'The Pandavas did not want to kill Hidimb.'
'He was a mere milestone..'
'..where they left Bheem with Hidimb.'
'But Hastinapur, caught in its problems..'
'..is standing still where it was.'
'There is only Vidur who is pride to the future.'
'That's why he carries the weight..'
'..of the future on his shoulders.'
Uncle! Greetings!
Please be seated.
I have not come here to sit.
- Greetings, Grandsire! - My blessing to you.
Please ask your husband..
..and tell me where the Pandavas are.
Why don't you ask me that?
Yes but you refuse to tell me.
You keep telling me that they are safe.
I want to know where they are. And don't tell me about politics.
I have taught you politics.
You taught me ideal politics.
But this is not the age of idealism.
One has to do a lot to protect ideals.
The politics you taught me..
..did not say anything about the house of wax.
I haven't come to the minister's house.
I have come to Vidur to ask where the Pandavas are?
At Ekchakranagri.
Prepare for my journey to Ekchakranagri.
As a minister I would do it.
However, as Vidur I will oppose it.
If people come to know where the Pandavas are..
..my efforts will be wasted.
Then promise to keep me informed.
As you wish.
But what are they doing there?
God bless you.
God bless you. God bless you.
God bless you.
Give alms!
"Time is all powerful."
"Makes everyone dance to its tune."
"Even the Pandavas are forced to ask for.."
"..alms from door to door."
"Alms from door to door."
May God bless you.
Please give alms!
May God bless you.
What are you thinking?
After a long time I experienced happiness in your house.
I was thinking of the past.
What is happiness?
It is a sweet meat.
Then, give it to me to eat.
You have it.
Where?
In your sweet talk.
Then, you too eat it.
He's very talkative.
Father has come. Mother!
Mother! Father has come.
I'll be back.
Help your aunt to clean the rice.
If she does that, then what will I do?
I'll go first. I'll go first.
Father.
What was my son doing?
Giving sweets to aunt.
Where did you get these sweets?
My words are sweet, aren't they?
Where's your sister?
- With aunt. - Okay.
Greetings, mother. We have brought alms.
Distribute it amongst yourselves.
You always say that, mother.
But without brother Bheem.
There's no fun in distributing food.
There's no scarcity of food there or else he would be back by now.
It has been quite some time. He should have returned by now.
He must be well fed
You tease him a lot.
I wouldn't have tease him if he was not fond of me.
Why were you born so early, my child?
Do you know what your birth means?
Your arrival means time for your father to leave.
What's going on between mother and son?
I was telling him it is time for his father to leave.
Yes. That's true.
Will you take your son away?
You have a greater right over him.
A mother has a greater right over the son.
It is she who nurtures him
You are saying that in spite of being a man?
Yes. And I am saying that because I have seen a mother's love.
And I have got lots of love from my mother.
It's the purest form of love.
A mother's love is all encompassing.
It can wipe every gloom.
It can wipe every grief.
There is nothing greater than a mother's love in this universe.
Even if God were to be born as a human..
..he would crave for mother's love.
A child needs a mother's love just like a plant needs land.
I cannot seize my son's mother from him.
Mother!
Bheem!
- Bheem! - Greeting!
My blessings.
Come son.
- Greetings, brother! - Greetings!
Welcome!
Your plate is waiting for you
The plate can wait. Let him have a bath first.
Brother must have already had a bath.
Today we will really enjoy our meal after a long time.
But it doesn't seem as if brother Bheem has been fed well.
Quiet. You take a bath, Bheem.
Mother, if you feed me. Why do I need to bathe?
Okay. Come. Come.
- Come. - Come.
What happened? Why are you worried?
Let's go in.
Cry softly. Do you want our guests to hear?
Brother.
That's the only problem with her.
A small thing and she starts crying.
You are hiding something. You gave us refuge in your house.
Your happiness is our happiness. Your sorrow is our sorrow.
This is not sorrow but bad luck.
I have often told her there's no need to stay here.
Let's go somewhere else.
But she did not listen to me.
What we always feared has at last happened.
What's happened?
She always told me the same things.
Your ancestors have lived here. So should you.
I say the same thing today. Allow me to go instead of you.
Don't repeat the same thing, 'Allow me to go.'
'I won't allow you to go.'
While marrying you I had sworn to protect you from danger.
You have spent a lifetime with me given birth to my children..
..and looked after them.
I cannot separate them from their mother.
I'll go and that's final.
I have a duty towards you and the children. I must do my duty.
What about my duty towards you?
Your duty does not mean giving up your life for me.
Why this talk of sacrificing lives?
One minute, aunt.
I want to ask my parents something.
Towards you, my brother.. and this house don't I have a duty?
If yes then you cannot decide alone. I'll go.
No. I'll not brought you up to be killed.
Have you brought me up to desert you.. in times of need?
That is not my duty as a daughter.
A daughter has to be given away some time.
So, give me away to the God of death.
No! You are not ours.
You are God's gift to us, which has to be given to someone.
You are a life-giver.
Sacrificing you is like killing a generation.
I cannot do that to save myself.
Look at it this way.
The demon Bakkasur needs one person a week to eat.
You represent an entire generation.
Then I will go, I'll kill the demon.
Brother, tell me what is.. your problem?
Who is Bakkasur and what does he want?
Bakkasur is a demon who lives outside the city.
Thirteen years ago he won this city from the king.
The king ran away and we were left to suffer the demon.
Since then whenever he is hungry he comes here..
..and takes persons from here to eat.
Then we made a deal with him..
..we will supply a good meal every week..
..and along with a human sacrifice.
He agreed to this offer.
Every week we leave a good meal..
..and a human outside his cave.
This week it is our turn.
There isn't a single warrior..
..in this ill-fated city who will fight this menace..
..and save us from Bakkasur.
When.. the king himself has run away? Who will protect us?
When the king is weak and a coward the people should forget happiness..
..because marriage, social life..
..and family happiness is possible only when the king is strong.
I cannot sacrifice my wife or children.
So, I have to go.
You forgot about my five sons.
Impossible. I cannot do that. You are my guests.
This house has given us refuge.
Is it not our duty to protect it..like our own house?
- But. - But what?
God has given me five sons..
Even if one is killed I'll still have four sons..
But the house will suffer without the head.
This is my own experience.
Children should not be orphaned because then they will face bad days.
Therefore, it is important for you to live.
Tomorrow, my son will go to the demon.
'In Ekchakranagri, Kunti's decision to..'
'..send one of her sons..'
'..in place of the Brahmin..'
'..to Bakkasur is a significant one.'
'Kunti's decision is the foundation of life's ideals.'
'It is the duty of the guests..'
'..to protect the house..'
'..which has given them refuge.'
'Kunti's decision gave a new dimension to the meaning of 'guest'.
'The guest, too, is a part of the house..'
'..and like every other member of the family..'
'..it is his duty to protect it.'
'India's cultural history..'
'..will always salute Kunti for her decision.'
'But it is also true..'
'..that such a decision.'
'Should not be taken alone..'
'..even if it is by someone like Kunti.'
Yudhishthir. What are you thinking?
Isn't it my duty as a guest to help these people?
Isn't it your duty as warriors to protect..
..society from danger and free it from it?
It's not that, mother.
Both your arguments are correct.
It is the duty of the guest to protect..
..his benefactor and his house.
If the house catches fire..
..will the guest escape the flames..
..just because he is a guest?
Will you accept to what he said?
If not that is why I agree that your decision was correct.
The duty of the warrior is also clear.
He should do his utmost to protect his benefactor from all dangers.
Then what are you thinking?
I was thinking as the eldest I should have gone.
How can I ask a younger brother to endanger himself?
I should go to this demon with the food.
But how did you not remember me?
I salute your motherhood..
..but regret that you thought of Bheem in this moment of danger.
You assumed that I would not be hurt by your decision.
I don't have any right to sacrifice you..
..because you are not only my son but also the Crown Prince.
You belong to Hastinapur.
I cannot sacrifice you..
..or I'll have to face Hastinapur.
Then this honour should be mine because I am the youngest.
What are you saying?
When your elder brother is still there, how can you go?
Neither you nor Nakul can go.
Either I'll take the meal to Bakkasur or Bheem will.
You cannot go.
This is mother's decision and she has chosen me to go.
If mother says Bheem will go, then Bheem will go.
You did not answer me, mother.
Why can't I go and become a meal for Bakkasur?
Can I say something?
I am not merely the second son..
..just as you are not only the eldest.
- I am indebted to my brothers. - How come, Bheem?
From the beginning I have been eating your share of food.
If I have a right to half the food..
..then I have a right to half the dangers.
Does anyone have an answer to what I say?
Another thing.
How did you assume that Bakkasur would eat me the moment I go.
This is an insult, mother!
Brother..
..the alms that we get do not satisfy me.
Huge quantities are cooked for Bakkasur.
Allow me to satisfy my hunger.
Okay, fine. You may go. Return victorious.
Citizens, accept this gift of mine..
..to protect this city.
Thank you.
You must be tired of pulling this weight.
So, it becomes my duty to lighten this load.
Besides, I am a little hungry.
Bakkasur is not going to weight the food. Let me eat a little.
Both of you eat the juicy leaves in the forest.
Why hasn't my food come as yet? I'll eat everyone.
I'll have my revenge.
I'll eat everyone in the city.
Who are you?
Why are you eating my food?
Wait for a minute. Let me finish eating this.
The food is very tasty.
Even you seem very tasty. Plenty of meat on you.
We should not have come this way at night.
Bakkasur stays nearby.
- Yes. - Yes.
- He has terrorised Ekchakranagri. - Yes.
- Who's this? - This is Bakkasur.
- Bakkasur! - Bakkasur!
Bakkasur is dead!
Listen friends, Bakkasur is dead. Let's tell the citizens. Let's go.
Let's go. Bakkasur is dead! Bakkasur is dead!
We should organize a ritual worship. Lord Shiva has favoured us.
That's necessary. We should also honour those who have freed us.
That, too, is right.
It is now our responsibility to look after the family.
Yes.
Whose turn was it?
The Brahmin's family.
Let's honour them. Let's go.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
- Let's go. Let's go. - Yes. Let's go. Hurry up!
Teach me how to fight.
- Or else I will fight you. - No. You are a Brahmin.
Even you are a son of a Brahmin. Teach me or fight.
Teach me or be killed.
He cannot fight you, my child.
Why?
You will defeat him. You are stronger than Bakkasur.
You are a human, my son.
You are the strongest.
Man is a representative of the Lord himself.
Who can be more powerful than him?
Do not misuse your power.
They must be at home.
- Brahmin has done a good job by killing Bakkasur. - Son.
Listen all are coming towards this house.
Father they are coming towards us.
Yes. Let me see.
Son Yuddhishthir.
It's time to leave Ekchakranagri.
You are right, mother. If we stay here we will be recognised.
Priest! Priest!
Panditji, greetings! Congratulation!
Tell me the reason of this congratulation?
Don't behave as if you don't know anything.
I really did not understand.
How can I accept somebody else's congratulations?
A person like you has saved us from Bakkasur.
So we have the right to congratulate you.
I know the reason of your coming. But I did not kill Bakkasur.
Again the same thing.
I am telling you the truth.
So he killed himself and his dead body was lying near the door.
No. This work is done by one of my guest.
You mean to say that among the four brothers.
No, it is done by the fifth son.
This means he must have the God's power to kill Bakkasur.
Call all the five brothers with their mother.
We will take their blessings.
Sure.
- Dear. - Coming.
- Dear! - Yes, tell me.
Call them. The citizens want to congratulate them.
They have gone.
Gone? Where?
They refused to tell me.
When I insisted, they said killing Bakkasur was not our life's aim.
Had Yuddhishthir not insisted we would still be in the city.
Yes, why do you ask?
The citizens would have organized a feast..
..and we would be eating heartily.
Take the efforts and you feast.
Mother has spoilt you.
No, brother. He is the youngest.
When you were with Hidimba he used to be sad.
Without you he said the food was tasteless.
I could not digest the food.
Am I a pill that improves your digestion?
How can anyone enjoy his food when he is unhappy?
Everyone was unhappy when you were not there.
Because we were living on alms..
..and you were eating two square meals.
Okay. The Sun is about to set.
Let us all camp here.
As you wish, mother.
Nakul, get some dry wood. So that I can prepare dinner.
Yes, mother.
How long will we wander like this?
Wait for things to change in Hastinapur.
Things will not change on their own.
We will have to change it.
Give it a chance to change on its own.
"The seasons change on time."
"The time is very near."
"Luck will give it a change."
"Have faith in the Lord."
