(Ravan) How I miss you, my son.
The stone is cold.
As is my heart.
The sun no longer dares shine in my presence.
You were destined to be the king of the world,
and now this statue is all that remains to honour you.
(melancholic music)
(sighs)
But you have noble company.
Other great heroes who gave their lives
for Lanka.
For me.
I wonder, Kumbhakaran,
do you keep my son entertained with your tales?
The battles you and I fought when we were young,
not burdened by crowns or kingdoms?
I miss those days. I miss you, brother.
And you, Akshay.
You often said,
you never spent any time with Indrajit.
Now you have your brother's company forever.
Now Ahiravan will be joining you.
But be cautious.
I imagine he's still plotting, even in death.
The four of you...
together at last! (laughs)
Feasting and sharing great tales.
I wish I was there.
Save a place at the table for me, my sons.
Perhaps I shall join you soon.
(title song)
(Ram) Ravan has taken to the battlefield.
He has already slaughtered countless brave vaanars.
We must stop him.
- Where is he? - He could be anywhere.
Our scouts give conflicting reports.
He strikes and disappears.
Moments later, he is destroying another battalion
on the opposite side of the battlefield.
The scouts also reported something else.
That Ravan...
has changed.
Changed?
How?
(Ram sighs)
They were too terrified to explain any more.
This is our chance to hunt him down and finish this.
We should split up across the battlefield to find him.
If we separate,
Ravan will be able to pick us off one by one.
Brother, please, it's a risk we have to take.
Fine.
We will split up, but you will signal us as soon as you find him.
You are not to face Ravan alone.
Facing him together is the best chance we have.
May the gods protect you all, my brothers.
(fire crackles)
(wind whooshes)
(intense music)
(growling)
So, you have come alone. As it should be.
(wind whooshes)
(footsteps approach)
I am starting to understand why Sita gave you her heart.
In the end, you are a warrior.
- A survivor. A killer. Just like me. - (sword swishes)
Yet, you are still just a man.
You stink of mortality and death.
Your time in the world is so brief, so worthless.
I have seen kingdoms rise and fall.
Yet only I remain while they're all in ruin.
And Sita will walk beside me.
I will destroy the gods to give her immortality if need be.
(thud)
She will rule with me, endless and eternal.
Don't you see? I am the one saving her...
from you.
Think, human prince.
What will you give her?
Old age? Suffering? Death?
Love.
I give Sita my love.
And she gives me hers.
And love is beyond even immortality, Demon King.
Because great as you are,
all I see is the emptiness in your eyes,
the hollowness in your heart, Ravan.
The years have no meaning, so life has no meaning.
You've become like these rocks. Unchanging, unfeeling.
Yes, we mortals have brief lives,
but they are intense ones.
We find the eternal not through endless life,
but through connecting deeply with the world and people around us.
We feel, Ravan. We love.
You've lost all joy. Nothing is new anymore.
But I will give you the gift
of one final new experience, Demon King.
What's that?
(bow screeches)
Death.
Come and try, boy.
(grunts)
(bow screeches)
(explodes)
(bow screeches, explodes)
(grunts)
(intense music)
(pants)
There's a universal truth
that guides us all, Ravan.
The law of karma.
Every action has its consequences.
(arrow swishes)
(explodes)
(arrows swish)
Karma, destiny... these are excuses for the weak.
I make my destiny, child. I am not a puppet of fate.
Do you not see the world is more than just black and white?
There are shades of grey in every action,
every decision.
True wisdom lies in choosing the path of dharma.
Our actions must align with cosmic balance.
(laughs)
Cosmic balance?
You speak like a sage, yet wield a warrior's weapon.
Sometimes, to restore balance, one must fight.
(bow screeches)
(thuds)
(grunts)
(rock clatters)
(grunts)
(metal clanks)
(grunts)
(intense music)
(thud)
Do you feel that cold? It's unnatural.
Yes. It's the presence of Ravan.
His shadow has entered the battlefield. It chills even the warmth of the sun.
He has become darkness incarnate.
(thudding)
(explosions)
The earth is shaking, Hanuman! What's causing it?
What else but Ram and Ravan's battle?
(epic music)
(growling)
(metal clanks)
(grunts)
(metal clanks)
(grunts)
(thud)
(explodes)
(metal clanks)
(grunts)
(explodes)
(screams)
(rumbling)
I must help my brother.
Wait! We must go together.
(thud)
- (pants) - (metal clanks)
(epic music)
(bow screeches)
(explodes)
(grunts)
(explodes)
(thudding, rumbling)
Can it be... over?
My Prince!
The entire world seemed to shake! I came as quickly as I could.
You have brought down half a mountain.
But was it enough to bury Ravan?
My brother is under this?
No. It won't be enough to hold him.
(thud)
Vibeesha--
(grunts)
(pants)
Good.
But not good enough.
(metal clanks)
(grunts)
(gasps)
This was only ever going to end one way.
No!
I curse you for your treachery, Vibheeshan.
Please don't make me do this. I don't want to fight you, brother.
Fight? This will hardly be a fight.
(metal clanks)
(epic music)
(weapons clanks)
(grunts)
You are a poet, Vibheeshan.
But at least you'll now die like a warrior.
Look at what you have become without me.
A worm who crawls at Ram's feet.
(thud)
How father loved you so.
His little sage.
What would he say now if he saw you? I wonder.
You were once a brother of Ravan.
Now you die following a human.
How low you have fallen.
I free you from this pitiful life. Die now!
No!
(arrow swishes)
(metal clanks)
(flesh squelches)
(groans)
(whimpers)
I can hear the flutter of a gnat's wings in Dev Loka, boy.
I heard you coming from miles away.
(wind whooshing)
You were good bait
to catch a fish, worm.
Now crawl back to your new master.
For you, my son. You are avenged, Indrajit.
I hope this brings you peace.
Peace?
There is no peace.
(arrow electrifies)
(metal clanks)
(arrows swish)
(exploding)
(grunts)
(thud)
(arrow swishes)
(explodes)
Lakshman?
(vibrates)
(epic music)
(pants)
You have taken my brothers and sons,
and still, I fight on.
How does it feel? What will you do, now that your brother's dead?
I wonder. Will you still enjoy the great feeling of being mortal?
I think you will break, Ram.
The sun sets.
Today's battle is over.
(wind whooshing)
(grunts)
(epic music)
(melancholic music)
(sighs)
Spend these last hours you have with your brother.
For the astra I used on him will ensure his death
when the sun rises next in Lanka's sky.
(arrows clatter)
So you see it is I who will give you a gift, Ram.
Time...
to say goodbye.
Time...
I was never given with my sons.
(melancholic music)
No, it cannot be.
(sobbing)
We are part of a whole, brother.
How can I exist without you?
Take my energy,
my life... everything is yours.
Please... please just wake up.
I feel the faintest flutter of life.
He clings on, though his grip is weak.
There is still a chance, Hanuman!
The astra energy Ravan used can be counteracted by only one herb
that grows in the Dronagiri mountain.
But you must be quick.
You must bring the Sanjeevani herb.
I will find it. I promise.
Wait for me, my friend.
(epic music)
Be quick, Hanuman, or all is lost.
