I, Commander Lakshmana,
am here to carry out the king's command.
[suspenseful music playing]
Your Majesty,
please allow me
to take Queen Sita to the forest!
[thunder cracking]
You can't leave.
Rama changed his decision.
Neither Sita nor you will leave.
[tense music plays]
Rama, please tell them your new decision!
Open the door, Rama!
Rama!
[thunder cracking]
[dramatic music playing]
Rama!
[dramatic music playing]
Rama, please change your command.
- I'm waiting... - Lakshmana, King Rama's order is final!
Please drop off Sita outside Ayodhya, in the forest!
[thunder breaking]
That can't be true.
Rama, please don't do that.
Please don't be unjust.
Rama, the Raghuvansha lineage won't be able to stand it.
Please don't do that.
[dramatic music playing]
I'll follow your command, Your Majesty!
[dramatic music playing]
Rama... Rama, please don't allow this to happen!
Rama! Rama!
Rama!
[dramatic music playing]
Rama's decision
can be changed
by just one person.
[dramatic music playing]
[thunder rumbling]
[melancholic song playing]
Please forgive me, Sita.
[mellow music playing]
You stood by me every step of the way,
but now you'll have to embark on this journey
all alone!
[thunder breaking]
Lord, I, Sita, can never be alone.
You might be away from me
but your mind
and soul
will always be with me.
[melancholic song playing]
[theme song playing]
[theme song continues playing]
Only you can stop Rama.
Please
stop him from sinning.
Please stop him.
Please don't allow him to commit this sin.
Why aren't you opening your eyes
even after hearing this bitter truth?
Rajguru, please don't allow
this catastrophe to occur.
Please stop it.
[dramatic music playing]
Queen Mother,
even though I'm Rama's guru,
I can't compel him to change a decision.
This decision
is made by the king of Ayodhya.
And his command
is based on his fatherly duties,
not his duty as a husband.
A king treats his subjects like children.
He sacrificed
for his children.
It's a tough phase.
Please be Rama's strength.
Devi, please don't question
his decisions.
[dramatic music playing]
Many years ago,
I asked for some boons.
My selfishness
blinded me.
So, I should endure
this pain,
not my Sita.
Not my Sita!
Your Highness, please don't forget
Rama's words.
You were merely a medium.
Everything was predestined.
We are all
playing our roles.
Commitment is like a flowing river.
It chooses the right path
instead of a smooth one.
It doesn't matter how tough that path is.
Rama and Sita
must endure this pain.
[sobbing]
[song playing]
[melancholic song playing]
'I promise'
'to take care of you and our family.'
'I'll consult you before making'
'any decision in my life.'
'If your duty'
'or you are in a problem,'
'I won't hesitate'
'to sacrifice my life to protect you.'
Sita!
[thunder breaking]
[song playing]
Mother Sita, it's a long and arduous journey.
Rama's path
is never easy.
[vocalising]
O, Lord,
please give strength to my Shri Rama.
[dramatic music playing]
[hinges creaking]
[song playing]
[conch-shell playing]
Mother, shall I proceed?
It's time.
[mellow music playing]
It was destined.
Lakshmana, it's God's wish.
Please proceed.
The forest is waiting for me.
[vocalising]
- [whip lashing] - [horses neighing]
[Chaupai playing]
[Chaupai fades out]
[melancholic song playing]
Shri Rama!
[thunder cracking]
[poignant music playing]
[song playing]
Sita!
[song playing]
'Lord, this is the only solution.'
'- Please abandon me. - No, Sita.'
'Sita, it's impossible.'
'It's impossible.'
'We renounce our wealth.'
'Sita, a wife is not a property.'
'A person severs a body part'
'and offers it as an oblation.'
[gloomy music playing]
'Sita, you are not like a body part'
'that serves a special purpose in my life.'
'Tvamsi me hridayam dwityam.'
'You are like my second heart.'
'Tvam jeevitam mam.'
'Sita, you're my life.'
'How can I renounce my life?'
'Sita, how do I let go of my heart?'
'If it happens, I won't be myself.'
[melancholic music playing]
'Sita, I, Rama, can't endure such grief.'
'Your Rama can't bear such excruciating pain!'
'My Shri Rama can only do it!'
'My Shri Rama'
'can pierce his heart'
'and use that blood'
'to cultivate peace and idealism.'
'Only my Shri Rama can do that.'
'Only my Shri Rama can sacrifice his life'
'and redefine'
'life itself.'
'Lord, ordinary people'
'are overcome by emotions.'
'But my Shri Rama'
'can overcome those emotions'
'and all the challenges in the universe.'
[melancholic song playing]
[song fades out]
'Lord, please remember.'
'You told me something'
'while getting ready for your coronation.'
'The one who renounces life'
'is called a sage.'
'Only a sage'
'can become a king'
'because ruling a kingdom is not a right'
'but a responsibility.'
'A patient,'
'responsible person,'
'someone'
'as determined as the roots of a tree,'
'and as strong-minded as can be.'
'God gives such a person the opportunity'
'to become a king.'
'You have been entrusted'
'with the responsibility of fulfilling God's purpose.'
'Then why are you disillusioned by worldly attachments?'
'If a tree falls'
'because of a branch,'
'how will the animals, birds,'
'and travellers survive'
'in the absence of the tree?'
[song playing]
'The descendant of Ikshvaku lineage'
'won't be attached'
'or saddened!'
'They should work'
'for the betterment of society!'
[song playing]
[footsteps approaching]
- [whip lashing] - [horses neighing]
Everyone can leave.
[suspenseful music playing]
[horses neighing]
Move forward!
Come on!
Why aren't my horses following my order?
Move ahead!
Lakshmana, horses can read a charioteer's mind.
They are restless
because the charioteer is restless.
Charioteer, please be strong.
Then the horses will surely follow your command.
[dramatic music playing]
[wind whooshing]
Mother Sita, shall I ask you a question?
Why did you accept this injustice?
Lakshmana, an injustice
makes us complain.
However, I followed his command.
There's no injustice.
It isn't injustice.
[melancholic music playing]
It's the next chapter of my life.
It's a journey
I must undertake alone.
[Chaupai playing]
