In relationships, we win even when we lose.
That is why you have the right
to this symbol of victory.

Our Sita is full of modesty.
Kaikeyi had realised it even before she met Sita.
[tense music playing]
Kaikeyi.
The gift that you wanted to give Sita...
[pensive music playing]
Please do me a favour, Sumitra.
You give her the gift.
But...
You were eager to give that gift to her.
Rama is a son to all of us.
There is no yours and mine in a relationship.
Go.
Please give this gift to her.
Okay, Kaikeyi.
[flute playing]
[theme song playing]
All Hail Lord Rama.
All Hail Mother Sita.

The cuckoo looks very gullible,
while the crow looks clever.
But it is always the opposite.
The cuckoo pushes the crow's eggs out of the nest,
and lays her eggs in the crow's nest.
The innocent crow
tends to the eggs thinking they are her own.
But,
when the babies hatch from the eggs...
Kaikeyi.
It is not wrong
to love someone else's child.
But, for that
if you turn away from your offspring,
it will not render auspicious results, Kaikeyi.
When your seed,
withers away instead of sprouting,
it troubles you.
Am I right?
Please listen to me, Kaikeyi.
Instead of showing your greatness by ruining your son's future,
it is better to be selfish and do something in his interest.
If a mother does not become selfish,
then why will this world worship a mother?
Kaikeyi.
You have called me mother, is it not?
Are you listening to me?
[sobbing]
Send a message to Kekeya.
Yes.
I wish to see my brother Yudhajit
as soon as possible,
here in Ayodhya.
Yes.
I will send word.

The courage of ancestors like King Harishchandra,
Raghu, Dilip,
and Bhagiratha is the reason
for Ayodhya's glory, Sita.
The real tribute for them would be
when Ayodhya's success
and prosperity
reaches the greatest heights.
Under your guidance.
Not mine.
Our guidance.
Because Sita has joined Rama in such a way,
that no one can separate you
from Rama in any way.
This Rama
and his journey
will be incomplete without you, Sita.
And my complete dedication
will be solely for you.
[theme song playing]
Our Ayodhya is so beautiful. Is it not?
Yes.
The beauty of a country
cannot be limited to gardens, fountains
or rivers.
But it is made of the people of that country,
its culture
and the relationship of the people with their king.
I wish to see the real Ayodhya, Rama.
[mellow music playing]
Let me show you
the extended kingdom on the other side of the river.
[theme song playing]
This is Prince Rama.
He is accompanied by Sita.
[flute playing]
We are blessed to have met you both.
You look like Lord Narayan and Goddess Lakshmi.
[flute playing]
May you always stay happy.
No. You look like Goddess Gauri and Lord Mahadeva.
[theme song playing]
[theme song continues playing]
Like this. Now, you try.
[theme song playing]
[theme song continues playing]
[theme song playing]
Princess, please have food along with us.
[theme song playing]
We are thankful to all of you for the love that you have shown.
We are grateful to you, because we were able to see you.
We were unable to come to Ayodhya, to welcome you.
Why?
Did you not receive the information?
We received the information and the invitation.
But we did not have resources to come.
It takes a very long way to reach Ayodhya by foot.
If you cross Sarayu in the north,
you can reach Ayodhya in less time.
There are obstacles in crossing Sarayu in that direction, Rama.
[sombre music playing]
[tense music playing]
Are you seeing this, Prince Rama?
This route to Ayodhya is short,
but it is full of obstacles.
Sarayu is calm now.
But the river is very deep at this point.
And when the flow of water increases
no one is able to cross River Sarayu.
The youngsters somehow
manage to cross the river by tying themselves with ropes.
But, what about the elderly people and the children?
If there is a barrier in the waterway,
then build a bridge.
I will arrange for a boat.
The boat will be useful only if Sarayu is calm.
The bridge can be built on a calm Sarayu,
but when she is furious, the bridge crumbles.
King Dasharatha also made several attempts.
We also tried to make a way. But,
the flow of water is so severe here,
that the stones that are dropped for forming a foundation of the bridge
are unable to stay anchored.
Often, we get so involved in examining the problem,
that despite having a solution in front of us,
we fail to see it.
The weakness of this location
is the unpredictable change in the flow of water in Sarayu.
But, the strength
lies in the water.
The water
on which everything floats easily.
If there is one problem,
then why should we have different boats?
How about we all come together?
All of you and the boats.
Let us proceed towards a new transformation.
[theme song playing]
[horses neighing]
[triumphant music playing]
Father is very concerned.
He is worried that Bharata has married a girl from that family.
I agree that Mandavi's father
is the brother of the King of Mithila.
But he is an ordinary knight.
We did not receive any intimation about it.
Not just Bharata's Uncle,
but even his mother found out very late.
But, please inform Father,
not to worry about me.
His daughter is capable of resolving her issues.
Please arrange to take Bharata
to Kekeya once again.
Arrange for him to be trained in politics once again.
Make his leadership skills so strong,
that his mother Kaikeyi,
is proud of him.
'Prince Yudhajit of Kekeya'
'is arriving with Queen Kaikeyi.'
[epic music playing]
Greetings from Yudhajit to the King of Ayodhya.
Greetings, Prince Yudhajit.
Welcome to Ayodhya.
Please come.
Uncle Yudhajit.
I bow down to you.
You could have sent word.
I would have made all arrangements to welcome you.
When the matters are important and distances are greater,
then what is the use of sending a message ahead of time?
Your Uncle did not get the news of your marriage.
You are right, Prince Yudhajit.
There is no point in a message that has been received late.
I had to honour my Gurus' words.
The time was extremely auspicious.
That is why we had to conduct the wedding quickly.
Please convey Ayodhya's best wishes
to King Ashvapati.
And a request to forgive me.
Prince Yudhajit.
You are visiting Ayodhya after many years.
I insist
that you enjoy the hospitality of Ayodhya.
Please forgive me.
But that will not be possible.
I have come here to fulfil my duty.
Bharata's training is still incomplete.
He has to come to Kekeya with me, so that he can finish his training.
[dramatic music playing]
What are you saying, Prince Yudhajit?
Bharata has got married just now.
We must allow the newly-weds to spend some time together.
When a few months have gone by,
you may take him along with you.
What is your opinion, Kaikeyi?
[dramatic music playing]
You...
You have travelled a long distance, Prince Yudhajit.
Please rest for a few days.
I apologise for
speaking in between, Father.
Turning away from one's duty
is not a tradition of Ayodhya.
I am your son.
It is necessary to finish
what has been started.
I request you to permit me
to go to Kekeya with Uncle Yudhajit.
- Bharata, you... - I am proud of you, Bharata.
I'm proud that you have learnt your responsibility well.
Mother.
All this is possible because of Rama's benevolence.
Rama was the one who taught me this principle.
[tense music fades]
The main principle of life
is unity,
diligence,
and trust.

The problem was tough.
But the resolution was so simple.
You found the solution to our age-old problem in no time.
The solution
often comes with the problem.
But, we are unable to see it.
Always remember,
if unity, diligence and trust are with you,
then success is in your hands.
- All Hail Lord Rama. - All Hail Lord Rama.
[theme song playing]
Why are you looking at me with this expression?
[flute playing]
I'm appreciating
what Lord Mahadeva has given me.
A truthful leader.
A leader who thinks about others' comfort and convenience,
before he worries about his comfort and convenience.
He is the first one to come forward to resolve a predicament.
In that case, I'm more blessed by Lord Mahadeva.
He has given me you in the form of an ideal partner.
[theme song playing]
I have lived in Ayodhya for several years.
But I did not have an opportunity
to do something for the well-being of the residents of Ayodhya.
You came into my life
and I found a way of offering my services to the people.
It seems like you are unable to hear me entering your quarters, Kaikeyi.
- You are angry about a menial error. - You're not right, Kaikeyi.
Without discussing or consulting with me, you called
your brother Yudhajit here.
This is not correct.
Bharata did mention to you
that Sita was present, as a mother, during the wedding ceremony.
And I
could not dishonour my Guru's decree.
Do you remember, Your Majesty,
when I spoke about sending all our sons away from Ayodhya,
you had told me,
that I must only ponder over my son Bharata's matters?
So, is this inappropriate?
Kaikeyi, I do recall.
I loved Bharata then and I love Bharata even today.
You are the one who is
trying the create a comparison.
I am here to merely tell you
not to try and create a rift
in the family.
If this attack is made on the family,
then our family will not be able to stand together as one.
[dramatic music playing]
You are the head of this family, Your Majesty.
I am just a mother.
A mother who is not trying to break her family,
but is merely trying to strengthen her son's future.
Kaikeyi.
My family has come together after so many years.
All my four sons are in front of my eyes.
They have settled down in their homes and families.
They are happy.
All of Ayodhya is joyful.
Why is there discontent in your heart?
The Kaikeyi whom I know,
loves every leaf in this palace.
Then why does this Kaikeyi
have a stone in her heart?
[tense music playing]
Stone?
Am I made of stone?
Is this how you will reward me in return for my love and dedication?
- Kaikeyi, my words... - I have understood your words
and the meaning of your words, Your Majesty.
Fine.
If my heart is made of stone, so be it.
I will stay this way for you
and for your family.
- I am merely saying... - Enough!
Enough said.
Please leave me to myself.
Leave your stone-hearted Queen alone
amid these stone walls.
Don't make the discontent of your heart a reason to break the family.
Keep the dignity of the Queen of Ayodhya
and a mother intact. Otherwise...
[vocalisation]
Otherwise, disaster is sure to befall us.
