Padmaavat

2

Look at our Commander!

Seems like he's travelled all the way fromDelhi to Gazni only to eat and sleep!

Shareef Pasha, he has come here to get us...

...his intentions are that we attack Delhi together.

Oh Lord, so now the Commanderwants to become the Sultan of Delhi!

Revolt against the Sultanate?!

-This is not a rebellion...

...it's all about our desires.

-Yes!

How long will we serve the Sultanate?

Now I desire to be the Sultan!

Indeed!

Who is this insolent fool?

Marvellous!

Alauddin! What have you brought?

Uncle, you asked me to get it!!

When did I ask you to get an ostrich?

I do not remember.

But Alauddin never forgets.

I respect you so much. You asked for a feather,I got you an ostrich instead.

Feather?Oh yes! Now I remember...

Now you remember!

For my beloved Mehru!

Yes, for Mehru!

Mehru!

Mehru!

Mehru!

Yes, Father?

Look what I got for you as a gift.

Allah! An Ostrich!

I really love you a lot, Father!

Me too.

I'd like to reward youfor fulfilling my daughter's wish.

What do you want?

I risked my life to fulfill your wish.

Now, I want your life in return!

No...no...

I want your daughter Mehrunisa to be my wife.

Aren't you clever? For one preciousgift you want another in return.

Everything precious belongs only to Alauddin.

Says who?

Alauddin!

Mehrunisa, daughter of Jalaluddin Khilji...

...do you accept Alauddin Khilji as your husband?

She accepts!

Shareef Pasha, where is the groom?

Tell him that I've called him.

I'll get him right away.

Alauddin!

Alauddin!

What are you doing?It's your wedding night!

If the Commander finds out,he will have you beheaded.

Who will tell him?

You?

You won't tell him.You are my childhood friend!

My confidante.

You will never tell him.

Never.

Never.

Allah!

Alauddin's greed to possess everything precious,made Mehru and the skies above shudder with fear.

He believed that anything preciouswas rightfully his...

...but was unaware,that thousands of miles away across the oceans...

...lived the most precious beauty on earth...

...the Princess of Singhal.

Your arrow hit it's mark!!

-Is anybody out there?

Is anybody out there?

Wardhan!

What are you doing here at this hour?

Our state guest, King Ratan Singh of Mewarhad set out on a hunt.

It seems he has lost his way in the jungle.

The King has given orders to search for him.

Inform the King, the guest is safeand is resting in the caves.

I shall.

Everyone back to the Palace!

-Do you know what those pearls meant to me?

-You could've gifted him a few villages instead.

Why did you have to give him that necklace?

What are you trying to say?

I want that necklace back.

-It was gifted to you on our weddingand you gave it away!

Do not worry,I'll have a similar necklace made for you.

Would you cross the ocean for those pearls?

-Those pearls were especially brought from Singhal.

-Neither can anyone bring those pearls back...

...nor will I ever get that necklace again.

Have you come to apologize?

Your aim is remarkable.

You wounded this hunter instead of the deer.First with your arrow and now with your eyes!

Our meeting was a coincidencebut sometimes coincidences are beautiful...

...just like this place of yours!

Everything here is so mesmerising.

I have been talking for a while,but we know nothing about each other.

You are Ratan Singh, the King of Mewar.

How do you know?

Because you are our guest.

And that's how you welcome your guest.

What brings you to Singhal?

I'm here to buy pearls.

Here, you don't buy pearls.You find them if you're lucky.

Just like I found you.

So tell me about yourself.Who are you?

What is your name?

Every leaf here knows my name.

I'm sure you'll find out.

She is the Princess of Singhal...

Padmavati.

She has been looking after youfor the past two days.

Padmavati.

My apologies, King Ratan Singh.

Before you could enjoy our hospitality,you got injured.

My daughter made a grave mistake.

It was not Padmavati's fault,King Gandharvasen.

I glanced upon her during my hunt.

I followed her and the arrow hit me.

I have come to take you back.

Please return to the Palace.

I have stayed in palaces all my life.

I like the tranquility of the forest.

If you don't mind,I'd like to stay here for a few days more.

King Ratan Singh,you came here as our state guest...

...but now you're more like family.

I would like you takepearls back from Singhal and not the wound.

-Pearls from Singhal.

Aren't these the ones you were looking for?

What are you thinking?

Now that you've got what you wanted,you'll return to Mewar?

I must go back.

You can't leave.

Your wound hasn't healed yet.

Would you come with me to Mewar, Padmavati?

As my wife!

With the blessings of her father,King Gandharvasen...

Princess Padmavati got married to King Ratan Singhand left for Chittor.

-All rise!

-King Ratan Singh is arriving in the court.

All hail Queen Padmavati!

All hail King Ratan Singh!

While Chittor celebrated thearrival of it's new Queen...

Jalaluddin revolted against the Delhi Sultanateand established the Khilji dynasty.

He declared himselfthe new Sultan of Delhi.

Sultan of Delhi, Jalaluddin Khilji...

Glory to him!

But Alauddin had his eyes set onthe precious throne of Delhi too.

The throne looks beautiful from afar,but don't be deceived.

Along with it comes it's fair share of troubles.

We are surrounded by enemiesbut the most immediate threat is from the Mongols.

Sultan, defeating the Mongolsin battle is impossible.

Our army is half their strength.

But our courage is far greater than theirs.

So, will you fight the Mongols?

For the sake of Khiljis I can even fight God.

Well said!

Keep your ambitions in check,lest you get burried under their weight.

Pardon me, but there's nothing that cancome in the way of Alauddin's ambitions.

I don't want your tall claims,only victory!

I will fight the Mongols.

Sultan, your belief in me is my victory.

Charge!

Alauddin defeated the Mongolsand won Delhi over.

Meanwhile, Queen Padmavati waswinning hearts in Chittor.

Careful Suraj Baisa. Your days of doing Ghoomar (traditional folk dance) are long gone.

You might hurt your back.

Now the new Queen will perform Ghoomar.

My Queen, you mustput up a grand performance.

It sure will Suraj Baisa,because I will play the drums.

Greetings, My Queen.

Kunwar Baisa, your talkative sonhas spoken out of turn again.

Leave alone playing the drums Badal...

...no man except the King can be presentduring the Queen's performance.

Son, you can beat the drumsall you want at your wedding.

-All rise for King Ratan Singh.

Are they troubling you, My Queen?

The Royal Guru is expecting you at the temple.

Shall we?

Welcome, My Lord!

Padmavati, meet the Royal Guruand my mentor, Raghav Chetan.

He's the answer to all our questions.

Please take his blessings.

Your beauty is divine!

Not just beauty, but she's alsoblessed with great intelligence.

Hmm...

So what is more important to the new Queen?Beauty or skill?
