[horse neighing]
[tense music plays]
Lord...
Lord, what's going on?
Sita, it's the path of duty.
Bharata and Shatrughna
are going back to Kekeya with Mandavi and Shrutakirti.
[gloomy music playing]
Let's go.
[mellow music playing]
I pay my respects to you, Rama.
I pay my respects to you, Mother.
We were waiting for you two.
Rama,
my journey in Kekeya was cut short.
I'm going to complete it.
Please see off your brother.
Please bless me.
[suspenseful music playing]
[mellow music playing]
Bharata, I'm happy to see
that my brother is a responsible man now.
Rama, one more person besides Bharata
has become responsible now.
Hmm.
One must write a book elucidating
Shatrughna's capability and dedication.
A ruler must be like the sun.
It makes its own path.
Bharata, tread the path of the sun.
Rama,
my path
will always follow your footprints.
[mellow music playing]
Kaikeyi, did you see him?
Rama is inciting Bharata even though he is leaving.
He doesn't give him
a chance to stay away from him even for a moment.
The house will be desolate after you four leave.
Bharata, please don't delay your return.
Mother Sita, I'll return soon.
Rama, please see us off.
[vocalising]
Please bless me.
Bharata, get up.
Bharata, fulfil your duty
and your relationships will take care of themselves.
I'm bidding goodbye to my younger brother
and I'll wait for an efficient ruler to return.
I'll return as an efficient ruler.
[dramatic music playing]
[mellow music playing]
Bharata, you may leave.
Lakshmana.
[mellow music playing]
[vocalising]
[pensive music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
Kaikeyi, please don't forget
the person who is responsible
for your estrangement from your son every time.
[suspenseful music playing]
[melancholic music playing]
[bell clanging]
[theme song playing]
[sweeping music playing]
'I'm the only son of my aged and blind parents.'
'Can you give them water...'
'You snatched the life support of two blind people.'
'You will also be estranged from your loved one.'
'You will pine for your righteous son just like Shravan and die.'
'This is an aged, grieving father's curse to you!'
Greetings, Gurudev.
May God bless you with a long life.
Your Majesty,
you summoned me suddenly.
Is everything okay?
When we become doubtful,
we instantly remember the person who acts like a ray of hope.
What is bothering
the king of Ayodhya?
Gurudev, worries are the result of karma.
The reason for my worry is the curse I received due to my sin.
The sin I committed many years ago.
[dramatic music playing]
Gurudev,
I'm not scared of death.
I'll surely die one day.
I fear
the path to my death.
At my age,
sons support their father.
However, my Bharata and Shatrughna
are distanced from me yet again.
Now, I constantly fear
that my Rama and Lakshmana
might also be distanced from me, Gurudev.
Please guide me.
Your Majesty, every king experiences this fear.
You have already covered
a long journey as Ayodhya's ruler.
So your exhaustion
is quite natural.
As you are exhausted,
you must hand over the rule
to the young generation.
Your Majesty, you are lucky
that God bestowed you
with a son like Rama.
He is talented
and responsible as well.
He is popular
amongst the subjects.
He has already proven
his dutiful nature and valour
to the whole world.
Now he is married too.
I request you
to crown your darling son
and make him Ayodhya's king.
Declare the kingdom's darling Rama
as your successor.
The kingdom of Ayodhya
is eagerly waiting to witness that day.
[theme song playing]
Gurudev, thank you very much.
Honestly,
I'm tired.
I'm surprised
that I was confused although the solution was right in front of me.
After I hand over
this kingdom to Rama,
Ayodhya will get an efficient ruler.
And I'll
get rid of my fear
because
a king can never leave his kingdom.
Gurudev, thanks a lot.
I'm indebted to you.
[dramatic music playing]
You are thinking like a son.
Please try to think from a mother's point of view.
Her son was married barely a week ago
and he already embarked upon an unknown journey with his wife.
She must be hurt.
Sita, I know Mother Kaikeyi inside out.
Her eyes
didn't just reflect the pain of Bharata's estrangement.
[gloomy music playing]
She looked angry.
Sita, there's something
that's gnawing at her.
Even Father didn't come
to bid goodbye to his sons.
Sita, that's unlike him.
I pray to God that everything goes well.
[dramatic music playing]
Everything will be fine
when an understanding son meets his parents
and empathises with his parents.
[theme song playing]
Sita, you are right.
I must talk to Father regarding this.
[theme song playing]
[birds chirping]
[suspenseful music playing]
Rama!
Rama, Father...
Father called for you urgently.
Lakshmana, I'm headed towards his room.
But, Rama, our father isn't present in his room.
He is presiding over the royal court.
[suspenseful music playing]
I pay my respects to you, Father.
May God bless you with a long life.
Greetings, acharya.
May God bestow you with fame.
Rama.
My son Rama.
Please come closer.
[dramatic music playing]
[sinister music plays]
Father, please order.
Courtiers, a king must serve his kingdom
until his last breath.
But your Dasharatha
can't go against time and his age.
Now, I'm old.
So Gurudev Vashishtha's advice
and my judgement
compelled me to propose my eldest son Rama
to be Ayodhya's successor
and Ayodhya's prince!
[tense music plays]
[dramatic music playing]
Rama's interest
in justice and duty
makes him the most eligible contender for the throne!
- Hail Shri Ramchandra! - All hail!
Rama, what is your opinion?
[dramatic music playing]
[joyful music playing]
Acharya,
the subjects are akin to children for a king.
A child values
his father's decisions the most.
It's my good fortune
to follow the order of my father,
Ayodhya's King Dasharatha.
[sinister music plays]
Father,
you believed in me and entrusted me with this responsibility.
I'll try
to learn from you
and follow your footprints
to fulfil this responsibility
with utmost dedication.
I wish to make Raghukul proud.
[sweeping music playing]
Gurudev,
when can we coronate Rama?
The sooner, the better.
Rama can be coronated tomorrow.
[conch-shell playing]
Stupid Kaikeyi!
You must know
that Rama backstabbed you
even though he calls you Mother.
[sweeping music playing]
Rama,
you may clear your doubts with me.
Father, my sense of duty compels me to follow your order
but I'm also regretful.
I shared all the special moments
of my life with my brothers.
Then how can I become a prince in their absence?
[Dasharatha chuckling]
Believe me,
they will be the happiest when they hear this piece of news.
[mellow music playing]
Bharata and Shatrughna
went to tour Kekeya.
I'll make the arrangements to send this news to them.
So it's final
that Rama will become Ayodhya's prince tomorrow!
Please start the preparations
to coronate Rama as a prince!
- Hail Shri Ramchandra! - All hail!
[theme song playing]
Rama is a sweet talker
who backstabbed her big time.
Poor Kaikeyi
doesn't even have a whiff of this plot.
Everything is ruined.
My penance of years is ruined.
Everything is finished.
[sweeping music playing]
Why is everyone cheering suddenly?
[suspenseful music playing]
It isn't the sound of cheering.
It's the declaration of my Kaikeyi's ruination!
Everything is ruined.
All your dreams are shattered.
Manthara!
What's the matter? Why are you crying?
If you water a cactus,
you will get only thorns.
Just look...
Look at what happened.
[dramatic music playing]
[Manthara sighs]
Although...
His Majesty must have consulted you, right?
How could you agree?
Kaikeyi, why did you allow this?
What are you saying? What happened?
Ruination!
There was an announcement for ruination!
Bharata left just a few moments back
and His Majesty declared Rama a prince!
[thunder cracking]
[sombre music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
Do you now understand
why Rama didn't stop Bharata?
[suspenseful music playing]
Why was Bharata married in your absence?
He was married to a mere chieftain's daughter!
He backstabbed you deliberately!
Rama betrayed you like a cuckoo.
Your son Bharata's future is ruined!
Kaikeyi, please wake up now at least!
When will you think about him?
His Majesty has already declared Rama to be the prince.
He won't back off from his words.
Your Majesty, you have been unfair
to my son Bharata.
[sinister music plays]
Words aren't bigger than promises.
- What kind of a promise? - The promise
His Majesty made to you after the war with Sambarasura.
'You didn't just save your husband's life, '
'you saved the life of Ayodhya's king.'
'You may ask for two wishes and not just one! Please ask!'
You have forgotten as you are too naive.
However, you told me after you came back
and I haven't forgotten it.
Kaikeyi,
you have the trump card to win.
His Majesty can forego everything
but he can't forego
Raghukul's honour and his promise!
People get one chance by luck
but you have two chances!
[dramatic music playing]
I'll go and talk to His Majesty.
Wait a minute, Kaikeyi.
If you go there in person,
you'll appear needy!
Kaikeyi, do something
so that His Majesty comes to you!
Remove your adornments and retire to 'Kop Bhavan'!
[thunder rumbling]
I'll go and call His Majesty here.
Think of a way to get rid of Rama and save Bharata
with the help of the two promises
and ask for a wish!
[thunder rumbling]
