
Guru, please read aloud!
To the respected the king of Amaraloka
his mind-born son, Arjuna greets and writes this request.
As my mother intends to perform Airavatha ritual...
...I request you to send your royal elephant.
Please send a reply at 2 hours after receiving this letter.
...yours obediently, Arjuna!
[scoffs] How would Devendra send the royal elephant to humans at the order of a boy?
What an arrogance of after all a human!
We must teach a proper lesson to that braggart.
Yamadharmaraja don't be hasty!
Haven't you witnessed just now?
Which human did ever send a message to the heaven with an arrow?
Devendra, that human is none other than the one in the 'Duo of human & God'.
That human? Then we have to give it a thought Narendra.
Let him be the human or the God!
I will never surrender.
Yeah! But don't forget that Arjuna is your son.
I will not show any mercy just because he is my son.
If he is really that powerful...
he can come here, face the consequences and return with victory
Guru, please send the messenger and inform them about my decision.
King of Amaraloka, Indra has sent blessings to Arjuna.
Didn't he send Airavatha?
He asked me to inform that he can send it all along if you send your messenger
You have to decide now. I'll take your leave.
I will right away build a ladder to heaven with arrows.
Well, then I will immediately go and get the Airavatha.
May there be no delay in good deeds.
"Human is the greatest being"
"He is the one who possesses strength and intelligence"
"Human is the honourable being"
"Human is the greatest being"
"If human initiates good deeds, there would be no hindrance"
"Though the inspiration is by the God, it's human who achieves it"
"Human is the greatest being"
"Bhageeratha, who brought the Ganges from the sky to the Earth, is a human"
"Dhruva, who turned into a firm star in the sky, is also a human"
"Viswamithra, who duplicated the creation is also a human"
"The best out of all the crores of living beings, is human"
"Human is the greatest being"
"Crossing the constellation zodiac stars and through the path of great stars"
"Entering into the orbit beyond the sky..."

"he is the one who can triumph and return Earth alive"
"Human is the greatest being"
"He is the one who possesses strength and intelligence"
"Human is the honourable being"
"Human is the greatest being"
To the king of Amaraloka, me, the prince of Pandavas,
...the third son of Kunti, Bheemasena, is greeting you!
As per your instruction, I came as my brother Arjuna has sent me over.
I request you to send Airavatha along.
Son, Airavatha has divine powers.
Not everyone can get her in control.
You seem to be too young for it.
If you have the guts that you can get her in control, I have no objection at all.
-What do you say? -Thank you for your generosity.
Karna, Bheema must have reached Heaven by now.
We have to ruin the ladder so that he cannot return.
Use your Agneya(fire) weapon and burn into ashes.
It's not something that respectful men would do.
It's unjust to shoot arrow sneaking behind.
Whether it's fair or not. I have accepted you as my friend.
I made you the king to Anga kingdom. You swore on Sun God that day
Will you back-out now?
Please don't feel bad Suyodhana.
I will do anything as per your word for the sake of our friendship.
I will bear that ill-fame for your sake though the whole world calls it unjust.
Ah! Karna this is what is called keeping up the friendship.
Do not delay, go ahead!
Sakuni...
Evil minded one!
Though you've been warned umpteen times, you never stop your evil tricks.
You, who fed poisonous thoughts these young minds must not be spared.
Karna, you resorted to do wrongful deeds on other's feeding?
Is this why you have learnt the archery pleasing the Sun God?
Their friendship might cause your downfall.
Hmm! We must punish this evil-four people!
Take them into custody.
Dharmaja and Arjuna...
Do not worry. Justice will prevail!
Bheema can return to Earth with the help of the Gods.
[elephant trumpeting]
[elephant trumpeting continues]
Mother... [groans]
Bheema... Bheema... Dear...
[chants verse]
-[laughs loudly] -[elephants groans]
[continues to laugh loudly]
Bheema... Bheema... Bheema
I will send you along with the Airavatha, please come down.
[chants verse]
Oh strong one, Bheema! I'm impressed with your strength.
Your valour is unbeatable!
I can send the Airavatha along with you today.
You can perform your mother's ritual successfully.
Airavatha...
Go to the Earth along with Bheema and cooperate with them to perform the ritual.
Narada, you are the one who initiated this ritual
-you go in person and execute it. -[chuckles]
Messenger... Please take them to the Earth.
Narayana... Narayana!
[chanting verses]
[percussions]
-To Kunti devi -Hail! [in unison]
-To the five Pandavas -Hail! [in unison]
-To Bheemasena -Hail! [in unison]
[applause continues]
Suyodhana... Suyodhana...
Airavatha has come. The celebration is happening in a grand manner.
Celebration! Big deal!
You too join their procession! Get out!
[applause continues]
Man proposes, God disposes!
I made many trials to make my son more powerful that Kunti's sons.
All of them went in vain.
Those Pandavas are only flourishing.
My son is the one who ended up in the jail.
My envy and jealousy is the reason for all this.
[applause continues]
The percussions are approaching, is Kunti coming to our place to give the offering?
Oh come on don't be silly, why will she come here?
She won't. I mercilessly insulted Kunti by not giving her the offering.
I lost that honour of receiving her offering.
Mother... Mother...
Aunt came to give you the ritual offering.
Huh? To me?
No Dussala, I am not fortunate enough.
How could you say that sister? I performed the Airavatha ritual with your grace.
Who else could I give the first offering other than you sister?
Please accept.
-The first offering? To me? -Yeah to you!
Please accept Gandhari Devi.
-Who is that? Sage Narada? -Yeah!
Sage, are you executing the ritual personally?
Yes mother, I told you that day itself.
It is that Supreme God who guides and executes everything.
He made me guide and made your sister perform the ritual.
True, how can an unfortunate women like me who perform the ritual with clay elephant,
...have the honour of having a sage as the priest?
Sister Kunti, you are really a fortunate woman.
You have given birth to competent sons.
Performing the ritual with their valour and strength
and being blessed with great prosperity.
We too have sons! 100 of them, for the count!
But not one is efficient.
It's not their fault.
Parents responsibility doesn't end just by giving birth.
You should raise them with good virtues.
Only then you will see good results.
Kunti Devi is the live example for that.
Yes, I am the example for the bad results.
In the greed of becoming a great mother I turned as a bad mother.
Father-in-law, please forgive me.
Atleast from now on, I will strive to live like a good mother.
Please give the offering.
Sister, witness the prosperity of your sons and grandsons
and live happily.
Thank you!
Son Dharmaja, come and take the blessing of your aunt.
Mother, Dharmaja along with his brothers greet you.
May you live long! May you live long!
-Son Dharmaja... -Mother...
You are the most eligible one in all means, to be the prince.
You will get that post very soon.
May the good prevail.
Today is such an auspicious day.
Grandfather, I have a small request in this auspicious moment.
Could you get brother Suyodhana and uncle Sakuni released from the jail?
[chuckles] Sure... Sure!
Narayana Narayana!
[chanting coronation verses]
Krishna, all of this is your blessing.
