Sampoorna Ramayanam

---

"With great faith and humbleness,

we present "Sampurna Ramayan"... "

"... at your service, but with this

plea, that the greatness of... "

...Lord Rama is impossible

to convey in many movies...

let alone one!

We begin the film with

The marriage of Sita

My dear invited valiant knights...

your fortune and strength

will be tested here today.

I've vowed that whoever

breaks this bow of Shiva here...

...will be wed to my

dear daughter Sita

Anyone amongst you can try

his luck and strength

"Lord of the three worlds,

Lord of the Lords... "

"Most powerful of all,

a devotee of Lord Shiva... "

King of Lanka, Ravana. "

- What do you say?

- Even if we all try together...

...this bow will not budge an inch!

I realise my mistake.

I invited cowards instead of heroes

The weak instead of the powerful

and made a fool of myself!

"Let alone breaking it, couldn't

one of you even budge it an inch?"

"Today I've realised, the world

is lacking in valiant heroes"

You may all go home now.

Let Sita remain unmarried

"And from today, don't consider

yourselves to be brave soldiers"

"O' King of Mithila,

take your words back. "

Why?

- You don't know how profound...

...a man Lord Ram is

"With his Guru's blessings, he can

toss the universe like a ball"

Reduce mountains to rubble

with just one blow

And this bow... he can snap it

to pieces like a lotus-stalk!

Laxman...

"Ram, King Janak is

very disappointed"

- Break this bow and make him happy.

- As you wish O' Guru. But...

I wasn't invited here

I invite you now Lord Rama.

Try your luck too

Dear Holy Mother...

Long live Lord Rama

Wait!

Parshuram?

"- Greetings, O' great one.

- All that later... "

"First tell me, who broke this Bow?

- Your slave, O' Lord"

"He's no slave, but an enemy!

- You're asking for trouble!"

"- Vishwamitra, who's this boy?

- My disciple. "

"Son of King Dasharatha, Laxman.

And this is his elder brother, Rama"

- But I can see no virtues in him.

- How can you?

Man becomes blind when angry.

- Listen boy!

Sorry!

- This boy talks too much!

Sound him about my nature.

- You made it obvious when you entered

You may not know this...

"But with this very axe, I've

destroyed your warrior race 21 times"

Then you couldn't have

encountered Rama and Laxman!

Laxman! Why are you bent

on dying at my hands?

Want to bite more than you can chew?

Do you think we're so cheap?

- I think you're a fool.

- It takes one to recognise another.

- Laxman!

- Please...

He doesn't know your wisdom and power

Then explain it to him.

I'm bad tempered and merciless

- No wonder you beheaded your mother!

- And now I'll behead you!

Wait! Behead me instead.

He's innocent. I broke the Bow

"You did, eh?

Then, I'll severe your head"

There cannot be two Ram's on earth.

It'll be either Ram or Parshuram

Why doesn't my axe lift?

Who has snatched all my power?

"Rama, pull the string of this bow,

and remove my doubt"

Enough! My work is done

"O' Rama of Parshuram,

hosanna to you"

"Now I neither want this bow,

nor this axe!"

Your Majesty...

I've some good news for you.

- That's why I'm so smitten with you.

"You'll be happy to hear it.

- Then tell me quickly, O' Queen. "

I've just fixed an auspicious day

with the Royal astrologer

To get the boys married once again?

- No

For the accession of our

Rama to the throne!

My dear!

- But...

- No buts and if's.

People want him to be the king

I wish him to be the king too.

You'll have to respect everyone's wish

I'll think about it.

- We don't have the time

Make arrangements for his accession

quickly. The Astrologer said...

...we have fourteen days from today.

The 15th day will make him King

"He'll become the King, not only

of Ayodhya, but the world"

This way there was celebration

all over Ayodhya

Today is the 14th day

of the celebrations

"In the presence of King Dasharatha,

the Royal performers... "

...performed the "Story of Madan"

To disturb Lord Shiva from

his deep meditation...

"Kamadev, invoked the

Lord of the Seasons, the spring. "

"Kamadev's wife, Rati, also joined

her husband in the dance"

"When all their efforts failed,

Kamadev shot the cupid arrow... "

And Lord Shiva's meditation

was broken!

Shiva's third eye opened

"And in the fire from it,

Kamadev was burnt to ashes"

Poor Rati, fell at Lord Shiva's feet"

In the end Shiva calmed down

and blessed Rati

"That she'll get her husband back

as Aniruddha, Krishna's grandson"

Wait!

My darling Queen Sita will

wear this crown? Throw it!

See this one here.

No! That one

Let me see that. No...

There! This is better

"- Your Majesty, they're all nice.

- True. They are all nice"

You wear them all.

- I'll bear all the weight?

"Leave some for him too.

- Ofcourse, I had forgotten"

"Dress up my daughter-in-law,

while I see to my Rama"

"Manthara, one should watch

one's step on such auspicious events"

"She gets night blindness

during the day too, your Majesty"

Shut up!

Listen Manthara...

Wait!

What's wrong with you?

Why are you crying? Tell me!

I'm crying over your misfortune.

I'm crying over your son's future

What did you say?

- I'm watching since 14 days...

Thought you'd see some sense.

But you didn't

What are you suggesting?

- You've gone blind with joy...

And somebody's paving

your path with embers

Who?

- Kaushalya

"What nonsense, you talk.

You home-breaker!"

This house will remain as it is.

But you'll have no say in this house

"- Why not? - From tomorrow,

Kaushalya will rule the roost"

I'll be very happy.

- Rama will be the King

That'll be fortunate

for everybody

"- But for you, it's unfortunate.

- Manthara!"

Kaikayi...

"The King loves you more than his

other wives, Kaushalya and Sumitra"

That's why Kaushalya

is jealous of you

"When Rama becomes the King,

she'll take her revenge"

And then your smile shall turn

into tears when you...

...and your son Bharat will be

thrown out on the streets!

This is what truth

rewards you with!

"Shut up!

- No, I won't. "

Because I'm loyal to you

O' Queen whether Rama becomes

the King or Bharat becomes the king...

"I'll always be a slave,

won't I?"

But whatever I heard

with my own ears...

...I've to tell you as my duty.

- What did you hear?

As I was passing Kaushalya's

quarters last night...

I heard her grind her teeth

and say...

What?

"Let Rama become the King,

I'll then set that Kaikayi straight"

Did you hear this yourself

or from somebody else?

Such things aren't said in the open

Have I ever told you

such things before?

"No

- Then, why would I start now?"

The King and Kaushalya have

planned all this on the sly

They sent your son to your parents

and are crowning Rama as the King

I myself asked the King

to Crown Rama

But I see through it all

Why do you think Kaushalya

loves you as a younger sister?

"Because she knows, your son

will one day become the King"

That's why she taught Rama

to love you more

She's great!

What didn't she try to make...
