blood flows like a rivulet."

"His sturdy body, a weapon.

Hail this hero of the world."

"Destructive in the air and sky

can win with his roar of war."

"A ferocious warrior will become

soft-hearted afterwards."

"Killer of fear.

Ocean of wealth."

"Arduous struggle over,

healing calm sets over him."

"Killer of fear.

Ocean of wealth."

"Arduous struggle over,

healing calm sets over him."

"Killer of fear.

Ocean of wealth."

"Arduous struggle over,

healing calm sets over him."

"The persevering one, your

bravery will take you forward."

"You leap higher and higher,

firm and stable and determined."

"The persevering one, your

bravery will take you forward."

"You leap higher and higher,

firm and stable and determined."

"The persevering one.."

"Hey, warrior. Come closer!"

"Hey, handsome. You are mine."

Hey!

Hey! Stop!

Stop!

Over there!

Kasi!

It is a trap. Kill them!

Dear God!

How come you got this?

One of your men,

sneaked into our kingdom.

He tried to rescue Devasena.

We killed him.

It was tied to his wrist.

I took it from him.

I don't know anything else.

Let me go! Let me..

Bury the dead

and leave no traces.

Dilip too has attained

martyrdom, chief!

Don't let the drop of tear

breach your eyelids.

That monster from the palace

has imprisoned our princess

and has her shackled

right in the town square.

Our Queen Devasena being

treated like cattle in a fair.

Our pride and honour is injured

and we suffer in silence.

It is not time to shed tears.

It is time to breathe fire.

Have you forgotten

your solemn oath?

We will remember it

till our last breath.

To meet our goal

we will clash with thunder..

- We won't lose courage.

Come hell or high water..

- We will be brave!

Or death that splits us in pieces..

- We won't budge!

We shall rescue Devasena!

If we are to achieve our goal..

"Attachments become

our weakness..."

"and there is no place for

joy or celebrations."

"Our body is for our lost

Motherland, Kuntala Kingdom..."

"and soul exists

only to free Devasena."

My leader...

I heard many good things

about a warrior...

called Kattappa of Mahishmati.

I heard he is a good man.

Couldn't we ask him to help?

Karikala Kattappa Nadaar.

He is indeed a good man.

He can help us if he wants to.

But he won't...

Kattappa is a slave

the throne of Mahishmati.

Kattappa.

A sword trader, Sheik Aslam Khan

from Kabul is here to see you.

The ore is extracted from

the depths of Baghdad mines.

Purified in the furnaces

of the Golan mountains.

Crafted by the best

blacksmiths in Persia.

With this in hand...

even a child can slice

through ten banyan trees.

I call this the Sikander.

The Pride of Swords.

A wonderful sword.

But forgive me, Aslam,

this cannot match our speed.

How insulting!

Spoken words and spilled blood

can never be taken back.

Duel with my sword and

prove the worth of your words.

Does that prove

my point, Kattappa?

I have traveled

across the world

China, Persia, Mongolia, Greece.

But never seen

a warrior like you.

It will be an honour

to break bread with you.

Please come, Kattappa.

- Please forgive me, Aslam.

Slaves here do not

dine with royal guests.

Slave?

You are the head of the armoury,

how can you be a slave?

Yes, Aslam. A slave

like you have never seen before.

He forges the weapons for war.

During war, he must protect

the king with his own life.

After the war,

he should still lay by his feet.

Tell me, what will it cost

to buy your freedom?

I will pay 10, even 100 times that

to buy your freedom.

You cannot put a price

on this slave, Aslam.

My ancestors pledged that

everyone born in our clan...

will serve the throne

of Mahishmati for life.

For a pledge that

a long forgotten ancestor made

you still..

People who made the pledge

might be dead

but their word

still lives on, Aslam.

For this life, these bonds

will stay tied to this land.

If loyalty has a face,

it is you, Kattappa.

If you ever need anything...

please don't ever forget that

you have a life-long friend.

Vaishali.

- Hmm.

Where are you going?

- I will be right back.

We have a golden opportunity

to fulfill the oath

we have taken.

They are celebrating

Bhallaladeva's birthday

on the next new moon.

The entire kingdom will be busy

with the celebrations.

The opportunity to

free Queen Devasena...

Give me the opportunity, sir!

- Chief, let me go!

I offer it to Avanthika,

this time.

Avanthika!

What is this, Avanthika?

Where did this come from?

You focused on your beauty

more than your oath!

You cannot put your life at stake

since you love yourself so much.

You are not worthy

of this honour. Leave us.

These tears are not

a reflection of my cowardice

nor do they come from pain.

They are a testament

to my boiling blood.

If you can feel their intensity

then let me go.

You have to leave in two days.

So get ready.

Be careful and get

the job done, Avanthika.

If you get caught because

of your own neglect...

Bhallaladeva will torture you

mercilessly before he kills you.

"Our Mahishmati Kingdom

shall remain unconquerable."

"As long as the sun, moon

and stars are shining there."

"Felicity and glory

reigns supreme here."

"A flourished kingdom,

happy subjects"

"and the home of peace."

"May the glory of Mahishmathi

soar sky high."

"Our flag with the emblem

of the rising sun"

"our golden throne

flanked by to stallions."

Your Majesty,

it is just been two days since

we caught that bull

in the forests.

We haven't broken it yet.

It is quite dangerous...

Minister!

It would take 10 such bulls

to intimidate Bhallaladeva.

Please come.

Stamp it out, Bhalla!

Yes!

Kill him, father.

Did you see, grandfather?

His Majesty overpowered

the bull.

Glory to the king!

That was a great feat..

Bravo, Your Majesty!

Bhallaladeva!

Father!

He did it!

Have you ever seen a mightier warrior!

- No, Prince!

Your loyalty amuses me,

Kattappa.

I know deep in your heart...

you nurture this

desire to kill me.

Yet you put your life

on the line to save mine.

How do you do it?

How do you manage to do this?

Alright! You deserve it!

Ask for a reward.

Ask for anything!

Your Majesty!

You have been holding Devasena

captive for 25 years.

Please release her.

So be it.

Since I have given my word.

Go and kill Devasena

and release her!

There is no greater liberation

than death! Go and release her!

No?

Then let her suffer.

Not just another 25 years,

but till she dies.

Hey old hag! Get up!

Hey! Get up.

Hey Devasena! I hope there is

nothing lacking in your torture!

You chose him over me.

So where is he now?

Tell me the truth, Devasena.

In all these years...

have you ever heard

anyone even utter his name?

On those long and dark night,

amid the desperate silence...

and in the clunk

of your shackles...

did you ever hear his name?

No.

Mahishmati has forgotten him,

Devasena.

They neither talk

about him anymore...

and nor do they remember him.
