Trijata, our 14-year exile
is about to end.
Shri Rama may try his best
but he can't defeat Lankesh so soon.
How will all of you
reach Ayodhya before Amavasya?
Wait and watch, Trijata.
My Shri Rama will soon find a solution.
I will
pray to Goddess Gauri
to keep my Shri Rama safe.
[conch-shell playing]
Physically
and mentally as well.
My Shri Rama must be in extreme pain,
unable to meet me
even though he is near, as he is bound by decorum.
[suspenseful music playing]
Revenge!
I want revenge.
I want to kill both the forest dwellers!
[Meghanada straining]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Meghanada grunting]
One must have faith
to remain vengeful.
One shouldn't act weak.
Recall
your real identity.
Whose son are you?
[dramatic music playing]
You promised me
that you'll kill both the forest dwellers.
Now get up and fulfil your promise!
Just like a warrior!
Lankesh!
Lankesh, my son is wounded.
The wounds inflicted on a warrior during battle are like adornments.
They don't limit him.
Those forest dwellers began the war.
However, we'll end it.
Get up, Meghanada.
Fulfil your promise.
Go and ensure
the death of your enemy.
Come on!
Lankesh, is your lust for another man's woman
bigger than your son's life?
Meghanada doesn't need to come back to his senses,
but you.
You are so overcome by vengeance and denial
that you are pushing my son towards death a second time!
You are his father!
Lankesh, show some mercy!
Quiet!
Don't speak.
A warrior doesn't need mercy
but direction.
The rakshasa lying unconscious here
isn't ordinary.
He is my son, Indrajit!
He is the boon I earned after tough penance.
His valour can't wear off so soon.
He is the prince of Lanka!
Let him fulfil his duty.
The enemies of Lanka
are waiting for us!
My Meghanada will confront them.
Get up, Meghanada!
You have rested enough!
Now you must fight and kill!
Use your efforts and blows!
We protect!
We protect.
In that case,
Lankesh, sacrifice me first
as part of your vengeance before sending my son away!
Because I, a mother,
will neither let you have your way
nor allow my son to leave.
The person in front of me
isn't the prince of Lanka
but my son!
I nurtured him in my womb.
I nourished him with my blood, Lankesh!
I won't let him bleed
any longer.
I gave birth to him.
And I won't let him die
until I'm alive.
If Meghanada goes to war again,
he must pass over my dead body!

[vocalising]
[song playing]
Mother, please forgive me,
but your son is a valorous warrior.
I defeated Lord Indra.
I can't accept my defeat
from a lowly forest dweller.
Meghanada, he isn't a forest dweller, but Narayana.
My Narayana
is only my father.
My aim is to protect his honour.
Meghanada, you are wounded.
The treatment of my wounds
is the blood of that forest dweller.
- Meghanada... - It'll help me recover.
[grumbling]
That forest dweller
is standing on the battlefield
without any treatment by a physician.
I expected you
to act courageously like this.
Father, it's time
for me to fulfil your wish.
I must end this war once and for all.
Just give me your permission.
Meghanada, you have my permission.
But first, venerate the banyan tree
as per Lord Brahma's boon.
After that,
go into the cave of Mother Nikumbala.
Perform a ritual.
Regain that chariot.
The chariot that makes you invincible and immortal.
And then go and punish that forest dweller and the monkeys
for their insolence.
Son, please be mindful that we are rakshasas.
We get a boon
only after tough penance.
- Meghanada! - Mandodari, stop right there!
This conversation was between a father and a son.
And between a king and a prince.
Please don't interfere.
All of you are my, Rama's, shield
in this war against injustice.
All of you strengthened me whenever I faltered.
We have been patient,
righteous, and have followed decorum.
But our enemy flouted all rules.
They have been unrighteous all through.
My warrior vanaras,
all of you acted as my shield till now.
However, it's time
for my shield to turn into my weapon.
All of you must render our enemy powerless.
Asuras used all kinds of tactics
but it's time
to showcase the combined strength of humans and vanaras!
The representatives of Lanka
are challenging us, warrior vanaras.
It's time to shatter the arrogance of Lanka.
It's time to burn down the image of the golden Lanka.
We must barge into the impenetrable Lanka.
They left every family in this world insecure.
We must kill
those deceptive rakshasas
in their town, inside their houses!
[theme song playing]
Every vanara present here
has the strength of an entire army.
You just need to realise your capability.
Use all your power
to achieve your target.
Today, my vanara army
will come together
to attack,
and Lanka will shudder upon hearing their footsteps.
We'll cross the boundary of Lanka and attack!
[motivational music playing]
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!
Lankesh, a mother always stands between the father and the son.
Also, a queen
has the right to intervene between the prince
and the king.
Lankesh, why don't you understand?
You are fighting against Lord Vishnu Himself!
Lankesh, he is Narayana!
There's only one answer to your fear.
Just one.
The death of the so-called Vishnu!
Mother.
[pensive music playing]
I honour your love for your son.
Mother, your fear and worry
are weakening your husband and your son.
So please don't
become a hurdle.
I'll enter the Nikumbala Cave right away
and complete my 'puja'.
And then...
What, son?
Is there a way or a 'puja'
to defeat Narayana?
Meghanada!
Please don't be blinded by your love for your father!
Please don't deny the truth.
Mother, you are in denial.
I finished off Rama and Lakshmana
with my first blow.
You call Rama the avatar of Narayana,
but I made him unconscious
with the help of my Nagpash.
Mother, he isn't Narayana.
He is a lowly human.
He escaped the last time,
but this time I'll complete my 'puja'
and attack them
so that both the humans
and the so-called Narayana die.
Meghanada! You can't leave, Meghanada.
Mother.
Why don't you understand?
Being Lanka's prince,
it's my duty to protect Lanka.
Mother, please strengthen me with your determination.
Don't weaken me with your affection.
Let me
fulfil my duty.
[suspenseful music playing]
May you become victorious.
[dramatic music playing]
Meghanada.
Meghanada, hear me out!
Meghanada,
try to understand my point.
[suspenseful music playing]
[motivational song playing]
[arrows swishing]
Lord, what happened?
Why did you stop suddenly?
[suspenseful music playing]
Rama, let's go.
Hanuman, I can't enter Lanka!
[suspenseful music playing]
I can break through Lanka's gate,
but I won't compromise my ethics.
What ethics, Rama?
Was Ravana ethical?
Then why are you worried about it?
If I flout the decorum
like Ravana,
then we will be considered the same, Lakshmana.
It's the age-old custom of Raghukul
to fulfil our promises even at the cost of our lives.
I can't break Raghukul's decorum
and the promise given to my father and my mothers.
'Leave Ayodhya immediately'
'and go into exile'
'for 14 years.'
'I, your son, will fulfil your wish'
'and my father's promise.'
Rama,
nobody from Ayodhya or Raghukul is present here
to question your action.
But, Lakshmana, I'm present here.
Wouldn't my heart and conscience question me?
Will I be able
to look myself in the eye when I see my reflection?
Will I be able to help
my younger brother choose between right and wrong?
Will I be able to justify the trust
of the people who trusted me
and sacrificed their lives for me?
Lakshmana, I'm a forest dweller,
and I'm banished from my kingdom.
A forest dweller
can't enter a town or a stranger's house.
Lakshmana, we are fighting this war righteously.
It is being fought to uphold righteousness.
Then how could I break the promise I made?
Entering Lanka is out of the question for me!
