Brother Kushadhvaja,
please make arrangements
to welcome the king of Ayodhya.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty,
but why should we welcome
someone who renounced your daughter?
[melancholic vocalising]
Sita wrote me a letter.
She clearly mentioned
that the king of Ayodhya is innocent.
Back then she was still in Ayodhya.
Your Majesty, that letter is insignificant now.
Our grief matters.
We have been grief-stricken since Sita left!
[dramatic music playing]
What do all of you think?
Didn't Rama suffer the pangs
of separation?
Maybe you all don't know him.
However, I know
how dutiful and sacrificial
my son-in-law is.
The kings in Kosala Kingdom
have had multiple wives traditionally,
but
why didn't he marry again
even after so many years?
[melancholic music playing]
Why?
Did you ever wonder why Ayodhya doesn't have a queen?
Because
Rama isn't an ordinary human being.
One day
all of us will find out
the reason behind it.
But right now,
we must
get ready to welcome him.
[suspenseful music playing]
It's an order!
[dramatic music playing]
As you command.
[footsteps receding]
[joyful music playing]
[celebratory song playing]
Please move aside.
Luv, there's nobody on the chariot.
[suspenseful music playing]
[mellow music playing]
[bell clanging]
[theme song playing]
[wind whooshing]
Hail the king of Mithila!
Your Majesty, I know you were expecting Shri Rama.
However, he had a change of plans.
He will be here in a short while
but through a different route.
[drums beating]
Hey, look over there!
He is King Janaka.
Shri Rama must be with him.
[happy music playing]
I think this path
reminds you of something.
Yes, Hanuman.
This is the path that Guru Vishvamitra took
to lead us from Ayodhya to Mithila.
[joyful music playing]
Hanuman, this is the back portion of Mithila.
My Lord who remains calm
appears impatient.
Why not?
I need to thank someone.
If we had arrived through the main entrance,
rules and other formalities would have caused delay.
I want to first meet
someone special in Mithila.
What is the place
you want to visit
so eagerly?
[joyful music playing]
Let's go, Hanuman.
[joyful music playing]
This is King Janaka's abode.
How do you know it's a palace?
It doesn't look like a palace.
Because King Janaka
is a scholar and a pandit
before he is a king.
Those who value knowledge
lead an ordinary life.
Even our mother's description
of the palace matches it.
'Take Luv and Kush to Mithila.'
'Tell everyone in Mithila'
'that Vandevi is, in fact, Sita!'
Luv,
we can't go inside.
Mother warned us not to meet the king before the competition.
You're right.
We will meet King Janaka
as the winners of the competition.
[triumphant music plays]
Let's go.
[sweeping music playing]
Who are you? Why did you turn your back on us?
How come you have King Janaka's quiver?
King Janaka gifted it to us
when we were fighting with the rakshasas.
We have come to Mithila to return it.
Do you think I'm a fool?
You must have stolen this quiver.
[suspenseful music playing]
Let's take them to the king.
Beware!
You shouldn't judge someone by their appearance.
Ravana also mistook Shri Rama to be a mere forest dweller.
[dramatic music playing]
[chortling]
Luv, did you forget Mother's order?
Now, you will soon be
smeared with mud.
- [arrow swishing] - [explosion]
Luv, run!
Catch them!
[conch shell playing]
Mother,
I don't want to ask You for anything.
I want to thank You.
I met my Sita for the first time
in Your divine temple,
with Your blessings.
[song playing]
Goddess, thank You
for bringing Sita into my life and making her my wife.
Although I experienced all kinds of happiness,
my only regret is that my child couldn't visit You.
However, I'm confident
that they will visit You soon.
'So, my Lord was eager'
'to visit this place.'
Hanuman,
let's go and give the invitation.
[devotional music playing]
Luv!
[suspenseful music playing]
[devotional song playing]
[exhilarating music playing]
Hanuman, who are these children?
Lord, they must be the residents of Mithila.
Just look at them. They are so swift.
It's not surprising as they are in Mother Sita's land.
[song playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
Look.
We can pass through that small gap.
The soldiers won't be able to follow us.
Let's go.
Kush, hurry up!
Come on!
Hey!
He is one of the quiver thieves!
Catch him!
[theme music playing]
[sweeping music playing]
[theme music playing]
It's okay, Your Majesty!
Please don't embarrass me.
You are my wife's aunt.
You're akin to my mother.
And a son must honour his mother.
Your duties and responsibilities were supposed to be fulfilled
as Mithila's son-in-law
and as our daughter Sita's husband!
[thunder breaking]
However, today you've come here as Ayodhya's king!
The king who renounced my daughter Sita
- to establish righteousness! - Enough, Chandrabhaga.
Stop it.
[dramatic music playing]
Your Majesty, let a mother vent her grief.
If she doesn't share her pain,
it will become a wound.
You are truly great.
You didn't lose the chance to be great yet again.
[tense music plays]
You are praised by one and all.
Everyone wishes to have a son
and a son-in-law like you.
But I feel like
having every wall in Mithila inscribed with the message,
"Please don't marry off your daughter to anyone in Ayodhya!"
[thunder cracking]
[dramatic music playing]
[dramatic music continues playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
Please let go of him.
O, God! They are pulling us like a rope.
Mahadeva!
[dramatic music playing]
[chanting Sanskrit mantra]
I know you're brilliant
but you must recite a 'shloka' according to the situation.
[chanting Sanskrit mantra]
What does it mean?
It means that those who stand by the truth
and act honestly always bring about auspicious outcomes.
The assistant guru is reassuring himself.
Do you understand?
Assistant Guru, please don't recite this 'shloka'.
Otherwise, this mantra
will kill the soldier who is pulling you.
[suspenseful music playing]
Please don't punish the soldier who is simply fulfilling his duty.
We are disciples and this 'shloka' is powerful.
It could stir up a storm.
It might lead to a holocaust.
[amusing music playing]
[birds chirping]
Luv.
[intriguing music plays]
Did Mother-in-law Sunayana not welcome me for this very reason?
She must be angry with me.
She is unwell and can't walk.
Yes.
Shri Rama, I'm angry with you.
[intriguing music plays]
[dramatic music playing]
Sunayana!
[dramatic music playing]
[intriguing music plays]
After a daughter's marriage,
she belongs to her in-laws,
and the same is true for the son-in-law with his in-laws.
[melancholic music playing]
I know
that somebody trying to establish righteousness
ignores his family.
But, Rama,
you should have at least met us once in all these years.
[melancholic music playing]
Mother-in-law, how could I?
I didn't have the courage.
Mother-in-law, I didn't have the face to meet you.
However, if I had known about your ill health,
I would have met you sooner.
Do you have any other excuse?
[tense music plays]
When you and Sita got married,
it felt as if you were sent by Mahadeva.
But, Rama, you hurt me
by renouncing my daughter!
[melancholic music playing]
And that couldn't be Mahadeva's wish.
Sunayana, please stop it.
[dramatic music playing]
You are speechless, right?
[dramatic music playing]
Mother-in-law, sometimes our responsibilities
make us speechless.
Some black marks
can't be removed for ages.
[melancholic music playing]
Mother-in-law, I didn't come here
to speak but just to listen.
[melancholic music playing]
Mother-in-law, I'm here to lighten your burden.
[suspenseful music playing]
Rama, I can see
the pain and guilt in your eyes.
How much more burden do you want to carry?
[mellow music playing]
You're great and you don't need
to prove your innocence.
[mellow music playing]
You ate Shabari's half-eaten berries,
and gave an example of devotion and respect to the world.
You freed Ahalya
and liberated Tataka.
Moreover, you slayed
the entire rakshasa clan for my daughter.
If I didn't welcome someone like you
upon your arrival at my home,
I would be the most unfortunate woman in the world.
Rama, welcome to Mithila.
[Chaupai playing]
[Chaupai continues playing]
[song playing]
[song fades out]
This place...
It's the place where Devi Sita...
No. Mother Sita
and Lord Shri Rama met here.
They met here for the first time.
[exhilarating music playing]
O, Mother Gauri, please help us
meet Mother Sita
and Lord Shri Rama just once.
We request You.
[conch shell playing]
[footsteps approaching]
Luv!
I forgot to request.
Mother says
that if we make a courteous request
with a pure heart, we receive what we seek.
Stop it! Let's go!
