Brother Bhola!
[thunder breaking]
[tense music plays]
Brother Bhola, you've worked a miracle.
He was running away from me,
but you caught him.
What do you mean? Let go of me!
No! No! No, Chote.
It's not what you think.
To tell you the truth, I didn't catch him.
In fact, he caught me.
He was pleading with me.
"Please save me from Hanuman! Please!"
I told him, "I can't interfere in this issue."
Listen up. Maybe you're a king,
but today,
you can't escape my brother's wrath. No one can save you.
[straining]
"King?"
Brother Bhola, he isn't a king.
He rules the Swarga. He is Devraj Indra.
[cackling]
Come on, Chote! Stop joking with me.
Brother Bhola, I'm not joking. This is the truth.
Both your name's meaning
and you are innocent.
It's a long story. I can't explain it all right now.
Today, you'll know
why the world calls your younger brother, Veer Hanuman.
I, Hanuman, will punish
the one who doubted my devotion.
Child, enough of your insolence.
Stop this pretence! Or else, I...
"Pretence!" I understand. It means...
It means the long story
I couldn't understand in a short time.
Well done, Chote!
Staying in my company has made you smart.
You read my mind so easily.
What do you mean?
- Didn't you understand? - No.
[mellow music playing]
It seems even you failed to understand.
I... No.
How would you understand?
Let me explain.
Actually, a great idea was given by you!
Yes, it was you.
King, the thing is, I'm an amazing dancer.
I keep dancing the whole day,
but then I pull a muscle in my waist.
Even my age...
[coughing]
Now that I'm old,
my younger brother remembered me.
Oh, my! He truly cares for me.
Please tell me.
When our troupe stages this new play,
everyone will be left mesmerised.
People like change. Right?
This will also help me,
Bhola,
to rest for some time.
And I need to rest urgently.
So, it's decided
that the next play from Bhola Theatre Group
will star two eminent personalities,
Veer Hanuman
and the King of Swarga, Devraj Indra!
But, Chote, tell me something.
Who will write the play?
You or him?
He or you?
Brother Bhola, he is the writer.
He planned it all and orchestrated it.
He brought about ruination to Ayodhya!
[intense music plays]
[title music playing]
[title song playing]
[title song continues playing]
[title song concludes]
- Hail Prince Ramchandra! - All hail!
- Hail Prince Bharata! - All hail!
Prince, if it weren't for you, Ayodhya would have been destroyed.
The subjects had panicked.
Innocent lives would have been lost.
I didn't do it all alone.
It was a combined effort.
The person who helped the most
in overcoming this catastrophe
was Hanuman.
I'll now punish this miscreant.
He caused suffering to my Lord and Bharata.
Ayodhya faced a calamity.
Oh, "calamity"! I know what you're talking about.
Your Rama...
I mean, your Shri Rama dealt with that calamity,
along with his brothers.
Shri Rama overcame that mishap,
but he was the one who caused it.
Lord Indra, who are you to question my devotion?
I'm saying this for the last time! Listen to me carefully!
I've always been Shri Rama's devotee
and will continue to be so.
Anyone who disrupts my devotion
will be taught a lesson...
Chote, hear me out!
Let go, Brother Bhola! Let go!
Please stop! Stop it!
Chote, the truth can't be hidden
either in life or in a play.
Truth shines through
pretension.
As it is,
if anyone questions your devotion,
that's their problem.
Devotion happens internally.
No one can see it.
Anyone can question
something they can't see.
However, you must decide
whether you want to prove your devotion to others
or use it
to strengthen your mind.
[dramatic music playing]
Hanuman did a huge favour
to all of Ayodhya.
Ayodhya will always be indebted to him.
There's only one way to repay him.
Lakshmana, I'd like to invite Hanuman
to dinner tonight.
I want him to have dinner with us today.
I want you to extend my invitation to Hanuman.
As you wish, Rama.
Rama!
Your decision isn't right.
[intense music plays]
Anyway,
if you force others to validate your devotion,
it only reveals your arrogance.
Chote, do you know something?
It's believed that arrogance
and devotion can't go together.
Just think about it.
[melancholic vocalising]
[sweeping music playing]
Brother Bhola, you're right.
You agreed!
I have just one request.
Please add my name to this play as a writer.
You may not agree,
but the most important lines of this play
have been suggested by me. Right?
[melancholic music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
I apologise, Lord Indra.
[intriguing music plays]
Wonderful! This is truly an unprecedented event.
If we end the play with an apology,
everyone will like it.
Everyone will be mesmerised.
Anyway, Chote,
devotion begins with forgiveness.
One should be calm.
Now get up!
Brother Bhola opened my eyes
to the fact that I was being arrogant about my devotion.
But what did Brother Bhola notice?
And why did I agree with him?
Thank You, Mahadeva.
You put on an act to avert a war.
Anyway, as Devraj, getting into a war
with a child doesn't suit me.
By the way, Mahadeva, where did Hanuman go?
Devraj, please don't worry about that.
If you had wanted,
you could have guided Hanuman onto the right path
while testing his devotion.
But instead, you made him face obstacles.
And I
used those obstacles
to show Hanuman the path
to overcome his arrogance,
the greatest flaw in a devotee
to grow closer to his deity.
[dramatic music playing]
Aunt Manthara, what is your point?
How was I wrong?
You extended a royal invitation to a lowly vanara.
Will a vanara have dinner with the royalty?
How is it justified?
Aunt Manthara, I plead with you
not to curse Hanuman like an animal.
Please understand his importance.
A human being's best friend is always an animal.
He could be a friend or an enemy, but he's still an animal.
Feed him fodder like you would an animal. That's it.
He came here and caused a ruckus.
Isn't it enough
that you're inviting him here?
Aunt Manthara...
[suspenseful music playing]
We've also been mischievous children.
Lakshmana and Shatrughna are still naughty.
If you're hurt by Hanuman's insolence,
you may punish me.
I'll treat your punishment
as a gift and accept it.
But Hanuman averted a probable mishap in Ayodhya,
yet you're insulting him
just because he's a vanara!
Aunt Manthara, that's unfair.
His agility, purity,
and courage
helped Ayodhya escape grave danger.
A living being,
whether human or vanara,
possesses love, dedication, and truth
in equal measure.
Sometimes, animals do things
we humans can't even imagine.
Will Raghuvansha punish
the one who helped them?
Aunt Manthara, to be honest,
Hanuman is equivalent to Bharata
to me!
[exhilarating music playing]
[tapping]
- Hail Veer Hanuman! - All hail!
[devotional music playing]
- Greetings, Prince. - Greetings.
The artist, Brother Bhola, presents plays.
Where can we find him?
He has camped over there.
Thank you.
"Shiva!"
Greetings, Brother Bhola.
"I am Shiva".
"Om!"
"I bow down to Shiva."
[devotional music playing]
You are not yet aware of your real identity.
But, Shesha, you must also take the test.
What? What do you mean by "Shesha"?
Shesha! I'm talking about this.
Rice, vegetables, and other food
are all that remain in my life.
How do I tell you?
It has been months since I ate delicious food.
I eat tasteless food.
I think it's destiny.
No one gets more than their destiny, and I'm no different.
I'll never be invited
to a feast.
Let it be.
Tell me, Prince Lakshmana. What brought you here?
Hanuman was with you, right?
Hanuman? Yes, he was with me, but not now.
I explained something to him.
He understood and went in that direction.
Which direction?
Forget about it.
You should know that I'm troubled by him.
I'm tired of Hanuman.
He comes here unannounced.
Actually, Rama sent me here.
What? Did Prince Rama send you?
Why didn't you say that before?
What did Prince Rama say?
Rama has extended an invitation.
Please ask Hanuman to have dinner with Rama tonight.
[stuttering] Did he invite him for dinner?
Why did it take you so long to say that?
Prince Lakshmana, I promise you.
We'll definitely come for dinner.
Both Hanuman and I will reach on time.
[grunting]
We'll eat to our heart's content.
What have you done? Why did you put out the fire?
Prince, I don't need to cook now.
Now that we've been invited to the 'chhappan bhog',
why would we settle for tasteless vegetables and steamed rice?
Wait a minute.
It's a special dinner for special guests. You're not invited there.
[intriguing music plays]
I don't want to go there anyway.
I just wanted to accompany Hanuman.
Um, otherwise, I'd never accept such invitations.
I'll cook these vegetables for dinner.
I can prepare delicious meals.
Quiet! You're quite audacious.
You've been answering back ever since I got here.
How could you disobey the order of Ayodhya's prince?
Hmm!
[patting]
Speaking of orders,
Prince Lakshmana,
even you are disobeying your brother's command.
What exactly did Prince Rama tell you?
He wanted you to extend the dinner invitation to Hanuman,
but you asked me to pass on your message.
You may go and search for Hanuman.
Find him and invite him over. Come on, go!
[knucklebones cracking]
He thinks he is a prince.
He came here to invite a vanara.
Why did Prince Rama
send his brother to invite a vanara?
It proves just one thing.
Prince Rama considers
Hanuman more important
than his younger brothers. Yes!
'Hanuman did a huge favour'
'to all of Ayodhya.'
'Ayodhya will always be indebted to him.'
[melancholic music playing]
Shesha, your journey isn't just about inviting Hanuman!
It's important because it's connected to Hanuman.
