This story belongs to the

fearless Pindaris (warriors)...

...whose saga of

bravery was not considered...

...as a part of

history by the British.

But they could not stop

them from becoming a legend.

"Justice. Fraternity. Equality."

"That"s why the sun never

sets on the British Empire."

Are you from London Times?

- Yes, London Times.

Ram Singh, you"ve been with king

Prithvi Singh for a long time. - Yes.

Tell me something.

At a time when the entire

country is following Gandhi...

Everyone talks about non-violence...

...but Your Highness Prithvi Singh...

...is preaching violence.

Why?

And why does he hate us so much?

Why doesn"t he have

faith in the British Empire?

Faith.

Faith leads to betrayal.

"Year 1862, when Chandangarh

attacked Madhavgarh."

Hail the prince.

We can"t wait any longer.

Chandangarh"s army is

overpowering our army.

Order the reserve troops

to march forward.

It"s not necessary that wars

are always won with might.

They"ll be here soon.

You"re putting the lives of your troops

at stake for those Pindaris

They must be drunk with their local brew...

...and must be wading in a pile of muck.

Though you know that Pindaris...

...are men of their word,

you still do not believe that they...

These inebriated Pindaris might be...

...loudmouths and uncivilised.

But once they are astride their

horses wielding their swords...

Now, the reserve force

will be useful to us.

Chief. The crown prince has invited you

for a drink to celebrate the victory.

The chief of Pindaris Hyder Ali...

...only drinks with the kings.

Prithvi.

- Yes, Chief.

Go.

Magan, Chaman.

- Yes, Chief.

Naunihal. - Yes, Chief.

- Bhairav. - Yes.

All of you go along with him.

And get our lands back from him.

- Come on

Victory be to Guru"s Khalsa.

Chief...

- Calm down.

It needs to be dealt with calmly.

Didn"t Hyder Ali come along?

Prince, even your

father king Sangram Singh...

...wouldn"t address Pindari

chief Hyder Ali by just his name.

Save your attitude for the enemies.

At the moment, I want to

conquer the entire province.

Of course. But we made a

pact only for this battle.

And, in return, you

...return us our lands.

- I surely will.

But first, let me

introduce you to my friends.

Your father said that the British...

...are in favour of Chandangarh.

Prithvi. Prithvi. Prithvi.

This is politics,

and it"s beyond your knowledge.

You just enjoy the English liquor.

Bring it forth.

We drink only the

blood of these British.

What era are you living in, Prithvi?

We should only befriend the rulers of

half the world

...and not take up enmities.

Prince...

- Naunihal!

Are you done?

Return us our lands,

and get lost from here.

Land? Where do you want your lands?

There?

Do you want it there? There?

There?

Or below the stairs of our palace?

Where you"ll always get

to witness my progress...

...even after you"re dead.

And as far as your

companions are concerned...

Take a look.

Treachery.

Prithvi, we"ll deal with them later.

We need to save our

Pindari brothers first.

Let"s get down there. Quickly.

Fire.

Kill them.

Prithvi, get out of here. Be quick.

But Chief... - Go. Don"t think.

Go. We"ve been deceived.

Don"t let them escape.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Come on.

It is our mistake.

We trusted the wrong man.

The king.

L"m the only one

entitled to be punished.

That"s why l"ve decided...

- What"ve you decided, Chief?

Haven"t we lost enough men...

...that we should lose another one?

We"ll leave our homes.

Burn down our fields.

We"ll spread in different directions...

...as rebellious farmers and warriors.

And then we won"tjust get our lands back

...but drive the king

and the British out...

...and conquer Madhavgarh.

We won"t drive them out!

We"ll behead them.

Because we"ll avenge the

death of 4500 Pindaris...

...by massacring that rogue king...

...and each of his British friends.

Then I give you my word.

L"ll behead the king and

each of his British friends.

Or die myself in the effort.

"When these messages reach foreign land...

"...they"ll cause only grief."

"When these messages reach foreign land...

"...they"ll cause only grief."

"Krishna..."

Prithvi, our power was unmatched.

But what could we do?

No, Prithvi.

We"re illiterates

and ignorant people.

How will we ever think

cunningly like the British?

Lt"s a boy.

Congratulations, Chief.

- Congratulations, Chief.

Chief, it"s raining.

The child will get drenched.

Where are you going?

He has to keep going.

He has to keep going.

He has to travel a great distance.

He"s my Veer. Rain or

storm holds no meaning for him.

Veer.

Veer. My Veer.

Get up, Veer.

Father, watch my move now.

Oh, God. - Pick him up!

Oh, he"s picked me up.

Come on, Veer.

Father, one day, l"ll

throw you in the water as well.

Bravo.

Veer, learn to control your anger.

The future expects a lot from you.

Look out, Veer.

Pindaris are coming.

Prepare to fire.

Princess. The Pindaris are here

to loot the train.

Let"s go.

The dacoits are here.

Put in some more coal.

Bravo, Veer.

Go, Veer.

Lousy Pindari.

Whichever part I get hold off,

I rip off five kilos of flesh.

Tell me... treasure... India.

From here to London.

There is no treasure.

Veer, there"s a

royal coach here as well.

No, there isn"t anyone here.

There"s no treasure here.

This is the ladies coach.

There"s no one here.

L"ve heard that the Pindaris...

...always protect women and children.

There"s only the princess here.

I swear on Lord Ram.

Let"s go.

Listen. Take this jewellery.

But please return that toy.

That"s her mother"s last memorabilia.

Veer is back. Veer is back.

Veer and Punya are back.

Everyone is back. Look.

Mother.

Punya!

Mother.

- Come on.

Your Punya has

robbed an entire train.

Are you telling the truth?

- Yes. I did it all.

Go tell father that

he can go ahead, and...

...buy as many weapons as he

wants to attack Madhavgarh.

Where is Veer?

Father. Where"s father?

If I get hold of you, I

will pin you down today.

Go ahead.

Why are you two fighting again?

Why did you get them educated

if this is what you wanted them to do?

Yes, I did get him educated.

And I wanted to get

him educated further.

Stop it.

He nudged me. He nudged me.
