00:05Om Suryaya Namah
00:07Om Suryaya Namah
00:16Forgive me, King Avang.
00:18I came here to gaze at the sacred fire.
00:20Actually, I thought I was alone.
00:23Then I should be the one apologizing.
00:26For disturbing your solitude.
00:27Um, but to pray this late at night?
00:30And that too to the sun god?
00:33For you, it is the last hour of the night.
00:35And for me, it is the break of dawn.
00:37My relation with the sun god is quite similar to yours with King Dhritarashtra.
00:42You give him all the news about the war.
00:45And I share the ups and downs of my fate with the sun god.
00:48Yes, but the sun has not even risen yet.
00:52When does the sun ever set Sanjay for it to rise?
00:55It shines constantly.
00:56Only the direction of its compassion changes.
00:59And it has finally rested upon you, King Avang.
01:02Congratulations 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.
01:19Now go and get some rest.
01:20If anything important happens, I will inform you myself.
01:28Good night, father.
01:41Please donate your armor and earrings to me, Kalm.
01:54I, Lord Indra, am pleased by your generosity.
01:58Here is my celestial weapon.
02:01Whoever you strike with this arrow, the death of that person is certain.
02:06God.
02:07Forget about Arjun!
02:08And stop, Katodgach!
02:09Use your economy arrow now!
02:11Brahma weapon?
02:12Knowledge 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.
02:22So what do you have left?
02:26When 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, Kalm.
02:42Isn't she the one?
02:44Who comes in your dreams every night and abandons you.
02:48Over and over again with the same cruelty.
03:20You are...
03:22I have come to ask something of you, King of Angkarn.
03:25You should not have come here in such times.
03:28The 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?
03:57I am Kunti.
04:00Your mother, Kalm.
04:05I know it sounds unbelievable, but it is the truth.
04:09It feels like a lifetime has passed.
04:13I was just entering my adolescence when...
04:17Please 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.
04:39Because pretending to be sweet will make him angrier.
04:41I will just stay silent. I will not say a word.
04:44Oh, no, no. Do 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,
04:53that she would be forgotten by her beloved.
04:56Why?
04:56She was lost in thought of her beloved
04:58and failed to say anything just like you.
05:01Sage Durvasa felt that Shakuntala had not given him due respect.
05:05I do not want to face Sage Durvasa.
05:07Take me back to my chambers.
05:09No, no. You 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.
05:32No, Kunti. You are of royal birth.
05:36Never mind me. Even if a god appears, you must not bow down.
05:40Hmm.
05:47Serving the revered Sage Durvasa was when my true education began.
05:52Behind the harsh demeanor lay a gentle and knowledgeable guru
05:55from whom I learned humility, discipline, sacred chance, philosophy.
06:01I learned everything.
06:04Serving him was like a blessing for me.
06:27The doors of this kingdom will always be open for you, Sage Durvasa.
06:31I do hope you are content with the respect and care my daughter showed you during...
06:35Silence. Now I will speak.
06:38Child, I am very pleased with your dedication and devotion.
06:43I grant you a boon.
06:45Whenever you recite the chants I have taught you, keeping any deity in mind,
06:49that deity will bless you with a capable son.
06:55Did I not say he would grant you a boon?
07:01Sage Durvasa may have blessed me and departed.
07:04But he left me with countless questions.
07:07What if I forget the incantation?
07:09What if I say it wrong?
07:21All 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.
07:30I am sorry.
07:50Princess Gunthi, Princess Gunthi, where are you princess?
08:01Princess, where are you?
08:11Princess, where are you?
08:35Princess Gunthi, where are you? Princess, where are you? Princess, where are you?
08:53Princess, where are you? Princess, where are you? Princess, did you look there? Princess, oh look there she is.
09:06Here you are, where were you lost all this while? Please do not play such pranks on us ever again.
09:12Come, let us return to your chambers.
09:14It is already very late. Come princess, let us go.
09:28So that means you did not take care of me for even a single day, yet you claim to be
09:33my mother?
09:34Go ahead and address me however you want, but please listen to what I have to say.
09:39Did you bother to listen to the cries of that little infant or to the harsh taunts about being an
09:44orphan that I had to endure while I was growing up?
09:47The world kept calling me Sudhputra, the son of a charioteer right in front of you. Yet you refused to
09:54hear it.
09:54I heard it my son. I heard everything. I heard your cries, your humiliation. I recognized you that very day
10:01when all the Kshatriya princes had gathered together to display their martial skills and you threw a challenge to Arjun.
10:08You recognized me that day? Yes, my son. Not me, but a mother's heart instantly recognized her son and shattered
10:18into a thousand pieces that day.
10:21Let's see which prince was the contestant.
10:26To the people gathered here from all over Hastadapur, members of royal families, kings, soldiers, ministers and courtiers, and our
10:36citizens.
10:36We welcome you to a very special exhibition of skill in warfare and divine weaponry where Kshatriya warriors from all
10:45over the kingdom will demonstrate their strength and prowess in combat.
10:49I now invite our first competitor. He is a warrior whose courage and heroism need no introduction.
10:57The sound of his bowstring is reverberating around the arena. The son of Pandu, Arjun. Who will step forward to
11:08challenge Prince Arjun in this contest?
11:11Arjun, Arjun, Arjun, Arjun!
11:14Who would have the courage to face Arjun in such a contest?
11:19Huh?
11:20Hmm, heh heh.
11:32Huh?
11:34How the fuck's going?
11:47Huh?
11:53Who is that? Who is it?
11:55What a spectacular entry!
12:11I am Kull.
12:13I 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.
12:28And 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.
12:39First, 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?
12:48Oh, I say something.
12:52Huh? How strange. He doesn't even know his parents' names.
12:55Unbelievable. Why is he not saying anything?
12:59Ha ha ha ha.
13:00If he does not even know the name of his own father, how are we supposed to let him take
13:05part in a royal contest like this one?
13:13When I saw your armor and earrings, I knew immediately that you were my son, Karan.
13:19What? You knew it was me and yet you did nothing? You stayed silent? Huh?
13:24Before the entire kingdom? Do you not understand what the consequences would have been for Hastanapur and the future of
13:31the Kuru dynasty?
13:31What about my future? Oh, forgive me. I completely forgot. You had drowned my future in the river as soon
13:39as I was born. And that is why neither is Hastanapur safe today nor is the Kuru dynasty.
13:44It is because of me that we are now forced to fight on opposite sides. I know that, Karan. And
13:51that 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? The
13:59whole 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
14:09a charitier's son?
14:11Duryodhan was the only one who ignored the jibes and embraced a charitier'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.
14:21Adhirat, I am Karan, son of Adhirat. The same Adhirat who steers your chariots and tends to your horses.
14:28I am Karan, the son of Adhirat, the charitier and his wife Radha. I stayed silent because I knew that
14:35your empty rules would never let me compete in this meaningless contest where Arjun has already been assumed the winner.
14:42Arjun, if your courage is then place this charitier's son!
14:47Force defeat me! Only then can you claim the title of greatest Arjun!
14:53Stop! I, Crown Prince Duryodhan of Hastinapur, command all of you to end this injustice this very moment.
15:01They have no right to humiliate you in this manner. The two of us have trained for years under the
15:06same teacher.
15:07Ever since we were disciples, I've been hearing stories about your courage and heroism.
15:12You are more than a charitier's son, Karan. You deserve to be known as a great warrior.
15:18I reject the rules that measure your worth by lineage. And, 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.
15:36I humbly accept your command and your generosity, Prince Duryodhan.
15:40Until this day, I did not have any friends, any honor, or status, nor any purpose.
15:46But now, I have it all. From today, my life is yours, my prince.
15:57That day, I found my son, but I also knew that I had lost him to the core of clan
16:02forever.
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, Karan. And so our enemy.
16:19Duryodhan may have taken me in for his own selfish reasons, but you cast me aside for your selfish reasons.
16:24Huh. So answer me, who is most selfish of the two in your eyes?
16:28Never mind my selfishness. Think of what is good for all, Karan.
16:33Look, this forest, this river, this land, these waterfalls, the sound of birds calling.
16:40How beautiful all of it is. But if there is a war, none of this will remain. Do you really
16:46want that to happen?
16:47What I want has never mattered to anyone. All I ever wanted was respect, which I finally received from Duryodhan.
16:55Duryodhan showed me respect out of vested interest, and it is your vested interest too that has brought you here
16:59to me.
17:01You are not here for peace. You are here only to beg me to spare the lives of your five
17:06beloved sons.
17:07Believe what you want, Karan, but I have come here today only to plead with you as a mother.
17:12Hmm. All your life you chose to ignore the pain I was feeling. And now you expect me to pity
17:17you for the anguish you are feeling. Hmm?
17:19Because whatever I may be like, you are the same Karan, the strong and resolute, large hearted, Danveer Karan, who
17:28never lets anyone go empty handed.
17:30This is not my mother, but a queen driven by politics was talking to me. Even so, I will listen
17:36to you. And I give you my word, even you will not leave empty handed from here. So ask me,
17:41what do you want?
17:43My six sons. I do not want to lose even one of them in this war. Yudeshtar, Bhim, Arjun, Nakul,
17:52Sahadev, and you, Karan. Could you please forgive me?
17:56I beg of you, my son. You alone have the solution to this crisis. If you choose to, you could
18:03restore peace. You can save everyone from this terrible destruction. If not me, then at least think about this kingdom.
18:11The fact is that you never had six sons. You only ever had five sons by your own claim. And
18:17I give you my word, that five of your sons will still be alive when this war is over. I
18:22will not take any of the Pandavas' lives except for Arjun's. Because either Arjun will die, or I will before
18:29this war ends. No matter what happens, five of your sons will still be alive.
18:43I will not take any of you, Karan.
18:53Aunt Kunti, why do you look so troubled? Your eldest son became commander of the army today. Are you not
18:59feeling happy for him?
19:02I followed your advice and went to meet Karan, on the banks of the Jahanavi River. But he rejected my
19:08request.
19:08Hmm. He had a right to do that, Aunt. What has he ever received in life except rejection? Even from
19:15you, all he got was disappointment. So if he refused to listen to any of your pleas, then that should
19:20not surprise you.
19:22You are not surprised by his answer, Krishna? Then why did you send me to meet him at all?
19:26We are just fulfilling our duty. And so is he.
19:30I don't understand any of this, Madhav. 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, Madhav.
19:42I am doing everything I can, Aunt. But ultimately, what must happen will happen. Time cannot ever change its course.
19:50And a river cannot ever change its flow. A seed carried away by the river's current is gone. And it
19:56will flourish and bloom on whichever shore it finally rests on.
20:01What is in motion cannot ever change its course.
20:03What is in motion cannot be stopped now.
20:05Hm.
20:07Hm.
20:12Hm.
20:15Hm.
20:16Hm.
20:17Hm.
20:18Hm.
20:20Hm.
20:21Hm.
20:21Hm.
20:22Hm.
20:23Hm.
20:23Hm.
20:23Hm.
20:26Hm.
20:30My respect, Spithama.
20:33Why have you come here now, Karna?
20:35You ask for your blessings.
20:37Why on earth would you need my blessings, Karna?
20:41Even if I do not need them, the commander of the Corps of Army does.
20:45Congratulations, Karna.
20:47You finally got what you always longed for.
20:51An opportunity to show your valor and a battlefield to conquer.
20:55All of Gurukshetra is now yours.
20:59How strange this is, Spithama.
21:01You are Bhishma, son of Ganga.
21:03And I am Karna, son of a charioteer.
21:05Yet it was the currents of the Ganga river that carried me to shore.
21:08It was the same guru who taught us, Parshuram.
21:11And yet our lives were so different.
21:13You went from being Devavrat to Pitama, Bhishma.
21:16And I, I remain the son of a charioteer.
21:19I never called you the son of a charioteer.
21:22But not calling me that does not change the truth, Spithama.
21:26The truth?
21:27The truth is that I have always known the secret about your birth.
21:33What?
21:34You knew?
21:36Hmm.
21:37Naradan Maharshi Ghas had told me long ago.
21:40I never saw you as a charioteer, son.
21:43I was angry with you because of your improper behavior towards the Pandalves.
21:49But there was never any lack of affection for you, Karna.
21:55Words of affection have no effect on me anymore.
21:58And in any case, it is too late for this conversation, Pitama.
22:02Because I have reached a point where I have earned through my own strength what should have been mine all
22:07along.
22:07There is no longer any difference between you and me.
22:11We are both commanders now.
22:13But history will remember us very differently.
22:16You, who despite all your powers, could not win this war for the Kauravs.
22:21And I, who despite all my limitations, will finally defeat the Pandavas at Kurukshetra.
22:27Kurukshetra!
22:29Kurukshetra!
22:30Kurukshetra!
22:30Kurukshetra!
