Ah!
I'm blessed to have
Anjana's son, Prince Maruti, bring me
my refreshment.
[straining]
This mace is truly heavy.
[clanking]
[whimpering]
I know I was unsuccessful,
but I'm still trying.
Prince, I'll soon think of a way
to kill Maruti.
His mother, Anjana,
counters all our attempts.
[snake hissing]
'Even though tears roll down one's cheek,'
'his mother, Anjana,'
'never lets him go out of her sight.'
[sinister music plays]
- [clanking] - [screaming]
I'm tired of your childish attempts over the last seven years!
I won't wait for the right moment now.
I'll forge
my own path.
[shrieking]
[screaming]
- Hail the vanaras! - All hail!
I want all the vanaras
to be fearless like this.
- Hail the vanaras! - All hail!
This is the solution!
- Hail the vanaras! - All hail!
Maruti, I'm sending you a gift.
It's death.
[shrieking]
[theme music playing]
[theme song playing]
[theme song concludes]
Hey!
How did the milk spill?
It's a beautiful
and majestic mace.
It's equally heavy.
Maruti, you must grow up
before you can pick it up.
How big? Should I grow as big as you?
You're really tall.
That will take a lot of time.
Son,
height, age, and position
have nothing to do with a person's greatness.
Hmm?
A courageous person can be considered great.
Do you understand?
Hmm. I understand.
If I become courageous, will I be able to pick up this mace?
Of course.
However, what is courage?
Where can we find it? Who can give it to me?
And how much does it cost?
My naive Maruti.
Son,
courage isn't an object.
It can't be bought.
It's a feeling inside us.
A person shows courage
when they shoulder responsibility.
Once a person becomes responsible,
they become courageous.
When a person becomes courageous,
it means they have attained everything!
Courage can make the impossible possible.
Do you understand, Maruti?
Hmm.
Can I get everything?
For instance?
For instance, a beautiful palace.
I already have it.
So, I don't need it.
Um.
Wealth!
Aunt Rasha says
that you're rich.
This means I don't need to be courageous.
No.
Maruti,
a person attains fame
through courage.
But Mother says that we attain fame
through good karma.
I understood!
I don't need courage for now.
Please tell me
what is required to pick this mace up.
You must learn the shastras
and train in weaponry to lift the mace.
How will I learn?
Will you teach me?
Today or tomorrow?
Before a meal or after it?
At this place or in the garden?
Gosh. Please stop, Maruti.
I can't teach you.
We must appoint a guru for that.
That will be wonderful!
Then I'll pick up the mace!
[chuckling]
How did it spill?
[chuckling]
[grunting]
[grumbling]
[screaming]
[groaning]
Come on, my horse! Clip-clop! Clip-clop!
Mother!
Look at my ride!
Come on, my horse! Clip-clop! Clip-clop!
My friend Kesari, Vriksharaja has called for a meeting.
We must leave as soon as possible.
"Friend?"
My friend, how long will you give Maruti a piggyback ride?
Let's give him a horse ride today.
Hmm. Sure.
[vocalising]
'Mother has warned us against crossing the boundary.'
Father, please stop!
Let me get down.
[amusing music playing]
Mother says
that I don't need to leave the palace.
But, Father,
your name is Sumeruraj Kesari.
Then why did he address you with another name?
What do you mean?
I don't understand.
He called you "friend".
[chuckling]
Maruti,
"friend" isn't a name.
It is a relationship.
Friendship is an honour.
Friends support each other during difficult times.
They show you the right path when you're confused.
And they celebrate with you
when you are happy.
They are known as friends.
It's great to be with friends.
You'll understand this emotion
when you make a friend.
[mellow music playing]
Let's go, my friend.
A friend plays,
talks, and celebrates with us.
We can even eat together.
Do both of you like to play?
- We love to play, Prince. - Great!
Starting today, both of you are my friends!
Did you agree to be my friends?
Right?
Let's have fun!
[moaning]
I won! I won again, my friends!
Prince, that's enough. We have played long enough.
My friend, where are you going?
Please stop!
I'm a guard.
Let me fulfil my duty.
No. You used to be a guard.
Now you're my friend.
Yes. But if the gate remains unattended,
Sumeruraj will punish me.
You wouldn't want your friend to be punished.
Hmm. You're right.
Where are you going, my friend?
My friend!
Stop!
No, Prince. I must fulfil my duty.
Why?
We hardly have visitors.
One guard is enough.
Please stay with me.
No, Prince. Not today. I can't stay.
I'm tired, Prince.
Friend!
[amusing music playing]
My friend!
Please hear me out.
Will you be my friend?
Will you play with me?
How can we, Maruti? We haven't yet finished our work.
We need to gather flowers for Devi Anjana.
Oh!
Let me help you.
Friendship means helping each other.
[joyful music playing]
I'm done.
Since I helped both of you complete your work,
you must now play with me
as my friends.
Let's play.
Where are you going?
Please stop!
Why are you leaving?
Please play with me.
Look over there!
They are the guards of our palace.
They proved to be so weak.
They were completely exhausted after playing with me.
Let's play together.
Yes, Rasha! I'll be there!
Yes, Rasha! I'm coming!
Aunt Rasha didn't call you.
Hey! Where are you going?
Please stop!
Why don't they play with me?
Everyone is busy.
But my mother said that I'm a complete being.
So, I'll play alone like always.
[clinking]
'Enter Kesari's house and end the life'
'of Maruti!'
[tapping]
Father has friends,
and my mother has them too.
Then why don't I have friends?
Let me ask Mother.
[amusing music playing]
What's the matter, Maruti?
Do you need something?
- Hmm? - Uh-uh!
Mother, I need a friend.
Someone to talk to, play and have fun with.
You are the Queen of Sumeru.
Please find a friend for me.
If you request them, they will listen to me
and be my friends.
I requested them all to be my friends,
but none of them agreed.
They ran away.
Please find me a friend.
Come to me.
We can neither find a friend
nor force someone to be one.
We get them by luck at the right time.
Father said that I must wait before I could pick up the mace,
and you're saying that friends are made at the right time.
When will I make a friend?
Son.
Hail Devi Anjana.
Maruti's teacher is here to teach him the shastras.
What? Really?
My father is great! He is great!
Father had said
that he'd send a guru to teach me the shastras and weaponry.
Mother, Father is great! He is truly great!
[exhilarating music playing]
'Where are you, little Maruti?'
'Look! Your death has come to you!'
Guru!
Greetings, Gurudev!
May you have a long life.
My mother says
that a guru can solve all problems.
I have just one problem.
I can't make friends.
I don't have a friend.
Will you be my friend?
What?
A guru teaches.
How can they be your friend?
Why can't they be?
My mother is both my mother
and my father's wife.
Then why can't a guru be a friend?
Is it mentioned in the shastras?
Or is it against the rules?
'I don't know if it's mentioned in the shastras.'
No. That can't be true.
Hmm.
Let me ask my mother.
Hey! Please stop.
It's possible.
You can befriend your guru.
But you just said...
I was simply testing you
- for your... - Determination!
Yes.
You're quite determined.
You can be my friend.
Thank you.
You are absolutely right.
Did you know I had decided to make a friend today?
Ultimately, I befriended my guru.
Please tell me, my friend.
What should I do?
Please go...
Shall I pick up this mace?
Yes! Pick up the mace.
Pick up a mace according to your size.
Hmm.
[comical music playing]
No. It's too small.
'I'm now invisible. So, I can easily kill him.'
Um.
No. Not this one.
Guru...
[suspenseful music playing]
My friend!
Where did my guru and friend go?
Guru!
Where are you, my friend?
Where did he go?
[ominous music plays]
This appears fine.
[dramatic music playing]
Hmm!
My friend is testing me.
First, he tested my determination.
Now, he wants to see if I get distracted or not.
He is playing hide-and-seek even before teaching me.
Maybe he is trying to teach me the shastras while playing games.
Guru, my friend!
My friend, where are you hiding?
Guru, my friend!
[suspenseful music playing]
My friend!
[wind whooshing]
My friend!
'Son, courage isn't an object.'
'It's a feeling inside us.'
[sweeping music playing]
'A person shows courage'
'when they shoulder responsibility.'
'Once a person becomes responsible,'
'they become courageous.'
'Courage can make the impossible possible.'
