[intense music playing]
Do you have more ornaments left
which you can throw and leave a trail for Rama?
Did I not tell you?
Your Rama will not be able to find out where you are.
Look at this vast ocean.
How will your Rama cross it?
He will not have any sense of direction
nor will be able to gauge the distance.
Welcome to
Lankesh's kingdom, Sita.
My Lanka is not built with stones,
but it is built with pure gold.
My soldiers guard my kingdom
in all directions.
Even the ocean bows its head down to me.
What do you think?
Will your Rama be able to come here?
Will he be able to free you?
"Ravana"
[intense music playing]
[waves lashing]
[demonic laughter]
Lankesh, please accept Snake Mother Surasa's greetings.
Your ocean is safe.
I know it, Surasa.
Continue to
stand strong like this on your path of duty.
[vocalising]
She is Surasa.
She swallows anyone who comes towards her.
Do you know, Sita?
When a Cobra swallows someone
even their remains cannot be found.
[dramatic music playing]
[birds chirping]
Don't build any hopes
after looking at these birds, Sita.
These birds may very well be flying over Ravana's ocean
but they will never be able to cross it.
[birds chirping]
[dramatic music playing]
[demonic laughter]
Rahu's mother and your maid bows down to you, Lankesh.
[tense music playing]
Did you see that?
Ravana's strength
and Ravana's Lanka.
Where even Lord takes my permission before setting foot.
How will that insignificant forest-dweller come here?
How will he find you?
Everyone from the Earth to Lord Varuna
is my servant.
The poor forest-dweller will get killed
in the process of finding you.
Shree Rama who has crossed several oceans,
will surely cross this ocean for the sake of his Sita, Ravana.
[theme song playing]
Even idols
get life when he touches them.
This ocean will show him the way.
Hope builds up in my heart after seeing Sita's fate.
But, my heart aches to see her in pain.
How will Rama be able to save Sita
when the security is so intricate in Lanka?
Everyone from Earth to the ocean bow down to him.
So many magicians like Surasa, Simhika and many others
bow down to him.
Entering Lanka under such circumstances
looks impossible to me.
Goddess.
No matter how deep
and wide the ocean
of sin and unrighteousness is,
even a single straw of truth and virtue
is capable of crossing that ocean.
Because of the thread of Sita's love and faith
Shree Rama also will find a way to cross
this inaccessible ocean.
[hand bell chiming]
[dramatic music playing]
[hissing sound]
Lakshmana, we have to go the other way.
[tense music playing]
[tense music continues playing]
- Lakshmana. - Be careful, Rama.
[rocks clattering]
[tense music playing]
[vocalising]
The sorrows of the forest have ended.
Golden Lanka is ready to give you infinite happiness and welcome.
[dramatic music playing]
I knew it.
Only my brother Ravana
can hit two birds with one stone.
Along with the retribution for my insult and my son's death
he has also taken his revenge.
[sombre music playing]
Pushpaka!
Where is Lankesh going?
Pushpaka.
[dramatic music playing]
Shree Rama.
[dramatic music continues playing]
You are on the path of your death.
But neither are you screaming nor are you trembling with fear.
Who are you?
How come you are not scared of me?
Even fear is scared of him,
why will such a man be scared of you, Rakshasa?
Look carefully.
He is the one
who had killed Tataka,
the one who was as strong as 1000 elephants.
He put an end to the extremely powerful Viradha.
He destroyed 14,000 Rakshasas
along with Khar and Dushan.
Why would the one who hunts down lions
be scared of a mouse like you?
It is not easy to finish me.
You can kill me
only if you can open my fist.
And my fist will not open.
Rama.
Let us finish this problem at the root.
Who said that we have to open your fist?
We have to just cut the arms
that are joined to your fists.
[drumbeats]
[conch-shell playing]
[loud explosion]
[theme song playing]
[theme song continues playing]
Lakshmana.
Rama. Lakshmana.
I will not be freed with your arrows.
I can attain salvation only when the fire rites are performed.
Then I will be free from this hellish life.
Only after that can I show you the way to reach Goddess Sita.
- Sita? - Rama.
He is an illusion. I'm sure he is trying to trap us.
Let's finish him off.
Wait, Lakshmana.
He knows Sita.
How do you know that we are looking for Sita?
And how do you know where she is?
My body may look monstrous
but I am a Gandharva from inside.
My name was Danu.
I was very strong.
Intoxicated by my own power
I took monstrous forms and troubled saints and sages.
Once, without realising it, I played mischief with Sage Sthulashila.
In a fit of anger, he cursed me to remain in this form.
When I asked for forgiveness, he showed me the way to salvation.
He said that when Rama will come with Lakshmana
in search of Sita,
I will attain salvation at that time.
I lost my beauty, but the arrogance of my power continued to stay.
I had challenged Lord Indra for war.
When he attacked me with his thunderbolt
my head penetrated my stomach.
Even since then, Danu came to be called Kabandha.
I have been waiting for my liberator, Shree Rama, for years.
Tell me how to get to Sita.
Tell me where she is and what condition is she in?
For that, you will have to free me from this demonic body.
Only then I can guide you with the help of my divine vision.
Please burn me alive, so that I can be freed.
No.
It is very sinful to burn someone alive.
I will not do that.
It is virtuous, not sinful to free someone from their troubles, Rama.
Please do not delay any further. Please help me get freedom.
So that, I can give you the news of Goddess Sita.
[dramatic music playing]
[dramatic music continues playing]
[dramatic music playing]
This is Ashoka Vatika, Sita.
Even Gods don't come here.
Are you wondering
why I have brought you to this garden
instead of taking you to my beautiful palace?
Come. I will show you the answer.
Look.
Look at your reflection.
Look at how the difficult forest life
has ruined your divine beauty.
This Sita who is draped in bark clothing
is not the same Sita
whose perfect beauty
I had seen in Mithila.
I am still bothered by the frustration of not getting you.
I have still not overcome that defeat.
Sita, who has withered because of the forest will not enter Lanka,
but Sita who will glow like gold, will go.
Sita whose beauty is enhanced by beautiful ornaments and clothes
will go as the Queen of Lanka.
Only that Sita will go with me from this Ashoka Vatika.
Sita will go only with Shree Rama.
As long as Sita has life in her
only Shree Rama will reside in every pore in her body.
I did not mind these words of yours.
I can understand.
This is the pain of separation.
It will go away slowly.
But believe me,
this beauty of Ashoka Vatika
will captivate your mind.
And once
you colour yourself with the colours of Lanka
then your life is mine
and each pore of yours is mine.
I know.
This is a very big decision.
That is why I will leave you alone
for sometime.
Tonight,
we will partake in Rakshasa Vivaha.
It is better if you bow down before my wish,
otherwise...
I will find one way or the other to bow you down.
[dramatic music playing]
It is your responsibility to please Lankesh now.
Tell Trijata,
to get Sita ready
as soon as possible.
[dramatic music playing]
[sinister music playing]
[chanting sanskrit mantra]
"Ravana"
When your faces should be reflecting
the joy of victory,
why am I seeing a question mark on those faces?
[dramatic music playing]
When the value of the victory is greater than the victory itself
then it loses its charm, Father.
But if your wish is to attain true victory
then please permit me.
I will overthrow Rama and Lakshmana with my courage
and bring them in front of you as captives.
I will make them fall at your feet and beg for their life.
[intense music playing]
But to force
a helpless woman
using deceit,
is not victory, Father. Not at all.
And the victory that does not reflect the dignity of courage
does not suit you.
Meghanada.
Do not teach me warfare.
Request, bribe, punishment
and destruction. I am aware of all this knowledge.
Even before you were born
Ravana's victories have been celebrated.
I have fought many wars
to establish this Rakshasa empire.
But, all the wars are not fought on the battlefield.
Sita's abduction is a tactic.
It is a strategy
which is beyond your age and experience.
That is why, it is better you stay quiet.
Sita is worthy of Lanka.
Whether it is by choice or by abduction.
"Ravana"
[fire crackling]
[conch-shell playing] [triumphant music playing]
I am grateful to you for freeing me, Rama.
What information can you give me about Sita?
Shree Rama, cruel Ravana has taken Sita in the Southern direction.
The place is so far, even my divine vision cannot see Sita.
But I can see that
you will get both dedication and support on the path that you take.
Please go to Rishyamukh Mountain.
You will meet Vanara King Sugriva.
He will help you in reaching Mother Sita.
What is the way to go to Rishyamukh Mountain?
Please go towards Pampa Lake.
You will reach Sage Matanga's hermitage.
The great ascetic Shabari will be waiting for you there.
[flute playing]
Her wait will come to an end.
And along with that, the next step to your journey will begin.
She will tell you who will support you and be devoted to you.
She will also guide you on how to reach your wife.
[mellow music playing]
Lakshmana.
We have to meet Mother Shabari as soon as possible.
Yes, Rama.
[flute playing]
My Rama...
[flute playing fades]
