Padmaavat Page #4

---

Ulugh Khan?

We Khiljis saw a dream together.

That one day our flagwill soar all over the world.

We swore to stand by each other,come what may.

And during these troubled times,you want to give up!

Then forget our dream!

Long live the Khiljis.-Long live!

Sikandar-e-Sani... -Long live!

My Lord, Greetings on Holi (Festival of Colours)!

Wish you the same.

I am just returning from the granary.

We only have a few days' supply left.

But this should remain only between us.

Our people shouldn't know.

Our difficulties are growing, My Lord.

Difficulties will also grow for our enemy.

This scorching heat will forceAlauddin to retreat.

Just a few more days.

Please enjoy Holi. I'll go and wishthe new Queen on her first Holi here.

Please don't ignore the reality, My Lord.

This is a matter of grave concern.

You seem to have forgotten, Gora Singh.

One who braves any situation, is a Rajput.

One who dares to walkon burning embers, is a Rajput.

One who accepts all challenges andemerges victorious, is a Rajput.

The one who fights the enemytill his last breath, is a Rajput.

Sultan!

These people have lost their minds!

They celebrate despite the siege.I see colours flying from the fort!

-Colours are bound to fly in Chittor.Today is Holi!

People colour each other and express their love.

And even embrace their enemies?

Yes, Sire.

Then let me play with the enemy too!

With colours or blood?

Before this weather turns against us,send a message of truce to the fort.

Truce with Chittor?

Why did your face turn pale?-Absolutely not!

I will deliver this message...

Not you, Malik Kafur will go.

As you wish.

So today is Holi!

Someone colour me too.

The Festival of Colours is here.

I will play Holi with my beloved.

And colour him with my love.

Chief, look!

Should I knock him down?

Let him come, Badal.

This is Malik Kafur, My Lord.

Alauddin's most trusted.Some even call him his consort.

Greetings to King Ratan Singhfrom the Sultan of Delhi.

I've understood that the Rajputs of Mewardon't bow their heads or swords.

Your determination is truly commendable.

I would like to extend myhand in friendship towards you.

Before returning to Delhi, I would like toexperience Chittor's hospitality.

I hope you will accept my message of truce.

I will definitely meet Alauddin.

Marvellous!The Sultan will be very pleased!

But before we meet,I have certain conditions.

We accept all your conditions.

At least listen to the conditions.

This proposition could be a conspiracy.

Could be.

Then why invite the Sultan to the fort?

I accepted his proposal and rejected it as well.

How is that?-I proposed two conditions.

First, his army must return to Delhi.

Second, if he would like to meet me,he must come to the fort alone and unarmed.

What if he accepts your conditions?

A man who came all the way from Delhiand spent six months in the scorching heat...

...would definitely accept your conditions.

I don't think so.

Lord Ram too never thought thatRaavan will come disguised as a sage.

Greetings, My Lord.Pardon me for my untimely interruption.

What is it Gora Singh?

The Sultan has sent a message.

He has accepted both our conditions.

Let him come.

Prayer chants...

Is the army ready to return to Delhi?

Is the Sultan really sendingthe army away from Chittor?

Away from Chittor's sightbut not from their land!

Pardon me, Sultan.

But entering the enemy's fortunarmed can be dangerous.

Danger!

I accept!

Every danger that takes Alauddin closer to Padmavati.

I accept.

I accept.

By the way Sultan,Delhi's throne is in danger too.

Itaat Khan!

His eyes are full of hatred for youand greed for the throne.

He wants to be the next Sultan.

Every star wants to be the moonbut never succeeds.

Like I am so close to you,but can never take Padmavati's place.

Queen Padmavati!

Welcome to the fort, Sultan.

King Ratan Singh!

Pardon me, but I am the Commander of Mewar's army.

Gora Singh.

So where is your King Ratan Singh hiding?

He's waiting for you inside.

I feel elated today!

I feel on top of the world today!

Wonderful!

Pardon me, but I am overwhelmed to see you.

After months of waiting,we finally meet!

Now that you're here,how would you like to be welcomed?

Like a dear friend!

I've got you a precious gift!

You're gifting a sword to a friend?

It was one of your conditions, wasn't it?To come alone and unarmed.

Here. Now I am unarmed.

I've heard it's very beautiful...

...the Fort of Chittor!

God has truly blessed Rajputs with abundance.

Abundant skills! Such grandeur!

And an unmatched enemy too!

Shall we?

Prayer before meal.

-Your move.

Sultan!

Hmm...

Careful King.Your Queen is in danger!

There...

I saved my Queen.

Hmm...

What are you looking at?

It's almost sundown.

I guess Chittor and Delhi will have toreconcile in this game as well!

Well then, allow me to take your leave.

As you please.

But before I leave you mustintroduce me to your family.

I've introduced you to everyone.This is my family.

Yes, of course they are.

But I was referring to thepride of Chittor...

Queen Padmavati.

What's wrong?Was my request unreasonable?

That was a disgraceful thing to say Alauddin.

We treat our guests like God in Chittor,otherwise you would be beheaded right away!

Now the King is in danger too!

Check.

Reconsider your decision, My Queen.

I will never agree to this.This is wrong.

My decision is right for Mewar, Kunwar Baisa.

But, the King...

Which decision of yours is right?

-I am aware...-You may be the Queen of Mewar but...

...you have no right to take political decisions.

It is my right!

Especially, if I am the reasonfor Chittor to go to war.

So let there be a war!We will fight them in the battlefield.

But never make the mistake of takingthese decisions yourself.

Never, My Queen.

You made a mistake too.

When you drew your sword,you should've beheaded him.

You had your opportunity to change history.

What are you saying, My Queen?

You know that I could've never struckan unarmed guest in the fort.

Even if it's the Devil himself.

History can turn its pagebut Rajputs don't budge from their principles.

Then take your sword and behead me.

Rajput principles and honourwill remain intact.

No one will ever understandyour decision of showing him your face.

Future generations will hold you accountable.

So let them.

If I can save even one life by showing my face,then I accept this humiliation.

Let me fulfill my duties as the Queen.

Wait here.The King shall join you shortly.

Here?

Lord Shiva drank poisonto save the world.

Today you're taking thisdifficult decision for Mewar.

Keep this with you, My Queen.

This holy smoke will protect youfrom the Sultan's evil-eye.

King Ratan Singh!

A thought crossed my mind while waiting...

Gora Singh...

Yes, My Lord.

You may leave, Alauddin.

Yes, I can.

But before I return to Delhi,allow me to show you my hospitality as well.

Tomorrow.

I'll be waiting.
