00:00These arms that sought warmth and appreciation,
00:08these eyes that longed for love all their life,
00:12and this chest, which remained impenetrable even without armor,
00:17have met their end along with you today, Karan.
00:20But your valor, loyalty, and heroism
00:22will set the sky alight forever like the shining sun.
00:30The same Pandavas I once defeated
00:39by rolling two little dice in a game of chance
00:42are forcing us one by one to bite the dust at Kurukshetra.
00:47While all we do is stand here like statues,
00:50mutely watching our warriors fall.
00:52If you say something, who will be our next commander
00:55and what should be our next step?
00:57The entire army is looking to you
01:01to issue the next command, nephew.
01:03Say nothing, Duryodhan.
01:07Do not issue any orders in anger.
01:10The battlefield is no place for deliberations.
01:12The Pandavas have paused the battle in honor of Karan.
01:16Let us make good use of this time.
01:18What?
01:27Wait, nephew, stop.
01:30Whatever's on your mind, you can share with me.
01:32I have nothing to say to you, uncle.
01:34I would like to be alone for a while,
01:36devoid of all thought.
01:37I know exactly who can calm my restless mind.
01:40The war that Duryodhan was so eager to fight,
01:51for which he went against his own family,
01:54now saw him riding away from it,
01:56dejected and alone.
01:59Burdened with countless deaths,
02:02disillusioned,
02:03questioning everything.
02:05Far more fierce than Kurukshetra
02:07was the battle he was fighting within.
02:24By nightfall,
02:26as his horse reached the northern mountains,
02:29I realized
02:30that he had gone to seek answers to his questions
02:33from the same wise sage
02:36who had blessed me
02:38with divine vision.
02:49Duryodhan,
02:50you fought so fiercely to win your throne.
02:55So why leave it behind to come to these mountains, grandson?
02:58I came to meet you,
03:00Marshae Fias.
03:03So,
03:04how can I be of help to you,
03:06crown prince?
03:07I'm no longer a crown prince.
03:09Have you given up already?
03:11The war has not seen its end yet, grandson.
03:14It's what I've come to ask you,
03:16great sage.
03:17What are we fighting for anymore?
03:19I've already lost
03:20most of my family and friends.
03:23What good is this throne to me
03:25when I have no one left?
03:26You,
03:27you are my father's father.
03:30You are a great sage.
03:32The past,
03:33present,
03:33and the future,
03:34you can see everything.
03:36Please tell me,
03:36with your divine vision,
03:38is it,
03:38is it still possible for me
03:40to win the war for the Kauravs?
03:42But win what,
03:43Duryodhan?
03:44And lose what?
03:45The Kauravs and the Pandavas
03:47both have my blood
03:48coursing through their veins.
03:50How can I decide
03:51who will win or lose?
03:53Hmm?
03:53Perhaps I asked the wrong question,
03:56but your answer cannot be wrong,
03:58great sage.
03:59Hmm.
04:00You are still the crown prince.
04:03The future of Hastinapur
04:04still rests on your shoulders
04:06and the crown on your head.
04:08The three most valuable jewels you have
04:10are still with you.
04:12Your uncle Shakuni,
04:14father Dhritarashtra,
04:16and mother Gandhari.
04:18If you cannot fight for yourself,
04:21then fight for them.
04:22The royal Kshatriya blood
04:24that has given you
04:25a life of grandeur and glory,
04:27fight for that blood.
04:29Remember,
04:30in times of chaos,
04:31be as still as the waters of a lake.
04:34Only then,
04:35will you be able to control
04:36the storm within.
04:38Whenever your mind is in turmoil,
04:40you will find me by your side.
04:42Do not pick up that plate yet.
04:44Crown Prince Duryodhan
04:46will be here soon.
04:47Yes.
04:48There aren't that many plates
04:49left here anyway.
04:51There was a time
04:52when we would run short of food
04:54for the warriors.
04:55Now we are running short
04:57of warriors to serve.
04:58This war has consumed all of them,
05:01one by one.
05:02And yet,
05:03its hunger is not satisfied.
05:05Your nephew Duryodhan's hunger
05:07is not easily satisfied either.
05:09He has quite a royal appetite.
05:12Dur,
05:13you,
05:14Dha,
05:15Na.
05:17Do you know what this name means?
05:19Yes.
05:20The one who is not
05:21easy to fight or defeat.
05:24By the way,
05:25where has our crown prince Duryodhan
05:27gone off to?
05:28He has not been seen
05:29since Skull's death.
05:31He could have at least
05:32shown up to eat with us.
05:38Nephew!
05:38Your hunger is no less great,
05:42your majesty.
05:43At least Arjun had to use his bow and arrow.
05:45You just used words to bring down Karn.
05:49Duryodhan,
05:49you may be crown prince,
05:51but watch your tongue.
05:51While you say whatever you feel like,
05:56I know exactly what you did.
05:57You said everything you could
06:00to break my friend's spirit.
06:01As his chosen charioteer,
06:03do you not think it was my duty
06:04to guide Karn during the battle?
06:06You guided my friend Karn
06:08straight to his death.
06:09I was just speaking the truth.
06:11And now,
06:11the next victim of your truth
06:13is probably going to be me.
06:14What are you trying to say?
06:16I don't know if I did the right thing,
06:18asking you to join our side,
06:20King of Madra.
06:21Because on the face of it,
06:22you might be with us,
06:23but in spirit you...
06:24Duryodhan,
06:25what are you implying?
06:26Are you accusing me of treason?
06:28Me,
06:28the one who fought against
06:29his own nephews
06:30just so he could uphold
06:31his promise to you.
06:32I have fought this war
06:34with the utmost loyalty to you,
06:35crown prince.
06:36If that is true,
06:38then prove it,
06:39King of Madra.
06:42Command me.
06:43What do you want of me?
06:44Leadership.
06:45You have to lead
06:47the entire Kuru army,
06:48King Shalya of Madra.
06:49What?
06:51Commander?
06:52Me?
06:53Commander,
06:54you.
06:58But you do not have
06:59any trust in me.
07:00What if I
07:01end up betraying you?
07:03The mantle once
07:06graced by
07:07Pitamaha Bhishma,
07:08Acharya Drone,
07:09and Karna as
07:10commanders of the
07:11core of army
07:12is now yours to wear.
07:14So,
07:14King of Madra,
07:15will you be able
07:16to take on this position?
07:18Crown prince of
07:19Hastinapur,
07:19I will commit every ounce
07:22of my strength,
07:23every breath in my body,
07:24and every drop of my blood
07:26to achieve victory.
07:27I will forget
07:28that Nakul and Sehdev
07:29are my sister Madri's sons.
07:31I'm a Kshatriya.
07:31I will fight for you
07:33until my last breath.
07:35Ashwathama,
07:36Krithvarma,
07:37come with me.
07:38We need to plan
07:38our strategy for tomorrow.
07:42Such clarity,
07:44such confidence.
07:45Hmm.
07:46I'm sure you went
07:47to meet with
07:48Maharshi Vyas.
07:50I already had
07:51an inkling you would.
07:52I no longer
07:53have any doubts
07:54about your decision,
07:55son.
07:55Oh,
07:56but I do.
07:57Why Shalya,
07:59nephew?
08:01Because if
08:10Duryodhan himself
08:11had become commander
08:12and then lost,
08:14the war would have ended.
08:15But if Shalya
08:16becomes commander,
08:17then he would...
08:17Then Uncle would cause
08:18our army great damage
08:19with his warrior skills.
08:20And after an entire
08:22day of fending off Shalya,
08:24when our feet
08:25have become sluggish
08:26and weary...
08:26Then the strength
08:27in our arms has faded.
08:28That is when Duryodhan
08:30will make his move.
08:31So that means
08:31Uncle Shalya
08:32is only a diversion
08:33that is meant
08:34to trick all of us.
08:35Whatever he may be,
08:36we will deal
08:37with Shalya.
08:38Of course.
08:39But not you,
08:39Drishtadyum.
08:41I want you,
08:42King Yudhishtir,
08:42to fight Shalya,
08:43the king of Madra,
08:45on your own.
08:46On my own?
08:47Do you remember
08:48the day when you
08:48had to return to camp
08:50because of Duryodhan's
08:51insult?
08:52Who was the person
08:53who brought Karna
08:54before you that day?
08:55How can I ever
08:56forget that moment?
08:57It was Shalya
08:58who was steering
08:59Karna's chariot,
09:00Madhav.
09:00Hmm.
09:01This is your chance
09:02to reclaim your
09:03self-respect and honour
09:04because this war
09:05will not last
09:06much longer.
09:07But your reign
09:08will be a long one,
09:09brother.
09:09And for your reign
09:10to last long,
09:11you will have to do
09:12more than win this war.
09:13You will have to win
09:14the hearts of the people.
09:16You are Dharmraj.
09:18You value justice.
09:19But a king does not
09:20ensure justice
09:21only through kindness.
09:23He must resort
09:24to force
09:25and sometimes
09:25even violence
09:26if necessary.
09:27And in this regard,
09:28you have yet to prove
09:29that you are truly
09:30capable, brother.
09:33The Korov army,
09:35once so vast
09:37that its numbers
09:38seemed limitless,
09:39had shrunk to such a size
09:41that it was all but gone.
09:43The war had now turned
09:45in the Pandavas' favor.
09:46But under Shalya's command,
09:48Duryodhan showed
09:49no lack of determination.
09:51Inspired by the great sage,
09:53Vyas,
09:54he was again
09:55the same Duryodhan
09:56whom one could not
09:57easily fight
09:58or defeat.
10:01The enemy thinks
10:02that he will win
10:03because we are outnumbered.
10:05But he does not know
10:06that even though
10:07we are fewer,
10:08we stand united.
10:11Hmm.
10:16When this war began,
10:17we had seven divisions
10:19in our army
10:19and they had 11.
10:20But that did not deter us
10:22because wars are not won
10:23with numbers
10:24but with unshakable courage
10:26and we have
10:27courage in abundance.
10:29We will fight past one.
10:31If they attack one warrior,
10:33we will all defend him.
10:34In 17 days of battle,
10:36we have been able
10:37to prove
10:37that no matter
10:38how powerful
10:39the unrighteous are,
10:40righteousness
10:41always triumphs.
10:42No matter
10:43how deep the darkness,
10:45a single ray of light
10:46will drive it away.
10:47that is why
10:48defenders of dharm
10:50on this 18th day of war,
10:52I, Yudhishthir,
10:53son of Pandu,
10:54take an oath
10:55that today
10:56we will put an end
10:57to this darkness
10:58once and for all.
11:00Satyamev Jai Teh!
11:02Victory to King Yudhishthir!
11:04Victory to King Yudhishthir!
11:06In a matter of moments,
11:12Yudhishthir's chariot
11:14stood facing
11:15Commander Shalya.
11:16What did you think?
11:17I would be that easy
11:18to defeat?
11:19Huh?
11:19You have only seen
11:20my skills as a charioteer.
11:22Now you will see
11:23my skills as a warrior,
11:24Yudhishthir!
11:24Huh?
11:27Huh?
11:28Huh?
11:30Huh?
11:31Huh?
11:31Huh?
11:32Huh?
11:32Huh?
11:33Huh?
11:33Huh?
11:34Huh?
11:35Huh?
11:35Huh?
11:36Huh?
11:36Huh?
11:39Go on, Yudhishthir!
11:41Call out to all your brothers!
11:43Everyone here knows
11:44that you were never
11:45much of a warrior!
11:46Call them!
11:47The king is challenging
11:49you openly,
11:49brother Yudhishthir.
11:51Pick up your powerful
11:52divine spear
11:53and show the world
11:54whether it is about
11:55duty or Kurukshetra.
11:57You are
11:57the real emperor.
12:02Close your eyes,
12:03Nakul and Sahadev,
12:04and cover your ears too!
12:06because listening
12:06because listening to
12:07your uncle's
12:07dying screams
12:08will be unbearable
12:09for you.
12:28Shit!
12:29Set your relationships
12:30aside to fight!
12:31That's more like a nephew
12:46Oh
13:14Oh, Shalya, what's this?
13:18Death at the hands of your own nephews?
13:21And you Pandavas dare to call Duryodhana unrighteous?
13:25You see? You see that, Shalya?
13:28You continue to be a good uncle to them.
13:30But your nephews cared neither about the bond you shared nor for your love.
13:37Oh, what dreadful darkness.
13:39Dreadful darkness!
13:40Yes, but we Kauravs are not like them, Shalya.
13:45We are ready to sacrifice our lives for our loved ones.
14:00Uncle!
14:10Uncle!
14:19Uncle!
14:21I don't know.
14:51The royal Kshatriya blood that has given you a life of grandeur and glory, fight for that blood.
15:03Command me, Pitama.
15:05Not a command, Durudhan. A word of advice. Call for peace.
15:12Calm your mind like water. Let go of every doubt and dilemma.
15:18Maharshi Vyas?
15:19I told you I would be by your side whenever you are in turmoil. Tell me, what do you want to say?
15:26What is left to say, great sage? And what difference will it make if I say it?
15:30I'm the one history will hold responsible for the war.
15:34Hmm. So you're worried about history, are you?
15:37But history is bound to ask a question. When your father, mother, even Pitama, Bhishma all desired peace, why did you not accept the treaty?
15:49As if a mere treaty could erase years of hostility. Would the Pandavas have forgotten the fire at the Palace of Lack after the treaty?
15:58Or would they have forgotten all the solemn vows they took after losing everything in the game of dice?
16:03Every peace proposal from the Pandavas was a trick. And I knew that if they regained the kingdom, they would unleash their wrath upon us?
16:12That is precisely why I rejected their proposal. History can make its own assumptions. But I only did my duty as a shaktriya.
16:22Duryodhan, your mind is rageful like the waves of a stormy sea. It needs to calm down. Steady your mind. Only then will you see the path ahead clearly.
16:33What is this commotion? Who are these men?
16:43Forgive us, your majesty. These men forced their way inside the tent. They are saying that they know where Duryodhan is hiding right now.
16:50You know where he is?
16:51Yes, your majesty. We admit we were a little drunk, but not so drunk that we would not recognize Duryodhan.
16:58How can you be sure it was Duryodhan?
17:00That enormous body. Those terrifying eyes. We can show you where he is.
17:07But, but your majesty, a little reward would be...
17:12I know these men. They are the ones who bring me something new to eat every day.
17:18Come on, take us to that place where that coward Duryodhan is hiding.
17:22Yes, prince.
17:23There, in that lake.
17:36There.
17:38In the lake. Underwater.
17:41Yes, in the lake.
17:42He is alive after being under such deep water for such a long time.
18:04Is he a mermaid or a fish?
18:07As it is, this lake is filled with crocodiles.
18:11There is no chance the prince is still alive in there.
18:14Yes, he is right.
18:16Had you been drinking all night and all day, it seems your mind has gone a bit dull.
18:20All right, all right. Now leave. We will take care of this.
18:23Yes, prince.
18:27Duryodhan, come out!
18:29Is this the same great Kshatriya way that you never tired of bragging about?
18:33Huh? And now you have dragged both your mace and your dignity underwater. Come out!
18:37This is your final warning, Duryodhan. Come out now!
18:46You are violating the rules of war by hiding here in this lake.
18:49Come out and accept your defeat right now!
18:53He is underwater.
18:54To ignite the flame of his anger while he is in this lake, your attack on him will need to be a lot sharper.
19:00You sacrificed Pitama, Bhishma and Acharya Drona for the sake of your war.
19:05King Dhritarashtra lost 99 of his sons because of you.
19:10And now you're hiding in there?
19:12Have you no shame, you slimy snake?
19:14You sacrificed everyone for your selfish gains.
19:18And now you don't have the courage to come out and face your defeat?
19:21And when have you ever faced anything, Yudhishtir?
19:24Ha! You hid behind your brothers every chance you had!
19:28And your brothers used deceit to kill everyone, whether it was Acharya Drona or Pitama Bhishma!
19:35Call it deceit or war, Duryodhan.
19:37We honored everyone on the Kurukshetra battlefield.
19:40Unlike you, who turned your back on the war and walked away from it.
19:44War? What is left of the war now, Arjun?
19:47My army, friends, brothers, you did not leave anyone alive!
19:51You are left, Duryodhan.
19:53Your selfishness, your endless ambition, and your jealousy still remain.
19:58Because of which everyone is dead, you coward!
20:00I am not a coward!
20:02I am not a coward!
20:02You are right, Yudhishtir.
20:23I am very ambitious and jealous!
20:26And for you five band of brothers, I'm your lifelong enemy!
20:29Enemy!
20:30But no, I'm not a coward!
20:32And unlike all five of you, I am not a hypocrite!
20:36Yes, I wanted the throne of Hastinapur because it is my path right!
20:41And to protect my rights is my duty!
20:44But what were you fighting for, Yudhishtir?
20:47The flag of honor that you waved so proudly was trampled into the ground by you yourself in Kurukshetra!
20:54You killed warriors with dishonor, and yet you call this a war for Dharva!
20:59Let us end it today!
21:01The final battle, the deciding moment of the Mahabharat that would determine the fate of the Kuru dynasty and of Bharat, had finally arrived.
21:13The entire Kaurav army had been wiped out, but the throne still stood as far away from Yudhishtir as it had 17 days ago.
21:22Because one warrior still stood unyielding as a mountain between Yudhishtir and the throne of Hastinapur.
21:31Duryodhan, a man who was extremely difficult to fight and defeat, almost impossible.
