Either live in 'mrityuloka'
as my devotees for seven lifetimes
or be my enemy
for the next three lifetimes.
Only then will you be able to return to Vaikuntha!
The choice is yours.
[dramatic music playing]
Lord, we can't be estranged
from You for seven lifetimes.
We choose to be Your enemy for three lifetimes
and then come back here.
Jaya, you readily agreed to be my enemy!
There are two reasons.
The first reason is that our lifetimes will end soon
if we are against You.
Secondly, a devotee
might forget his God for a moment
but not their enemy.
One doesn't forget their enemy ever.
We'll remember You every moment.
We have just one request.
We want to die at Your hands in all three lifetimes.
We will get a glimpse of You
in every lifetime before we die.
Yes, Lord.
We want to attain liberation at Your hands.
Jaya and Vijaya,
please get up.
Even your enmity has hidden love for me.
I'm not being distanced from two devotees
but from my soul.
I promise both of you
that I'll liberate you in all three of your lifetimes
in 'mrityuloka'!
Additionally,
you will be the cause of Lakshmi and Narayana's grief.
They will be united after your death.
- [conch-shell playing] - [joyful music playing]
'Jaya and Vijaya were born'
'as Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashipu in their last lifetime.'
They were liberated at Narayana's hands.
Please stop.
Why are you narrating this story to me only now?
Goddess, please recall.
You had asked me,
"Why didn't Hanuman kill Kumbhakarna?"
- [conch-shell playing] - [bells clanging]
'You are fortunate'
'because you won't die at my hands!'
'You will die at the hands of my Lord Shri Rama!'
'I won't mess with destiny!'
Vijaya was born
as Kumbhakarna in this lifetime.
As promised,
he was liberated
by the human avatar of Narayana, Lord Shri Rama.
Shri Rama's sworn enemy,
my ardent devotee, the king of Lanka, Ravana,
is the reincarnation of Jaya.
Now it's time
for the destruction of evil,
the establishment of decorum,
and the triumph of righteousness in this lifetime.
[bell clanging]
[theme song playing]
[flag flapping]
[anklets chiming]
I'm amazed. I couldn't be victorious
because of you.
My 'yajna' was disrupted
because of your betrayal.
You literally gifted my victory
to the enemy.
Now you are feigning
by offering to apply tilak of victory on my forehead.
Lankesh, I have always tried to make you understand.
I tried to stop you many times.
I can't even imagine wishing you any harm.
If I see
even a ray of hope today,
I'll try to stop you.
It's my duty.
Mandodari, your definition of duty is incomplete.
I'll fulfil my duty as a king,
as a brother, as a husband,
and as a warrior!
Every warrior of Lanka
who was martyred
won't go in vain.
I'll bring fame to their deaths.
So please don't put on an act.
It's not an act.
It's your and my decorum.
Your eyes clearly show
that you wish victory not for me, Ravana,
but for another person.
I'll pray
that you attain peace.
It's my bad luck
that my loved ones always betray me.
We can't see a wounded heart,
but the pain is unbearable.
On one hand is Rama,
who is trusted by his brother
and wife.
On the other hand is me, Ravana,
whose brother Vibhishana
betrayed Lanka and destroyed it.
You are someone
who doesn't trust her husband.
Though you are standing before your husband,
your eyes
show devotion towards the so-called Narayana.
[smirking]
However, you are applying tilak
on Ravana's forehead.
I have fought every war alone since childhood!
Even today, I'll fight this war
against Rama and his monkey army alone.
I'll decide the fate of this war.
Lankesh, I'm the unfortunate one.
First, I lost all my sons one by one.
Today, I'm going to lose you.
You are standing before me, Ravana,
who has been granted a boon by Lord Brahma!
I'm considered His ardent devotee by Mahadeva
and a human, the so-called avatar of Narayana,
has come to slay me.
Please don't worry.
That child won't be able to kill me, the king of rakshasas.
I promised Mahadeva
that I'd do His 'arti' with the ashes of his pyre.
Please wait for me.
I'll meet you soon.
Hail Mahadeva!
Lankesh!
[suspenseful music playing]
[wind whooshing]
'The lord of ten lokas,'
'the king of Lanka, Dashanan, Ravana,'
'is arriving!'
[sinister music plays]
[Sanskrit mantra chanting]
[dramatic music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
I'm going to end this difficult war.
[sinister music plays]
Do you know something?
It started in a strange manner.
[intense music plays]
There was a child, who was Shiva's devotee.
He was betrayed by time,
destiny, circumstances, and his father.
He resolved
to obtain everything
with endeavour or by force.
He was successful.
He became the greatest and the most powerful king of the three lokas.
[sinister music plays]
He also became Mahadeva's ardent devotee.
After some time, a king organised a 'svayamvara'
for his daughter in the faraway north.
The condition
was to pick up Mahadeva's sacred bow, Pinaka.
All the kings were invited
except that ardent devotee of Mahadeva.
He couldn't bear this insult.
So he went to the 'svayamvara' uninvited.
His only intention
was to obtain Mahadeva's sacred bow
and bring it to Lanka.
But then
his eyes
fell upon that girl.
Unbeknownst,
he forgot about getting hold of Pinaka
and became intent on getting hold of that girl.
What happened next
was unbelievable.
The one who moved Mount Kailash along with Kailashpati
couldn't pick up that bow.
If he wanted,
he would have abducted
that girl back then.
But he didn't.
He went back
and pacified himself.
Maybe his desire to possess that girl
grew stronger than his devotion to Mahadeva,
and he deserved punishment.
So he distanced himself from that girl.
But as time went by
Lankesh was reminded
of that girl
once again.
His old wound of failure
was reopened.
He was reminded of his unfulfilled wish
of obtaining Pinaka and his regret
over losing that girl.
The whole world knows what happened next.
[suspenseful music playing]
But today I realise
that everything that happened
was a plot.
The 'svayamvara', the bow, and that girl.
You, Sita.
Everything was a pretext.
Shiva's bow wasn't supposed to be picked up.
In fact, the plan was to insult me, an ardent devotee of Shiva.
[dramatic music playing]
They wanted to belittle my devotion.
The deities plotted against me.
However, the deities aren't aware
that I'm Lankesh, Dashanan, Ravana!
[thunder cracking]
I'll enter the battlefield alone
to fight against Rama and his monkey army!
I'll revere my Mahadeva
with the ashes of Rama's pyre!
[intense music plays]
Dashanan,
we recall our past life during our last moments.
A person realises
his mistakes and sins during the last moments.
However, regretfully,
you haven't realised your mistakes yet.
Wait and watch. My Shri Rama will surely remind you
of your mistakes before your death.
Goodness and evil,
and this last war between righteousness and unrighteousness...
[dramatic music playing]
Righteousness will win!
[conch-shell playing]
The truth will be victorious!
The war between righteousness, unrighteousness, sin, and virtue
is infinitely vast!
[dramatic music playing]
'The truth and illusion'
'could never be distinguished.'
'They blamed the darkness'
'and called the sun a god.'
'The cool night is over.'
'Wake up, it's time to act.'
'The unrighteousness has been burned away.'
'You termed it injustice.'
'Sacrifice the so-called injustice.'
'The sacred 'yajna' of your duty is ready.'
[motivational song playing]
'You have always been selfish.'
'You plotted in the garb of justice and righteousness.'
'You even deceived Lord Shiva by offering Him poison'
'and drank the elixir yourself.'
'Everything that suits you is termed justice by you.'
'Everything else is considered injustice.'
'The blood oozing out after your blow'
'gave birth to this great weapon of injustice.'

[Sanskrit mantra chanting]
"Ravana! Ravana!"
Are you surprised
to see Ravana
confronting you without a shield?
The deities must have conspired to snatch
all my armour and shields!
You conspired against my power, strength, my sons,
and my brothers, and destroyed them all!
[dramatic music playing]
And then
Ravana will be slayed!
Did you accomplish your conspiracy?
It's not easy
to finish off Ravana!
[dramatic music playing]
It seems those deities don't remember
that I'm Dashanan,
who conquered Lanka with my strength!
[dramatic music playing]
I ruled the ten lokas as a king!
I didn't require a shield
or an armour!
Deities, can you hear me?
I'm rakshasa, the king of rakshasas!
I'm Ravana!
"Ravana! Ravana!"
I don't need a shield or an armour!
I'm invincible!
- [bells clanging] - [drums beating]
Nobody can kill me!
[intense music plays]
Henceforth,
I'll let only one culture exist.
Rakshasa culture!
There is going to be
just one mantra of victory!
"We protect!"
[intense music plays]
"Ravana! Ravana!"
