If I don't get the answer
to Hanuman's question by sunset,
I may not be able to ease
Hanuman's pain,
but I vow to suffer like him.
I'll go away
from my mothers!
[thunder breaking]
I'll abandon
Ayodhya!
[voice echoing]
[voice continues echoing]
[grunting]
Narayana's avatar, Shri Rama, felt pressured
by Hanuman's threat
and made this unacceptable vow!
Who will stop him from making this mistake?
What's the matter, Brother Bhola? Is your mango sour?
[melancholic music playing]
My mango is delicious.
What happened, Brother Bhola?
It's the first time since we met
that I'm joyful
while you're worried.
Where are you going, Brother Bhola?
Please say something, Brother Bhola!
What happened to him all of a sudden?
[foreboding music plays]
[tense music plays]
- Rama! - [knocking on the door]
Son Rama! Please open the door, son!
Son, hear me out.
Rama!
Sumitra.
Rama, I, your mother, am calling you.
Rama, please open the door!
Rama, can you hear me?
Rama, it's your mother!
Open the door, Rama!
Rama, open the door!
Bharata, why are you going there?
You're supposed to go to your archery training.
Come on, you should go there.
Rama, please open the door!
Rama, please!
Please open the door, Rama!
Rama, open the door!
Rama, please open the door!
What is this new drama created by Rama?
Let me go and check.
Son, it's your mother here! Please open the door!
'Rama!'
'Rama, hear me out.'
Rama, please open the door.
Son, please open the door!
'Rama!'
- Rama... - Mother.
Rama, my son.
Son, please open the door.
'Please hear me out.'
Rama, removing your royal attire
and wearing saffron clothes
is inauspicious.
Mother,
I've merely removed my clothes.
Just think about the child
whose mother abandoned him.
His entire life
fell apart right in front of him.
Even his divine powers
and immense strength couldn't change
his destiny.
Mother, just spare a thought.
How broken he must be.
He endured grave suffering
to bring his mother back.
He has now pinned his hopes on me.
He's confident that I'll help him
find his mother.
And that I'll bring her back
without disobeying Lord Brahma's command.
[poignant vocalising]
Tell me something.
Is it right to break
Hanuman's trust in me?
I understand, son.
I see your point,
but what about the pain you're causing us
to ease Hanuman's suffering?
You removing your royal attire
and closing the temple doors
is making me anxious, son.
Son, please open the door just once
and come out.
Son, I promise
we'll find a solution together.
Yes, son.
Rama, please open the door!
- Rama, please open the door! - Son, open the door!
- Rama, open the door! - Rama, open the door!
Rama, your mother is asking you to open the door!
- Don't be stubborn! - Please get a grip on yourself.
Open the door!
[title music playing]
[title song playing]
[title song continues playing]
[title song concludes]
Rama, please open the door.
Son, we are all worried about you.
Rama, this is not done.
Son, don't be difficult. Stop this drama!
Son, please come out.
Please don't go astray in your attempt to find
a solution to Hanuman's problem.
Rama, open the door.
Open the door!
Mother,
I've simply removed my royal attire for now.
It's my vow to find the solution
to Hanuman's problem by sunset.
Otherwise,
I shall forsake Ayodhya!
[thunder cracking]
What are you saying, Rama?
Will you forsake Ayodhya?
Are you saying you'll forsake your mothers, brothers,
and your subjects?
This can't be true!
Rama, don't say that!
You can't do that, Rama!
Mother, I've made this vow
in front of Narayana.
Mother, I can't break
Raghukul's tradition.
"Fulfilling one's promise, even at the cost of one's life!"
I can't go
against this tradition.
Mother, I know
that my decision has hurt you.
I apologise to everyone
for that.
However, a Raghuvanshi
can never forsake his duty.
I must commit the grave sin of hurting my own mothers
to bring back
Hanuman's mother!
- [thunder breaking] - [lightning striking]
If I fail to bring Hanuman's mother back
even after all my sacrifices,
I don't deserve
to remain in Ayodhya!
[thunder breaking]
- Rama, please don't say that! Please come out! - Please come out!
Rama, don't say that. Please open the door!
Rama, please stop! Please open the door!
'All right!'
If you're unrelenting,
I too shall stand my ground.
If this door doesn't open,
I, Kausalya, your mother,
will lay down my life,
crying at its doorstep!
- [thunder rumbling] - [lightning crackling]
Kausalya!
Please get a grip on yourself.
[lightning striking]
I can't break
the tradition of Raghukul.
[song playing]
Brother Bhola!
Brother Bhola, where are you?
[mellow music playing]
- Greetings, my friend. - Greetings.
Did you see my elder brother?
Yes, he went that way.
Really?
Thank you!
Greetings, Lord Brahma.
Greetings, Mahadeva.
Brother Bhola!
Brother Bhola is strange.
Is he Bhola or Bholenath?
He keeps disappearing all the time.
Brother Bhola!
Lord Brahma, we're in a dilemma.
Narayana's vow
could bring devastation upon the world.
Narayana took an avatar
to destroy evil
and fill the world with righteousness.
If Shri Rama doesn't find a solution today,
it could lead to devastation.
Our plan to establish righteousness in the world will suffer a setback.
On top of it all,
Mother Kausalya too has made a vow.
Lord Brahma, very soon
Mother Kausalya's tears
may flood the River Sarayu.
[dramatic music playing]
- Save us! - [indistinct noise]
A mother
who gave birth to Narayana
is equivalent to Goddess Shakti.
And her tears could flood
the entire kingdom of Ayodhya!
Ayodhya
is the very epicentre of righteousness in this world.
Lord Brahma, if Ayodhya is destroyed,
the world will be doomed.
Rama!
[dramatic music playing]
[poignant vocalising]
Look, Lord Brahma.
Shri Rama is trying to find a way to help Hanuman find his mother.
He is unaware
that this truth can't be revealed to a human being.
Not even to Shri Rama,
for although he's Narayana's avatar,
he is still bound by his destiny as a human being.
However,
he won't break his vow,
come what may.
Mother Kausalya's non-stop tears
will now flood the River Sarayu.
If Rama
doesn't open the door,
let's break open the door!
- Yes, Mother! - Yes, Mother!
- We'll break open the door! - We'll break open the door!
Bharata,
you shouldn't have uttered such ominous words.
Will you break open the temple door
and violate the sanctity of the deity's abode?
Son, we can't sin like that.
Son, open the door.
Mother Kausalya,
we can't bear to see you in pain.
Please allow us.
Mother, please allow us.
Mother, please command us.
Mother, please order us.
Lakshmana.
Where are you going?
I'm going to bring
the one who can convince Rama.
[dramatic music playing]
[thunder cracking]
[screaming]
Where could Brother Bhola be?
Hanuman!
Oh, it's Lakshmana!
[intriguing music plays]
Lakshmana, what brings you here?
What's the matter? Did Shri Rama summon me before sunset?
Did my Lord find the answer?
Has he summoned me?
'You disrespected my brother'
'and me!'
'Just because you defeated an asura,'
'you think you're the greatest!'
'You proved that you're a vanara after all!
'Just leave! Ayodhya doesn't need your help!'
Hanuman, first of all, I apologise.
Yesterday, I yelled at you in anger.
Come on, Lakshmana.
I've already forgotten that.
I should apologise to you
because I can be stubborn at times.
Thank you, Hanuman.
Now listen to me carefully.
I need your help.
Ayodhya needs you.
We're in serious trouble.
[foreboding music plays]
'If I don't get the answer'
'to Hanuman's question by sunset,'
'I'll abandon Ayodhya!'
Shri Rama!
[voice echoing]
What?
Will Prince Rama abandon
Ayodhya, and us as well?
[intense music plays]
[parrot squawking]
[wind whooshing]
Suka, what's the news?
[grinning]
"News!"
I have good news.
Rama is ready to abandon Ayodhya,
and the River Sarayu
is about to flood.
In other words,
Ayodhya is on the brink of devastation.
What happened so suddenly?
Suka, please tell us the details.
Rama has vowed
to renounce Ayodhya
if he fails to lead Hanuman to his mother
by sunset.
He'll also renounce his family.
Amazing!
That's wonderful, Suka!
We asuras couldn't shake the foundation of righteousness,
but Hanuman hollowed it from within.
If this vanara had supported us,
we would have become
the most powerful beings in the entire world.
Now, the impossible will become possible.
Our Lord's dream
of conquering both shores
of the ocean
will soon be realised.
This 'prahara' will soon end,
and with today's sunset,
righteousness in Ayodhya
will also set.
[chortling]
'- Prince Rama! - Prince Rama!'
[intense music plays]
[intense vocalising]
Rama, please open it.
[sobbing] Rama!
[knocking on the door]
What happened, Kaikeyi?
What is this commotion?
Will you answer me?
[dramatic music playing]
[tense music plays]
Hanuman...
'Prince Rama!'
- Prince Rama! - Prince Rama!
Rama, did you hear them?
The subjects of Ayodhya are here to stop you.
Please open the door.
Son Rama, you shouldn't disappoint the subjects.
Rama, open the door. Rama!
Rama, please open the door.
'Shri Rama.'
'Shri Rama!'
[poignant vocalising]
Shri Rama, please forgive me.
Even knowing the sacred bond between a deity and his devotee,
I made a blunder.
Lord, a devotee shouldn't question
his deity's decisions.
A deity can never harm his devotee.
Lord, will you punish me
like this just because I was upset with you?
Really?
[poignant vocalising]
Hurting my deity's mother
and taking her son from her,
just to bring my own mother back, that can't be called a victory!
Lord, it would be a great loss for me!
I treat your mother as my own.
Lord, it's unfair to bring one mother back
while losing the other.
Lord, please don't tarnish my devotion
by vowing to renounce Ayodhya,
the very epicentre of righteousness!
Lord, please don't tarnish my faith!
[thunder rumbling]
