Until my Lord summons me,
I won't talk to him.
However, my pain won't stop me
from revering my deity.
Please help me now.
I must protect Ayodhya.
I can't let Ayodhya be harmed!
Let's go.
Wait a second.
"Let's go!"
Listen to me.
If you want to help,
you may do that alone.
As it is, you've taken on the onus of protecting Ayodhya.
Please excuse me this time.
[sighing] Let me rest.
My waist is hurting.
Please let me rest.
I can rest at my home...
I mean at Bholenath's temple.
Please accompany me.
Chote, please leave.
I need to rest as I have a sore waist.
Go on. [grunting]
[amusing music playing]
"Banishment?"
Yes, Rama.
The royal physician, Falgun, was banished from Ayodhya
many years ago.
This happened
only a few years after my marriage to His Majesty.
Back then, there was
a fierce battle between the deities and the asuras in Ayodhya.
It was catastrophic.
His Majesty went to war
to fulfil his royal duty.
He took me along upon my request.
We fought on the battlefield together.
My mother is truly valorous.
We must have defeated the asuras.
Yes.
We won the war.
However, we lost
many brave soldiers in the war.
When His Majesty turned to me after the victory,
I was already unconscious.
And when I woke up...
'Your Majesty.'
'What is all this, Your Majesty?'
[ethereal music playing]
'Queen Kaikeyi,'
'you are the reason'
'Ayodhya is victorious today.'
'Although everyone is praising me,'
'it's you who truly deserves the credit.'
'You've made Ayodhya proud today'
'and upheld my valour.'
'This is the reason I brought you these gifts.'
'Your Majesty, that was my duty.'
'I don't need gifts.'
'Really?'
'Are you refusing to accept my gifts?'
'No, Your Majesty.'
'I didn't mean to say that.'
'Your Highness,'
'if you won't accept my gifts,'
'let me give you'
'Raghukul's greatest gift.'
'It's considered the most sacred in the Ikshvaku dynasty.'
'I, Dasharatha, the king of Ayodhya'
'and descendant of Raghukul,'
'grant my wife Kaikeyi'
'two wishes as gifts!'
'You may ask for these wishes'
'on any day'
'or at moment'
'you choose!'
[title music playing]
[title song playing]
[title song continues playing]
[title song concludes]
After His Majesty granted me those wishes,
I was consumed by arrogance.
I was so enraged because...
What had happened, Mother?
When the royal physician failed to fulfil his responsibility
of treating the wounded soldiers.
The royal physician, Falgun,
was performing a ritual.
Even though our kingdom was going through a difficult time,
he continued his 'puja'.
The shastras say
that the foremost duty of a physician
is to alleviate the suffering of people.
Just because he was busy with his own religious ritual,
many soldiers died,
and many others were disabled.
The royal physician had completely forgotten his duties.
This is why I didn't just remove him
from his royal position, but also
banished him from the kingdom.
Mother, why are you repenting that?
You didn't commit a crime.
Your action was justified
because your reasons were valid.
But, Mother, we can't make a decision right now
without knowing the truth.
First, we must ascertain
if this poison
was prepared by the royal physician, Falgun,
or by someone else.
If someone else
used Falgun's formula
to make this poisonous medicine
and help Tataka,
then Hanuman was right.
Either fear
or vengeance is the root cause
of this conspiracy.
- My friend, is everything fine? - Yes, Hanuman. Everything's fine.
No one would dare enter Ayodhya as long as you're here.
You both can take a dinner break
while I guard the gates.
Okay.
[mellow music playing]
'Hail Shri Rama!'
[devotional music playing]
"Rama! Rama!"
'Hanuman, I promise'
'to find the answer to your question.'
'Shri Rama can't refuse to meet me.'
'Neither did I mishear him nor am I lying.'
'Hanuman, he refused to meet you.'
'Hanuman.'
No, Hanuman.
Until Shri Rama calls me,
I must stand my ground.
I shouldn't get swayed by my love for my Lord.
'Hanuman!'
Lord!
That's my Lord's voice.
'Hanuman.'
Oh, no.
The heart often misguides the mind.
'Hanuman, you aren't imagining. It's real.'
Does it mean my Lord is calling my name?
But where is he?
Lord!
Lord, where are you?
Lord!
'Hanuman!'
'This side, Hanuman.'
'I'm on this side.'
Lord!
My Lord called me from this side.
But why can't I see him?
Is he in danger?
As it is,
evil forces are attacking Ayodhya non-stop.
This way, Hanuman!
I'm right here.
I'm coming, Shri Rama!
[wind whooshing]
The voice was coming from this side.
[smoke hissing]
[chortling]
- [smoke hissing] - [chortling]
Well done, Falgun's son.
First, you weakened all of Ayodhya,
and now Hanuman.
Asuras!
[sweeping music playing]
[grunting]
Let go! Let go of me.
Dispatch soldiers in all directions
and search for Physician Falgun,
so we can find the antidote to this disease.
Don't come back without finding him.
Send any information
you receive directly to me.
What's the matter, Physician?
Why do you
appear stressed?
Yes, Physician.
Please tell us.
What has happened?
Your Highness, I'm both scared
and embarrassed while saying this.
The speed at which the people of Ayodhya
are being infected by this disease
leads us physicians to think
that, if we don't obtain the antidote
to this disease within the next two 'praharas',
none of them will survive!
All the affected people
will die, one by one!
[thunder rumbling]
Go on, son.
Complete your revenge.
Cut this insolent vanara into so many pieces
that even his own family won't recognise him.
[suspenseful music playing]
Don't be scared, son.
He has been rendered unconscious by the medicine
given to him by Falgun's son.
This vanara is helpless.
[ominous vocalising]
[grunting]
Mother, this is why I was hesitating.
This vanara is full of deception.
Impossible. My medicine can't fail.
This is impossible.
The power of devotion
can make the impossible possible!
My friend, it overcomes every conspiracy.
Your medicine can't make me unconscious.
Do you know why?
Because I've been blessed by the deities.
Lord Brahma Himself
granted me the boon of invincibility.
Even 'halahala' can't harm me.
What did you think?
Did you really think
you could deceive me by imitating my deity?
Is my devotion a joke?
I fooled you all.
Both my Lord's image
and his voice are etched deep within me.
My Lord summons his Hanuman
using words and his heart!
I wanted to give you
a fitting reply as Shri Rama's devotee,
but when you mentioned "medicine",
I instantly knew you'd bring me here.
This is why I put on an act.
'Well done, Falgun's son.'
'First, you weakened all of Ayodhya,'
'and now Hanuman.'
If you don't want me to give you a taste
of my devotion to my deity,
give me the antidote to that poison.
Even if we give you the medicine,
I can't let you go back alive, vanara!
My power
surpasses the effectiveness
of this poisonous medicine!
[dramatic music playing]
[rubble breaking]
Now show the power of your devotion,
foolish vanara!
Hail Shri Rama!
- [conch shell playing] - [theme song playing]
[theme song playing]
[thunder breaking]
Falgun's son,
please escape with the antidote!
I'll deal with this deceptive vanara!
[thunder breaking]
Hail Your Highness!
Soldier, did you find the whereabouts of Physician Falgun?
O, Mahadeva. What do we do now?
It's already dawn.
Once this 'prahara' is over...
[suspenseful music playing]
Kausalya, although it's dawn,
Rama hasn't lost hope.
His hopefulness
has dispelled the darkness within me.
Kaikeyi,
where are you going?
I'm going to meditate in the River Sarayu!
[thunder rumbling]
[groaning]
Today I must risk my life
to save Ayodhya!
[thunder rumbling]
What are you saying, Kaikeyi?
Sumitra, I'm right.
I'm responsible for this epidemic.
If I hadn't banished the royal physician, Falgun, in anger,
Ayodhya wouldn't be suffering like this.
Kaikeyi,
think about Bharata.
How could you abandon your son?
You can't go.
Kausalya, please don't stop me today.
[thunder rumbling]
[growling]
Hanuman, you can't escape this deceptive arrow!
Its power will blow you into pieces!
[thunder breaking]
[dramatic music builds and fades out]
