the Kakatiya secret before she dies'

Bravo Madanika!

Well done

You've proved you are

a true Devagiri girl

I will capture

the Kakatiya army

And I will chop Rudradeva's head

The day to parade

his severed head...

...is not too far away

You are caught now

Gona Ganna Reddy

I will arrest you

and put you behind bars

Men put their swords back

in their sheaths when they see me

But a man hasn't been born

as yet to imprison me

I'm not Abhimanyu to get

caught in the 'Padmavyuha'

I am like Lord Krisna

The father of 'Chakravyuha'

Will you die?

Or will you join me?

Long live Brave heart

kOtai Sandiveera

'kOtai Sandiveera

accumulated numerous allies'

'Kotagiri kings in the west

Muthukur kings in the south'

'The Naganoors in the north

to the Kalingas in the east'

'He reigned supreme

with his death chapter'

'While everyone was progressing

towards their respective goals...'

'...Madanika started unearthing

the secrets of the palace one by one'

'She sent news to Devagiri

now and then also'

'The 7 walls were fortified

to prevent enemies'

This is the correct figure

of the Kakatiya army?

Till now canvassing

wrong figures...

...Shiva Devaiah deliberately

deceived all of us

This news is enough

for me to raze...

...the 7 walls of the fort to the ground

Rudradeva!

Your fort is mine

And also the Kakatiya crown!

I fulfilled my promise

The girl who asked for it...?

It's almost the end of January

You neighed just like this

when she came here last

Friend...you've come alone

Where are your guards?

Everyone says you've fallen

in love and become a lunatic

I came alone to find out

how true the rumor is

You are happily married to

Muktamba, my dear friend

But I am all alone in solitude

You've come

at the right time

My beloved will come now

You must get her family to consent

and conduct our wedding

If I should do that,

you must win a challenge

Even though you are

head over heels in love...

...prove you haven't forgotten

to cross swords

The loser must heed

the winner's words

I'll win my love's hand

by defeating you

Rudradeva, look at Muktamba once

If she continues this vow,

the physician says it may kill her

(Holy chant)

Wearing this armor

is a weary load

I have to remove it

Will you help me?

Even the plants here

will have eyes

If you remove it, won't your

life's secret be known to all?

That means...

...you know my secret?

How?

When?

On the day of the engagement

Won't a girl recognize

another girl's first touch?

You knew before the wedding?

And still-

Why did you bow your head

and marry me?

For you to walk with

your head held high

I let you tie this

protection thread

I don't think of this

as a big sacrifice

You are the epitome of sacrifice

You don't bear the weight

of your armor alone

But the burden of this kingdom

I did not save only you

But millions of people too

You have understood

my plight so well

I bow my head

to your good heart

From this moment,

I accept you as my daughter

I'll also get you married

so that your life is not ruined

An ideal match from

the Chalukya clan...

...will be your perfect spouse

My wedding is not priority

When do you intend

marrying Veerabhadra?

This birth is for my people

My next birth is for you

Poignant philosophical lines

Touch your heart and tell me

you don't love me

Why do you betray yourself

by not having the guts to answer?

More than your life and

your personal desires...

...more than our friendship and our love

when the people matter more to you

...I can't bury my love within me

and still stay with you

Goodbye

I am not destined to

be married in this life

I will remain

as Rudradeva always

For the people of Kakatiya,

you sacrifice your comforts

To meet face to face

such a noble woman

And to serve her

I am indeed blessed

Don't worry about me

Focus on your duty

The man who ensures the people

of Kakatiya hear and sleep soundly

The man whose name makes

men like you wake up quaking in fear

That man

Rudradeva...

...is not a male

But a female

Rudramadevi!

25 years

We've been taken for

a royal ride for 25 years!

Ganapati Deva!

Just watch how we expose

this tremendous secret

For divulging such

earth shattering news...

...how do I, Madanika, get rewarded?

Will you leave me with just

this gold jewelry I am wearing?

We knew you were the spy

of Mahadeva rather belatedly

You must lean only to one side

even if you're a spy and courtesan

If you play a double game

this will be your fate!

This revelation is our most potent

weapon like the one created by Brahma

Shiva Devaiah!

They have probably come

to pay their respects in person

They are kith and kin after all

King Ganapati Deva is about to proclaim

a revelation of vital importance

Proclaim?

What?

Do you intend building

another new temple?

Color the fort walls?

Be silent and listen to the king

- Sure

- So be it

My dear subjects

and chieftains

Crowned as prince by me

And while seated in my assembly...

...he spread the glory of

Kakatiya reign in all 8 directions

I hereby announce the coronation

of prince Rudradeva as king

Long live, future king of

Kakatiya kingdom, Rudradeva!

Long live!

Long live!

What did I just hear you say?

Crowning ceremony for Rudradeva?

The prince will become the king?

Is that all or is there more?

Conform to the norms of

respecting the assembly

We will announce

what we intended to say

Resppppect!

You be respectful first

Then there is plenty of respect

we have to show in return

The person you thought

was prince Rudradeva...

...is not a male

But a female

Yes...by birth a girl

Rudramadevi

We announced a girl baby

to be a boy...

...for the welfare of the people

For our country's protection

For the Kakatiya reign

to prosper in the future

Rudramadevi was raised

as prince Rudradeva

And he regarded you

as his own children

Rudramadevi who made

Kakatiya period a golden one...

...on the full moon day in November

...we will express our gratitude

by crowning her as queen

With this, the court is dismissed

What was dismissed is not the court

But their royal bloodline

Rudradeva

'Shiva Devaiah realized

the secret was exposed'

'So he himself divulged the secret'

'And played a shrewd

political game'

The wishes accumulated

for 25 long years...

...you foiled in just

1 second, Shiva Devaiah

Don't think this is over

Cleaning the house spic and span

does not conform a festival

A proclamation does not

constitute a coronation

We will show you

our skill and expertise

"In the zenana, a statue lo and behold"

"Eyes flashing desire multi-fold"

"A stage of youthfulness

Perfect and peerless"

"A peacock dancing gracefully

in a jungle joyously"

"Bevy of roe deer aglow

fragrance bestow"

"Lands far and near

will laud your beauty, dear"

"At dusk under the jasmine bower,

a time to garland, capture the rapture"

"This beautiful damsel, zestful

enjoying life in its bounty plentiful"
