Mother...
- Mother! - Indrajit!
Rama!
Rama.
[Hanuman wailing]
'It's time for Bhumija, born from the earth,'
'to go back inside it!'
[Hanuman wailing]
'Sita's death'
'will end the resolve and the goal'
'which kept Rama going.'
[Hanuman whimpering]
Mother!

My Indrajit's vow
is unbeatable.
How does it feel
after sitting on the most powerful throne in the world?
I knew
you had the ability to make the impossible possible.
You deserve this throne.
Father, you were right.
I scared them so much
that Rama and his army lost their hope
and their vision to achieve their goal.
It's not the time to scare them, but to challenge them.
Rama and his vanara army are weakened
mentally and physically.
We can easily defeat them.
Enter Goddess Nikumbala's cave again
and complete your ritual.
Pray for a weapon
that finishes off
Rama and his vanara army in a single blow.
Father, please be rest assured.
I, your son, will finish off
Rama and his army.
"Ravana! Ravana!"
Now I know your real identity.
Now I'm sure
that you have taken after your father.
Indrajit, you have taken after Lankesh!
You aren't my Meghanada.
You aren't!
Mandodari!
[intriguing music plays]
Don't you know
where you are standing?
What do you want to say?
Lankesh, today I have realised
that your son can also flout decorum like you
to register victory!
You shouldn't cross the line
and become a hurdle on my son's path
to victory.
Why wouldn't I when I know
that I'm looking at my son for the last time?
Mandodari, let me remind you
that you are a mother!
If you can't bless your son to be victorious,
then please don't curse him.
Anyway, Indrajit doesn't need your blessing.
Go on, son. I don't know about others,
but I trust you completely.
You'll compel Rama and his monkey army to bite the dust
yet again.
Go and complete your invocation.
May you become victorious.
Meghanada!
[mellow music playing]
It's not true. It's a lie.
It is an illusion.
Lord, she wasn't Mother Sita.
It was deception.
Lord, you rightly said
that Indrajit, who venerates a Goddess shouldn't have done this.
I'm his uncle.
I know him inside out.
Indrajit can never
pull a woman by her hair,
let alone slay her, Lord.
Vibhishana, you seem to be delusional.
That evil rakshasa is Ravana's son.
He could easily commit a lowly act.
All of us noticed its proof on the battlefield.
Vibhishana, even I want to believe
that it was an illusion.
But how can we deny this truth?
Earlier, I wondered how it could be true.
"It's certainly deception." But...
But Mother Sita's voice...
After hearing Mother Sita's voice, I'm sure
that Indrajit committed this sin for real!
[Lakshmana sobbing]
Lakshmana, Indrajit used deception
to imitate Mother Sita's appearance
as well as her body language and mannerisms.
Lord, just think about it.
Ravana sacrificed
his great warriors,
his brother,
and even his son.
Would he suddenly
let go of Sita?
No, Lord.
I have known my brother since childhood.
Ravana could die
but he won't let Mother Sita get hurt.
Lord, it was merely deception. Nothing more than that.
Sita!
What's the matter?
I don't know.
Trijata, I overheard Hanuman crying
and calling out my name.
Trijata, I can sense
Shri Rama's pain.
I'm sure something untoward has happened.
'You are right!'
That vanara screamed
out of pain because they saw you dying.
Mother Sita is dead to the vanara army,
to Lakshmana,
and to Rama as well.
Meghanada beheaded an illusory Sita
in front of everyone.
Sita!
My Shri Rama must be in extreme pain
after witnessing this incident.
[melancholic music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
But I'm confident
that my Shri Rama knows
what he saw
isn't true.
I'm telling the truth.
Lord, you know that.
Lord.
Please say
that it wasn't true. It was deception.
Lord, please say that it was an illusion.
Yes, Rama.
Whenever we were trapped by deception,
you guided us through it.
Do you remember?
When Tataka's sons, Maricha and Subahu
tried to deceive us by taking the appearance of our mother,
you saw through their deception.
'Rama!'
Rama, you countered every deception Indrajit used.
I'm confident that this time also,
you must have identified his deception.
Rama, please speak up.
Please say that it was just an illusion.
Lord, you are our strength and power.
If you break down,
we'll be discouraged.
Lord, please say something.
Please tell everyone the truth.
It was deception!
[theme song playing]
Lankesh, your lowly act today,
and the sin committed by Meghanada,
have made me fear
that Vasuki's curse might become a reality!
'I, Serpent King Vasuki, curse you'
'to die by your father's command,'
'just as my subjects'
'are dying by your father's orders today!'
A scared woman
will surely speak caustic words.
My act isn't lowly because it's a strategy.
Vibhishana is the one
acting lowly with the warriors of Lanka.
Lankesh, you commanded Meghanada to commit a sin
even though it was deception.
He committed the grave sin
of murdering the image of a woman!
I'm afraid your next order...
Lankesh, your next command could bring about his end!
[dramatic music playing]
Yes, it was deception.
But it was intolerable to see my Sita
at the receiving end of someone's vengeance.
Lord, I'll destroy the one
who caused you and all of us to suffer
right away.
I'll finish him off.
[motivational music playing]
Hanuman, you are right!
His end is important!
Indrajit ensured his death because of his bad karma!
According to the rules in the scriptures,
the misuse of deception
caused him to lose his boons and virtues!
Indrajit is no longer invincible!
So, Lord, let me be the lucky one to kill him.
No, Lord. I'll punish that insolent rakshasa.
Lord, we want to make Meghanada suffer
the way he made us suffer!
Calm down.
Use your anger as your strength,
not weakness.
It shouldn't lessen come what may.
This feeling will give us strength
to face Indrajit.
Rama, anger and disgust
are seething inside me like fire!
Rama, please command
and let the fire in me
burn down Indrajit to ashes.
Rama, let your younger brother punish that insolent rakshasa.
This is known as true love.
Shri Rama knew that it was a deceptive Sita.
But still, he was pained
to see the pain and insult of the illusory Sita.
Goddess, it was a given.
If someone we truly love
gets hurt,
we'll surely be hurt.
This is why this illusory incident
hurt him like a real one.
And this truth will ensure Meghanada's end!
It could be deceptive,
but dishonouring a woman
is an unpardonable crime.
It's a sin.
Goddess, it's time
for the end of Ravana's prowess, as he tried to weaken Shri Rama!
His favourite
and the most powerful weapon,
his son Meghanada,
will be snatched from him!
It's time for Ravana's arrogance
to be crushed under Shri Rama's victory chariot.
'Lankesh, you ordered Meghanada to commit a sin.'
'It has made me fear'
'that Vasuki's curse might become a reality!'
Kumbha!
As far as I know Ravana,
it was his plan.
First, he sent Indrajit to demoralise us.
Now he will attack us again
to demoralise us entirely.
He must have sent Indrajit to his next mission.
You are right, Lord.
I'm sure, Indrajit
must be invoking Goddess Nikumbala.
[mantra chanting]
Lord, we are short of time.
If he completes his invocation,
he will be invincible
as per Lord Brahma's boon.
He could employ a different kind of deception
and attack us with a new weapon this time.
We must stop his invocation.
We must disrupt his ritual.
However, disrupting a 'puja'
and causing problems is unrighteous.
It's an unethical karma.
Rama, you are thinking this, right?
Rama, we have been fighting
this war ethically till now.
But when the enemy doesn't refrain from unethical conduct,
should we just let them have their way?
Will we watch them flout decorum shamelessly?
Rama, he is obtaining unethical power to use against righteousness!
Indrajit's 'puja'
is obstructing our goal
and the path of righteousness in every way.
Rama, we must stop it.
Rama, his 'puja'
is meant to establish unrighteousness.
So disrupting it is ethical!
Your Majesty,
I'm yearning to avenge my father,
the powerful Kumbhakarna's murder.
My commanders and I
are ready with our weapons.
Please go
and protect the area around Goddess Nikumbala's cave.
My son Indrajit's invocation
shouldn't get disrupted.
That sinner has lost the right to invoke a Goddess.
Even the Goddess wouldn't want
this ritual to be completed.
It will be your biggest contribution
to this war.
Make sure
that my Indrajit's 'yajna' gets completed.
As you say, Your Majesty.
Lakshmana,
you said the right thing even though you are enraged.
We can't let Indrajit complete his 'yajna' this time.
[dramatic music playing]
[Meghanada chanting mantra]
[intense music plays]
Once Indrajit chants Goddess Nikumbala's hymn
and gives 108 sacrifices,
he will become invincible.
Nobody will be able to kill him in a war.
We must disrupt his 'yajna'
before he completes the sacrifices.
[Meghanada chanting mantra]
Vibhishana,
just tell me the way to reach that evil rakshasa.
You must cross three thresholds to reach him.
First, you must cross the 'preta' valley.
It is guarded by ghosts.
What is the second threshold?
It's an illusory cave.
If somebody goes there, it's like ensuring their death.
