Lord, it's the right time
for me to return your keepsake.
You gave it to me during Sita's 'svayamvara'.
Lord Parashurama's bow, Sharanga.
You'll need it in the upcoming war.
[conch-shell playing]
[song playing]
Hail Shri Rama!
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!
Hail Shri Rama!
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!
[conch-shell playing]
[song playing]
Lord, our army toiled
and gathered boulders of all sizes in our vicinity.
We'll begin constructing the bridge at dawn
with your blessings.
We'll invade Lanka soon.

Hanuman, I'm scared
that Ravana's spies could have sneaked into our camp.
Why, Vibhishana?
All of them are vanaras.
Hanuman,
many deceptive asuras in Ravana's army
are adept at changing appearance.
Earlier today, I saw two parrots.
You have attained eight siddhis.
You can take any form.
Please resolve my doubt.
Hmm.
Hail Shri Rama!
[eagle screeching]
It appears to be an ordinary bird.
Where will I find the parrots
whom Lord Vibhishana doubts?
[sweeping music playing]
To spy on vanaras,
I must look like a vanara.
[suspenseful music playing]
[explosion]
His strength is extraordinary.
I must test the strength of other vanaras too.
Lankesh will be appeased by the information I give him.
'Who is he?'
[straining]
The one who wields such a heavy mace
must be unimaginably heavy.
[parrot squawking]
Sarang is signalling.
I must leave.
Who are you?
Lord, I'm one of the vanaras in your army.
I know for sure you aren't a vanara.
Take your original form or else, I'll kill you right away!
[straining]
Oh! So you are a guest.
Let's welcome you.
[intense music plays]
King of vanaras,
it will take more than ten days to cross an 800-mile-wide ocean.
Take him to Lord Shri Rama.
We needn't take him there. Kill him!
Hanuman, what's the matter?
Lord, this rakshasa spy was sneaking into our tent.
Hanuman, why did you bring him here?
You should have killed him!
King Sugriva, please have mercy.
I'm not a spy.
Your Majesty, I'm a messenger. Yes, a messenger.
I brought you King Ravana's message.
For me? Why?
Actually, it's a king's message for another king.
What is Ravana's message?
King Ravana said,
"Sugriva, you are brave.
You are as powerful as your brother Vali.
You belong to an affluent family.
Then why are you wandering along with this forest dweller?"
[sinister music plays]
"The king of vanaras
shouldn't roam forests.
Please go back to your kingdom
and enjoy its opulence."
Lankesh said
that one must befriend a person of equal status.
"You are a king.
So please accept the friendship of Lanka's king
and let go of this forest dweller."
Lankesh promises
to protect you and your subjects.
He'll make sure Kishkindha always prospers
and you are never harmed.
And you never lose your brilliance.
Quiet!
I thought Ravana was intelligent!
However, he proved that he is a fool!
If your omniscient king
had some brains and a sense of justice,
he wouldn't have kidnapped Mother Sita
to become the enemy of Lord Shri Rama!
What did he think?
Wouldn't I be able to read between the lines?
Won't I understand his deceit?
It isn't a message but proof of Ravana's fear.
I, Sugriva, am Vali's brother
but I follow righteousness.
I'll return home
only after Shri Rama achieves his goal.
I followed his advice even before I heard it.
I befriended someone
who is the epitome of faith! Shri Rama!
I'll never forsake Shri Rama
and join hands with the deceitful Ravana!
Lord, he must be punished by you!
Yes! He is a spy and he must be killed!
Yes, kill him!
[groaning]
- Kill him! - Kill him!
[screaming]
No, my friend.
It's not righteous to attack a messenger.
We aren't rakshasas.
Get up.
[theme music playing]
Lord,
I know my brother Ravana and his deceitful ways.
He is Shuk,
Lanka's most promising spy.
He is here to weigh the strength of our army
but he was ordered
to act as a messenger after getting caught.
Lord, please don't fall prey to his ploy.
Irrespective of Ravana's ploys,
I can't flout decorum.
If he says he is a messenger,
I'll consider him a messenger.
You brought your lord's message
so please deliver my message too!
Mother, did you call me?
Son, I was waiting for you.
Is it true?
Did the spy Shuk who went to spy on Rama's army, get caught?
Please don't tell me
that you're worried about a spy.
No, Meghanada.
I'm worried about something else.
I hope it's not true.
What are you worried about? Please tell me.
Vibhishana told me
that Rama is Lord Vishnu's avatar.
Mother, he also said
that Narayana would protect him.
The truth is
Uncle is weak.
Weak people imagine things.
We can't trust a person
who backstabbed us.
He said that to demoralise the soldiers of Lanka.
Meghanada, I hope it's true.
However, what if Vibhishana
was telling the truth?
What if Rama is Lord Vishnu's avatar?
Son, how will we win against Narayana?
Will our lineage...
Will our lineage be spared alive?
Mother, please come with me.
Here you are.
Please have some water.
Mother, I understand your pain.
After Akshayakumara's death,
you have become fearful.
And your fear
is increasing your worry.
But please don't forget
that your Meghanada is still alive.
I won't let our rakshasa clan be harmed.
Please be rest assured.
Forgive me, Prince.
His Majesty called upon you.
[suspenseful music playing]
Come in, son.
Look, our brave spy Shuk
has returned.
I'm scared to hear
about Rama's power all alone.
Let's hear
about his experience in the camp of vanaras.
Shuk, please tell us.
How did you mess up
and got caught?
Answer me!
Your Majesty,
I was trying to get information about the strength,
weaponry and arms of the vanara army.
I don't know how Vanara Hanuman doubted me
and he captured me.
And then did he welcome you?
Answer!
Your Majesty, he dragged me away and presented me to Sugriva.
Vibhishana was also present there.
As per your suggestion, I said I'm your messenger.
I delivered your message to Sugriva.
However, he rejected your proposal!
Your Majesty, they wanted to kill me.
Everyone present there wanted to kill me.
- But... - But you came back alive.
You returned without a scratch.
I'm curious to know how this happened.
I never imagined it.
It wouldn't have ever happened in Lanka.
I was spared alive.
I was granted impunity
by Shri Rama.
[intense music plays]
What did Rama do?
'You are here to know'
'about the strengths and weaknesses of our army, right?'
'You want to convey it to your lord.'
'I'll help you.'
[theme song playing]
Subsequently,
he took me to the centre of the encampment.
'Look.'
'Our armoury is in the north.'
'Vanaras have stored maces'
'and boulders inside it.'
'Our army doesn't own deceptive arms like Lanka.'
'The small mound'
'in the east'
'is our pantry.'
'We don't have'
'enough food and water to last for years, like Lanka.'
[dramatic music playing]
'We have tents'
'in the west but they aren't good enough.'
'They aren't safe from rains'
'or are strong like the camps in Lanka.'
'Also, the size of our vanara army is smaller.'
[dramatic music playing]
'We can't do deceptive wars.'
'Everything we have'
'is far less than Lanka.'
If he can't match the strength of Lanka,
on what basis does he want to fight with us?
Does he own anything greater than Lanka?
"Ravana! Ravana!"
'Let me tell you what we possess.'
'Look into the eyes of the vanaras.'
[dramatic music playing]
'They look hopeful'
'and determined to win.'
'They also have the fire to be freed from mistreatment.'
[song playing]
'We don't own arms but a vow.'
'We may lack resources,'
'but we are intolerant towards injustice.'
'And we are confident'
'that we are following righteousness.'
'We possess'
'food, water, and other resources for just 20 days.'
'Do you know why? Because we are sure'
'that we'll build a bridge to Lanka within 20 days'
'and punish Ravana for his sin!'
[motivational song playing]
'Within 20 days,'
'I'll free my Sita and bring her back!'
'- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!'
'Hail Shri Rama! Hail Shri Rama!'
Then he enlightened me about warfare tactics.
I never imagined
that somebody could think this way about warfare.
'Tell your lord'
'to get ready for his defeat.'
'This war won't be fought with arms'
'but with the strength of truth!'
'Plotting won't help you win'
'but unity!'
'We don't own celestial Pushpaka Vimana'
'to cross the ocean'
'but we have the strength of determination!'
'It will help us build a bridge to reach Ravana'
'and destroy him!'
