00:00Om Suryaya Namah
00:08Om Suryaya Namah
00:16Forgive me, King Avang. I came here to gaze at the sacred fire.
00:21Actually, I thought I was alone.
00:23Then I should be the one apologizing for disturbing your solitude.
00:28Um, but to pray this late at night? And that too, to the sun god?
00:33For you, it is the last hour of the night. And for me, it is the break of dawn.
00:38My relation with the sun god is quite similar to yours with King Dhritarashtra.
00:43You give him all the news about the war, and I share the ups and downs of my fate with the sun god.
00:49Yes, but the sun has not even risen yet.
00:52When does the sun ever set Sanjay for it to rise?
00:55It shines constantly. Only the direction of its compassion changes.
00:59And it has finally rested upon you, King Avang. Congratulations on becoming commander.
01:05I will finally be able to convey some news of victory to the king.
01:09You have so much faith in my leadership.
01:11I always had faith in you, in your capability and your leadership.
01:16Thank you, Sanjay, for your kind words and good wishes. Now go and get some rest.
01:21If anything important happens, I will inform you myself.
01:28Good night, father.
01:30Please donate your armor and earrings to me, Karl.
01:44I, Lord Indra, am pleased by your generosity. Here is my celestial weapon.
02:01Whoever you strike with this arrow, the death of that person is certain.
02:05Forget about Arjun, and stop Khatodgac. Use your economy arrow now.
02:11Brahma weapon? Knowledge of the Brahma weapon can only be given to a Brahman or a Kshatriya.
02:17What are you, Karan?
02:18Now neither your impenetrable armor remains, nor the arrow that I gave you.
02:23So what do you have left?
02:24When did I have the power to pick what I needed for myself, Lord Indra?
02:29You came disguised as a Brahman and deceitfully took my armor to save your son, Arjun.
02:34Oh, so now I'm the one at fault.
02:37Do not vent your anger against your mother on me, Karl.
02:42Isn't she the one who comes in your dreams every night and abandons you over and over again with the same cruelty?
02:59You are...
03:22I have come to ask something of you, King of Angkarn.
03:25You should not have come here in such times. The war is upon us, and you are the enemy.
03:30You should stay safe with the other women in the inner chambers.
03:33The war is upon us, but I'm not the enemy.
03:36When it comes to you, I'm certainly not the enemy.
03:39How so?
03:40Because the woman who has come to meet you is neither the enemy nor the queen of any kingdom.
03:46She is neither Krishna's aunt nor the mother of the Pandavas.
03:50She has set aside her identity and relations just to come here and meet you.
03:55Then who is this woman who has come to meet me?
03:58I am Kunti.
04:00Your mother, Karl.
04:01I know it sounds unbelievable, but it is the truth.
04:10It feels like a lifetime has passed.
04:13I was just entering my adolescence when...
04:16Please, Princess Kunti, try not to say anything inappropriate.
04:21I have heard that the sage's temper is just like that of Lord Shiv's.
04:25That is why his name is Sage Durvasa.
04:28He was born from the wrath of Lord Shiv.
04:36Yes, and do not try to be too sweet either, because pretending to be sweet will make him angrier.
04:41I will just stay silent, I will not say a word.
04:44Oh no, no.
04:45Do not ever make that mistake.
04:47You know what he did with Shakuntala, don't you?
04:49What did he do?
04:50A curse.
04:51Sage Durvasa put a terrible curse on her, that she would be forgotten by her beloved.
04:56Why?
04:57She was lost in thought of her beloved and failed to say anything just like you.
05:01Sage Durvasa felt that Shakuntala had not given him due respect.
05:04I do not want to face Sage Durvasa.
05:07Take me back to my chambers.
05:09No, no.
05:10You cannot do that.
05:11Remember, you are a princess.
05:12It is your duty to welcome him and show him utmost respect.
05:15Yes, and it is also the command of your father, our King Kunti Bhoj.
05:19Do not be afraid, princess.
05:21You never know.
05:22He might get pleased with your devotion and grant you a boon.
05:25One that could change your life.
05:28My respects, great sage.
05:30No Kunti, you are of royal birth.
05:35Never mind me.
05:37Even if a god appears, you must not bow down.
05:40Hmm.
05:47Serving the revered sage Durvasa was when my true education began.
05:51Behind the harsh demeanor lay a gentle and knowledgeable guru from whom I learned humility, discipline, sacred chance, philosophy.
06:01I learned everything.
06:03Serving him was like a blessing for me.
06:06The doors of this kingdom will always be open for you, sage Durvasa.
06:18I do hope you are content with the respect and care my daughter showed you during.
06:35Hmm.
06:36Silence.
06:37Now I will speak.
06:39Child, I am very pleased with your dedication and devotion.
06:42I grant you a boon.
06:44Whenever you recite the chants I have taught you, keeping any deity in mind, that deity will bless you with a capable son.
06:54Did I not say he would grant you a boon?
07:01Sage Durvasa may have blessed me and departed, but he left me with countless questions.
07:06What if I forget the incantation?
07:08What if I say it wrong?
07:09What if I forget the incantation?
07:10What if I say it wrong?
07:22All my friends were playing in the river.
07:24And I was wondering, what were the words of that chant?
07:27And then I recited the chant by mistake.
07:30Oh, I'm sorry, I...
07:51Princess Kunti?
07:52Huh?
07:53Princess Kunti!
07:54Where are you, princess?
07:55Huh?
07:56Huh?
07:57Huh?
07:58An armor, earrings, the mark of the sun on your forehead.
08:01Oh, princess!
08:02Where are you?
08:03Huh?
08:04The sun god had granted you protection.
08:06But what about me?
08:07How was I to answer society's questions?
08:12Hmm.
08:13I...
08:14Was a tiny infant, lying in your arms.
08:17And you...
08:18You abandoned me.
08:20Social stigma, public ridicule, my naivete, call it what you want.
08:24But the reality is that, even though Sage Durwasa's boon worked and granted me a child,
08:29I was still too immature to be a mother, Karan.
08:36Princess Kunti!
08:37Where are you?
08:38Princess!
08:39Where are you?
08:40Princess!
08:41Where are you?
08:46Where are you?
08:47Princess!
08:48Hey!
08:49Hey!
08:50Hey!
08:51Hey!
08:52Hey!
08:53Princess!
08:54Hey!
08:55Hey!
08:56Hey!
08:57Hey!
08:58Hey!
08:59Hey!
09:00Hey!
09:01Princess!
09:02Did you look there?
09:03Princess!
09:04Oh, look!
09:05There she is!
09:06Here you are.
09:07Where were you lost all this while?
09:09Please do not play such pranks on us ever again.
09:12Come, let us return to your chambers.
09:14It is already very late.
09:15Come, Princess.
09:16Let us go.
09:28So that means, you did not take care of me for even a single day.
09:32Yet you claim to be my mother.
09:34Go ahead and address me however you want.
09:37But please listen to what I have to say.
09:40Did you bother to listen to the cries of that little infant?
09:43Or to the harsh taunts about being an orphan that I had to endure while I was growing up?
09:48The world kept calling me Sudhputra, the son of a charioteer right in front of you.
09:52Yet, you refused to hear it.
09:54I heard it, my son.
09:55I heard everything.
09:56I heard your cries, your humiliation.
09:59I recognized you that very day when all the Kshatriya princes had gathered together to display their martial skills.
10:06Hmm?
10:07And you threw a challenge to Arshun.
10:09You recognized me that day?
10:10Yes, my son.
10:12Not me.
10:13But a mother's heart instantly recognized her son.
10:16And shattered into a thousand pieces that day.
10:20Let's see which prince was the contestant.
10:27To the people gathered here from all over Hastadapur.
10:30Members of royal families, kings, soldiers, ministers and courtiers, and our citizens.
10:37We welcome you to a very special exhibition of skill in warfare and divine weaponry.
10:43Where Kshatriya warriors from all over the kingdom will demonstrate their strength and prowess in combat.
10:49I now invite our first competitor.
10:53He is a warrior whose courage and heroism need no introduction.
10:58The sound of his bowstring is reverberating around the arena.
11:03The son of Pandu, Arjun.
11:06Who will step forward to challenge Prince Arjun in this contest?
11:11Arjun! Arjun! Arjun! Arjun! Arjun!
11:14Who would have the courage to face Arjun in such a contest?
11:17Eh?
11:19They did to revive his bestfaced
11:20Arjun.
11:33What's going on?
11:35How's this house? How's it going?
11:54Who is this man? Who is it? What a spectacular...
11:56It's an intrigue.
12:05I am Kal. I am challenging Arjun to an archery contest.
12:17I request permission to speak, Your Majesty.
12:20You may speak.
12:21I think this challenge is completely inappropriate and unnecessary.
12:25It is unnecessary because Arjun is definitely going to win.
12:29And inappropriate because we do not have the slightest knowledge of this young man's lineage.
12:34Therefore, we cannot allow just about anyone to compete with a prince.
12:40First, he must establish his identity.
12:42A name alone is not enough.
12:44Tell us your father's name, young man.
12:46Yes, tell us. Where have you come from?
12:48Boy, say something.
12:52Oh, how strange. He doesn't even know his parents' names.
12:55Unbelievable. Why is he not saying anything?
12:58If he does not even know the name of his own father, how are we supposed to let him take part in a royal contest like this one?
13:07Hmm.
13:14When I saw your armor and earrings, I knew immediately that you were my son, Karna.
13:19What? You knew it was me and yet you did nothing? You stayed silent? Huh?
13:24Before the entire kingdom?
13:26Do you not understand what the consequences would have been for Hastinapur and the future of the Kuru dynasty?
13:32What about my future? Oh, forgive me. I completely forgot.
13:37You had drowned my future in the river as soon as I was born.
13:40And that is why neither is Hastinapur safe today nor is the Kuru dynasty.
13:44It is because of me that we are now forced to fight on opposite sides.
13:49I know that, Karna. And that is why I have come to you today.
13:53All my life I wanted an identity. Who am I? Where am I from? What am I doing here?
13:59The whole world wanted to know all this from me every single day.
14:02And now, now you come to me. Where was your motherly love that day when the whole world called me a charioteer's son?
14:11Duryodhan was the only one who ignored the jibes and embraced a charioteer's son as his own friend.
14:16Do you remember now? Why don't you say something? Come on, speak up. Give us an answer.
14:21Adhirath, I am Karna, son of Adhirath. The same Adhirath who steers your chariots and tends to your horses.
14:28I am Karna, the son of Adhirath the charioteer and his wife Radha.
14:32I stayed silent because I knew that your empty rules would never let me compete in this meaningless contest.
14:38Where Arjun has already been assumed the winner.
14:41Arjun, if you're courageous then where is this charioteer's son?
14:45First defeat me, only then can you claim the title of greatest Arjun.
14:51Stop!
14:53I, Crown Prince Duryodhan of Hastanapur, command all of you to end this injustice this very moment.
15:01They have no right to humiliate you in this manner.
15:04The two of us have trained for years under the same teacher.
15:07Ever since we were disciples, I've been hearing stories about your courage and heroism.
15:12You are more than a charioteer's son, Karna.
15:15You deserve to be known as a great warrior.
15:18I reject the rules that measure your worth by lineage.
15:21And, in honor of your courage, your strength, your capability,
15:25I entrust the kingdom of Ang to you today.
15:28I, I Duryodhan, declare you ruler of the kingdom of Ang.
15:33I humbly accept your command and your generosity, Prince Duryodhan.
15:40Until this day, I did not have any friends, any honor, or status.
15:45Nor any purpose.
15:47But now, I have it all.
15:49From today, my life is yours, my Prince.
15:52That day, I found my son, but I also knew that I had lost him to the Kaurav clan forever.
16:04And I realized immediately that Duryodhan had not granted that honor to you out of friendship.
16:10He had accepted you because of his own selfish intentions.
16:13You became indebted to him, Karna, and so our enemy.
16:17Duryodhan may have taken me in for his own selfish reasons.
16:21But you cast me aside for your selfish reasons.
16:24Huh.
16:25So answer me, who is more selfish of the two in your eyes?
16:28Never mind my selfishness.
16:30Think of what is good for all, Karna.
16:32Look, this forest, this river, this land, these waterfalls, the sound of birds calling.
16:40How beautiful all of it is.
16:42But if there is a war, none of this will remain.
16:45Do you really want that to happen?
16:47What I want has never mattered to anyone.
16:50All I ever wanted was respect, which I finally received from Duryodhan.
16:54Duryodhan showed me respect out of vested interest.
16:57And it is your vested interest too that has brought you here to me.
17:00You are not here for peace.
17:03You are here only to beg me to spare the lives of your five beloved sons.
17:07Believe what you want, Karna, but I have come here today only to plead with you as a mother.
17:12Hmm.
17:13All your life you chose to ignore the pain I was feeling.
17:16And now you expect me to pity you for the anguish you are feeling.
17:19Hmm?
17:20Because whatever I may be like, you are the same Karna.
17:23The strong and resolute, large hearted, Danveer Karna.
17:27Who never lets anyone go empty handed.
17:30This is not my mother, but a queen driven by politics who is talking to me.
17:34Even so, I will listen to you.
17:36And I give you my word, even you will not leave empty handed from here.
17:40So ask me, what do you want?
17:42My six sons.
17:45I do not want to lose even one of them in this war.
17:48Yudeshtar, Bhim, Arjun, Nakul, Sahadev and you Karna.
17:54Could you please forgive me?
17:56I beg of you my son.
17:58You alone have the solution to this crisis.
18:01If you choose to, you could restore peace.
18:04You can save everyone from this terrible destruction.
18:08If not me, then at least think about this kingdom.
18:12The fact is that you never had six sons.
18:14You only ever had five sons by your own claim.
18:17And I give you my word, that five of your sons will still be alive when this war is over.
18:22I will not take any of the Pandavas' lives except for Arjun's.
18:25Because either Arjun will die, or I will before this war ends.
18:30No matter what happens, five of your sons will still be alive.
18:36Hmph.
18:38Hmph.
18:42Hmph.
18:46Hmph.
18:49Hmph.
18:51Hmph.
18:52Hmph.
18:54Anth Kunti, why do you look so troubled?
18:56Your eldest son became commander of the army today.
18:58today are you not feeling happy for him i followed your advice and went to meet karna on the banks
19:05of the jahana vi river but he rejected my request hmm he had a right to do that aunt what has he
19:12ever received in life except rejection even from you all he got was disappointment so if he refused
19:18to listen to any of your pleas then that should not surprise you you are not surprised by his
19:23answer krishna then why did you send me to meet him at all we are just fulfilling our duty and so
19:29is he i don't understand any of this mother but you are all knowing all is in your power you can do
19:36anything i am asking you to protect my son's lives i am your aunt mother i am doing everything i can
19:44aunt but ultimately what must happen will happen time cannot ever change its course and a river
19:51cannot ever change its flow a seed carried away by the reverse current is gone and it will flourish
19:56and bloom on whichever shore it finally rests on what is in motion cannot be stopped now
20:03my respects for dhama huh
20:06my respects for dhama huh
20:32why have you come here now karna you asked for your blessings why on earth would you need my
20:39blessings karna even if i do not need them the commander of the core of army does
20:44congratulations karna you finally got what you always longed for an opportunity to show your valor
20:53and a battlefield to conquer all of kurukshetra is now yours how strange this is pitama you are bhishma son of ganga and i am karna son of a charioteer yet it was the currents of the ganga river that carried me to shore it was the same guru who taught us parashuram and yet our lives were so different you went from being devivrat to pitama bhishma and i i remain the son of a charioteer i never called you the son of a charioteer
21:20but not calling me that does not change the truth pitama the truth the truth is that i have always known the secret about your birth
21:27the truth is that i have always known the secret about your birth what you knew
21:35hmm narad and maharashiv yas had told me long ago i never saw you as a charioteer's son i was angry with you
21:45because of your improper behavior towards the pandas but there was never any lack of affection for
21:53you karna words of affection have no effect on me anymore and in any case it is too late for this
22:00conversation pitama because i have reached a point where i have earned through my own strength what
22:06should have been mine all along there is no longer any difference between you and me
22:11we are both commanders now but history will remember us very differently you who despite all
22:18your powers could not win this war for the corals and i who despite all my limitations
22:24will finally defeat the pandas at kurukshetra
