Princess, l"m looking

for the prince as well.

He still hasn"t

arrived from Vijaynagar.

Hail the king of Madhavgarh.

Hail the crown princess.

Oh, I forgot.

This is my fiance John. - Hello.

Hello.

John also has a

passion for folk music.

That is why l"ve been

learning it from the prince.

And now, it"s time to

welcome our chief guest...

...the great governor general Fraser...

...who in the year 1872,

along with king Gyanendra...

...slew 4500 Pindari revolutionaries.

Now, we would like to

request Mr. Fraser...

...to say a few words.

Hello. Hello.

Hello, everybody.

L"m honoured to be present

in this Swayamvar ceremony.

And for this purpose,

we"ve got a warrior.

And that"s why, to make

this competition interesting...

...we"ve brought a warrior along.

With the king"s permission,

it has been decided...

...that any prince who

defeats this warrior...

...will win the princess"s hand

in marriage.

And here comes the

giant warrior Rhino.

The great warrior Rhino.

Who will fight with me?

Come down, and fight.

Is there nobody who can

fight with me?

Are there any real men here?

I need to see how

hot-blooded the royal blood is.

How dare he say that?

Say it, as I said it.

Is there a man among you?

I want to see the rage

in a Rajput"s blood.

What happened?

Has your rage died down?

Is that all the rage

that"s in royal blood?

The royal blood"s

filled with so much rage...

...that a single drop is

enough to burn your fair skin.

Glory to...

- Prince Mahendra Pratap Singh.

Glory to...

- Prince Mahendra Pratap Singh.

Veer!

Yes, l"m Veer!

The son of Prithvi Singh!

A Pindari!

Veer!

Veer!

"Solitude. Solitude."

L"ll cut you into so many pieces, that...

Yasho.

Dear, l"ve cradled you

for hours with this one hand.

L"ve tucked you in bed

with this one hand, and...

That"s why I always

followed my father.

But for a crown princess...

...Veer"s way is the righteous one.

Yashodhara is Prithvi Singh"s

daughter-in-law...

...and Veer"s wife.

If anyone tries to harm him...

...then Veer will wreak havoc...

...that"ll be worse than

earthquakes and storms.

Calm down, King.

The Pindaris have

taken over Madhavgarh.

And we"ve learnt treachery

from you.

We came to Madhavgarh

for making the preparations.

Half of your army has

advanced towards the jungle.

We"ve sabotaged almost

all of your canons.

And look, we"ve closed all the

secret passages for your escape.

Are you listening to this sound?

Listen closely, King.

The Pindaris have surrounded

the fort from all sides.

Now, you won"t be safe

behind these walls for long.

Sooner or later, you"ll

have to open your doors...

...for water and supplies.

If you don"t do that,

the hungry and thirsty people...

...will slay you along

with the British.

We"ll see who beheads whom?

- Your Highness.

Mr. Veer, you must know...

...that we British are

not afraid of massacre.

In your holy book,

the Bhagwat Gita...

...your Lord Krishna has said,

"War should be the final option."

So, Mr. Veer, you can

take Madhavgarh...

...and give us a safe passage.

I didn"t appoint you the

chief for this battle...

...so that you can think in

the favour of those British.

L"m not thinking in the

favour of the British.

L"m thinking about the

entire country, Uncle.

Veer. Why are you suddenly

concerned about the country?

This is our battle.

This is our country as well.

After going to England,

l"ve understood one thing.

There"s no point in

massacring a few British.

We"ll have to drive them

out of the entire country.

Let"s drive them out then.

Let"s drive them out

of the entire country.

Once we kill a few thousands...

...the rest will flee on their own.

Notjust the British.

The kings that attended the Swayamvar...

...the soldiers of Madhavgarh,

and a few hundred Pindaris...

...aren"t the only one"s

who"ll lose their lives.

But the innocent

and helpless...

...residents who live in

the palace will die too.

And if we can attain

Madhavgarh without battle...

...then why shed blood?

What should we do?

Like you say, should we lead

that king, that officer Frazer...

...and the British soldiers

to the border?

Those British have thought

of a wonderful plan to escape.

We want blood,

and not Madhavgarh.

They blew up our comrades,

have you forgotten that?

"Fire."

What do you feel?

Even if we let them go...

...they won"t come back again?

They won"t attack us again?

And won"t people die then?

They"ll deceive us,

and attack us as well.

People will die.

But at that time,

those deaths won"t be for revenge,

...but for a motive.

It"ll be for the country.

Just think, if we let them go today...

...and they come back.

We"ll have our entire force...

...but we"ll also have the

army of Madhavgarh.

And the people here.

And all the kings here...

...will realise how the British

enslaved them with deceit.

Then there won"t be any deaths...

but martyrdom.

And it"ll spread through

the entire country.

Today, we have the opportunity.

Someone will have to take this step.

How can we lose this opportunity...

...bestowed upon us by fate?

"Because we"ll avenge the

death of 4500 Pindaris..."

"...by massacring that rogue king..."

"...and each of his British friends."

"Then, I give me my word."

"L"ll behead the king and

each of his British friends."

"Or die myself in the effort."

Veer. A Pindari can never

go back on his word.

When it concerns the country...

Can you still not go

back on your word?

Then why didn"t grandsire Bheeshma...

...break his promise in the

Mahabharata (Hindu epic)?

Fine, it will be decided

tomorrow morning...

...between Prithvi and Veer.

Listen, the people of

Pindari dynasty don"t cry.

Veer.

Can"t this be averted?

I want to live.

As your wife. I want to spend

my entire life with you.

Today, we"ll live every

moment like a lifetime.

"You were peeking from the edges."

"From behind the moon."

"You were peeking from the edges."

"From behind the moon."

"I searched the entire world."

"But didn"t look in the eyes."

"You were right in front of me."

"Let"s soar away."

"Beyond the restrictions of time."

"Beyond the restrictions of time."

"Let"s soar away."

"Try to understand what

my eyes try to convey."

We"ll meet again.

Father, your son isn"t

that great a warrior...

...to tread on this righteous path.

You"re on the right path, Veer.

Pick up the sword.

Don"t give the world

an opportunity to say...

...that you aren"t my son.

Fulfill your promise.

And let me fulfill the promise

given to the Pindaris.

"What is the greatest thing

for a Pindari? - Courage."

"And greater than courage?

- Promise."

"And greater than a promise?

- Father."

"And greater than a father?

- Father."

"No."

"The country is

greater than your father."

"The country is

greater than father."

Whoever survives will do his duty.

Father.

Veer.

- Father! No!

Veer.

Greetings, Father.

Father, l"ll never let your
