- Who are you?

Mercy. Don't listen to others.

"Lust, Anger, Ego, Greed

will ruin your reputation"

Listen to me. Return Sita

and seek Rama's mercy

"- Shut up, you coward!

- Who are you?"

Anger!

"Ravana, you're the conqueror

of Heaven, Earth and Hell"

"Who isn't afraid of you?

Fight Rama, I say!"

"Battle it out with Rama,

and he'll be victorious"

Hear! Hear!

Quiet!

"Laxman, you're taking me on?

Good!"

Save Laxman, please"

"- Very difficult.

- Don't say that, sir"

"I'm willing to die in his place.

Save him somehow, sir"

There's but one way.

If anyone brings Sanjivani herb...

...then I can save him

"Let me go, My Lord.

I'll get the herb"

- Before the sunrise however.

- How do I recognise it?

It emits light...

That's Sanjivani's identity

Bless me, My Lord"

- Praise to Lord Rama.

- But hurry back

Every bush emits light here.

Can't make out the real one

I'll carry the whole mountain.

He can pick the herb himself!

Brother Laxman...

Open your eyes... Laxman...

"Wake up, Laxman...

How will I face mother Sumitra?"

Wake up, brother"

Hanuman has come

Better hurry, sir"

I had asked you to bring the herb.

You brought the whole hillock?

What could I do? I saw

light in every herb and bush

So I got confused.

Thought I'd take the whole hillock

So you can pick what you want

- Where's Meghnad?

- Laxman!

Brother, you?"

"Coward! Hearing my challenge,

you're folding your hands?"

"I'm not bowing to the warrior,

but the scholar in you!"

War is fought with

a scholarly-warrior

Then arm yourself!

- Take guard!

His naval contains ambrosia.

That's why he doesn't die

"Shoot an arrow in

his naval, O' Lord"

Long live Lord Rama

"Laxman, Ravana isn't just a scholar

of our vedas"

He's a great politician too

"Before he dies, go and learn

politics from him"

"- O' renowned scholar, Ravana.

- Who is it? Laxman?"

- What do you want?

- I've come to learn politics from you

What did you say?

Learn politics from me?

"- Who sent you?

- I did. My respects, sir"

A long life to you

See Laxman? See how you

and Lord Rama differ

Knowledge is procured sitting

at the feet. Not on the head!

Listen carefully, Laxman... "

"Harmony, cost, punishment

and division. "

One who uses these qualities

fairly as per the circumstances...

...is a true politician

Teacher, minister, doctor... "

watchman, neighbour... "

...and brother. One should

never have enmity with them.

"Knowing this, you locked

horns with Lord Rama?"

Had I not done that...

how would I have won?

Won? What do you mean?

"Lord Rama, I didn't let you come

in Lanka, while I lived"

"But today, I'm going to

Heaven in your presence"

Lord Rama...

Lord Rama...

"Sita is pure. With her touch,

I too have been purified"

Accept her, Rama"

- Dear husband...

- Dear Sita...

Praise Lord Rama.

And mother Sita too...

"Hanuman, what do you

want as a reward?"

- An eternal place at your feet.

- We'll never be away from you

My Lord!

I want nothing else now.

"Hanuman, you risked your life

to reunite me with my husband"

And you should go unrewarded?

In form of a gift...

...take these necklace of beads

"Hanuman, why are you

biting those beads?"

- I'm looking for Rama in them.

- Surprising!

"An intelligent devotee like you,

searches for Rama in these?"

"If there's no "Ram" in them,

they mean nothing to me!"

- Then your body's useless too.

- Why?

Because it has no Rama

"O' learned one,

my body has no life in it"

- But it has Rama and Sita in it.

- Any proof?

Proof?

"A devotee's reputation

is in your hands, My Lord!"

Praise Lord Rama!

"Raghupati, Raghav, King Rama.

Holy two-some, Sita-Rama"

"Forgive me, husband.

I'm innocent"

- Have mercy.

- Show mercy?

To a slut like you? Get going!

Why are you hitting her?

What has she done?

I'll tell you. She was away

two nights without my permission

- I had gone to my father's...

- Lies!

I won't repeat this mistake

You may or may not.

But I can't forgive you

"A spoken word, a woman's foot...

Once it's out, it's out forever"

From today you're dead to me!

I beg you dear husband.

Don't discard me like this

Get lost!

I'm no Rama to keep

you in the house!

"Shut up! You talk like this

about the great glorious, Rama?"

"Not just me, but every child

in Ayodhya is saying it"

Ram accepted Sita even after

staying with Ravana for months!

But I'll not accept her!

What a joyous day!

Mother has asked me to tell you...

"- What?

- Well, just that... "

Come on, tell me"

- You're not to eat spicy things.

- Put your step carefully

And what about you?

- What will she advice us?

The usual. Not to lift

heavy things. Not to eat mud!

Your Majesty!

His Majesty is here

"- Welcome, your Majesty.

- I've come to congratulate you"

"Sita, this is a very happy

moment in a woman's life"

- And isn't it so in a man's life?

- Why not? Your joy is my joy too

And...

- Sita's desires?

- Are my desires too

"- Tell me, what do you desire?

- Don't know why, but... "

...I feel like visiting groves

and wives of the ascetics

That's a very pious desire.

I'll make arrangements right away

- What's your complaint Lady?

- My husband has discarded me

- I want justice My Lord.

- You'll get it in the royal court.

Take her respectfully

to the guest house

Dear husband... are you worried?

- No.

How cruel are those husbands

who throw their wives out

They're heartless.

They aren't fit to be humans!

I can't stand injustice to woman

Long live the King!

"O washerman, what you said then,

you'll have to say it here"

I... I...

I just...

You needn't be scared.

Say what you want to frankly

I've been humiliated by this

woman in my community

How?

She stayed out two nights

without my permission

"Dear lady, you should apologise

to your husband for this folly"

- I'll never forgive her!

- Oh! Why not?

"Not just me, but the

whole community has doubts"

Doubt without proof is futile.

And to doubt a woman's character...

...without proof is a heinous

crime in my eyes

Isn't it sin to accept her back

having proof of her folly?

He's slinging mud at

the dignity of the King!

My job is to clean mud

not to sling it!

- You're crossing your limits!

- But I'm telling the truth

Quiet! In my realm everyone's

equal and free to voice his opinion

"You can lynch me if you like,

but I ask you this"

How many amongst you will

take back a wife...

...who has stayed in the house

of your enemy? Tell me

Answer me

"Today, the King and his people

both shall get justice"

Sita has been tested-by-fire

in Lanka.

We didn't see it.

Do the people of Ayodhya

doubt Sita's innocence?

"Tears, and in your eyes?

But why?"

I have to abandon Queen Sita.

- Abandon the Queen?

- What's her crime?

- That she's innocent

And even then you'll abandon her?

"The people doubt Sita,

who stayed with Ravana"

Doubt! What right do

they have to doubt her?

"If a King has a right over his

people, they too have a right on him"
