That will be my gurudakshina.

Promise me this, Arjun

Go now...

...my blessings are with you.

The Pandavas were

sent to Varnavat...

Dronacharya's words

continued to haunt Arjun

But the brothers were glad...

...to be away from

the Kauravas' politics.

It's so beautiful here

Arjun! Catch!

Arjun, here...

throw it to me!

Give it to me...

Run!

Arjun!

Arjun...

Follow me...

Come on! Arjun!

Arjun!

We're lucky I found this passage

or we'd all be dead

Go on ahead, Arjun...

Duryodhan is behind all this...

...I should break his head in two!

And here you are,

with your head hanging low

Very impressive, Prince Yudhishtir!

Bheem!

Let me say it mother...

...because you cannot

stand up for what's yours...

...we're scurrying about like rats!

What should we do then?

We have no men, no weapons...

How do you propose we fight?

Shhhh

The jackals will feast tonight...

...dinner is served!

Arjun had never seen

bloodshed like this before...

...he realized now...

...that all the training,

all the weapons...

...meant nothing at all

Mother...

I thought I was brave...

...but what Bheem did today...

I could never do...

...I was scared.

Scared? Of what?

Dronacharya was right...

I don't have what

it takes to be a warrior

I have a lot to learn

Time is the greatest teacher,

Arjun...

...and a time will come

when your bravery...

...will be displayed

for the world to see...

I believe in you.

Ridiculous!

This Brahmin outfit is ridiculous!

At least Duryodhan

won't recognize you

And why is that?

Because of this!

Friends, where are you headed?

Friend...

Our lives are about

prayer and food...

...we're praying now,

and headed towards food!

Food? Where?

Kampilya

There's a huge archery

competition there...

...by which the Princess of Panchal

will choose a husband

Don't tempt me anymore, sir,

Let's go!

Certainly!

You look like you truly enjoy food!

Come along then!

No!

Sir...

...please be on your way...

...and you, this way!

I could almost taste the food...

...and you led me away!

Let's go to Kampilya...

To eat?

Why not?

Aren't you hungry?

Actually,

we should go to Kampilya...

What do you mean?

If we win the princess' hand...

the King of Panchal...

...his kingdom and his army...

...will be with us

and then we can challenge Duryodhan!

...but who'll win

the archery contest?

I will

Arjun!

Yes brother,

I will win the Swayamvar!

The bravest warriors...

...the greatest marksmen...

...the biggest wrestlers...

and the strongest kings...

Raise your weapons

and rattle your jewelry...

for the mighty prince Meghasandhi!

You know the rules

Use your arrow to shoot the goldfish

succeed and you win

the maiden's hand

Apologies!

Shame! Shame!

Is there no one brave enough?

Will the goldfish live on?

Will the beautiful

Draupadi's garland...

...dry and wither away?

Is there no archer

in this august assembly...

who can accept this challenge?

Anyone out there?

Any archer?

Anyone at all?

Will you just stand there

staring into each other's eyes?

Duryodhan!

The Pandavas are alive!

What?

The Pandava family

has entered the royal court

Greetings, Your Highness!

Welcome!

I'm overjoyed to learn

that you are alive and well.

Come closer

Kunti, who is that with you?

My daughter in law, your highness

Daughter in law?

Come closer, my dear.

She is very beautiful, Kunti.

What is your name?

Krishna Draupadi,

daughter of the King of Panchal.

A princess?

The daughter of King Drupada...

Brave warrior,

general of a great army.

Draupadi...

You've been a Princess thus far...

...but you will soon be

called Queen!

Council...

...it is time for

the sons of Pandu...

...to be given their birthright!

Father!

If anyone has a right

to the kingdom...

It is I, your son!

You are the King of Hastinapur,

and I am your son...

This is the truth,

and that is the law!

Duryodhan!

The rules also state that...

...no one is allowed

to interrupt the King!

From now on the Throne

of Hastinapur...

...belongs to Prince Duryodhan,

and...

Prince Yudhishtir will be...

the King of Khandavprastha!

May peace prevail

between both kingdoms!

Long live, Prince Duryodhan!

Long live, Prince Yudhishtir!

Long live, Prince Duryodhan!

I don't want charity!

This kingdom is mine!

And no part of it,

no matter how small...

belongs to those Pandavas!

The King's orders must be followed

I won't have it!

I won't give them an inch!

This is what they give us,

this swamp?!

Arjun, how are we going to live here?

Hey, don't go criticizing

the kingdom of King Yudhishtir!

Look how peacefully

it's citizens are living!

Snakes, scorpions,

crocodiles... owls!

If they're happy we can be too,

isn't that so King Yudhishtir?

Your Highness!

The frogs want an audience with you!

That's enough, Bheem!

Who is it?

Show yourself!

Come out! Don't be afraid!

We are your Kings!

Pardon us, your Highness...

How were we to know...

this place is crawling with bandits

We thought it was them.

Is there no one here

for your protection?

No your highness,

no soldiers, no army, no one!

We'll take care of it now...

There's word out...

...that bandits

may attack tonight...

...be careful, Your Highness.

It's sundown your Highness...

...probably the cows coming home!

Those aren't cows, it's a horse...

Hold on...

...I know him

Yes Arjun, we have met before.

I am Krishna Vasudev

Duryodhan is behind all this...

him and his father!

We must take revenge!

Why settle for such

a small goal Bheem?

That's a small goal?

Birds and animals

fight for survival...

...but greatness lies

in the greater good.

What do you mean?

Hastinapur is headed for ruin...

...it's not just the king...

...the whole kingdom

is obsessed with greed.

And the problem doesn't

end with Hastinapur...

...it's the entire country.

Crime, terrorism, wars,

have taken over...

...and the innocent are suffering.

That is what you

have to deal with...

...you have to instill peace

across the land.

You are right.

We are with you.

Good! Great!

We have to save our necks

before we can save the world!

We're surrounded by bandits!

Bheem!

Tell us, how will we win this battle?

With courage, with belief...

with determination!

Here...

Here?

But we're not safe here.

What if someone attacks?

That's what I want.

What?

I don't understand.

What are you doing?

Waiting.

Aren't you scared?

Arjun...

We know nothing of the future...

...so why be concerned

with what hasn't happened?

So much self-confidence?

Just do what you have to Arjun,

forget the consequences.

Focus on your task,

and the fear will take care of itself.

Listen

The emblem of Hastinapur?

Who are you?

I'm the Trigartha King.

Let him live

He'll be more useful to us

than he was to Duryodhan.

You were right...

...it's not just a city...

...but a great Kingdom

that we need to build...

we will built it over these ashes...

Lord Indra's home on Earth.
