[devotional song playing]
Lord, please accept greetings
from the son of Anjani and Kesari, Hanuman.
[devotional song playing]
[conch-shell playing]
I have been searching
for you since my birth.
Lord, the only goal
of my life is you
and your devotion.
Lord, years of barrenness
in my heart have been removed
by your arrival.
Lord, my faith won at last.
My reverent, my God,
my Shri Rama is finally here.
[devotional song playing]
Get up, Hanuman.
[devotional song playing]
Hanuman shouldn't lay at my feet
but reside in my heart!

Lord,
I recognised you
but being the minister
of the king of vanaras, Sugriva,
I was verifying the truth.
Lord,
I'm sad that a devotee
recognised his Lord but the Lord
doesn't recognise
his devotee, Hanuman.
If I had recognised you,
I wouldn't have known
about your knowledge,
love, and affection.
Hanuman, how could I recognise you?
You confused us
with your knowledge and your unique getup.
I made a mistake, Lord.
A devotee shouldn't display his knowledge
or appear as a brahmin in front of his God.
In fact, they should meet him
pure-heartedly and with a pure body.
Lakshmana!
[mellow music playing]
Shri Rama, greetings.
- Greetings, Lakshmana! - Greetings, Lakshmana!
Greetings.
Lord, he is Nala and he is Neela.
They are King Sugriva's ministers
and amazing engineers.
Lord, the two of them can build
stunning architecture within seconds.
Shri Rama,
we learnt everything from Hanuman.
Right, Neela?
Right, Nala.
Hanuman,
please take us to the king of vanaras now.
Lord, King Sugriva
will be fortunate to be associated with you.
You are pining for your wife and in the same way,
he is grieving for his wife.
The friendship between you two
wouldn't just benefit you two
but the entire world, Lord.
Lord, please come
and sit on my shoulders.
I'll take you to the peak of the Rishyamukh Mountain,
to meet King Sugriva.
No, we can walk.
How could we sit on your shoulders?
I agree you have a good physique
but you won't be able to reach the mountain peak carrying both of us.
Lakshmana,
I'll be blessed
to carry the weight of you two.
Lakshmana, I'll be more than happy to do it.
Please don't snatch this golden opportunity
from Lord Shri Rama's servant.
Let me clear up your confusion.
- [bells clanging] - [drums beating]
"Hail Shri Rama!"
[Hanuman Chalisa playing]
[conch-shell playing]
Let's go, Lakshmana.
[vocalising]
"Hail valorous Hanuman."
Come on, get up!
Lankesh wants to meet you!
Didn't you hear us? Lankesh summoned you.
He wants you to go to the place nobody is allowed to go.
Those who tried to go there were killed immediately!
He can come here if he wants to meet me.
I won't leave this place.
Even though you are a captive, you are acting arrogant!
Please don't forget
that you're alive due to Lankesh's benevolence.
You don't seem to fear him.
Only those people
who don't have faith in themselves fear.
It seems you need to be dragged away!
Trijata, help me move her!
Get up!
[sweeping music playing]
I don't want to hurt you.
I know
that you're simply following your king's order.
[dramatic music playing]
Let's go.
[dramatic music playing]
Your arrogance and fearlessness
will soon end.
You are summoned to an illusory place
where nobody has gone except Lankesh.
And this fact isn't auspicious.
Let me look at you for the last time.
[chortling]
[intense music plays]
Move!
[intense music plays]
[eerie music plays]
We aren't allowed to go further.
Please go inside alone.
We'll meet again if you're alive.
[eerie music plays]
Greetings, King Sugriva.
Greetings, chief minister, Jambavanta.
Greetings, Shri Rama.
Please be seated.
Please tell me, Shri Rama.
Why were you searching for me in this dense forest?
I'm banished
and don't own an army but I'll help you
in every way I can.
We were informed by Gandharva Danu
and Mother Shabari
that you can help us.
I?
What is the problem you're facing?
[suspenseful music playing]
I was staying
with my younger brother Lakshmana
and wife, Sita at Panchavati during the last phase of my exile.
One day, an evil rakshasa Ravana
kidnapped my Sita
and took her towards the south in his 'vimana'.
- Vanraj, I came here in search of her. - What?
Ravana?
Pushpaka Vimana?
[tense music plays]
What happened, king of vanaras?
Why did you become silent?
May I know the reason for your worry?
Shri Rama,
I want to show you something.
[suspenseful music playing]
Hanuman.
[dramatic music playing]
[melancholic music playing]
[melancholic song playing]
These are...
These are my Sita's jewellery.
Where did you find them, Your Majesty?
My vanaras found these in the forest.
They said,
'We were gathering food in the forest.'
'At that moment, this fell from the sky.'
'We saw a rakshasa taking away a woman with him in a 'vimana'.'
It means my Sita...
My Sita was in pain.
She was crying out my name for help
but I failed to help her.
Lakshmana, these are my Sita's jewellery, right?
Lakshmana, look.
Please forgive me, Rama, but.
I don't recognise this jewellery!
I have only seen
Mother Sita's feet till now.
[gloomy music playing]
Rama, I can only recognise her feet.
I never dared to talk to her
looking her in the eye.
I don't know about other jewellery
but since I touched her feet daily,
I'm confident
that the anklet belongs to Mother Sita.
[mellow music playing]
I empathise with your pain.
I'm also suffering
the pain of estrangement from my wife and her abduction.
Please don't cry.
I'm sure
we have crossed each other's paths to fulfil a goal.
[melancholic music playing]
[Ravana chanting mantra]
[vocalising]
I welcome you to my sanctum sanctorum
of knowledge.
Please come
and sit down.
[dramatic music playing]
I earned this treatise
and knowledge
with hard work.
I'm the most knowledgeable person who has studied the vedas,
puranas, and shastras.
I'm so knowledgeable
that even Lord Brahma would hesitate
before debating with me.
Knowledge is something
which turns the ordinary into extraordinary.
I performed intense penance
and turned my knowledge into my weapon.
I called you here
because you hail from the land of knowledge, Mithila.
You will be able to judge
my intelligence and knowledge.
Now tell me.
Is your Rama as knowledgeable as me?
Does your forest dweller Rama
have an ounce of knowledge
as against the sea of knowledge I possess?
Am I not better
than that forest dweller?
[intense music plays]
You were reading Rig-Veda, right?
Then you must have read this 'shloka'.
O, scholar!
'Yatha nadi, parvat shilashu.'
'Parakarmi tamam vichhindati.'
Of course, I have.
Section two,
chapter 41,
17th 'shloka'.
'O, scholar!'
'Yatha nadi, parvat shilashu.'
'Parakarmi tamam vichhindati.'
'Tathaiva vidvan, swa-budhhya'
'evam'
'pauranik kathanani'
'pracharkaani...'
[sweeping music playing]
'Janashayati.'
Why did you stop?
Please complete the 'shloka'.
'Shisht vachne,'
'uddat karunacha striya pranmama iti.'
You read the 'shloka'
but failed to understand its meaning.
Let me tell you
its meaning.
"O, scholar! The way a river's fast current"
"destroys huge hills"
"and mammoth mountains,"
"in the same way, a woman's knowledge"
"is capable of negating lies"
"and all kinds of illusions."
"We must be compassionate and bow down to such women"
"gracefully."
[sinister music plays]
You read it all.
That's laudable
but you failed to imbibe the virtues.
That's regretful.
Knowledge isn't just about reading books
but practising them in real life.
Even though you are knowledgeable,
you are full of ignorance,
arrogance, and unrighteous conduct.
On top of that,
you compare yourself to my Shri Rama!
Knowledge without intelligence and character is nothing.
My Shri Rama's character
is dignified
and his brain
is comparable to Lord Brahma.
He uses his knowledge
for righteousness and justice.
On the other hand, you arrogantly
murder righteousness and justice!
So your knowledge is of no use!
[dramatic music playing]
You are mistaking my confidence
for arrogance.
When a rakshasa like me
didn't have anything,
I had confidence.
This world didn't give me anything.
I earned everything
with force.
'Veer bhogya vasundhara!'
"This land serves the brave."
"Only they can"
"reap the fruits of the land."
It's mentioned in the shastras.
Ravana, who is considered brave?
The one
who wins
with his courage, effort, and hard work.
And not with deceit and illusion.
Deceptive people reach their goal
by wishing.
However, brave people
achieve their goals with their karma.
As per Yajurveda,
'He, shuddha, ashirwad dayani,'
'papata anaetikaat pradushnat cha,'
'sarwan shudhim kuru.'
'Mithya tah devashaata irshyayaha'
'kunthanaama cha. Shuddhim kuru.'
It means, "O, pious and blessed woman!"
"Please free us from our sins, the impurity in our heart"
"and body and our unjust wishes."
"Please keep us away"
"from frustration, lies, despise, and jealousy."
And you
tried to disgrace
the destroyer of sin and indignity.
You abducted me
because you are jealous of Rama and despise human beings!
As per Manusmriti,
deities reside at the place
where women are worshipped.
While you are
disrespecting a woman.
[tense music plays]
Ravana, Kaal will cause havoc here.
It's believed
that we must attain knowledge from every source.
Let me give you some knowledge today.
Return me to my Shri Rama!
Apologise to him.
He'll surely spare your life.
[dramatic vocalising]
Ravana, the countdown has begun.
Because my Shri Rama
is coming soon!
