Short filmTranscript
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,
00:18nothing is ever untouched by half-truths because historians themselves are not sure
00:24if the history they have written is the truth or merely the half-truth. Deceit, treachery, and sorcery.
00:32In the 14 days at Kurukshetra, I had seen everything. Abhimanyu, Bhurishrava, Jayadrat, Somadat were all killed by dishonorable means.
00:43The attacks on unarmed warriors, clashes between demons and humans, battles fought even after sunset.
00:51It 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?
01:06Um, your majesty, why are you wearing your armor?
01:09Why? Am I not a warrior? Or not worthy of this armor?
01:14Your majesty, you are both a warrior and worthy.
01:16But at present, you are injured. Your wounds have not healed properly yet.
01:21You called me your majesty, you yutsu.
01:24Of course, my king.
01:25What kind of king? The kind of king who rests here in ease and comfort,
01:30nursing his wounds while his army dies outside?
01:32Or the kind of king who lets his nephew Ghatotkaj be ruthlessly killed
01:37and 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.
01:46And 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.
02:07Then why am I king? Because you are the most steadfast.
02:11Your loyalty to the truth is unwavering. And your knowledge of dharm is unparalleled.
02:17But the burden of my flaws is no less heavy, King Virat.
02:20Yes. But I remember that young man who came to me under the guise of a Brahmin called Kankh
02:26and helped me in my efforts to defeat King Sushirma of Trigarth. And when I found out he was the righteous king Yudhishthir,
02:33my heart was filled with joy. The 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 Kankh bird is the symbol of Dharmaraj.
02:51And I am the son of Dharmaraj. So you did not resort to lying at that time as well.
02:56That is why I have pledged all my power and support to you in this war.
03:01And it is this honesty that drew me to your side, brother.
03:04I am Duryodhan's stepbrother. And yet, it is you that I stand with in the Kurukshetra war.
03:21Ashwatthama, my son. How are your wounds healing? You had to fight such a fierce battle with Ghatotkuch yesterday.
03:32These wounds are like trophies for me, father. I am a warrior. I am your son but your disciple as well.
03:38I will never retreat from battle. Your teacher does not have a grain of doubt about your bravery.
03:47But I am your father as well. I 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
04:01aggressive. And warriors like Duryodhan and Karna to be irreverent. It is time to show them your ferocious
04:07side, father. Of course, my son. Today's battle is something you will never forget.
04:15May you live long, my son. I shall remember your blessings and your words, dear father.
04:23It's time.
04:37May you live long, my son.
04:47On the fifteenth day, the Korov army began the battle divided into two parts like the forked tongue of a snake.
04:54Bharaini army! To the left!
04:55Soldiers, 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.
05:06For the Pandava army advancing in the trident formation,
05:10the kings of Chedi, Kekaya and Srinjai kingdoms
05:14were spearheading the three prongs of the trident.
05:18Behind them was King Drupad's vast Panchal army
05:21and fighting alongside Yudhishthir,
05:24the Matsya kingdom led by King Virat followed.
05:28Bhim, Shikhandi, Drishtadyumna
05:30guarded all of them with their army of elephants.
05:34But today, the commander of the core of army, Dronacharya,
05:38had a very different air about him.
05:41It has been 14 days, Acharya,
05:44and Pandavas have barely sustained a scratch.
05:47But now my faith in you is wavering too, Acharya.
05:52Is it possible, perhaps, that you have broken our trust
05:56in the very same way that your childhood friend,
05:59King Drupad once broke yours?
06:03Commence the attack!
06:09It is a tree, Chedi, Kekaya,
06:12evam, Srinjai, Atyai, Samoftam!
06:15Drupad, how does it feel to be so helpless?
06:36Once even I had sought your help
06:38I had been a state of utter helplessness.
06:41Do you remember that day?
06:50Where do you think you are going?
06:51Stop right there.
06:52I have come to meet King Drupad.
06:54He is,
06:55he is my childhood friend.
06:56The king?
06:59A friend?
07:00Well, I am king enough for the likes of you.
07:02Ask me,
07:03what is it you want, beggar?
07:04Watch your words, gatekeeper.
07:06I may be poor,
07:07but I am not a beggar.
07:10Go on,
07:11go and sit outside a temple.
07:13You will find some charity there and friends too.
07:16This is not your royal court.
07:20You are denying me entry from this royal court.
07:23Now you will see.
07:25I am a brahmer and a warrior.
07:29One day,
07:30I shall turn your great king into a beggar.
07:33And your downfall shall begin
07:36with the destruction of your Panchal army.
07:46Today will be your last day.
08:03Keshav,
08:20why are you charging away?
08:22Are you trying to save me
08:23from the three-pronged attack
08:24by Karan Duryodhan and Shakuni?
08:26I know you can fight all three of them,
08:28but Arjun,
08:29there is no need to do that at this moment.
08:33Brother Arjun,
08:38I'll take care of them.
08:39You take care of Dronacharya.
08:40Today he has destruction on his mind.
08:42You're the only one who can stop him.
08:59Sahadeva and Nakul.
09:02Karan.
09:03Uncle Shakuni.
09:05Let's flank them from both sides.
09:06Yes, why not?
09:07We will defeat them
09:08and resume our attack on Arjun.
09:12There is something very wrong here, Keshav.
09:15What do you mean?
09:16It looks like Acharya Dron
09:17is attacking our army and our allies.
09:19But he's not attacking me.
09:21Why?
09:21Hmm.
09:22He is distracting you
09:24with Duryodhan and Karan
09:25and this is robbing you of your strength.
09:27He needs to be stopped, Keshav.
09:29But how?
09:29Today's battle has only just begun
09:42and the Panchal army
09:43is already in this state.
09:44Where is Drupad?
09:48It's Drupad!
09:50Your Majesty!
09:51Look over there.
09:52A cloud of dust.
09:53A fierce battle must be going on there.
09:55I shall go there with my army.
09:57What the army?
09:58Stay alert!
09:59Move forward!
10:00Move forward, man!
10:01Move forward!
10:02I am ashamed that I was ever your friend.
10:07Which friend, Drupad?
10:09The one you have been dreaming of killing for so long?
10:13You killed our friendship
10:15before all who were assembled in your court.
10:25What are you looking at?
10:26Move!
10:32Long live the king.
10:36Your Majesty,
10:37this Brahman is claiming to
10:38to be your
10:39your friend.
10:43And you took him at his word?
10:45We tried to stop him, Your Majesty.
10:47Then he argued with us
10:48and said
10:49I will turn your king into a beggar.
10:51Some modacity you have.
10:53How dare you come into my court
10:55and threaten me?
10:55We are not of the same standing, Drupad.
10:58But
10:58friendship is blind to such differences.
11:00I am living in such extreme poverty.
11:04You had promised to give me
11:06half of your kingdom.
11:08But
11:08I am not even asking for that.
11:11I am asking for just ten cows
11:13from your
11:14hordes of cattle.
11:16My wife, Krippy
11:17and Sir Ashwatthama
11:19will live well on just that much.
11:21Only ten cows?
11:23Take all the cows in my cow shit.
11:25First you come here
11:26and threaten me in my court
11:27and then you start begging?
11:28Take this beggar away.
11:30Throw him out.
11:32In the middle of your court
11:34you insulted this priest
11:35mercilessly that day.
11:36Now face a warrior
11:38in the middle of this
11:39battlefield, Drupad.
11:46Drupad.
11:48Do you remember this face, Drupad?
12:00There was a time
12:01when you refused
12:03to recognize it.
12:05Today
12:05it is the face
12:06of your doom.
12:08What will you do now?
12:10Drupad?
12:16Drupad?
12:16Do it's that
12:16volley of arrows!
12:17Don't!
12:18Don't!
12:29Drupad!
12:29Your majesty!
12:31Your majesty!
12:32You will also are king!
12:34Father!
12:35Father!
12:36You accepted me fully
12:38for who I am!
12:40May God grant peace
12:42to your soul!
12:45Father!
12:45It is my misfortune that I could not fulfill your wish while you were alive.
12:50And 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, so 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? Possibly.
13:09In your dreams, your father, your army, they are all dead, but your dream never seems to die.
13:16My son is on one side, Kripacharya on the other.
13:20And you believe that you are going to kill me?
13:24The one warrior capable of stopping me has already been distracted in a fierce battle with Duryodhan, Dhrishtadom.
13:32Acharya!
13:36And Duryodhan could stop me, is that what you really thought, Acharya?
13:39Huh?
13:59Brother, 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.
14:08The 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.
14:24The death of Dronacharya.
14:26What do you make of this, brother Yudhishthir?
14:41How much longer is it possible for Arjun and Dhrishtadyumna 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.
14:52But why would Dronacharya lay down his arms?
14:55What if he received the news of Ashwatthama's death?
14:57Dronacharya'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!
15:20Let's do this.
15:24What 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.
15:57I 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 Dheshthir Dhumne Narjan before Drodhacharya's wrath destroys them.
16:19No wonder, Keshav....
16:20Oh, my god.
16:21No wonder!
16:21No wonder!
16:22No wonder!
16:22No wonder!
16:22We must save you for a while, Keshav.
16:23No wonder!
16:24Keshav.
16:24He's already dead!
16:25God!
16:25No wonder!
16:26Hyah!
16:27Oh, my God!
16:28Ugh!
16:30Acht!
16:30Acht!
16:31Bin!
16:31Acht!
16:32Acht!
16:32Acht!
16:33Bha!
16:34Keshav.
16:36Acht!
16:36Bha-
16:38Huu!
16:38Bha-
16:39Bha-
16:40Bha-
16:41Bha-
16:43Bha-
16:45Bha-
16:46Bha-
16:47Bha-
16:48The time has come to send you off to meet your father and your sons
17:18Ashwatama is no more! Ashwatama has been killed!
17:48Do you really think I would believe this lie of yours, Beam?
17:57Get up, Beam! I cannot face Drone on my own!
18:13And I alone am enough!
18:16Your plan proved unsuccessful, Madhav.
18:20Patience, Dharmaraj. The plan is still in motion.
18:23Then please complete it quickly because Drisht, Dhyumna and Bhim don't have much time left.
18:27I should complete it. The plan has to be completed only by you, Brother Yudhishthir.
18:32Me? What do I have to do?
18:34Ashwatthama has been killed. The Acharya will believe it only if you say it.
18:39But that is not the truth. The one that is dead is not Dhronachare's son, but an animal, an elephant.
18:43But his name is Ashwatthama, killed by Bhim himself.
18:47Do not weigh righteousness only on the scales of truth and lies, Brother Yudhishthir.
18:51Measure it against the touchstone of the future. Do not consider only your personal values, my king.
18:57Think about the welfare of your people too. Because in fact, that is your prime duty as a king.
19:03I can only show you the path. Choosing to walk on that path is your decision.
19:08And you have to make that decision right now. Because the future of Bharat is in your hands.
19:13A single statement from you, will determine the future of the world today.
19:24Acharya!
19:30Ashwatthama has been killed, Acharya!
19:34Ashwatthama is no more!
19:38But not the man, the elephant!
19:50How does it feel to get the news of your son's death, Acharya Dhron?
19:56If Yudhishthir has said it, then it must be true. Because he never lies.
20:02My son is no more. My faith does not allow me to carry on after this.
20:15When an elephant dies, its family wails in mourning. But they never forget its killer.
20:22They do not forget, until they have had their revenge.
20:26The earth at Kurukshetra did not stain red with Dhron's blood. It turned black. Because the truth had fallen under the sword with his death.
20:35The truth, for the sake of which the Kurukshetra had died today. Because in order to win, a truthful man had surrendered to a half-truth.
20:48This was the moment that turned the abandonment of truth into a necessity for every war to come.
21:01But this was just the eve of the darkness to follow. The most savage and terrifying chapter of the Kurukshetra war was about to begin.
21:19We must appoint our new commander before the next sunrise.
21:29One is Karan, the other is Ashwatthama. The sacred fire has chosen the next commander for us. See the sun's likeness within the flames.
21:37Shoot your arrow. Go on and take Karan's life.
21:40But he's clearly unarmed. Keshav, how can I just...
21:43Abhimanyu was also unarmed. This is the only justice for the unrighteous.
21:47The Kauravs and the Pandavs both have my blood coursing through their veins. Calm your mind like water.
21:59You remember my tea vows, don't you, Duryodhan?
22:04There is one quality for which you will always have my respect. Your courage, your strength, and your reputation as a truly remarkable warrior.
22:13And for this, you do not deserve thorns, but 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.
22:34Wait, sons.
22:35What is wrong, mother?
22:37I hope you can forgive me. A crime I committed and concealed from all of you.
22:48I took the side of the Pandavs not for history, but to create a future.
22:52You are concerned about the future, Keshav?
22:56Yeah, I will make sure that you're free from this concern of yours forever.
23:00I put a curse upon you.
23:02This is not the end, but the beginning of the end.
23:08The bloodline of the Pandavs has come to an end!
23:17The bloodline of the Pandavs has come to an end!
23:18The bloodline of the Pandavs has come to an end!
23:20The bloodline of the Pandavs has come to an end!
23:22The bloodline of the Pandavs has come to an end!
23:24The bloodline of the Pandavs has come to an end!
23:26The bloodline of the Pandavs has come to an end!
23:28The bloodline of the Pandavs has come to an end!
23:30The bloodline of the Pandavs has come to an end!
