Look, Dad!

Come. Give it to me.

- Come on. Give it to me! - Hey!

Dad!

Dad!

- Son! - Dad!

Son!

Dad!

Son!

- Son! - Hey! All of you move aside!

What happened?

What's the commotion about?

You come with me.

Son!

Wake up, son!

Wake up--

Help!

Someone, please help us!

My lord.

Maasha'Allah!

This large diamond will weigh more than twelve raatis.

All you diggers! Queue up for the porridge.

Those who found diamonds, get in the queue for the meal.

Have this, son.

Let me have a look.

It'll heal.

I toiled to find that diamond.

Why did someone else get my share of the food, Dad?

The thing is…

Everyone is exploited by those above them.

The Dora loots us.

Then the Nawab of Golconda loots him.

And finally, the Mughal Emperor in Delhi loots the Nawab.

- Is the Emperor the biggest thief, then? - Yes!

Doesn’t he ever get looted?

To loot all these looters,

God, who is above us all,

will certainly send someone.

He will come and teach them a lesson.

Please, someone save my child!

My child!

Oh no! A small child got swept away in the current!

No one knows whose child he is…

but somehow, he’s ended up at our temple.

It's a miracle!

An eagle spread its wings to shelter him.

[Mahamrityunjay sholk plays]

Guruji, should we give him a horizontal mark since we found him,

or a vertical one because Lord Garuda brought him here?

Neither!

He's a divine manifestation of the Mother Goddess herself.

In time, he will devote his life to the people.

Establishing justice will be his life’s mission.

Are you saying he’s destined to be a king?

He will be a soldier greater than a king!

He will become a servant of the people, praised by the masses.

If this child is destined to be a great hero,

please grant him a name worthy of his future.

He's a breaveheart, just like you said.

He has the blessings of Lords Hari and Hara.

He's Hari Hara Veeramallu!

Long live Alamgir!

Either the throne…

or the grave.

God gives two choices to the royal family members.

The one who worships devoutly becomes king.

The rest go to the burial ground.

Aurangzeb…

Fear the fury of hell.

The fury of hell torments those who

disrespect Khuda by honoringkafirs, who are not of our religion?

Have you already decided Islam means nothing to you?

Khuda’s blessings are not bound by fear.

One reaches God only through love.

Go then, Padshahzada-i-Buzurg Martaba!

Dara Sikoh.

This Aurangzeb is releasing

your Sufi soul from your body.

It is His Royal Decree that, on this occasion,

the gift must be placed on His Majesty's tablecloth.

Jahanara, my son Aurangzeb has immense love for his father--

Oh God!

I will place this peacock throne in the red fort of Shahjahanabad.

I will prove myself worthy of the name Aurangzeb.

From this day forward, Aurangzeb shall shine

as the crown jewel of the Timurid dynasty.

Such is the decree of nature.

Either the throne…

Or the grave!

- Aurangzeb, Allah's messenger-- - Silence, Father!

Am I coveting this country…

for my personal benefit?

What are you doing with his legacy? It's disgraceful!

Insha’Allah!

Our sacred Islamic flag must fly proudly over this Hindu nation.

Nature has another decree.

Those blinded by power can't see it.

God sends his messenger to dethrone those

who hide their hunger for power under the cloak of faith.

He might not even wear a crown. He could be a commoner.

But, he'll be the harbinger of your downfall.

Let me see…

Which kafir is the chosen one!

Gora Sahib…

[in French] Welcome, Señor Tavernier!

Machilipatnam Bandar, the commercial capital of South India, welcomes you.

How are you doing, Kasi Lingam?

Gora Sahib… You're speaking Hindavi?

How are the kids?

How's your lesser half doing?

"Lesser half"?

Gora Sahib… My better half has now become

the greater half!

This time, two ships’ worth of stock is ready for you.

This is a cascade of jewels. It'll yield as much as you can haul.

Look at how they’re looting our nation’s wealth and taking it to foreign lands!

It's not that easy.

Forget jewels and gems,

they won’t be able to take even a handful of dirt!

Do you think he will come?

He will definitely come!

[in French] Diamond!

[speaking Persian]

Sarkar…

You have arrived with your forces. Is it for him?

I won't let him get his hands on these precious diamonds.

Please come.

All yours.

A ruby is fifty-three paisa.

There are a thousand rubies.

You won't find a better price anywhere in the world.

Look at the quality! A rupee's worth for a paisa!

Sarkar…

That's the same whistle!

- He's here. Get him! - Let's go!

Hey, hey, hey!

Shoot your arrows! Shoot them now.

That's a Rajput sword, Kashilingam.

Lift it like a man!

Should I call you a thief for stealing it?

Or a lawkeeper for returning it?

- Seems pretty light. - Huh?

Did you earn this through hard work? Or did you buy it?

You just stole it. That’s more than you deserve.

- These will suffice for that coal. - Coal?

When did you switch this?

I knew you'd go back on your word. That’s why I swapped the bag.

My man…

I was joking!

Here are the diamonds I promised you. Take them.

Just give me my stuff, and I'll--

Thank you!

You look like a blanket draped over a buffalo!

What's your name?

My name is Muni Manikyam. I am a diamond expert.

Seeing your daring feat at Bandar,

our young Sarkar asked me to bring you along.

- Does Young Sarkar mean a kid? - Huh? He's an adult!

- An adult? Then ask him to come. - Yeah. Huh? Here, listen!

Veera, Veera, Veera! Wait up, man. Hear me out!

Veera, they'll give me rewards if you come with me.

Dear Sadhus. One moment, please.

He will give you a bag of coins for this monastery.

What do I even have?

Nothing but the turban on my head and sandals on my feet.

What will you do with such a big bundle wrapped around your waist?

Please have them.

May you have a good life.

Pranaam.

How did this come about?

So, you stole it there to donate it here, is that it?

- You're a great man! - Hey!

You can also become great if you give me what's around your neck.

I beg from beggars. Leave me alone!

Alright. Tell me what the matter is.

The young Sarkar is calling you. Will you come?

- When? - On Sankranti day.

On Sankranti?

Alright.

Aurangzeb invited us here for a truce. Why isn't he here yet?

Instead of His Majesty Aurangzeb,

his envoy, Abu Suleman will attend the discussions.

Looks like Aurangzeb got cold feet

at the mere thought of facing three kings together.

Alamgir's greetings to the Maratha, Jat, and Rajput Kings.

Don't you know that kings discuss only with kings

and not with envoys like you?

Is your Aurangzeb afraid to face three kings at once?

Let him stay happily in the Red Fort.

So, what is the reason for this gathering?

The orders being issued by His Majesty Aurangzeb…

We are extending an invitation to the kingdoms

under Mughal rule to embrace our royal religion.

Any kingdom that chooses not to convert shall be required to pay the Jizya tax.

This is a tax that non-Muslim kings and their people must pay

in order to practice their own religion.

Agree to the terms and place your royal seal on these.

Silence!

Must we pay a tax to follow our own religion, in our own land?

Tell your Aurangzeb.

He and his forefathers should be paying us

for coming from elsewhere, living on our land and breathing our air.

Alamgir doesn’t accept “no,” “it’s not possible,” or “it cannot be” as answers.

It’s his custom to kill anyone

who gives such an answer and send them straight to paradise.

How dare you threaten us?

People tell many tales about the valor

of Rajputs, Jats, and Marathas, from China to Parswan, Yavana.

If he truly carries Mughal valor in his veins,

then let him face us, sword in hand.

If he does,

I will behead him with his own sword and place it in his hand!

I'll place it in his hand…

Who are you?

The name is Aurangzeb.

Servant of God.

Emperor of this universe.

An army without its king is like a serpent without a head.

Without fangs or venom.

Accept servitude to the Mughal throne.

At least your lives will be spared.

Wazir, ready the troops.

We are marching to Deccan now.

The message is loud and clear.

Freedom of religion is no longer free!

Blessed be the conqueror!

Blessed be the conqueror!

Blessed be the conqueror!

- Sir! Greetings! - How many families are there, man?

Two families with five members each.

Surajmani mine.

Each house gets two bags of paddy, and two bags of husk.

You may collect them.

How will this last until next year, sir?

There's not enough grain.

We can’t offer even a mouthful to the dead for their final rites.

Please give us an extra bag.

Hey! You're making undue demands instead of taking your ration of grains.

Have you forgotten the drought when you survived on mud and muck?

The family has grown, sir… This is all we have to feed them all.

Is that so?

Why did the family grow?

Should I feed you just because you slept with your wife?

Sir?

Rest your mouths and your wive's wombs for sometime.

Please don't say that, Sarkar?

The kids are starving, Sarkar.

This isn’t sufficient for all of us for a year.

Okay, let’s do one thing.

Let’s have a combat for grains.

Three fighters will enter the battlefield on our behalf.

If fifteen of you can bring them down,

I’ll give five extra bags to every household.

What? Isn't that enough?

I’ll add fifteen more!

Fifteen bags! Come on, let’s play.

- How can we play? - Fifteen bags!

Sarkar, we don’t need any extra bags. Just give us our bags, that's enough.

You’re the ones who decide everything now? Go and play!

Is one missing from the count?

- Hey! Will you play? - He’s just a kid.

You stay quiet. You tell me. Will you play?

- Yes, I will. - You're just a kid!

- We’ll play, Sarkar. - Go on.

Panchami!

Panchami! Panchami!

Master is holding a combat

between the farmers and the wrestling champions.

Her grace is calling you.

Their poverty is these people’s entertainment.

Their hunger has become a spectacle.

- Tell her, I won’t come. - I won't come, I won't come.

I won't come, I won't come.

Cover that side!

Be careful, Dad!

- Hey! - Finish him off.

Bravo!

They’re the ones who work the mines.

Our master feeds everyone here. Our mighty Master!

Dad, the grains are spilling!

- Wait a minute, dear. - Dad!

Oh no! What's this?

It's my beloved chandramuthy.

Big deal!

Why don't you use yours to tie?

- Isn't this your estate? - Oh!

- What logic is this?! - Go on.

- What’s your name? - Shri Mahalakshmi.

Lakshmi. Assume you made an offering to Mahalakshmi.

Let's go!

Son!

What a move!

Wrestling! Our master's fun time.

Oh no!

- Well done! - Oh god!

This doesn’t feel like a game.

Everything is just a game for our master.

- You, come here. - Mr. Muni Manikyam?

Fine, keep watching. I’ll go inform Kotappa Master.

Game over!

You guys join the game.

We can’t play, master.

- Please give us our bags. - Hey!

Stop the supplies.

Hey! Stop. Put the bags down.

Everyone, listen carefully!

Only the winner gets the grain.

Not just one or two bags.

Whoever defeats my warriors…

Gets all the bags here!

- [together] We can’t play, master! - Go on, play!

Can I play?

- Who are you, man? - It's me!

- Are you a laborer? - Yes, I am!

Yes, I’m one of them.

You said you’d give all the bags to the winner, right?

I’m on the people’s side. I’ll play.

How dare you look our master in the eye? Lower your eyes!

- Master, I brought Veeramallu-- - Is that him?

He says he’ll play.

- Go challenge them! - Master!

- Sir, please, just let us go. - That won’t work.

You must play with him.

[in unison] We can't fight, master!

Why are you backing off when I'm with you? Come on!

Let’s fight like tigers!

They won’t come.

Looks like these goats are scared.

Scared of the tiger.

It’s okay. I’ll play alone.

I’ll play alone.

Will you face three fighters alone?

Three fighters mean nothing to me.

Three, fifteen, send all your men.

I’ll take them all down at once!

All fighters at once?

They’ll finish you off.

Until now, you’ve seen tigers devouring goats.

Now you’ll see a savage tiger hunt other tigers!

Panchami! The warrior is here!

Come fast!

The warrior is here! The warrior is here!

The warrior is here!

Me?

Tell me, what do you want?

I want to look Sarkar in the eye.

- You may look. - Not just me.

Then?

I want all my people to look.

They must learn that the ruler has a head, not just feet to bow over.

I haven’t touched you because I want to marry you.

No matter where I am, you must stay beside me.

I’ll explain it to her. You go.

- Explain! - I will!

Panchami…

Never imagined this.

You can't admit that you like me.

Why are you staying in a place you dislike?

I'm an orphan!

I was raised by concubines.

When he saw me dance in the temple,

he paid those who raised me and bought me.

I can't take this anymore.

Can you help me?

Will you help me escape?

Will you take me away from here?

I’ll take you away.

Son, in the mines on the banks of Krishna…

the hard work is ours.

The control is ours.

Yet Qutub Shah reaps the fruit.

Only the small diamonds belong to Sarkar.

If it weighs more than ten raatis,

Sarkar has to personally take it and hand it over at Golconda.

It's like a postman's job. Isn't it unfair?

A procession’s marching to Golconda to hand over the diamonds to the Sultan.

You must steal them on the way

and hand it to our man at Surat Bazar.

I must grab it before you can hand it over,

and no one should know you're involved.

Exactly! You've grasped it!

Twelve diamonds in total!

Twelve diamonds? How did you find out?

Sir, I didn’t tell him.

Does someone have to tell Veeramallu about the diamonds?

Your payment for robbing is…

One diamond!

What’s so funny?

I might be taking the diamonds from you…

but I'll be stealing the Sultan’s treasure!

I thought you were fearless?

But not brainless!

Two? Do you know the value of those diamonds?

I’m asking because I know their worth.

Just one diamond could sustain the region for five years.

No one would go hungry. Tell me if you agree with my terms.

What I heard is true, then.

You don't steal for yourself.

But to give to others.

- Fine! Take two… - Two diamonds?

Do you know what else they call monsters in human form?

Qutub Shah's army!

It’s not…

as simple as you think.

Would I accept if it were so simple?

It’s dangerous!

The thrill of danger is what I live for.

Come one, come all!

Play the game and win double the money.

Come one, come all!

Don’t miss out on your chance!

Two becomes four.

Four becomes eight.

Eight becomes sixteen.

- Mine is on the moon. - Lord!

You are the only hope for them all, Lord. Hari Om Hara!

Hey! I won! I won!

- He is the lucky one. - Give it to me! It's mine!

Hey! He looks like a porter inside the fort.

- How can he be my man? - Hey! You filthy-faced wretch.

- How dare you call me that? - Hey! You dent-faced fool.

- I'll kill you if you say another word! - How dare you grab my shirt?

You unnecessarily started a fight between these two.

It looks like they'll fight to the death.

Hey, go your own separate ways!

Did you think I'd keep playing with him?

Go! Go away!

Why are you looking at my face? Go. You have lost your coins. Right?

Come back here tomorrow to try your luck.

How did this get here?

- Abbanna… - Yes?

I found a talisman. It's our lucky day.

This doesn't look like a talisman.

Life isn’t a game of deceit and flight. I’ll teach you how to truly move forward.

Who is this towering date palm?

Veeramallu must have invited him just like he called us.

Where is Veeramallu?

There he is!

All this is for you.

Have a seat.

Vissanna, your taste buds must be dead after eating bland prison food, right?

That's why I have some fish curry for you.

I'll have some of that.

Look here, there's tasty prawn fry.

Eat.

That's why I brought you some country chicken.

Have some.

Tell us, brother. Why have you called us?

It's very dangerous!

Got it!

Like Lord Rama had a monkey army, you need us.

- Isn't it? - Exactly.

It's a two-night journey.

The battalion will reach Saroornagar.

That's the right time.

Along with the diamonds, we must take that girl too.

What's the girl's name?

Panchami.

So, Panchami must be freed on Dashami day.

But, will Sarkar stay quiet if we take the girl after giving him the diamonds?

Who said we'll return the diamonds?

Our deal was only to steal.

Go with them.

Attention!

What happened?

- The diamonds are in danger. - Danger?

You know about the theft at the Machilipatnam port, right?

That jewel thief is roaming around.

That's why, additional forces have been deployed.

Who is that foreigner?

He is Benjamin Morris, the Sultan's Dutch warrior.

He sent a message with his commander.

Morris is waiting near Charminar with his army.

Everyone, prepare for the journey!

Sarkar…

The guards doubled again!

Will he be able to pull it off?

Get in!

- Uncle, look. - We stole them.

Bravo! Only these are left!

A battalion stationed at Bhagyanagara,

will squash us like flies.

- We cannot endure it! - That's what you think.

No matter how big the army is, we've to pull this off!

[both] Uncle!

Attack!

♪ Mallu! ♪

♪ Veera Mallu! ♪

♪ Hari! Hari! Hari! Hara! Hara! Hara! Hari Hara! ♪

♪ Veera! Mallu! ♪

♪ Veera! Mallu! ♪

Where did he vanish?

Has he fled?

Sarkar, I am here.

Here are the diamonds.

Diamonds!

Why are you here?

I'm tired!

Hey! We shouldn’t be seen together.

- We shouldn't? - Yes, we shouldn't! Now leave!

- Leave? - Yes, leave!

Sarkar!

Sarkar! Along with the diamonds, he took our girl too!

We're doomed.

He stole the Sultan’s diamonds. Kill him!

Veera!

Veera!

You’re the first to lay hands on the Qutub Shah treasure…

and live to tell the tale!

Veeramallu,

how much treasure have you looted from Golconda?

I haven’t kept count.

I hear you steal our treasure…

and give it to the poor?

It actually belongs to the poor, doesn't it?

You should be hanged for what you did.

But do you know why you are still alive?

Look at this.

This is the rare diamond that saved your life.

It's like the legendary Shamanthakamani,

as light as bright as a mountain, weighing at 180 rattis…

the Koh-i-Noor!

Isn’t it a glass stone, Sultan?

It’s clear that it’s a duplicate.

Where is the real diamond?

Back in Prataparudra’s time,

when Golconda was "Golla Konda,"

this Kolluru diamond ended up in Alauddin Khilji's hands.

From there, it passed to Ibrahim Lodi,

and from there to the Mughal Sultan, Zahir ud-Din Muhammad Babur.

After that, there was no trace of it for decades.

And now, it’s surfaced in Shahjahanabad, Delhi.

If you fulfill Tanashah's desire, you'll never have to rob again!

He’ll gift you a diamond mine,

and you will rule that territory.

Whatever treasure you find in that mine will be yours.

Whether you distribute it or keep it… is up to you.

So, you want this diamond returned to Golconda.

Right?

Where is this diamond now?

At Qila-e-Mubarak,

Lal Qila.

Here…

at the Mughal Darbar…

in the middle of Diwan-i-Khas!

While building the Taj Mahal for Mumtaz Begum, the Emperor Shah Jahan

spent four times that amount to craft a Peacock Throne for himself.

Crowned upon the head of the king of kings,

glowing like sunlight born of earth’s deepest core,

held close by the legendary Timur Ruby, is the Koh-i-Noor.

It’s our Kolluru diamond, right? We’ll bring it back.

It's not so simple!

Do you know who is sitting on that throne right now?

It's Badshah-e-Ghazi! Shahenshah-e-Sultanat!

Muzaffar Muhi-ud-Din Muhammad Aurangzeb Alamgir!

You must retrieve that diamond…

from Alamgir’s throne.

You’re offering me a diamond mine for just one diamond…

I understand its value.

This isn’t about the value, it’s about our self-respect.

Trying to restore Golconda’s honor and reclaim the Koh-i-Noor,

seven trained warriors have laid down their lives.

If so many brave warriors have already died,

then why send me all the way to the Red Fort?

Just hang me here in Golconda.

I’ll die in the place I was born.

There’s only one Koh-i-Noor on this earth.

To bring it home, we need a weapon of destiny, like Lord Rama’s arrow.

We believe that it's you.

You’re the one who mastered many skills.

Yet, you walked away from Charminar only because it wouldn't fit in your sack.

Or else you’d have…

Gulfam Khan! My spy!

He has been monitoring Shahjahanabad closely for the past three years.

He knows every inch of the Red Fort.

Veera!

Alamgir will kill you if you’re caught stealing the Koh-i-Noor.

We’ll kill you if you come back without the Koh-i-Noor.

If you try to run away with the Koh-i-Noor…

Portuguese war hero, our Alphonsa--

He can’t even touch the hem of my garment!

Pardon me, Tanashah!

Every year, you send turmeric-soaked rice

to our Lord Bhadrachalam Sita Rama.

That’s why I respect you.

You said it’s Golconda’s pride, right?

I will bring it back to restore it.

The Kolluru diamond found in the Krishna River basin,

will surely return…

to it's mother's abode.

- Peace be upon you! - And peace be upon you, too.

Who are all these people?

He's Abdullah! The Nawab’s most trusted man.

He’s coming with us.

I don’t need muscle, I need wisdom.

- What do you mean? - I want my team!

This one's for you, Abbanna.

We grew so close to Veera in just a few days.

I never thought he’d leave just as quickly.

I pray to God that at least in the next life,

we get to share a drink.

May this bring peace to his soul.

[chanting the Hanuman Chalisa]

I'm alive.

Veera? Veera!

- You’re not hurt, are you? - No.

Veera, who are they?

Those idiots work for Abdul Qutub Shah.

Qutub Shah’s men?

So, you sacrificed us for your own survival?

Look, see how he's staring! He will kill me with numerous stabs.

- We will not let you sacrifice us? - Hear me out.

- We will never allow-- - Listen, you fool!

Go and be quiet for a while.

We must go to Delhi.

- I’ll explain later. - I will not come!

Leave me. Hey, Veera!

I ended up in jail because of you.

Going to Delhi with you would mean I’ll lose my head for sure!

Hey, stop it!

Veera, we're alive,

and our families are safe, all because of you.

Now, whatever you'll say, we will do. Hey!

You said you wanted wisdom…

they seem like they lack wisdom.

Oh, I didn’t know wisdom required being tall and built!

This is how wise people are, unseen.

We'll handle the task you’ve given me.

If not, tell Qutub Shah to handle it himself.

These are the approval papers we need to stay in Delhi.

What's this? It's written in Arabic, I can't understand it.

Very well! Where do we begin?

Through Burhanpur, Bundelkhand, Gwalior, and Delhi.

Your Honor!

The eighth man has started from Golconda.

He must not reach Delhi alive.

They’re just a little way ahead of us.

We have to catch up to them.

Let's go!

Hey, Gulfam!

It’s not safe to go any further.

We should take the mountain path.

Why?

The birds are flying away from the mountain.

The lake is still and calm.

I think there's danger ahead.

We should take a different path.

Taking the path you're suggesting will add an extra 20 miles to our journey.

We won't reach Delhi at the expected time.

We'll never reach Delhi if we continue on this road!

We shall see!

Today's your test as well. Go!

Damn those diamonds of yours!

Oh no!

If we fall now, there’ll be nothing left to find.

Am I right?

Where did they go?

Hey guys! Why did you stop there?

You rushed in like a young man.

Learn from my Uncle.

How to keep your mouth shut when you're old.

Gulfam, are you alright?

Gulfam!

History remembers more who perished

by ignoring the caution than those who heeded it.

We must listen.

We must listen to Veeramallu.

Hey!

Stop that noise.

Enough of your performance. Eat this.

Roast it properly.

It's undercooked.

Why are you staring, Gulfam?

Do you mean to threaten me?

Are you angry with me?

I have seen many like you.

Munimanikyam, please tell him

not to underestimate Veeramallu.

Abbanna, Subbanna.

- Wild animals roam here. - Is it?

- I shall keep watch until the first hour. - Oh?

Alphonsa will watch over the rest of the night.

So, they'll be standing guard.

We leave early in the morning. Everyone sleep now!

Hey! Why are you aiming the gun at me?

Maybe because I am ahead of you all in heroism and bravery.

Damn you all!

So, you were going to kill me in my sleep?

Munimanikyam isn't afraid of these weapons!

I’ll place my life on a platter and fling it!

Hey!

Oh god! Veera!

Veera, please save us! Oh god!

You're a brave warrior, aren't you? Go fight them.

Be quiet!

Have you looked at the size of those teeth? Oh god!

Be careful, Veera!

Thank god.

Why did you stop me from shooting? It was right in front of my gun!

It's not fair to invade its territory and take its life.

Got it?

Veera.

What magic did you do with your eyes? They just left.

I spoke to them.

- You spoke? What did you say? - Yes.

It asked me why I was in its territory.

I said that because you are much better than these animals.

Hearing this, he burst into laughter.

- He laughed? - Yes, he did.

Then he asked me who these dirty people are.

- You mean us? - Yes.

I said that they are my friends.

It came a little closer and said, "Look, Veera, you seem innocent."

"Be careful with these nasty people."

Hearing this, I laughed loudly.

So, you laughed too?

- You didn’t catch that? - I felt it clearly.

Then he asked me politely,

"These nasty and dirty people seem to be full of fat. May I eat them?"

Then I said, "You just called them nasty and dirty. They'll upset your stomach."

It said, "You're right, Veera." Then, we both laughed loudly.

Well said!

- You and the beast? - Yes. Why?

- Didn't it feel like it? - It definitely did.

I advised him to return home safely, as it was already quite late.

He gave kisses before leaving.

- Kisses? - Yes.

You spoke so much in so little time, huh?

- Why not? Isn’t it possible? - It is.

Come on, let's get ready for the journey.

Hey! Gulfam. Stay.

Except for humans, no other animals in nature seek violence by choice.

They only kill out of hunger or fear.

They won't kill needlessly like you or him.

Get lost.

I looked into his eyes and said, "We won't harm you."

He believed me and left.

Long ago, there was a man who could speak to animals with a look.

That was Prophet Suleman.

Saint Francis of Assisi once saved a village in Italy from a pack of wolves

simply by speaking to them through their eyes.

You're better now.

How does he know these tricks?

Where did he learn them?

Veera!

Please come. What do you want?

- Who does this belong to? - A girl was here two days ago.

She was very beautiful, just like the moon.

This might belong to her.

Where did she go?

I think she went towards Reva Bazaar.

- Reva Bazaar? - Yes.

People sell stolen goods there. It's a thieves' den!

- Everyone there is a thief. - Oh no, thieves?

Yes.

These poor people seem to be scared of thieves.

Give it.

That poor girl might get caught over there.

Why don't you help her?

We don't have to help her, we'll have to help her victims!

- Yes! - Come on!

- Diamond. - Where?

Over there.

That’s one rare diamond!

- What price should we quote for it? - Price?

We can even offer our lives.

For her diamond-like beauty, or her elegance?

Majestic!

Bravo!

What's all this drama, you sly devil?

Hey!

You…

handed me over to the Nawab,

and you’re out here dancing like it’s no big deal?

That's right, Veera.

- Ask her, Veera. - Hey, you shut it!

Hey, the least you can do now is tell me the truth.

- Visanna. - Veera.

- What is the punishment in this case? - We stitch their mouth.

We tie them up.

No! No! I will tell you the truth.

I needed money to save other courtesans like me.

I wanted to steal these diamonds,

to buy their freedom.

That's why I pretended to fall in love with you.

Oh my…

So, that’s the way it is.

Pretended to…

fall in love. Huh?

Pretended to fall in love.

Let's go.

Where?

Where to?

- Come. - Why are we taking this…

deceiver with us?

My love was true. Let's go!

Keep walking.

Hold on!

Hey!

Mom!

[in unison] It's water!

I'll give you, children. I will give you all.

No pushing, please. We may spill it.

Everyone will get water.

Have some patience. I'm giving you'll water.

Wait! Oh no!

Didn't I tell you? We'll spill the water?

I did tell you. Didn't I?

What are you doing?

It's alright. Come.

Don't cry.

Come, son.

I'm sorry.

Please forgive me.

- Have this. - Look.

- Don't cry, son. - Are you new to this area?

Northern India has never seen a famine like this in a century.

- Okay! - Got it!

- Everyone, open those bags. - Open. Open!

I'll take one.

- [in unison] May Allah bless you - Eat.

- Brother! - Yes?

Due to a lack of rains,

we had no harvest this year.

Nobody is bothered about us.

I don't know where you came from.

You gave us water.

You fed us and freed us from hunger.

I will pray to Lord Allah that…

you reap success in whatever you are seeking.

Your prayers will not go to waste.

Have faith.

- What's going on there? - A big ritual.

A ritual for the rain god.

[reciting a Sanskrit shloka]

Praying for this barren land, scorched by drought to be filled with greenery.

They’re performing a sacred ritual, to appease Lord Shiva,

who bears Goddess Ganga upon his head.

Your Honor! We couldn't find them.

No matter where they hide,

I won't spare them.

You kafirs!

This is the Mughal Empire! You can't have these rituals here.

Usman Khan!

If he’s come all the way from the Deccan, he must be here for us.

We shouldn't stay here for a minute longer. Come!

Be patient!

Abbanna.

♪ If there is pride, all is possible Death is a dark festival ♪

Come! Let's go!

You protected not only the sacred ritual…

but our faith in God.

This isn’t mere rain.

The deities of heaven have anointed you.

Whatever your mission is, may it succeed.

May you be victorious.

Wait, Veera!

Who are you?

- He is-- - Hey!

Why are you asking again? Don't you know?

He’s just a common thief.

Common thief?

How would a common thief know that it would rain?

Would a sage salute him?

Would he speak about such philosophical ideas?

You saved me on the mountain.

You saved those animals in the forest.

Tell me who are you?

Why did you take Veera to Sarkar?

Because he stole the diamonds from Tavernier in Machilipatnam.

You think you tricked Veera by pretending to love him, right?

Yes.

He came to Sarkar's notice when he stole the diamonds in Machilipatnam.

He struck a deal with Sarkar and deliberately surrendered to the Nawab.

All this time, we believed we were the ones taking you to Delhi.

But you are making us follow your lead.

Even though your words and actions are different,

we won't believe that you are a thief.

When I close my eyes…

I still see his radiant rage!

Even now,

my heart trembles in fear of what I saw.

A person like him can never…

- seen before. - Maulana saab!

is telling the truth, King.

The name of that revolutionary is, Veera!

Behind his courage…

lies an unknown strength.

Do you know who that strength is?

Geography, architecture, and sculpture,

archaeology, and astronomy sciences…

These disciplines stem from the wisdom of the Gurukul’s five sages.

We are trying to destroy their Vedas and Shastras.

But those five sages,

have absorbed them into every cell of their being.

Those five living and breathingVedas and Sastras experts,

have become a shield against our efforts

to wipe out their religion and way of life.

And the sword of that shield is…

Veera.

Veera will come to the defense of any temple we attack.

So, the Hindu society has finally awakened.

Veera is a dagger …

colliding with the Mughal Sultanate’s fortress.

But it won’t even leave a scratch on the walls.

But if we don't hack the hand that held the sword,

many other daggers, swords and shields will rise against us,

which is unacceptable.

[chanting in unison] The teacher of the entire world,

the doctor of all the diseases,

the storehouse of all knowledge, we salute you, Lord Dakshinamurthy.

Get up, get up. Come with me quietly.

Be quick. Come, get up.

Nandini, Nandini.

Get up! We need to leave immediately.

Open the underground chamber, quick.

Everyone go inside.

Fast!

Nandini, listen.

Take this.

- Now go. - No! No!

Please come.

Your Honor! There is no one here.

Find them, wherever they are.

Shatter this sculpture into pieces.

- You may break it now. - But we'll make them again.

What is--

I’ll drag you all from here and lay your lives at Alamgir’s feet.

[in unison] Death sentence! Death sentence!

Praise be to God!

Death draws near. You're bleeding out.

But not a drop of sweat on his face.

The faithful bow their heads, praying for deliverance.

We don't fear death.

Kill us!

As long as this faith endures,

the destiny of Hindustan's kingdom shall remain unaltered.

Today, that faith will end with you.

As long as Veera lives, our arts and sciences will live on.

THE CULTURE WE INHERITED MUST BE PASSED TO THE NEXT GENERATION.

Veera! So, he is the keeper of your faith.

Then, it is unfair to kill you.

Announce that the spiritual leaders are in our custody.

We shall see if Veera dares to come and save him.

Rivers flowing towards the ocean… that is nature’s way.

But when the ocean rises to meet a river…

That’s a sign of calamity.

Right before the Mahalaya new moon day,

such a calamity is rushing towards you.

Remember its name.

Veera!

God willing!

Aurangzeb will be waiting for it.

Once I crush him…

my sword will return to your throat.

I've promised everyone back home.

that I'll protect my teacher's life as my gurudakshina.

That’s the reason I’m going to Delhi.

I worked with Sarkar for the Nawab's benefit.

I stole in Machilipatnam to facilitate a meeting with him.

You want Koh-i-Noor… And I want my people.

Alamgir has Koh-i-Noor on his crown.

The sages are in captivity in the Red Fort dungeons.

Freeing both at the same time is impossible.

We’ll die if we try to get both.

Those sages they captured are no ordinary men.

They will pass their wisdom not just to this generation, but the next one as well.

Each one of them is a Koh-i-Noor in their own right.

I’ll gladly give my life to protect them.

But I refuse to gamble with your lives.

- I'll take a leave. - Veera!

Wait, Veera.

We accepted this task knowing it could cost us our lives.

Now after knowing the truth…

dying by your side is an honor!

Veera!

We are with you.

If you think we can contribute,

we’ll gladly walk beside you until your goal is fulfilled.

We'll reach the checkpost next.

You shall be allowed passage only after checking your permission documents.

Along with you,

take Abdullah,

and two of them.

Be careful of one thing…

Whatever may happen, don't let them know that you are Veera.

The rest of us will reach Delhi through Benaras.

Veera!

You're going away, and I'm scared that…

we may not meet again.

I want to seek forgiveness with folded hands for deceiving you.

Still, you wished to hold my hand and walk through life together.

I want to meet you again.

I want to journey with you till the end.

This is the Moghul checkpost.

Attention! Attention!

You are entering the kingdom of Alamgir, King Aurangzeb.

You have to pay the toll and jizya taxes on your entry.

Give the coins or go away.

- Greetings, sir. - Welcome.

You have to be careful here.

Maqbool…

is the checkpost's head.

He's Alamgir Aurangzeb's distant relative.

There are no limits to his cruelty and tyranny.

Here, only his orders prevail.

Before he sees us…

we must leave from here.

Why? What will he do?

He will hang us in the entrance.

- Do you want to get hung? - No need.

Why should we trouble him?

Come on. Let’s quietly get out of here.

[in Hindi] Hey, Kafir! Go from the other side!

Listen up, Kafirs. Do not enter from here. Take the other entrance.

All Kafirs enter from here and stand over there.

All this talk about Kafirs. But who are they, really?

Those who offer milk to snakes and worship stones.

- Do you mean us? - Yes, it’s you.

Alamgir has ordered that you must pay jizya tax for looking after you.

This path forbids Hindus from passing on horseback.

Pathan and I will use the Muslim doorway.

Enter without arousing any suspicion.

Move on!

Move fast!

Idols beyond this point are not allowed. You'll be punished if caught in the act.

Hey!

Hey!

What's in this sack?

Show me!

You…

Kafir!

Hey, move it.

Keep moving.

Move!

Move!

Take it, please. Our hard work.

Stand upright!

Get going.

Are you trying to dupe us?

You can't take this inside.

[in unison] All hail the Bholenath! All hail the Bholenath!

Be quiet!

Stop the ruckus right now.

There’s no escaping punishment today.

How dare you walk in here singing praises?

Don’t you know music is forbidden in Alamgir’s kingdom?

Damn them! They are taking a lot of money.

What's the use of cursing them?

If a donkey is seated on the throne,

we must remit or pay whatever it demands!

Alright. Move on.

Get going.

Three members.

Give it to me.

There’s nothing inside--

- Father! - Dear!

Alright. So, this is nothing?

♪ Om Namah Shivay ♪

So this is what you've been hiding?

You! I told you idols are forbidden.

Don't you know this?!

It is not an idol. It's a crystal lingam.

- We use it in our daily prayers. - Shut up!

Now say! What were you thinking?

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Hey!

- Give it to me! - It's nothing! It's nothing!

Mother!

Keep moving!

Move, move.

- Get back! - What do you think of yourself?!

What are you'll looking at? Is this a show for you?

Go on, ask your God to come. Why won’t you?

Kill that mongrel!

Finish him off!

Brother!

Brother!

Brother!

Brother!

Not the horse or the elephant…

Surely not the tiger, either.

Sacrifice the lamb, the meek…

Even God kills the weak!

Even God wants us to live like lions and tigers.

One man…

He’s fighting alone, and you’re all just silently watching!

When your race and religion are under threat,

living passively is…

equal to being dead.

Dharma doesn't only mean singing hymns…

Dharma means…

standing together!

Go tell Alamgir…

everyone in the world is equal!
