"Shri Hanuman."
[devotional song playing]
[poignant vocalising]
Why is Ayodhya's guest
shackled?
Brother Bhola is also held captive.
Why?
[tense music plays]
You rushed
to meet me barefoot.
Then, Lord,
can I not come to you, shackled in chains?
[dramatic music playing]
'Rama, move away from that vanara!'
[thunder cracking]
[sinister music plays]
I thought he was an ordinary vanara
eager to meet you,
but I was wrong.
He had an ulterior motive.
He caused a ruckus here.
Mother, please be clear.
What did this child do?
What do you mean?
He had an evil plan.
[tense music plays]
The soldiers told me earlier
that he was here to deliver attar.
[suspenseful music playing]
And I kept the attar with the attars Rama uses.
But when the servants
were taking all the attars,
including his,
he slyly tipped over
all the other attars, except his own.
When the soldiers cornered him
and tried to snatch the attar,
he accidentally poured the entire bottle on himself.
[dramatic music playing]
Then it was revealed
that the attar he was trying to save
was, in reality,
a caustic liquid!
[thunder rumbling]
As soon as it touched his body,
his skin burned.
[dramatic music playing]
What? Manthara, is it true?
I'd be cursed if I lied.
If you don't believe me,
ask the person who saw everything firsthand.
Please speak up, Chief Guard.
Yes, Your Highness.
That attar must have been adulterated
because it burned his entire body!
[thunder cracking]

[title song concludes]
Hanuman.
[suspenseful music playing]
Is he right?
Was that attar
really caustic?
[suspenseful music playing]
Please answer, Hanuman.
Queen Kaikeyi asked you a question.
Come on.
[dramatic music playing]
Vanara, please answer.
Why are you quiet?
It's true!
The attar was caustic!
[thunder cracking]
Rama,
stay away from this vanara.
Mother, please hear me out.
Please don't take my Lord away from me.
I was unaware
that the attar was harmful.
When I learned that it might harm Shri Rama,
I came back to the palace to retrieve the attar.
But, Mother, I was late.
The situation had become complicated.
Mother, I simply want to be with Shri Rama.
Mother, that's the only truth.
Please don't talk in riddles.
Where did you get this harmful attar from?
Enough!
[suspenseful music playing]
Mother, everyone bombarded Hanuman
with questions.
But, Mother, compassionate beings
prioritise a person's well-being
before seeking the truth.
Did the caustic attar
harm him seriously?
Right, Mother?
[mellow music playing]
You must have endured unimaginable pain
when your skin got burned.
Hanuman, are you all right?
[poignant music playing]
I apologise, my friend.
My mothers
love me so much
that they forgot to ask
about your well-being.
[poignant music playing]
Hanuman,
I completely trust you and everything
you just said!
[dramatic music playing]
Your eyes
reflect honesty,
and I understand
your predicament.
They all must understand
that you're telling the truth.
[poignant vocalising]
If you wanted to burn me,
you wouldn't have returned to retrieve the attar!
[clap]
Lord,
honest people
seldom show
their pain.
Even if their pain is visible,
only you can alleviate it, Lord!
[devotional song playing]
Lord,
I want to say something.
This is the reason, I came to meet you.
Please tell me, Hanuman. What is it?
[notes playing]
Chote, please speak up.
The prince is waiting for you.
[dramatic music playing]
[tense music plays]
Devraj, our worst fear
has come true.
Now, Hanuman will surely ask Shri Rama
how to bring his mother back.
The deity will alleviate his devotee's suffering.
Rama might be unaware,
but he is in truth Narayana's avatar.
His words can't be untrue.
Lord Indra, Hanuman finally met him.
We lost.
Lord Agni, please don't forget
that I'm Lord Indra, the Lord of Deities.
I can't allow Hanuman
to complete his journey!
If this vanara becomes close to Rama,
he'll become more powerful than us deities.
And I can't accept that!
This is why I'll try
to prove
that Hanuman isn't truly
a devotee.
In fact, he has a selfish motive!
He wants Anjana, his mother, to return.
Hanuman,
you still have a long way to go
before you can prove yourself the greatest devotee.
Devraj, what will you do now?
Lord Agni, I won't do it alone.
Both of us
will implement
my plan.
[suspenseful music playing]
[sinister music plays]
Ashwini Kumaras abandoned me
because of Hanuman's deceit,
but the army of deities is with me.
Wait and watch.
I'll soon expose Hanuman's pretension
to the world.
[dramatic music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
Shri Rama, I...
Rama, that's enough. Stop it.
Don't listen to him.
Come with me.
[poignant vocalising]
[poignant vocalising continues]
Lord.
- Mother... - No, son.
You can't be with Hanuman.
He always invites trouble.
Since he met you,
you've hurt your feet
and today...
Something untoward might have happened.
By God's grace, you're fine.
I don't want to invite trouble.
If that child knew
that the attar was caustic,
why did he bring it here
in the first place?
[poignant vocalising]
Why didn't he inform anyone about it?
No one would have allowed him
to bring such an attar to you!
[poignant vocalising]
We can't be sure
about his true intentions.
Son, we don't know him well,
except that he's from Kishkindha.
I agree
that Kishkindha and Ayodhya
share a cordial relationship,
but none of us have ever
visited Kishkindha or hosted anyone from that kingdom.
Why does this child want to change the status quo?
Maybe
this child doesn't belong to Kishkindha.
Or maybe
he was planted by another vanara clan.
[poignant vocalising]
- Mother... - No, son.
You have talked to him
enough already.
Rama, let's go inside.
[suspenseful music playing]
Now I'll deal
with him!
[dramatic music playing]
Soldiers!
Drive them out of Ayodhya!
[thunder rumbling]
[poignant vocalising]
Stop.
[mellow music playing]
I know you're protective of Rama,
and I respect your feelings, Kaikeyi.
But our affection often blinds us,
and we fail to notice the pain
of our loved ones.
Look at Rama.
He's deeply hurt by your mistrust
of Hanuman.
[dramatic music playing]
Kaikeyi,
let him go.
Hanuman can't harm Rama in front of us anyway.
He is a child after all.
Queen Kausalya, Rama is also a child.
[sinister music plays]
He doesn't know the ways of the world.
Is it right to allow him to make choices?
Rama can't distinguish between friend
and foe.
He doesn't understand the difference between the life
inside the palace and life outside it.
I don't think it's right to let Rama
make his own decisions.
Rama should follow the rules
just like the other princes.
Otherwise,
a nobody like him might enter the palace at any time.
[sinister music plays]
Please forgive me,
but why would I harm Shri Rama?
As soon as I learned
that the attar might harm him,
I ran to the palace
and was even captured.
Please believe me, Queen Kaikeyi.
Shri Rama can't be harmed
as long as I stand by his side.
Every difficulty must confront me
before it reaches him!
[poignant vocalising]
I know your pain.
My mother used to worry for me
the way you're worried about your son, Shri Rama.
I'm sure you love Shri Rama
as much as my mother loved me.
A son is pleading with you.
Mother, please hear me out.
It's a life-and-death situation.
Mother,
please let me talk to my Lord just once.
Just once.
[poignant vocalising]
