00:00Far more damaging than a lie is a half-truth, because we can always deny a lie, but a half-truth
00:11carries both the assurance of truth and the betrayal of lies. Be it history or legend,
00:19nothing is ever untouched by half-truths, because historians themselves are not sure
00:24if the history they have written isn't the truth or merely the half-truth.
00:30Deceit, treachery, and sorcery. In the 14 days at Kurukshetra, I had seen everything.
00:37Abhimanyu, Bhurishrava, Jayadrat, Somadhat were all killed by dishonorable means.
00:43The attacks on unarmed warriors, clashes between demons and humans, battles fought even after sunset.
00:50It was as if a dark cloud had descended on Kurukshetra. Amid such deep, dark corruption,
00:58how long could the integrity of an honest man survive?
01:02Um, your majesty? Why are you wearing your armor?
01:10Why? Am I not a warrior? Or not worthy of this armor?
01:14Your majesty, you are both a warrior and worthy. But at present, you're injured. Your wounds have not healed properly yet.
01:20You called me your majesty, Yudhishthir? Of course, my king.
01:25What kind of king? The kind of king who rests here in ease and comfort, nursing his wounds while his army dies outside?
01:32Or the kind of king who lets his nephew, Ghatotkaj, be ruthlessly killed and watches his brother Bhim mourn his son while he just sits here counting his precious battle wounds?
01:43It is my duty to keep you safe. I cannot allow you to go to the battlefield.
01:47And what about my duty? What is the righteous king, Yudhishthir's duty?
01:50It is only natural that you find these circumstances oppressive, my king.
01:54And my right to the throne of Hastinapur?
01:57That too. You are the eldest of the Pandavas. You are unmatched in the use of the spear.
02:02But surely you are not simply a king. Because you are a great warrior and the eldest.
02:08Then why am I king? Because you are the most steadfast. Your loyalty to the truth is unwavering.
02:14And your knowledge of dharm is unparalleled.
02:17But the burden of my flaws is no less heavy, King Virat.
02:21Yes. But I remember that young man who came to me under the guise of a Brahmin called Kank and helped me in my efforts to defeat King Susharma of Trigart.
02:30And when I found out he was the righteous king, Yudhishthir, my heart was filled with joy.
02:36The year of disguise.
02:37That was the one and only time when even you had to hide behind the lie, your majesty.
02:44Even then, I did not resort to a lie, King Virat. Because the kank bird is the symbol of Dharmaraj. And I am the son of Dharmaraj.
02:53So you did not resort to lying at that time as well. That is why I have pledged all my power and support to you in this war.
03:00And it is this honesty that drew me to your side, brother.
03:04I am Duryodhana's stepbrother. And yet, it is you that I stand with in the Kurukshetra war.
03:09Hmm.
03:24Ashwatthama, my son. How are your wounds healing? You had to fight such a fierce battle with Ghatotkuch yesterday.
03:31These wounds are like trophies for me, father. I am a warrior. I am your son, but your disciple as well.
03:39I will never retreat from battle.
03:43Your teacher does not have a grain of doubt about your bravery, but I am your father as well.
03:49I fear that this war will take-
03:51Mm-hmm. Nothing will happen to me, father. And I won't let anything happen to you either.
03:56Cast aside your fears and these useless sentiments. Your emotions are allowing the Pandas to grow more regressive.
04:02And warriors like Duryodhana and Karna to be irreverent. It is time to show them your ferocious side, father.
04:08Of course, my son. Today's battle is something you will never forget.
04:15May you live long, my son.
04:18I shall remember your blessings and your words, dear father.
04:21May you live long, my son.
04:24It's time.
04:28May you live long, my son.
04:30May you live long, my son.
04:48On the 15th day, the core of army began the battle, divided into two parts like the forked tongue of a snake.
04:54Saraini army, to the left! Soldiers, move to the left!
04:56Hastinapur had a lot of allies because they were the rulers. However, they had many enemies too,
05:02who had joined the war on the side of the Pandavas.
05:05For the Pandava army advancing in the trident formation, the kings of Chedi, Kekaya, and Srinjai kingdoms were spearheading the three prongs of the trident.
05:18Behind them was King Drupad's vast Panchal army.
05:21And fighting alongside Yudhishthir, the Matsya kingdom led by King Virat followed.
05:28Bhim, Shikhandi, Drishtadyumna guarded all of them with their army of elephants.
05:34But today, the commander of the core of army, Dronacharya, had a very different air about him.
05:39It has been 14 days, Acharya, and Pandavas have barely sustained a scratch.
05:48But now, my faith in you is wavering too, Acharya.
05:52Is it possible, perhaps, that you have broken our trust in the very same way that your childhood friend King Drupad once broke yours?
06:01Commence the attack!
06:09If they treat Chedi Kekaya evam Srinjai atyai, the most of them!
06:15Drupad, how does it feel to be so helpless?
06:36Once even I had sought your help in a state of utter helplessness.
06:41Do you remember that day?
06:43Where do you think you're going? Stop right there.
06:52I have come to meet King Drupad. He is, he is my childhood friend.
06:58The king? A friend?
07:00Well, I am king enough for the likes of you. Ask me, what is it you want, beggar?
07:04Watch your words, gatekeeper. I may be poor, but I am not a beggar.
07:08Go on, go and sit outside a temple. You will find some charity there and friends too.
07:18This is not your royal court. You are denying me entry from this royal court. Now you will see.
07:25I am a brahmer and a warrior. One day, I shall turn your great king into a beggar.
07:33And your downfall shall begin with the destruction of your banjal army.
07:44And your downfall shall begin with the destruction of your banjal army.
08:00I am drunk! Today will be your last day!
08:02I am drunk! Today will be your last day!
08:08I am drunk!
08:19Kesa, why are you charging away?
08:22Are you trying to save me from the three-pronged attack by Karan Duryodhan and Shakuni?
08:26I know you can fight all three of them, but Arjun, there is no need to do that at this moment.
08:30Brother Arjun, I'll take care of them. You take care of Dronacharya.
08:40Today he has destruction on his mind. You're the only one who can stop him.
08:44I'll take care of Dronacharya.
08:59Sahadeva and Nakul!
09:02Karan!
09:03Uncle Chakuni!
09:05Let's flank them from both sides!
09:06Yes, why not?
09:07We will defeat them and resume our attack on Arjun!
09:09Die!
09:13There is something very wrong here, Keshav.
09:15What do you mean?
09:16It looks like Acharya Dron is attacking our army and our allies.
09:19But he's not attacking me. Why?
09:22He is distracting you with Duryodhan and Karan, and this is robbing you of your strength.
09:27He needs to be stopped, Keshav. But how?
09:40Today's battle has only just begun, and the Panchal army is already in this state.
09:47Where is Drupad?
09:48It's Drupad!
09:51Look over there, a cloud of dust.
09:53A fierce battle must be going on there.
09:55I shall go there with my army.
09:57What's your army? Stay alert!
09:59Move forward! Move forward, man! Move forward!
10:02I am ashamed that I was ever your friend.
10:07Which friend, Drupad? The one you have been dreaming of killing for so long?
10:13You killed our friendship before all who were assembled in your court!
10:25What are you looking at? Move!
10:32Long live the king. Your majesty, this Brahman is claiming to be your friend.
10:43And you took him at his word?
10:45We tried to stop him, your majesty. Then he argued with us and said,
10:49I will turn your king into a beggar.
10:51Some modacity you have. How dare you come into my court and threaten me?
10:55We are not of the same standing, Drupad. But friendship is blind to such differences.
11:00I am living in such extreme poverty.
11:05You had promised to give me half of your kingdom, but I am not even asking for that.
11:12I am asking for just ten cows from your hordes of cattle.
11:16My wife, Krippi, and Sir Ashwatthama will live well on just that much.
11:21Only ten cows? Take all the cows in my cow shit.
11:24Heh!
11:25First, you come here and threaten me in my court. And then you start begging?
11:29Take this beggar away. Throw him out!
11:32In the middle of your court, you insulted this priest mercilessly that day.
11:36Now face a warrior in the middle of this battlefield, Drupad!
11:47Rude!
11:48Do you remember this face, Drupad? There was a time when you refused to recognize it.
12:05Today, it is the face of your doom. What will you do now?
12:10Do you remember this face?
12:11Do you remember this face?
12:12Do you remember this face?
12:14You remember this face?
12:15Drupad! Don't start calling your arrows!
12:18Your majesty, your majesty.
12:32The Lord's our king.
12:34Father.
12:35Father.
12:36You accepted me fully for who I am.
12:41May God grant peace to your soul.
12:45Father.
12:45Father, it is my misfortune that I could not fulfill your wish while you were alive.
12:51And it is Acharya Dron's misfortune that your wish will be fulfilled after your death.
12:56Because I am going to make him suffer so much.
12:59So much that he would want me to kill him but even death would shy away in fear.
13:04I will keep my vow and avenge you, father.
13:07His revenge shall be fulfilled?
13:09Possibly.
13:10In your dreams.
13:11Your father, your army, they are all dead.
13:14But your dream never seems to die.
13:16My son is on one side.
13:19Kripacharya on the other.
13:21And you believe that you are going to kill me?
13:25The one warrior capable of stopping me has already been distracted in a fierce battle with Duryodhan.
13:31Dhrishtyamn.
13:32Acharya.
13:36And Duryodhan could stop me?
13:38Is that what you really thought, Acharya?
13:39Brother, you here?
14:01You should be resting back at the...
14:02If I cannot protect myself, how will I protect Hastinapur?
14:06I am here because I am needed here.
14:09The Matsya army is now my responsibility.
14:11This quality is what makes you a great leader, brother.
14:13You give us an apt solution to every problem.
14:16By the way, there is another problem.
14:18And again, you alone must solve it.
14:20What problem, Keshav?
14:21The profound problem of deciding between life and death.
14:25The death of Dronacharya.
14:26What do you make of this, brother Yudhishthir?
14:42How much longer is it possible for Arjun and Dhrishtyamn to push back against the Acharya's ferocious form?
14:48Only you can show us the way, Keshav.
14:50The Acharya must be disarmed to be stopped.
14:53But why would Dronacharya lay down his arms?
14:55What if he received the news of Ashwatthama's death?
15:00Draupadi's father has been killed.
15:02Who will you fight for now?
15:07You traitor!
15:09You call yourself a great warrior, Ashwatthama.
15:11Is that all the power your gem can muster?
15:13You attack ordinary soldiers to flaunt your so-called bravery.
15:16Fight me if you are truly brave.
15:19Yudhishthir!
15:22Let's do this.
15:25What are you saying, Keshav?
15:26Ashwatthama is no less of a warrior.
15:28His divine weapons, mastery of the bow, fierceness.
15:31He is not any less than his father in warfare.
15:33But he is not immortal, is he?
15:35Who will kill Ashwatthama?
15:37We can kill him or simply give Acharya the news that Ashwatthama is dead.
15:41A lie?
15:42But that would be wrong, Keshav.
15:44It would be wrong, brother Yudhishthir, for Duryodhan to sit on the throne of Hastinapur if you lose.
15:49Then both right and wrong would be slaves to Duryodhan's will.
15:52Say what you want, Keshav.
15:54But I cannot commit one wrong in order to stop another wrong.
15:58I simply cannot tell a lie.
16:00What is a lie?
16:01And what is the truth?
16:02If the accuracy of your words is considered the truth,
16:05then I give you every assurance that whatever you say will definitely be the truth.
16:10I don't understand, Keshav.
16:13Madhav, we must save Dheshtadyumna and Arjunth before Drodacharya's wrath destroys them.
16:18I don't understand.
16:26I don't know.
16:28I don't understand.
16:38Bheym, Ashwatthama.
16:39Hmm.
16:40Hmm.
16:40The time has come to send you off to meet your father and your sons, Trishtudum!
16:59What is this?
17:10Trishtudum!
17:34Aaaaaahhhh!
17:40Do you really think I would believe this lie of yours
18:10Get up Bheem, I cannot face Dhrone on my own
18:13And I alone am enough
18:14Your plan proved unsuccessful Madhav
18:20Patience Dharmraj, the plan is still in motion
18:23Then please complete it quickly
18:25Because Dhrishtha, Dhyumna and Bheem don't have much time left
18:27I should complete it
18:29The plan has to be completed only by you brother Yudhishthir
18:32Me? What do I have to do?
18:34Ashwatthama has been killed
18:36The Acharya will believe it only if you say it
18:39But that is not the truth
18:40The one that is dead is not Dhronachare's son
18:42But an animal, an elephant
18:44But his name is Ashwatthama
18:46Killed by Bheem himself
18:48Do not weigh righteousness only on the scales of truth and lies brother Yudhishthir
18:52Measure it against the touchstone of the future
18:54Do not consider only your personal values my king
18:57Think about the welfare of your people too
18:59Because in fact that is your prime duty as a king
19:02I can only show you the path
19:05Choosing to walk on that path is your decision
19:08And you have to make that decision right now
19:10Because the future of Bharat is in your hands
19:13A single statement from you
19:15Will determine the future of the world today
19:17Ashwatthama has been killed
19:32Ashwatthama is no more
19:36But not the man, the elephant
19:42How does it feel to get the news of your son's death, Acharya Dhron?
19:54If Yudhishthir has said it
19:58Then it must be true
20:00Because he never lies
20:03My son is no more
20:07My faith does not allow me to carry on after this
20:13When an elephant dies
20:18Its family wails in mourning
20:20But they never forget its killer
20:22They do not forget
20:24Until they have had their revenge
20:26Today the earth at Kurukshetra
20:40Did not stain red with Dhron's blood
20:43It turned black
20:44Because the truth had fallen under the sword
20:47With his death
20:48The truth for the sake of which the Kurukshetra war was being fought
20:53Had died today
20:55Because in order to win
20:56A truthful man
20:58Had surrendered to a half-truth
21:00This was the moment
21:02That turned the abandonment of truth
21:05Into a necessity
21:06For every war to come
21:08But this was just the eve of the darkness to follow
21:12The most savage and terrifying chapter
21:16Of the Kurukshetra war
21:17Was about to begin
21:19We must appoint our new commander before the next sunrise
21:29One is Karan
21:30The other is Ashwatthama
21:32The sacred fire has chosen the next commander for us
21:35See the sun's likeness within the flames
21:38Shoot your arrow
21:39Go on and take Karan's life
21:41But he's clearly unarmed
21:42Keshav
21:42How can I just
21:43Abhimanyu was also unarmed
21:45This is the only justice for the unrighteous
21:47The Kauravs and the Pandavs
21:50Both have my blood coursing through their veins
21:53Calm your mind
21:55Like water
21:56You remember my chivas
22:00Don't you Duryaten?
22:04There is one quality for which you will always have my respect
22:08Your courage
22:08Your strength
22:09And your reputation as a truly remarkable warrior
22:12And for this you do not deserve thorns
22:15But a shower of petals
22:17You waited eagerly for the death of each of my hundred sons
22:26Another woman was shamed yet you stayed mute to her suffering
22:31Wait sons
22:35What is wrong mother?
22:37I hope you can forgive me
22:39A crime I committed
22:42And concealed from all of you
22:45I took the side of the Pandavs not for history but to create a future
22:52You are concerned about the future Keshav?
22:56Yeah
22:56I will make sure that you are free from this concern of yours forever
23:00I put a curse upon you
23:03This is not the end
23:06But the beginning of the end
23:08But the beginning of the end
23:08The bloodline of the Pandavs has come to an end
23:17I am concerned about the end
23:18And the end of the end
23:18But the end of the end
23:19That's what I want to get
23:19I want to get
23:22And the end of the end
23:23And let me see
23:24Because I have to find
23:24But I have to find
23:25But by the end of the end
23:26And I will continue
