My coronation is about to be concluded,
but my Hanuman can't be seen.
Where is Hanuman?
[Hanuman Ashtak playing]
[dramatic music playing]

'Applying it to my forehead'
'will increase Shri Rama's age.'
'My love for him will grow,'
'and it will also help enhance his reputation.'
[theme song playing]
[theme song continues playing]
Mother, please don't worry.
I don't care if people are laughing at me
and making fun of me.
My Lord's life, his honour,
and his love for me are more important to me.
Mother, you gave me an amazing solution.
Just a pinch of 'sindoor' on your forehead
brought about such honour for my Lord.
Mother, just think about it.
Now my Lord's clout
and his love for me will increase by leaps and bounds.
Because, Mother, I smeared my entire body
with 'sindoor'.
I even covered my entire tail
with 'sindoor'.
So, Mother, please tell me
how much longer
my Lord will live because of my reddened body.
Your love, devotion,
and dedication are boundless.
They are immortal, Hanuman.
You'll have a long life.
Throughout your life,
you'll stay devoted
to Shri Rama!
[vocalising]
[devotional song playing]
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!

- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!

'The horoscope for this coronation ceremony indicates'
'that a very malevolent energy'
'will enter Ayodhya.'
[water splashing]
Rama, you neither won
nor did the war end.
The war has begun only now.
Rama, I won't attack you physically.
I'll attack your psyche.
How will you kill me then?
The elixir in Ravana's navel evaporated
but the doubts in the minds of the subjects
will never end.
How will you confront it?
Rama, how will you confront the subjects of Ayodhya?
[chortling]
[sinister music plays]
I was wrong
in seeking your help.
I begged you for vengeance!
You were a silent witness
to Rama's coronation,
the one who ended the rakshasa rule!
You lost!
[laughing]
When I face defeat,
I become more confident
about my eventual victory.
Do you know why asuras are defeated frequently?
Because they know they are powerful,
but they aren't aware of the enemy's weakness.
Rama's coronation
will prove to be his weakness.
[theme music playing]
Greetings, acharya.
Greetings, Maharishi.
King of Ayodhya, I congratulate you a million times on your coronation.
However, every good wish
is associated with a challenge.
Though you slayed sinners,
you didn't get rid of sin.
You killed Dashanan
but not his thinking.
Sinful thinking is like a doppelganger
that constantly shifts its form
and attacks us.
If I attack Rama,
he will retaliate.
I don't believe in waging war.
I believe in hurting a person a thousand times.
However, I won't hurt him.
His close ones will hurt him.
When the close ones hurt him,
he'd feel helpless
and suffer more.
- What do you mean? - I mean...
When an enemy attacks,
the victim retaliates in anger.
However, when children attack,
the victim is overwhelmed and suffocates.
Rama considers the people of Ayodhya his children.
Now his subjects will attack him.
Though he won the war against Ravana,
he won't be able to go against the people of Ayodhya.
I'll compel the people of Ayodhya
to attack him.
A struggle will start within Ayodhya
and it will ultimately lose.
I will poison the minds
of the people of Ayodhya.
Mahadeva won't be able to overcome it,
let alone Rama.
Ravana was an ardent Mahadeva devotee.
Though he was a scholar,
he inherited rakshasa genes
from rakshasa Sumali.
Shri Rama, Sumali had many sons.
They neither did penance like Ravana nor gained knowledge.
They are full of cunningness.
Forgive me, Maharishi.
Ayodhya is protected to the north by Bharata,
to the east by Lakshmana, to the west by me,
and to the south by Hanuman.
Four warriors protect Ayodhya.
Ayodhya doesn't need to fear in our presence.
Prince Shatrughna, we can protect our feet from external harm
with footwear,
but what will you do
about a boil?
If there is a fire inside the house,
closing the door won't suffice.
[dramatic music playing]
Ravana's sins ended
but not his thinking.
The upcoming catastrophe
won't wield swords or spears.
Lies, rumours,
and false criticism will be used against you.
Words will be used as a Brahmastra.
It's a rule.
If a lie is repeated
and somebody is falsely criticised repeatedly,
it appears to be true.
Humans are naturally inclined
to be drawn to lies,
even when they know the truth.
The inherent discontentment
in every person
makes this ploy lethal.
By the time they learn of my plan,
I will have already destroyed
their beautiful world.
I don't trust your plan.
It is not even the hundredth part
of Ravana's power and valour.
Plotting against Rama
instead of challenging him to a fight
won't achieve anything!
Please calm down, my dear sister.
I know you doubt my powers.
This is why you sought help
from another person.
- Who is he? - Yes.
I summoned the king of Nisthal, Bhaskarna
and his son Sanhadaman for help.
[water splashing]
- [water splashing] - [wind whooshing]
They are the soldiers of the great asura, Bhaskarna.
Please come...
Your king has been given a boon
that he can't be killed in water, air,
or on the earth.
Yes.
[chortling]
Go and fight against him.
But let me remind you
that only I, Sahastra Ravana,
can defeat Rama.
Go and carry out your plan.
[dramatic music playing]
[chuckling]
Shurpanakha,
people have always struggled
to differentiate between truth and illusion.
Different people have numerous opinions.
We can't fight with them.
[chuckling]
You may talk nonsense,
while I'll fulfil my responsibilities.
[laughing]
Maharishi, Rama's rule won't face any difficulty.
We won't let our kingdom
be discontented.
Prince, discontentment is the outcome of jealousy,
not a situation.
Shri Rama will surely try
his best to keep the kingdom happy.
However, keeping each and every person
in the kingdom happy is an arduous task.
False criticism
is not necessarily the outcome of false rumours and suspicion.
A doubting mind
secretly grows
with criticism just like grass.
It poisons our minds
before we even realise it.
This is the power of Sahastra Ravana.
Maharishi, I want to know
the future, not the discrepancies.
What does the future hold for us?
Mismanagement and misconduct.
You'll win
only after immense struggle and suffering.
The human life is full of struggles and sufferings.
I don't fear that.
Maharishi, I want to know about Ayodhya.
I'm telling you about Ayodhya's future, Your Majesty.
[dramatic music playing]
My friend,
it's rumoured that Shri Rama built a bridge over the ocean.
He made the impossible possible.
Our king is blessed by deities.
It is also rumoured that Ravana wasn't an ordinary warrior.
It's believed that the war was horrifying
and it lasted for many days.
[coughing]
God only knows!
Nobody witnessed what truly happened.
[chuckling]
Do you mean to say
that Shri Rama didn't kill Ravana?
[smirking]
Didn't he build a bridge or fought a battle?
I didn't mean that.
I never said that.
There must have been a war,
but not exactly as everyone is saying.
[suspenseful music playing]
Oceans can drown mountains.
If Ravana was really so powerful
and the lord of ten lokas,
would he have allowed Rama to build a bridge over the ocean?
Never!
Is our Raghav lying?
Oh, no. Not at all.
My friend, I never said that.
Shri Rama must have gone to Lanka
and challenged Ravana.
Then Ravana must have entered the battlefield.
And Shri Rama
must have killed him with a single arrow. Right?
Hmm.
Maybe the vanaras cooked up this story.
They must have distorted the facts!
You're absolutely right.
I'm sure the vanaras
blew everything up out of proportion.
Shri Rama is a descendant of the Raghukul lineage.
They must have hoped to bask in Shri Rama's
reflected glory.
[indistinct chatter]
[indistinct chatter continues]
[whispering]
[suspenseful music playing]
'Ridicule will soon turn into criticism'
'and then into doubt.'
'I, Sahastra Ravana, will poison every mind to instill doubt.'
'And doubt will give rise to resentment.'
'I no longer need a weapon to kill Rama.'
[chuckling]
[thudding]
What is the matter?
Why are all of you anxious?
There's a rumour going around
that we're sharing false war stories.
And that we're lying.
Why would we share false stories of Lord Shri Rama's valour?
Is your valour some cooked-up story?
This means
that sins are beginning to gain ground.
Who is spreading this false rumour?
I must find that person.
[chuckling]
