[comical music playing]
What is this?
Such a small quantity!
How will I be satisfied?
I hope you remember my words.
If I'm not satisfied,
neither will I add you to my troupe,
nor will you get to meet your Rama. Hmm!
My mother says that both the mind and body
can be satisfied by good intentions,
not by quantity.
Please taste it.
I made this food with dedication and love,
so it's bound to satisfy you.
All right.
[mellow music playing]
[joyful music playing]
I feel satisfied.
Yay!
Thank you.
According to my promise,
I'll now add you to my troupe.
If you remain honest and diligent
on the path of devotion throughout your life,
you'll surely meet Shri Rama.
Thank you.
[joyful music playing]
O, Shri Rama,
I found the path to reach you
so I shall see you in person soon.
'Hey! Both the food and drinks here are according to Rama's taste.'
Lakshmana!
[vocalising]
Since when have you started disliking Rama's favourite foods?
I don't dislike it. In fact, I'm happy.
I like everything
Rama likes.
[joyful music playing]
- We like it too! - We like it too!
[joyful music playing]
Bharata! Shatrughna!
It's good that everyone is here.
Where is your brother, Rama?
Please call him too.
He doesn't like cold puris.
I'll go and call Rama.
Hold on, Bharata.
I'll call Rama.
Why?
I'm the elder one.
Both of you must stay here, while I go and bring Rama.
Why?
I'm the youngest one.
Just because you're both elders,
will you always have your way?
I'll call Rama.
- I'll call him! - No, I'll go!
- I'll go! - No, I'll go!
I'll go!
Please calm down.
Let's see who among us reaches Rama first.
- Rama! - Rama!
Hey, stop!
Be careful.
- Greetings, Mother Kausalya! - Greetings, Mother Kausalya!
Greetings, sons!
[exhilarating music playing]
[theme music playing]
[theme song playing]
[theme song continues playing]
Sons, where is the trio headed?
You are in such a hurry that you bumped into me.
Greetings, Mother Kausalya.
We were going to call Rama here.
[ethereal music playing]
The three of you care about no one
but Rama.
Right? You don't need to search for him.
Your single call is enough for your Rama.
[ethereal music playing]
- Rama! - Rama!
[vocalising]
Children, it's time for dinner.
Let's go, Rama.
[thudding]
[stomach churning]
What was that noise?
[stomach gurgling]
Oh!
My stomach is making noise.
I forgot about you in my eagerness to meet my deity.
But I can't do anything for you.
My Brother Bhola ate all the food.
Please go to sleep.
Please wait till dawn.
Let's spend this night chanting Rama's name.
[stomach gurgling]
Hey! This is not for us.
These are for Lord Shri Rama.
Please go to sleep.
My dear!
What are you hiding, my dear?
What's inside your bag?
It's nothing. These are...
These are 'laddus' made by my mother.
I brought these for my lord, Shri Rama.
That's absurd.
You're hungry yourself, yet you're offering the 'laddus'
your mother made for your deity.
My dear, you can't pray on an empty stomach.
I suggest that you eat a few of them.
No one will know.
As it is, it's believed
that food made by a mother completely satisfies us.
Come on, eat.
Son Rama.
What's the matter?
Why aren't you eating?
Mother, I had a thought.
An ample amount of food is cooked in our palace.
Sometimes, there's more than we need
and we end up with leftovers.
Rama, if we eat all the food, won't we become fat?
Rama, it's okay if it happens sometimes.
We should have just enough food to satisfy our hunger.
Mother Annapurna
makes sure everyone is satisfied.
If the food is wasted,
what will she think?
Wasting food is like insulting her.
Anyway, the food we waste may satiate a hungry person.
You're right, son.
I understand.
Today, will this devotee
sleep hungry for his deity?
My mother says that God may wake us up hungry,
but He makes sure we sleep with a full stomach.
My Shri Rama will take care of my hunger.
Is that so?
Don't you trust your deity, Rama, a little too much?
Why won't I?
He is wonderful
and full of compassion.
He can't leave his devotee in the lurch.
Brother, wait and see.
Chanting his name will remove all my troubles.
Shri Rama!
I can't finish all this food,
and there's no one in Ayodhya
who doesn't have food.
However, there are many poor people outside the kingdom.
They go to bed hungry as they are away from their families.
If, instead of throwing food away,
we start donating it,
no one on the earth would go to bed hungry.
Rama, what should we do then?
- Shall we distribute the food? - No.
Food is like an offering
and an offering should be pure.
Take only the amount of food you can finish,
and we'll distribute the rest to those who are hungry.
Okay, Rama.
Shri Rama!
If everyone in Ayodhya has eaten,
go outside the kingdom.
Search for a hungry person and feed them.
[vocalising]
Shri Rama!
[gloomy music playing]
Shri Rama!
[poignant vocalising]
Shri Rama!
[wind whooshing]
This is unacceptable.
Nor does this favour our goal.
If the food sent by Shri Rama
reaches Hanuman,
his wish to meet Shri Rama
and his devotion will only grow.
We must break his confidence.
We can't let it deepen.
If Hanuman doesn't get food
tonight,
his confidence will break.
He'll realise that meeting his deity,
Shri Rama, is not easy.
[smirking]
Deities,
we must use all our might
to prevent this food from reaching Hanuman.
You're right, Devraj.
[sweeping music playing]
Deities.
[dramatic music playing]
My friend.
- Huh. - Please wake up.
What's the matter?
Why did you wake us?
It's nothing.
We know you are all hungry. Right?
But why were you sleeping?
Sleeping on an empty stomach is a sin.
Since God has given us this body,
we must keep it healthy.
Right, my friend?
Aren't you all hungry?
Am I right?
- Yes, we're hungry. - Yes, we're hungry.
Look over there.
A soldier is bringing food from the palace.
Please go quickly and eat the food.
We were famished.
- Then please hurry up. - Let's hurry up.
- Come on, hurry up! - Hurry up!
Come on, hurry up!
"Om! I bow down to Lord Shiva."
[conch shell playing]
- "Om! I bow down to Lord Shiva." - [bell clanging]
- [conch shell playing]
Wonderful!
Mahadeva Himself sent offerings for us.
We're blessed!
How blessed we are!
[dramatic music playing]
Huh! A plateful of food is not enough.
Look over there.
Mahadeva has served 'chhappan bhog' for us.
Let's hurry up.
- Let's go! - Let's go!
Where are you going? They are giving food.
Go there!
- Hail Mahadeva! - Hail Mahadeva!
It seems everyone here is satisfied.
We must go outside Ayodhya.
Shri Rama said that no one outside Ayodhya should go hungry.
We must obey his command. Let's go.
[mellow music playing]
Hanuman, you're truly blessed.
Your devotion helped
feed so many hungry people.
Shri Rama!
[vocalising]
Mahadeva!
This was done by Mahadeva.
Deities.
[dramatic music playing]
[sweeping music playing]
Greetings, Mahadeva.
Greetings, deities.
I was waiting for you all.
I was wondering why you all aren't here yet.
I apologise, Mahadeva,
but You've backed out on Your promise.
You promised not to help Hanuman.
Shh!
Devraj, don't call me "Mahadeva".
Please call me "Bhola" in Ayodhya.
I'm Bhola.
As far as helping Hanuman is concerned,
I neither broke my promise
nor backtracked.
I had promised
not to assist in the union of Rama and Hanuman.
However, I never promised
to prevent Rama's offering from reaching Hanuman.
- But, Mahadeva... - Look over there, Lord Indra.
Shri Rama!
Hanuman is an innocent eight-year-old.
Shri Rama!
He is chanting Rama's name.
He is chanting even though he's famished.
He hasn't eaten anything since morning.
I tested him rigorously, just as you did.
I made him cook for my troupe.
He served everyone and satisfied them.
Even after cooking for everyone, Hanuman himself lay down hungry.
His power of devotion
made him determined.
He is confident
that his deity, Rama,
won't let him sleep on an empty stomach.
Shri Rama.
Devraj,
there's a limit to testing someone.
Exacting revenge
under the guise of a test is not right.
[gloomy music playing]
You all are deities.
You care for the entire world.
Then how did you
fail to see a child's pain?
Didn't you pity him even a little?
Please remember.
He is Hanuman!
He holds the power of the eight siddhis and nine nidhis!
If he wanted, he would've
crossed all the boundaries to meet his deity, Rama!
But Hanuman didn't do that.
He endured suffering
just to meet his deity
without using his powers.
It's strange.
An eight-year-old child understood something
the scholarly deities couldn't.
A beggar has the right to the offering
simply because they stand outside the temple.
Then why doesn't Hanuman,
who performed tough penance,
deserve the offering from his deity, Rama?
Let it be.
You may try your best.
Keep trying without fail.
And let little Hanuman
try on his own
because
I'm here to see
how he meets his deity
after crossing these hurdles.
[melancholic music playing]
Shri Rama!
My friend.
It's you!
What brought you here so late?
You've brought this plate with you. Is everything all right?
We've brought some food. Is anyone hungry here?
"Hungry!" Oh, yes.
There's a hungry child
sleeping under that tree.
Please serve him food.
[upbeat music playing]
Let me serve him.
Thank you, my friends.
Thanks to both of you
for feeding a hungry child.
My friend, you must thank
our prince, Shri Rama.
This plate has been served
with the food from his own.
Your prince is truly kind.
[joyful music playing]
[bells clanging]
Rama!
