The water is sweet, Sita.
What about the water that is in your eyes?
You can hide your feelings from the world.
But not from your Sita, my Lord.
You are remembering your Father, is it not?
When you embraced Pakshiraj Jatayu
you realised that your Father
is no longer with you. Am I right?
Sometimes, I feel
that you are my mind, Sita.
[flute playing]
How do you manage to read
my innermost feelings, worries
happiness and other emotions, Sita?
You were the one who said that I am your mind.
Sita may be breathing
from this mortal body,
but only Rama resides
in her heart, my Lord.
[mellow music playing]
[vocalising]
That is why I did not realise
how I spent so many years with you
in this uninhabited forest.
Where are you?
[tense music playing]
Sometimes, this exile
feels like a boon.
Had we been in Ayodhya,
you would not find time from your princely duties
to manage your Sita's scattered hair.
[mellow music playing]
Please come.
Let me do your hair.
[intense music playing]
You are already managing me, Sita.
You have managed my resolution.
You are the chariot of this journey of righteousness.
Please come.
[sinister music playing]
[eerie music playing]

[sinister music playing]
Who is this divine man
who has attracted Shurpanakha?
Such a handsome and charming man.
I am certain he is Rama.
And she is Sita.
I can see the wish with which Ravana sent me to Dandaka forest,
is coming true today.
[vocalising]
[hand bell ringing]
[theme music playing]
'I will find Sita.'
'Only my brother Lankesh will have complete right over Sita.'
The time has come to fulfil the promise that I made to Ravana.
I will take Sita away from Rama
forever.
It is evening now. Let me prepare the food.
[sinister music playing]
Ultimately, the search for an eligible groom for me is complete.
I will aim at two targets with just one arrow.
Ravana will get Sita
and I will get
this attractive Rama.
[sinister music continues playing]
[mellow music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[anklets jingling]
[suspenseful music playing]
I believe you have lost your way
in this thick forest.
I was wandering until now.
But now...
I have found my destination.
I have heard so many tales of your bravery, Rama.
I thought that they were just fables.
But after seeing you in person today
I have realised what a divine human you are.
Your youth,
the Sun like glow on your face,
your strong shoulders,
and your innocent smile
can attract anyone, Rama.
You have made me yours, without paying anything, Rama.
Please introduce yourself.
And do tell me why you are here.
You are the reason.
And you are my destiny.
You are what my heart wants
and what this body desires.
I did not ask for my introduction,
I asked you to introduce yourself.
What?
Is it not sufficient
that I am a beautiful and attractive woman?
And you... You are the ultimate man.
Our love and relationship
will become our identity.
And you can look into my eyes
and find the reason for my coming here.
Oh!
I am very fond of those men
who are tough to get.
Do not be rigid, Rama.
I have heard that
along with valour, you are blessed with a sharp mind.
I am sure you have understood by now
that I am deeply attracted to you.
I want to make you mine.
I want to become yours.
[intense music playing]
I do not want to disrespect your love.
But, kindly forgive me.
I cannot become the object of your love.
Don't say that, Rama.
After having waited for several years
I have found someone worthy of me.
What do I lack?
Why do you not feel that I am worthy of you?
You do not lack anything.
But, I am married.
My Lord, whom are you talking to?
[vocalising]
Come, Sita.
Please meet her.
She is my wife.
Daughter of King Janak, Sita.
I do not have any problems with your wife, Rama.
Because Kings and Princes are allowed
to have many wives.
I am not a King.
[dramatic music playing]
I am an ordinary forest dweller.
Once you marry me, you will no longer remain ordinary, Rama.
I am the Lord of all worlds,
Lankapati Ravana's sister, Shurpanakha.
[tense music playing]
The kings of the Dandaka forest
Khar and Dushan are my brothers.
You will become the King of Dandaka forest after you marry me.
And I...
I will become your Queen.
If you wish
I will give your Sita
the role of my handmaid.
Please forgive me.
I am not fascinated by high designations and royalty.
Otherwise, I would not be in exile.
Please understand my situation.
I have vowed to be a one-woman man.
Please respect my religion and dignity.
[intense music playing]
It's unjust to reject a woman's love which is purer than a seasonal bath.
- Will you make this mistake? - There is a difference.
Among the four purposes of life
virtue comes before desire.
If the work we do is not abiding by our virtues
or if it is not within the limits of righteousness
then that very work will become a reason for evil and sin.
There is a desire in your proposal.
My refusal to you
is bound by my virtues.
I have not come here to learn ethics and rules.
I have come here to get married to you, Rama.
Rama.
I have brought the water.
[sinister music playing]
Who is this young man?
He is my brother, Lakshmana.
Hmm.
He is also very attractive.
And he is not accompanied by any woman.
Can I give him my marriage proposal?
You are an independent woman.
And Lakshmana is an independent man.
It is your wish if you want to ask him to marry you.
And it is Lakshmana's wish if he wants to accept it or not.
[tense music playing]
Brave man.
Look at the coincidence.
A beautiful lady
is meeting a handsome man.
Both of them are alone in this forest.
My husband is no more.
Please put an end to my suffering.
Please accept me as your partner.
I will give you unlimited love.
Your love is very strange.
Just a few minutes ago you were attracted by my brother.
And now, you have come to me.
Your brother is foolish.
But, I can see it on your face
that you understand the reality.
I believe you are ignorant of the reality.
You are the great Ravana's sister.
You are a Princess.
But I am just a trivial assistant to my brother.
[tense music playing]
If you become my partner, that would mean that
you will have to serve my brother and sister-in-law day and night.
Will a beautiful Princess like you be able to do this?
That would not be possible.
And I will not be able to see you go through so much trouble.
So, if you wish to take permission,
then ask the master, not the assistant.
[intense music playing]
You...
Both brothers are playing with my emotions, are you not?
Why, Rama?
Your emotions are inappropriate.
And the proposal is unethical.
When your husband was alive
if a second man
had come and forced you
to get married to him,
would his action
be virtuous in your eyes?
The same applies to me too.
[theme music playing]
Relationships
are formed by love and dedication.
Not by desire and the greed to snatch.
It will be best for you
if you find someone
who will love you.
He is the one who will keep you happy forever.
[theme music playing]
I am very happy with my Sita.
I will not be able to love
anyone else, but my Sita.
Because of this Sita
you are sacrificing me, Rama.
What is so special about her?
She is an ordinary woman.
She will soon grow old.
Her beauty and youth
will be lost with age.
But I...
I am the mistress of illusion.
My body will remain beautiful
and full of youth forever.
Love is in no way connected to the body and youth.
We fall in love with the soul of the person.
[flute playing]
The love that my soul has for Sita.
Hmm.
Now I understand that
the root cause of the problem is Sita, right?
Because of her
you are rejecting my proposal.
My beauty,
my youth,
all of it is a waste according to you.
Something like this is happening for the first time, because of Sita.
Ravana's sister
did not get what she wanted.
[dramatic music playing]
I will put an end to this problem, right away.
You are bound by your wife's love and your vow, is it not?
I will finish your wife.
And when you won't have your wife with you
then there will not be any love or vow
that will stop you from becoming mine.
[dramatic music playing]
- Cruel rakshasi. - Sita.
No, Lakshmana. Don't take the sin of killing a woman on your head.
[screaming]
[tense music playing]
The ego with which you were using your beauty to sin,
will become a curse for the rest of your life.
[dramatic music playing]
[crying inconsolably]
[tense music playing]
[sombre music playing]
This...
This was not right, my Lord.
A woman's honour has been attacked.
We will have to pay the price for this.
Brahmarishi Vishvamitra had told said before Tataka was killed
that whether it is a man or a woman,
if they cross the limits of righteousness and trouble others
they should be ideally punished.
Sita.
Whatever Lakshmana did,
he did it to save your life.
Shurpanakha has got the fruits of her deeds.
When a human being
misuses their power or beauty to perform a wrong task,
or they are unrighteous
or encourage others to be unrighteous,
then they are punished, Sita.
[vocalising]
The sin that Shurpanakha committed
due to the ego of her beauty or power
has been rightly taken away from her.
But the attack that was made on her
was a mistake, my Lord.
[flute playing]
We can never be free of our karma, Sita.
We will surely get the fruit of our deeds.
But, we will face it together.
Ravana's sister has been attacked, my Lord.
The entire rakshasa clan
will set out to take revenge on you.
Just like how we have faced
every situation, together,
we will face this also, Sita.
Because moving away from the path of virtue
just because we are scared,
is not the tradition of Raghukul.
