00:00Tushala!
00:10Tushala!
00:12You have already wiped her him.
00:14I have a million mother.
00:16And what of my tears?
00:18Neither is my husband.
00:20Jayadarath alive to wipe them.
00:22Norah, my hundred brothers.
00:26Let these tears flow, Tushala.
00:32Don't hold them back.
00:34This stream of tears will turn into a flood.
00:38And wash away all the injustice suffered by us women.
00:42Hail the King of Dharm Yudhishthir!
00:46Hail the King of Dharm Yudhishthir!
00:50Hail the King of Dharm Yudhishthir!
00:52Hail the King of Dharm Yudhishthir!
00:54Hail the King of Dharm Yudhishthir!
00:56Hail the King of Dharm Yudhishthir!
00:58Hail the King of Dharm Yudhishthir!
01:00Hail the King of Dharm Yudhishthir!
01:02This very same Hastinapur had once insulted us
01:04and thrown us out like beggars.
01:06And today, today they have come out
01:08to welcome us back dressed in
01:10all the colors of the rainbow.
01:12You have noticed the seven colors of the rainbow.
01:14But have you seen the eighth color there?
01:16The one standing at the back
01:18staring at you with countless
01:20unanswered questions.
01:22It is silent, yet so anguished.
01:26It holds every hue,
01:28every color within itself,
01:30yet remains bereft of color,
01:32the color white.
01:34Dressed in white,
01:36these widows
01:38stood waiting to hear one voice.
01:40That of their fallen queen.
01:42A queen,
01:44who had lost not only her throne
01:46and kingdom, but her entire world
01:48in this terrible
01:50eighteen day war.
01:52Who in spite of losing a hundred sons,
01:54remained a pillar of strength
01:56and courage for other women.
01:58But behind her calm demeanour,
02:00I could clearly see a volcano waiting to erupt.
02:06Your majesty,
02:08having won at Kurukshetra,
02:10the Pandavas are now approaching the palace.
02:12Oh, who all are there Sanjay?
02:14Dharmaraj, Yudhishthir,
02:16Bheem,
02:18Arjun,
02:20Nakul and Sahadev.
02:22And with them is...
02:24Vasudev Krishna.
02:30We have all wronged you elder father,
02:32and we deserve your anger,
02:34not your forgiveness.
02:36But we still seek your mercy and grace.
02:38Have you come to seek the...
02:40blessings of your elder father or his throne?
02:44Hmm?
02:46But son,
02:48first tell me where your younger brother Bheem is.
02:50Let me get a feel of his valour.
02:52His strength.
03:02Bheem?
03:04Son?
03:06Come here.
03:08Come here Bheem.
03:10Bheem?
03:12How can you still be alive after shattering my heart to pieces,
03:14you murderer?
03:16You drank my Dushasan's blood, did you not?
03:20I shall squeeze every last drop of blood from your body!
03:28Your majesty!
03:30To tell you the truth, I never drank the Shasan's blood, your majesty.
03:38I only pretended to do so to fulfill my vow.
03:40Huh?
03:42Bheem?
03:44Brother Bheem is alive and safe as well.
03:46That was just an iron statue made in Brother Bheem's likeness on which Duryodhan would regularly practice defeating him.
03:52So...
03:54So you placed that?
03:56I sense the fury within you, your majesty.
03:58Besides, with Duryodhan's passing,
04:00this statue had neither a purpose nor a companion.
04:02It is very good that you have destroyed it.
04:04It is very good that you have destroyed it.
04:06I hope it gave you a release for your anger.
04:08Now, could you please give them your blessings?
04:14May success be yours, Hans.
04:16May success be yours.
04:18Grant us permission, Elder Father.
04:20Kurukshetra waits for us to fulfill our final duty and end this 18-day war.
04:26You did not give us your blessings, Elder Mother.
04:29I did not put a curse on you either, Dharmaraj Yudhishthir.
04:33Mother, you were queen of this kingdom.
04:36Today, after winning the war, I stand here with my head bowed before you.
04:40Even so, if you believe that I am deserving of your punishment and not your blessings,
04:45then please punish me.
04:51You cried out in pain at the slightest burn on your toe, Yudhishthir.
04:56This pain you feel is nothing compared to the hundred wounds
05:00that you have inflicted on me.
05:02Once Lord Krishna had come to Hastanapur with a peace proposal.
05:07But the king ignored my advice
05:09because he was unable to look beyond the obstinacy of his dear Duryodhan.
05:14Today, the decision is yours, your majesty.
05:16Do not refuse an offer of peace this time.
05:18Vidur, you? Back from your pilgrimage, Prime Minister?
05:21Yes, your majesty.
05:23After all, this broken, grieving family is mine as well.
05:27Please do not taint this period of mourning with the fire of hatred.
05:31I have always considered you a symbol of tolerance and generosity, Queen Gandhari.
05:35Come, Vidur.
05:39Let us go to Kurukshetra and bid a final farewell to both the past and the future of Hastanapur.
05:47This mother's grieving heart will never find peace here.
05:51We'll never find peace here.
05:52Mmm.
05:54Hmmm.
05:58Hmm.
05:59Hmm.
06:00Aah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
06:06Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
06:08Eek chukti lagi hai, dharma ku.
06:09There is a gap between the earth and the earth has fallen.
06:19There is a gap between the earth and the earth has fallen.
08:31Look at us, Gunthi.
08:35The two daughters-in-law of Hastinapura, both tied to the same clan, legacy, and now the same fate, Kurukshetra.
08:43Everyone says what has to happen will happen, but what I want to know is, who is answerable for all that did not happen?
08:54What do you mean?
08:56I mean, what if Dhritarashtra had not been born blind? Then Pandu would have never ascended the throne, and the question of succession would have never come up.
09:07And what if Pandu had never married Madri, then the curse upon him would not have killed him.
09:12The question of succession would have never come up then either.
09:16What did not happen, why it did not happen, I do not know.
09:19But what was destined to happen, happened as it should have.
09:24And what would have happened if the dice of time had no side for ifs and buts?
09:31Oh, my God.
09:31No, my God.
09:33No, my God.
09:35What would have happened, I would have been born in the soul.
09:39Oh, my God.
09:44What would have happened to the soul today?
09:47What would have happened, I would have happened to the soul today.
09:55It is a dream, it is a dream
10:03It is a young, it is a moon
10:12The moon is a moon, it is a moon
10:21The moon is a moon, it is a moon
10:28The moon is a moon, it is a moon
10:33The moon is a moon
10:39There lies my father Drupal
10:42And those two, my brothers
10:45And there are my five sons, mother
10:50This war has taken my entire family from me, mother
10:58Revenge is like a huge boulder perched on a mountain top, my dear
11:02With the slightest push, it starts to tumble down
11:06And crushes everything along its way as it gathers face
11:10Your rage and your inciting words were the push that set this war in motion, Draupadi
11:16They sent that boulder of revenge tumbling down on everyone
11:20Now the consequences lie before you
11:23Consequences? And what about the consequences that I alone had to suffer?
11:28Because your sons wagered their own wife away in a game of dice without thinking of the consequences
11:34And yet I am to blame
11:36The blame will always fall on that person, Draupadi
11:40Who gets everything that she has asked for
11:44You waited eagerly for the death of each of my hundred sons
11:48Whom your husband Beam slaughtered one by one with unimaginable cruelty and savagery
11:56Because you, you wanted your revenge
12:00Ears are not blind to what they hear
12:04They can also see
12:06The horrors of being dragged by the hair
12:09Still creep upon me
12:11Another woman was shamed
12:14Yet you stayed mute to her suffering
12:17Your own son was the perpetrator
12:19Yet you did nothing
12:21As the thorns of insult dug into my breasts
12:25What did you think?
12:26I felt honored
12:28The bow of vengeance released an arrow that led
12:32To this war of bloodshed unheard
12:56Come, princess of Kuntibhuj
13:01Look, I have brought all your sons together in Kurukshetra
13:07Including the one who did not know for most of his life
13:11That he was your son
13:13How long will you stand here before these burning pyres, your majesty?
13:33What do I have left in my life anymore apart from these funeral pyres?
13:38Perhaps, perhaps I am a burning pyre myself
13:41The rising cloud of black smoke will release the souls of these warriors
13:45But you, you must free yourself of this bitterness and rage too
13:49So why do you not set me and my rage free in a funeral pyre, Vasudev Krishna?
13:55You are God after all
13:58You can do anything
14:00You can hide the sun with a single gesture
14:03You can see everything
14:05The past, the present, the future
14:07Devaki, Nandan, Vasudev, Krishna
14:09So why did you not stop this calamitous war?
14:12I made every possible attempt, your majesty
14:15I warned them all about the horrendous consequences of this war time and time again
14:19Even you could not stop it, Queen Gandhari
14:22You knew very well that your son was in the wrong
14:25And that is why you never gave him your blessings for a victory
14:29My blessings were for the righteous to be victorious
14:33But you left no room for righteousness in this war
14:36You were not just steering Arjun's chariot
14:39You were steering the entire war
14:42You set every rule, every law and boundary aside
14:46So your chosen Pandavas could win
14:49I did not choose the Pandavas
14:52I offered my help to both the sides in equal measure
14:55It was Duryodhana who chose my Narayani army
14:57You dare not utter my son's name from your lips, Keshav
15:01The sins you have committed in the name of dharma in this war
15:05Will never be forgotten or forgiven by history, never!
15:10History may judge this war however it likes your majesty
15:13I took the side of the Pandavas not for history but to create a future
15:17You are concerned about the future, Keshav?
15:20Yeah, I will make sure that you are free from this concern of yours forever
15:26I put a curse upon you
15:28Just as you have destroyed my bloodline
15:31One day even your entire bloodline will be wiped out forever
15:38Your kingdom of Dwarka will be submerged in the blink of an eye
15:42Without a trace of its existence
15:45And there will be no one left alive to mourn and weep over your death
15:51This is a grieving mother's curse on you!
15:55No!
15:56No!
15:57No!
15:58No!
15:59No!
16:00No!
16:01No!
16:02No!
16:03No!
16:04No!
16:05No!
16:06No!
16:07No!
16:08No!
16:09No!
16:10No!
16:11No!
16:12No!
16:13No!
16:14No!
16:15No!
16:16No!
16:17No!
16:18No!
16:19No!
16:21No!
16:22No!
16:23No!
16:24No!
16:25No!
16:26No!
16:27No!
16:28No!
16:30No!
16:31No!
16:32No!
16:34No!
16:35No!
16:36No!
16:37No!
16:38Wait, sons!
16:41Mm?
16:42What is wrong, mother?
16:43There is a chapter from the past that I must cleanse today.
16:48Isn't that why we have gathered here?
16:52Arjun, my son, I hope you can forgive me.
16:56What's wrong? What is it, Mother?
16:58A crime I committed and concealed from all of you.
17:03Your crime?
17:05The crime of abandonment, Yudhishthir.
17:09The abandonment of a son who could never call me Mother even once in his lifetime.
17:19Whom you always considered your enemy.
17:22Who had to hear taunts about blood, family and lineage his entire life.
17:29Karan, the King of Ang, was your brother.
17:34He was your elder brother, Yudhishthir.
17:39Karan was my firstborn son.
17:44My eldest son.
17:47My eldest son.
17:50He was my son.
17:54This means I took my own brother's life.
17:58He...
18:00He kept asking me to wait.
18:02He begged me.
18:03And I...
18:04Wait, Arjun!
18:05I did not listen to a word he said.
18:07I looked him straight in the eye and took his life ruthlessly.
18:13Please forgive me, my son.
18:17I can forgive you, Mother.
18:20But who will forgive me for what I did?
18:24You kept us in the dark about this all these years?
18:28You have no idea what you have done, Mother.
18:32No.
18:33This can never happen again.
18:36It is my curse that from now on no woman will be able to hide the truth again.
18:42A terrible truth, darker than death itself.
18:58So much so that the king's conscience grew weary with doubt just before his coronation.
19:06Now, who could bring Yudhishthir back from this spiral of despair?
19:12Struggling with a whirlwind of questions, Yudhishthir?
19:17No.
19:18With the lack of answers, Keshav.
19:21It is called a dilemma, my dear brother.
19:23A dilemma that you are currently having to deal with.
19:27The same dilemma that those watching this tale will also face.
19:30Throughout these 18 days and even before, who was right and who was wrong?
19:36King Yudhishthir, in this dark tumultuous sea of self-doubt, take my hand.
19:41Let me be your guide as I take your boat to safe shores.
19:46And you, you who are watching me from a very distant future, do not let go of my hand either.
19:54Because if there is anyone who can guide you through this sea of doubts, it is me.
