[exhilarating music playing]
Everyone on this list is covered.
Minister Sumantra, please make sure
all the guests are safe and happy.
Sure, Prince.
Let's walk through the kingdom
and check on the preparations there.
Let's go.
Please arrange for more flowers.
Sure. I'll go and bring them.
The entire Ayodhya should be adorned like a new bride.
Stop!
I asked you to stop!
What are all of you busy with?
Huh?
Have you lost it?
Don't you know that we're preparing for the event?
Why are you disrupting our preparations?
We shouldn't welcome a tarnished soul
with celebration.
There's no evidence to prove Sita's chastity.
She has returned after 12 years!
How could Shri Rama do this?
And what did Sita prove?
Oh, God!
How could this wicked person tarnish the image of Devi Sita?
He dared to slander Devi Sita's character!
How could you be so defiant?
[suspenseful music playing]
I'm telling the truth.
We accepted Sita
because she talked about women's rights.
She fought for their honour,
but the real question is,
does Sita deserve to ascend to the throne again?
Why has she been performing austerities in the temple
for the last two days instead of returning to the palace?
Is she atoning for her sins?
Insolent, keep quiet!
Let go of me! I'll kill him!
My questions will stay unanswered even if I die.
We must go immediately and demand
Sita's 'agnipariksha'!
Did all of you hear him?
What did this sinner just say?
I'm not sinning,
but rather, it is Shri Rama's decision that is a sin.
If Sita wants to ascend to the throne,
she must undergo 'agnipariksha'
in front of the subjects of Ayodhya!
- Shameless! - Insolent!
- I won't spare him! '- Quiet!'
[dramatic music playing]
[theme song playing]
The sons of the king of Ayodhya, Shri Ramchandra,
and Mithila's princess Sita,
Luv and Kush, are entering the court of Mithila!
[Chaupai playing]
- Greetings, Grandmother! - Greetings, Grandmother!
[mellow music playing]
Luv.
Kush.
My grandsons. When I saw both of you for the first time,
I saw Sita's reflection in you.
I prayed to Mahadeva that my grandsons be exactly like you two.
Mahadeva listened to me.
The moment I had been waiting for years
has finally arrived.
My Sita's life is joyful
once again.
This is an auspicious moment for Mithila.
- Greetings, Grandfather! - Greetings, Grandfather!
May you have a long life. My God bless you.
The sons of my daughters
have arrived in Mithila.
All of you have brought spring to Mithila.
King Janaka, there's spring in Ayodhya as well.
We are here to invite the people of Mithila,
on behalf of Ayodhya and Shri Rama, to celebrate the arrival of spring.
Please come to Ayodhya
and witness the union of Siya and Rama.
We will definitely come.
All of Mithila will go
to welcome Maithili.
King Janaka, I have a question.
- May I ask you? - Of course.
But first,
please answer my question.
Am I King Janaka to you
or your grandfather?
- Actually... - Please hold the question-and-answer session later.
These boys have had a long journey.
I, their grandmother, will welcome them first and foremost.
Come on, sons.
I have made different kinds of delicacies for you all.
Please come.
Let's go.
Everyone,
please get busy with your work.
The celebration will begin in a short while.
All those who are doubtful
because of this stupid man's statement
must come with me.
[dramatic music playing]
'You're talking about Rama and Sita,'
'who don't deserve sacred and aromatic flowers,'
'but a garland of thorns!'
'I'll make them a garland of thorns.'
'I'll present it to them.'
'What are you saying?'
'- What are you going to do? - [grunting]'
[dramatic music playing]
Prince, why did you stop?
Please move forward and take us to Shri Rama.
Accepting Devi Sita
back in Ayodhya and Raghukul
is against the rules and traditions.
The people of Ayodhya slandered Devi Sita,
so she must now prove her purity, sanctity,
and chastity
before the very same people.
She must undergo 'agnipariksha'!
[sweeping music playing]
Shut your mouth, you foolish!
Don't you love your life?
Those who ask Devi Sita indecent questions
should surely be punished!
Such people are full of negative and evil thoughts!
A person's words decide their fortune or misfortune.
If a person utters true words,
they earn accolades.
However, if they lie,
it could lead to their death!
The queen of Ayodhya, Sita, is the mother of her subjects.
Now that the subjects of Ayodhya have admitted their mistakes
and finally
accepted her as their queen
wholeheartedly, you're back
with your evil and negative thoughts!
You're fanning the flames of slander
that died down a long time ago.
She has performed austerities for 13 long years.
Lord Valmiki has been a witness!
What more proof do you need?
What happens in a jungle stays in a jungle!
Lord Valmiki knows Devi Sita's truth, not us.
How can we believe somebody's words?
The people of Ayodhya became emotional and accepted her,
but I can't be fooled.
How can we be sure of Devi Sita's chastity?
Please tell me.
If you can't answer me,
please ask Devi Sita to come here and undergo 'agnipariksha'.
Only then can she ascend to the sacred throne of Ayodhya.
We can wake up someone who is asleep,
but a wicked person like you
pretends to be asleep!
If you don't trust her, that's fine,
but my Mother Sita won't undergo any kind of test!
Nor will I give a clarification!
However, I can do something.
I can kill you!
I don't want to cause bloodshed during a celebratory mood.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have hesitated
to shed your blood on this ground right away!
Please treat my forgiveness
as the last gift of your life and leave.
Get lost!
Take him away!
When our questions are ignored,
it means you don't have an answer!
This is not done!
Raghukul is deceiving us!
It's a ploy to bring Devi Sita back to Ayodhya!
It's unfair! This is injustice!
This is injustice!
[gate closing]
[amusing music playing]
Please eat one more.
No. Not anymore, Grandmother. I'm full.
That's all right.
Hmm. 'Malpua'.
The dishes you're eating right now
will also be served to you by my mother during the grand event.
Of course, I know.
We'll see whether Grandmother cooks better food
or her daughter, our Mother Sita.
[joyful music playing]
Thank you, Grandmother.
We loved the food.
Now I know who taught my mother to cook delicious food.
You thanked your grandmother, but not your grandfather!
- Thank you, King Janaka! - Thank you, King Janaka!
You called me "King Janaka" again.
Please call me "Grandfather" once.
When you didn't consider our mother your daughter,
how can we accept you as our grandfather?
[suspenseful music playing]
Your daughter wandered around in the forest for 12 years.
She lived like a forest dweller, even though she was a princess.
But you never thought of enquiring about her or meeting her.
"How was she? How did she fare? Where was she exactly?"
You never tried to find out anything about her.
Our aunt told us
that Grandmother was sick.
If she wished, she would've easily located our mother.
However, you couldn't find her
even though you're a king.
[dramatic music playing]
Please forgive us, Your Majesty.
We never intended to insult you.
We simply wanted answers
to our questions.
We thought of these questions only recently.
Our mother must have been bothered by the same questions.
Why did her loving parents
forget about her suddenly?
Why did Mithila ignore her
like Ayodhya?
[vocalising]
Raising such doubts
during a celebration is unacceptable.
The way that man questioned Mother Sita's character again
is both strange and unsettling.
Prince Lakshmana gave that sinner a fitting reply.
I suggest you strike him fatally before the rumours
gain momentum.
Please kill that offender.
No, Minister Sumantra.
Questions never go unanswered in Rama's kingdom.
We do not impose punishment.
Lakshmana, you were right
in not harming him. Let's keep this issue under wraps.
Forget about it.
Every person is entitled to his or her opinion.
All of Ayodhya is preparing for the celebration,
so we don't need to worry.
Let the preparations for the celebration continue as before.
One more thing.
Please make sure Rama doesn't find out about this.
Otherwise, he'd be hurt.
He is finally happy after years.
His joy
shouldn't turn into gloom.
[dramatic music playing]
Now that everything was going well,
who has started slandering my Sita
and demanding that she undergo 'agnipariksha'?
I must do something about it.
I'll fast unto death.
It will help maintain peace at our house.
- I must do it. - Kausalya!
Please don't worry.
This time, Rama, the king of Ayodhya,
and all of Ayodhya accepted Sita wholeheartedly.
Everything is sorted.
Kausalya, please don't be so restless.
Look.
The entire Ayodhya is busy preparing for the celebration.
[poignant music playing]
Everyone is full of joy and excitement.
Kausalya, it's an auspicious period.
Please stop worrying.
Kausalya, there will always be a few bad people
in a crowd of thousands.
Please wipe your tears off.
If Rama sees you worried,
he will be saddened.
My Rama!
No, sons. That's not true.
If you think that we forgot our Sita,
you're mistaken.
- And... - Sunayana.
I made a mistake.
I made the mistake of neglecting my daughter for years.
I made the mistake of not ensuring her security.
Even if our children are capable enough,
parents must stand by them.
However, I was shackled by the rules of our society.
After her marriage,
Janaka's daughter
became King Rama's wife.
She became the queen of Ayodhya.
