I bow down to you, Mother Manthara.
That's enough.
May God bless you, my child.
May you always be happy.
Those who bow down
are given blessings.
Mother, we just want one blessing from you.
We don't want to miss
our Mother Kaikeyi's blessings.
Mother, please help Mother Kaikeyi overcome her guilt
and bring her to us.
Only you can end her feeling of remorse.
Until she comes out and helps us with the 'grihapravesha',
we won't step inside.
Sita,
I poisoned
Kaikeyi's mind
and ended her pious love for Rama.
I instigated
Kaikeyi to send her dear sons into exile.
Sita, I'll now help Kaikeyi overcome her guilty conscience
so that she can meet Rama joyfully.
Sita, I, Manthara, will go and open the door of her room. Yes.

[suspenseful music playing]
How dare you
come here?
Who...
Who set you free?
You poisoned my mind
and made me commit a crime.
You brought disrepute to Ayodhya,
and yet you stand before me!
[stick tapping]
"How dare I come here?"
You didn't ask me
this question
when I renounced
my family and other relationships
just to raise you
and care for you day in and day out.
I'm the unfortunate one.
I raised you like my own child,
but you consider me a culprit!
I always sheltered you with my love,
yet you're directing your anger at me in return!
Kaikeyi, what was my fault?
I'm neither Ayodhya's daughter nor a daughter-in-law.
I came here from Kekeya,
but I couldn't get accustomed
to Ayodhya like you.
This was my fault, right?
I tried to increase the clout,
reputation,
and the power of my kingdom.
That was my only mistake.
Kaikeyi, I did it only for you.
I did it for my Kekeya kingdom!
However, what has been the result of my patriotism?
Imprisonment for 14 years!
'The king declared Rama the prince'
'within a few moments of Bharata's departure!'
'Do something'
'to bring His Majesty to you.'
'Bharata will ascend to Ayodhya's throne, not Rama!'
'Send Rama to 14 years of exile.'
I don't want to listen to you!
I won't listen to you!
Get lost!
Yes, Kaikeyi.
I'll leave Ayodhya for sure.
But I'll be worried about something.
What will happen to my daughter Kaikeyi?
[sinister music plays]
Rama is back.
Wait and watch.
He will curtail your freedom
with his anger.
Kaikeyi,
please stop Rama by hook or by crook.
Otherwise, you and your Bharata...
- [screaming] - [glass clanking]
'You turned'
'my heavenly Ayodhya hellish for the love of your son!'
'I, your son, sever ties from you!'
'I, Raghukul Prince Bharata,'
'end my relationship with you, Kaikeyi!'
Even a stone changes shape
if water falls on it for years.
But you...
Your wickedness is still the same after years.
You don't need punishment!
You should be cursed!
You pushed my heavenly Ayodhya
into doom.
No. No!
You have only wished ill upon my family.
I, Kaikeyi, curse you for doing that!
Henceforth, your name
will be associated with sin, evil,
unrighteousness, and darkness!
[thunder breaking]
You'll never be associated
with happiness!
[thunder cracking]
Even after your death,
your soul will writhe in agony
due to your karma!
- I curse you! - No!
You'll be agonised forever!
[moaning]
I'm a servant, so I'll accept
everything my mistress gives me.
Kaikeyi, I'll wish you well
even as I die.
Your gain is my life's goal.
Try to understand.
Please don't welcome Rama.
If you don't perform his 'arti',
he won't enter Ayodhya.
Kaikeyi, don't allow him to be a king.
If he ascends the throne,
you'll be doomed.
Only you can
turn Rama's bright future
into darkness.
Kaikeyi, only you can stop him from becoming Ayodhya's king!
Please don't go.
Don't go!
- [kicking] - [moaning]
Manthara,
how many sins do you want me to commit?
I regret
the moment
I considered you my mother.
[intriguing music plays]
[melancholic music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
My bitter words
did something auspicious for a change.
Kaikeyi, I know you inside out.
My evil nature
compelled you to commit sins.
However, I knew
that my harsh words
would pull you out of it.
I became a culprit
in Kaikeyi's eyes
while completing
Rama's task.
O, Lord!
You already forgave me.
Lord, please have mercy on me.
Please...
Please give me a place at your feet.
Lord!
Please give me a place...

Lord, Mother Kaikeyi is here.
[joyful music playing]
Mother!
[gloomy music playing]
[melancholic song playing]
My mother's tears
are more pious than the sacred Ganges water.
Mother, your tears
have washed away the sin of killing a Brahman from my hands.
Mother, won't you bless me?
May you have a long life!
[song playing]
You don't want to show me your face.
It's okay.
But, Mother, please hear me out
while I sit at your feet.
Come with me, Mother.
[epic music plays]
[exhilarating music playing]
Please sit, Mother.
We are Raghuvanshis,
a lineage founded
on righteousness,
valour, and commitment.
The one who gave us this identity
is our great-grandfather,
King Raghu.
He was a great warrior.
Even gods vouch for his honesty and valour.
King Bhagiratha.
He went to Shiva's abode to pay obeisance to his ancestors.
He appeased Narayana so that He released the Ganga River.
Then he requested Lord Brahma
to collect it in His ewer.
He requested Mahadeva to hold the Ganga River in His locks
falling speedily from the heaven.
He dug a ditch in the ground
with his nails to bring the river
falling from Mahadeva's locks into Bharat.
Even the Indraloka is a witness
to King Dilipa's stories of righteousness.
Your husband, my father, King Nemi,
waged war in ten directions.
'He fought against Sambarasura'
'and earned the name Dasharatha.'
All my ancestors
made Raghuvansha proud across the world.
They established righteousness!
'Bharata will ascend to Ayodhya's throne, not Rama!'
'Send Rama to 14 years of exile.'
[thudding]
Mother, just think about it.
All our valorous ancestors
never considered expanding southwards.
Nobody thought of establishing righteousness there.
Mother, I got that chance.
I!
I got the chance because of you.
If you hadn't sent me to the forest,
Mother, how would Ravana be killed?
[joyful music playing]
How would righteousness and decorum be established in the world?
If it weren't for you,
Mother, this vast clan,
including my Warrior Vanaras, bears, and asuras
wouldn't have attained the knowledge of righteousness.
Mother, if it weren't for you,
the entire southern region
wouldn't have known what righteousness is.
Mother, the exile given by you
proved a boon for the entire Aryavarta.
You were the one
who confronted King Dasharatha
and sent me and my brothers to the gurukula.
Mother, you were the one who laid the foundation
of Ravana's end and the establishment of decorum.
All my friends, my aides,
my Warrior Vanaras protected me.
Mother, they didn't just come here to attend my coronation.
They didn't come here just to feast.
They are here to meet the mother
who endured 14 long years of loneliness
and sent her son to protect righteousness and society.
Your so-called crime
proved to be a boon for my Warrior Vanaras.
Mother, even after enduring disrepute,
you helped to establish decorum and righteousness in this world.
Mother, will you disappoint them?
If not me,
at least let them see you.
Mother, please reward them for their arduous journey.

[celebratory song playing]
You convinced me today
just as you did when you were a child.
[celebratory song playing]
You have fulfilled your duty in the south.
However, now my Rama
must become a king.
[mellow music playing]
You must guide
Ayodhya
and your subjects.
Rama, you must
help your lineage grow.
You must uplift
this kingdom.
- Hail Siyavar Ramchandra! - All hail!
