Father, I'm more capable than Tarakaksh
and have more experience.
Yet you chose him for the battle and not me.
Because he's my loving son
but you
are my heir, Vidyunmali.
I can't put your life in danger.
[music playing]
'When a father becomes his son's enemy'
'nobody can save him.'
[music playing]
[song playing]
[rattling]
The door is opening. Stay alert!
[neighing]
Attack!
We must not use our weapons before them.
[music playing]
According to the rulebook, before war
if there's a possibility to make peace
then we must give it a chance.
'It's good that he's not leading us.'
'He's a kid. He has no experience of battling with demons.'
'He is clueless about how evil they can be.'
'They can never make peace.'
[music playing]
[neighing]
I'm not interested in a war.
You heard me right.
The demons believe that war is not needed.
Don't you want Swargalok, Lord Indra?
We are ready to make peace.
We will return Swargalok to you.
I promise on behalf of all the demons
that we will let everyone live in peace hereafter.
We have only one condition.
[music playing]
Hand over Kartikeya to us.
[music playing]
Tarakasur is trying to be smart.
The army of gods will never let their chief
be handed over to the enemy.
This is foolishness!
Or maybe a smart strategy.
What if Lord Indra gets greedy for Swargalok
and lets our son...
Will we hand over Kartikeya in exchange for Swargalok?
[music playing]
It's not a bad proposition
if you see it through your wicked prism.
Did you forget that he is the chief of our army?
He is the pride of our army.
That's how foolish demons can be!
[music playing]
For this humiliation
my weapon will take revenge.
- [screams] - Wait! Don't get so angry!
[music playing]
Their proposition is not so bad
to reject it without a thought.
[music playing]
When Tarakasur is inviting his death
then why must I stop myself?
[music playing]
If I deal with him directly, there will be no bloodshed
and this war will come to an end.
'What is going on in Kartikeya's mind?'
What are you saying, Kartikeya?
We are not here to surrender, but fight.
Anyway, I can't risk your life.
You won't be able to deal with him alone, Kartikeya.
[music playing]
By making this proposition, you have proved that
you deserve neither peace nor forgiveness.
[music playing]
Get ready to face our wrath.
Attack!
Wait for us here, Kartikeya.
One unit will stay back to protect the chief.
The rest will follow me.
[screams]
'These fools believe that'
'we're afraid of them.'
'But we have a different plan.'
[music playing]
[screams]
Gods, we have been successful in destroying the doorway.
We will surely win.
Move towards the palace.
[screams]
What's happening, Lord Indra?
The demons have trapped us in their illusion.
Kartikeya is on the battlefield with a few soldiers.
[music playing]
Lord, what will happen now?
What will happen?
[music playing]
How can this be possible?
[music playing]
[laughs]
Are you surprised?
Such a huge
doorway got destroyed, isn't it?
In reality, Chief
there was no doorway here.
It was our trap of illusion.
This was my trap
in which Lord Indra
that arrogant one got easily trapped.
Our plan became successful.
[music playing]
Now, surrender yourself, Kartikeya.
There's nobody to save you.
[laughs]
Tarakasur used his illusionary powers.
The gods are trapped in his illusion, Lord.
[music playing]
Against such a powerful demon
my son is standing alone.
I have to do something.
[music playing]
What are you doing, Goddess?
A mother's duty
of protecting her son.
A mother's duty is not only to protect.
It is also her duty to teach self-defence.
You're aware
that when a plant gets more shade than required
it withers.
Similarly, for the development of the plant
sunlight is as important
as shade.
[conch blows]
Goddess.
Have faith in your training and your son.
[song playing]
Wow, Father! What a plan!
The gods are trapped in our illusion.
On the other hand, Lord Shiva's son
is up against Tarakaksh.
You can't succeed by strength alone.
Devising a strategy
and using your strengths well makes you succeed.
Like we will succeed now.
We will defeat Lord Shiva's son.
[laughs]
[music playing]
'The Lord is so arrogant!'
'I'm feeling scared.'
What happened Kartikeya?
Are you feeling scared because your guards are trapped?
Don't worry.
Killing innocent lives in war
is something even I'm against.
Hence, if you're not scared
then come on
let's challenge
each other.
And with our strength
let's decide who wins the war.
[music playing]
'Why is my mother so worried?'
The army's job is not to protect its chief.
It is to fight the enemies.
The chief is responsible to guide the journey.
I accept your challenge.
Choose your weapon.
[laughs]
[music playing]
[chuckles]
Lord Shiva's son is so afraid.
Instead of attacking
he is defending Tarakaksh's blows.
[laughs]
'Tarakaksh's moves are futile.'
Your plan is succeeding.
The demon is getting tired.
Attack him suddenly and end the war.
[thudding]
Son!
[thudding]
[song playing]
'Kartikeya's martial skills are phenomenal.'
'But his biggest challenge awaits.'
'Tarakasur will come to avenge his son's death.'
[song playing]
