Original subtitles

No, Jijau.

You need not do that.

Bless the unborn, O Goddess Jagadamba!

Mother...

is Abasaheb home?

He's going to the court of the Nizam and will meet you once he returns.

Lakhuji Raje!

The court of Nizam admires your honor and glory.

Since the time you've joined the Nizamshahi,

brave warriors have either bowed before it or sought refuge under its protection.

Glory be to Allah!

The courage displayed by you and your sons is remarkable.

You are honored with

a royal rank, elevated status, and new lands.

Please accept.

Congratulations to you!

Salutations to Lord Shiva!

Salutations to Lord Shiva!

Salutations to Lord Shiva!

Abasaheb!

Hey!

When you were our foe,

your strength was a nightmare.

Now that you're a friend,

the thought of you joining the enemy is even more terrifying.

I wish neither to live in fear nor suffer under your wrath.

Salutations to Lord Shiva...

The backstabbing nature of your ilk!

The day the Marathas awaken to this truth

will mark the beginning of your end!

Dawn of the Marathas!

Shall we proceed?

Proceed where?

More attacks will follow.

More blood will be spilled.

More of our people will be massacred,

and their corpses will be brought back here.

Then why proceed?

It's better to wait here on the burning ghats.

I'll certainly seek an explanation from the Nizam.

Raje, we are subjects of the Nizam.

The subjugated have no right to question their rulers.

For those who serve, dawn and dusk are all the same.

For the sake of self-respect, I have often thought of

sacrificing everything and rising in rebellion.

But the time is not right, Jija.

Waiting for the right time

has resulted in burning pyres in villages.

Tomorrow, villages will be reduced to ashes!

Turmoil, havoc, and chaos everywhere

Great destruction is at work, God

The abode of yours stands devastated

How much more suffering must we endure?

O Lord!

Mahadeva!

Answer our anguished hearts, our prayers

Arise and protect your own abode

O Lord!

Mahadeva!

Answer our anguished hearts, our prayers

Arise and protect your own abode

Death to Pune! Death to Pune! Pune is dead!

This punishment is imposed

due to Shahaji Raje Bhosale's rebellion against the Adilshahi!

Henceforth, the provinces of Pune and Supe shall remain under the Adilshahi rule.

By order, a donkey-drawn plough will be driven across the unholy lands of Pune.

Pune is hereby declared an unholy land.

Settling and agricultural activities are forbidden hereafter.

Festivals and celebrations are declared unlawful.

Pune is dead!

Salutations to Lord Shiva!

Salutations to Lord Shiva!

Salutations to Lord Shiva!

Pune is dead!

Death to Pune! Death to Pune! Pune is dead!

Can you see the destruction?

Or shall I show it to you?

This is my grandson.

This was once his paradise.

There was a beautiful courtyard here.

This is my son...

and this is my daughter-in-law.

I once called this place my home.

And this village, my family.

The village had a temple of yours.

But today, I've realized

even you couldn't help us!

We ran to you, trusting you to protect our lives.

But even you were not safe here!

Oh, Mahadeva!

Can you not see our anguish?

Can you not hear our desperate prayers?

Our fate is in your hands.

Can you not answer our desperate plea?

Oh, Mahadeva!

My God!

How much more bloodshed do you want to see?

How much more destruction do you want to see?

Raje...

Either come to protect us,

or destroy us completely!

Either declare you can't protect us,

or prove your existence once and for all!

Oh, Lord! Oh, Mahadeva!

Raje...

Shambhu Raje! What is the name of our beloved prince?

Shivaji!

- All hail Goddess Shivai! - Victory to the Mother Goddess!

Raje...

Raje...

Raje...

Where is brother Shambhu?

Brother!

Brother, what are you looking at?

Those flags.

Brother, whose flag is that?

The Mughals'.

And the other one?

That is the Adilshahi flag.

And this one is ours, right?

No. This one belongs to the Nizamshahi.

Where is our flag?

We don't have a flag.

All of them sought Abasaheb's alliance whenever it suited them.

Abasaheb first allied with the Mughals,

then with the Adilshahi,

and now he's with the Nizams.

Shivba...

whoever commands the flag rules the land.

Then why don't we command our own flag?

Swarajya is a prerequisite for having your own flag.

And what is the prerequisite for Swarajya?

It's been two years.

My grand dream of Taj...

is waiting in hope.

Will my legacy remain an unfinished story?

May the Emperor remain safe and sound.

Your dream will come true, and your legacy will stand at its pinnacle.

Six months have passed since the siege of Mahuli Fort.

The Nizamshahi has no way forward.

Shahaji has neither the courage to rebel

nor the ability to negotiate.

The Nizamshahi is finished.

The Nizamshahi would have fallen long ago,

were it not for that wretched Shahaji.

Along with the Nizamshahi, Shahaji must also be eliminated.

If prayers alone could solve a crisis,

we would never have been in this situation.

The courageous men I assembled

were lost to famine.

I mustered a courageous rebellion,

but got discouraged by the betrayal of my own people.

A secret conspiracy to seize control of the Nizamshahi was hatched behind my back,

and now I stand besieged!

The eclipse is overtaking the sun, Jija.

Your Majesty! Adil Shah in the Deccan and the Mughals in the North.

Between them lies the dying Nizamshahi.

Once the Nizamshahi is wiped out,

nothing will stand between the Adilshahi and the Mughals.

The Adilshahi is incapable of withstanding the wrath of the Mughal armies.

The Mughal army is a python, swallowing everything in its path.

The Mughals could never threaten us,

due to the presence of a fierce warrior in the Nizamshahi.

Shahaji Raje Bhosale!

We should secure his alliance before the Mughals do, my King!

I approve!

I do not approve!

I refuse to become a vassal of Adil Shah.

I approve!

Shahaji must be treated as the designated heir, not as a vassal.

Approved!

But our ancestral land, Pune, must be returned.

Approved!

Send a message to Emperor Shah Jahan

that Shahaji Bhosale intends to serve the Adilshahi.

I will never approve of this.

The Nizamshahi has been weakened by both of us.

Now Adil Shah wishes to enjoy the hunt alone.

Send him a message.

Both the Nizamshahi and Shahaji will be destroyed.

Offer 50,000 gold coins to Emperor Shah Jahan,

on the condition that Shahaji Raje remains our ally.

Not 50,000. Demand 100,000 gold coins.

Adil Shah can have Shahaji as his ally...

but Shahaji won't get Pune.

No compromise on Pune!

I accept the demand of 100,000 gold coins,

provided Shahaji keeps Pune and his allegiance to us.

Demand 500,000 gold coins.

Shahaji can have Pune,

but he cannot reside there.

Five lakh gold coins?

I approve 500,000 gold coins!

The Marathas can be dealt with later.

The completion of the Taj is of utmost priority.

It's better to keep Shahaji away from the Sahyadris.

Glory be to Allah!

The world may forget, but I know...

that the fourth pillar of Shah Jahan's wife's tomb

was contributed by His Majesty.

Don't worry, my dear. I will build one for you as well.

Brother, what's the matter?

The Nizamshahi rule has ended.

Ripped apart by the Mughals and Adil Shah.

Does that mean we are independent now?

Not really.

Abasaheb has forged a new alliance with the Adilshahi.

Brother, are we going to Pune?

- We are heading to Bangalore. - Why?

It is a pact between Abasaheb and Delhi.

Does that mean Abasaheb is defeated?

Mother, are you crying?

No, dear. Nothing like that.

Are you missing home?

I miss home too,

but I don't feel like crying.

Only a woman can understand this pain.

Every woman has to leave her home once in her life.

Twice in my case.

You'll know, my dear.

You'll understand once you grow up.

Raje...

Shivba!

Did you get hurt?

This is not right.

This wrestling is not fair.

My brother-in-law is much older than my husband.

Sai...

training against a stronger opponent breeds a fiercer warrior.

Sai, elders need to be respected too.

Oh, is it?

Brother...

did you get hurt?

Shambhu, a lack of vigilance is how a winning battle is lost.

I have got a message for Shahaji.

Mind how you speak! It's Shahaji Raje!

A little more audacity could've ended with your tongue on my spear!

Such pride at such a young age.

Were this a battlefield, I would have answered in kind.

- So be it! Consider this a battlefield! - Shambhu Raje!

Shahaji...

Raje.

You've got a message from Bijapur.

This feels less like a message and more like an assault.

We are just followers of the Emperor's order, Shahaji Raje.

You are ordered to leave Bangalore.

And the court of Adil Shah is waiting for you.

I will send my response.

- You may leave now. - You are not getting it, Raje.

This fort...

this estate...

is no more under your control.

I am here to take you with me.

You have been summoned by the court of Bijapur.

The order may be from Adil Shah,

but the words belong to another.

Who has been granted my estate?

Commander Afzal Khan Mohammad Shahi!

Rajaji...

I had sent you a message.

And what was your response?

"I am a king,

and I shall negotiate only with the royal throne,

not its servant."

You and your arrogance!

I am willing to negotiate.

One kneels to beg for mercy,

not for negotiation.

Do you like elephants?

Please have mercy on my father.

Do you like elephants?

No. I like lions.

Why?

A lion is the king of the jungle.

It's not afraid of anyone.

Wrong.

A lion fears an elephant

because the elephant knows its strength, while the lion knows its limitations.

That is why a lion changes its course in submission

when confronted by an elephant.

I beg you to have mercy on my father.

Your father could not save his fiefdom.

Let me see if you can save your father.

Before my elephant reaches yours,

if you can reach your father,

I shall spare all of you.

Run!

Father, we survived.

A lion rules the jungle

until an elephant declares itself king.

Note it down!

If a situation arises with Afzal on one side

and all the brave hearts on the other,

and the Almighty is asked who will conquer,

the universe will resonate...

Afzal...

Afzal...

Afzal!

Forgive me, Jija,

for making you go through this situation again.

Rush to Pune at the earliest.

Our hard-earned estate has been snatched from us.

Let's at least retain the rightful land.

I'm tired, Raje.

Generations have wasted their lives under the burden of foreigners.

The next generation must be its own master.

I have decided that once I reach Pune,

I will train both our sons to fight for their rights.

Not both.

Shambhu...

will stay with me.

But, Raje...

I am sending a successor to Pune,

and Adil Shah must not be given that idea.

It is best to keep

Shivba and Pune as far from Adil Shah's sight as possible.

And when shall we meet again?

Never leave your father alone.

Master the fuel of rage.

Do not let it burn you.

And it is your responsibility to pacify Shivba.

Brother, why can't we all stay together?

Shivba...

sometimes a sacrifice of one generation

creates a legacy for the family.

- And-- - I don't understand this!

Promise me you will come to Pune at the earliest.

Promise me!

I promise. I will come to Pune.

Raje, we have arrived in Pune.

Hey, old lady. The King is here.

Look who is back!

The King!

Everything of mine has been destroyed. The temple has been vandalized.

Is the King aware of it?

Daughters, women, children, and men... all were disgraced by evil men.

Is the King aware of it?

Someone, somewhere, gave the order...

and this land was desecrated by a donkey-drawn plough.

Is the King aware of it?

This Dussehra, good did not triumph over evil.

Instead, evil reduced the village to ashes!

Is the King aware of it?

The one who gives me back my life is my King.

He who protects the dignity of women is my King.

He who restores the sanctity of the village is my King.

He is not my King!

An aspiring light of hope has emerged

Answering the agonizing call Of the Sahyadris

The divine light of beloved Shivaji Has emerged

He sanctified this sacred land with A golden plough to ignite a new beginning

A courageous beginning blessed by Shakti!

History stands still to witness

The beginning of a golden era

On this auspicious day Let it be known to the skies

The thunderous roar of beloved Shivaji

Hear the ballad of Shivaji's valor O people!

A fierce sun rises Ending thousand years of darkness

Rudra's avatar stands The destroyer of injustice

Hail Shivrai!

When he wields his fierce sword Roaring, "Hail Mahadeva"

Unleashing his valor The enemy runs for life

Hail Shivrai!

He has set the enemies' camps on fire

Causing mayhem

To the invading sultanates He raised a Hindavi challenge

Listen, O people!

The sacred dawn broke

Beholder of good fortune Vowed for Swarajya!

Listen, O people!

The warrior blood poured As an offer to Rudra!

Listen, O people!

Drum beats echoed A thumping victory of Torna

The fort resonated with The roar of victory

Listen, O people!

FORT TORNA FORT KONDHANA

FORT RAJGAD

Jijau Saheb, my daughter Tulsa

was returning from the riverfront.

This man, Babaji Patil, from Ranjha village molested her!

Forced himself on her.

She committed suicide out of shame!

I didn't murder her, mind you!

That means you admit to violating her.

Who the hell are you to ask?

Patil!

You are all subjects of Adil Shah, and so am I.

I have done nothing different

from what Adil Shah's men do.

Lady Bhosale...

call this off.

Call this off right now.

Call off these theatrics.

Call this--

This is not Adil Shah's court.

This is Queen Mother Jijau's seat of justice.

Patil!

Let it be known that whoever violates the dignity of women in Swarajya

shall face the sword of Shivaji.

The enemy trembles at his thunderous kick

Hail Shivrai!

Cut off his legs and display him at the crossroads!

Today, it's limbs. Tomorrow, heads will be severed.

The rebellion of Shahaji's sons,

Shambhu and Shivaji, is becoming intolerable, Your Majesty!

Both are causing great trouble.

We need to act against them, Your Majesty.

When a bird settles for safety, it surrenders the sky.

Krushnaji Baji is entrusted as the Chandrarao of the Jawali estate.

The Jawali seat will forever remain grateful to Swarajya...

Shivba Raje!

Father!

A new Chandrarao has been designated in Jawali.

Is it really necessary to bring up this minor issue now?

It's not as simple as you think, Father.

This time, Shahaji's son Shivaji has appointed the Chandrarao.

Shahaji's son appears equally eager to revolt!

Even though they have inherited a rebellious nature...

failure is written in their destiny.

Shahaji's sons have come of age.

Look who is here

Causing the mayhem He is Shambhu!

The fearless, Rudra's avatar

All hail Shambhu!

Shambhu!

When will your habitual interference in state affairs end?

I've heard Adil Shah aspires to conquer the world.

When did Bijapur's politics descend to the level of children's play?

Along with your body, your ego has also grown.

But your wisdom does not match your age.

Don't forget, just like me, you are also subservient to Adil Shah.

Subservience is your nature.

Shambhu!

Bhosales are rulers!

And under our rule,

everyone is free to practice their own dharma.

A ludicrous weapon, yet the attitude of a warrior?

Protecting dharma with a bamboo stick?

Look who is here

Causing the mayhem He is Shambhu!

The fearless, Rudra's avatar

All hail Shambhu!

Shambhu himself is a lethal weapon in the protection of dharma.

Shambhu!

Be thankful it's a bamboo stick in my hand,

not a sword!

Disobedience will be considered a revolt against the Adilshahi.

Remember, the rebel has a name.

Sambhaji Shahaji Raje Bhosale.

Shambhu!

- May the Emperor of Bijapur... - Live long!

- May the Emperor of Bijapur... - Live long!

- May the Emperor of Bijapur... - Live long!

Wait!

His Majesty's health is in decline.

Announce only news that brings relief.

The news pertains to Siva from the Deccan.

How can there be any bad news about Siva?

Announce it.

Along with Kondhana Fort,

Siva has captured Purandar Fort as well, Your Majesty.

His Majesty has himself declared

that the kid is still naive.

Just ignore him.

Then the naive kid captured more forts, along with Purandar Fort.

The Jawali seat, which had obeyed Bijapur's decree to date,

was candidly assigned its own Chandrarao by Siva.

Well, doesn't matter.

How can we expect intellect from a naive kid?

Siva in the Deccan and Shambhu in the South are uniting the Hindu rulers.

But never mind.

His Majesty is more concerned about innocent birds than the naive rebels.

Even the birds must be feeling

what an incredible pet king we have!

Neither does he soar, nor does he let us take flight.

Fariyad Khan! Drag Shambhu to this court right now!

Muse Khan, Fateh Khan!

Go and eliminate Siva and all signs of his Swarajya!

- Go! - Yes, Your Majesty.

Right now!

Raje...

Victory is ours!

Raje...

Attack!

Raje...

- Glory to Bhavani! - Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Shivaji! - Glory to Shivaji!

- Glory to Bhavani! - Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Shivaji! - Glory to Shivaji!

- Glory to Bhavani! - Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Shivaji! - Glory to Shivaji!

Then why don't we command our own flag?

Swarajya is a prerequisite for having your own flag.

And what is the prerequisite for Swarajya?

Rebellion.

Raje...

Raje...

Henceforth, our land will hoist only our flag!

We have not just unfurled the saffron flag, but ignited a revolution!

Let it be known to the arrogant tyrants.

The Marathas have ceased to bow down to foreigners!

This revolution is for my motherland!

This revolution is for command over our own flag!

This revolution is for self-respect!

And this revolution is for Swarajya!

- Glory be to... - Lord Mahadeva!

- Glory be to... - Lord Mahadeva!

Raje is here!

On this beautiful occasion of a wedding Graced by kin and kith

Beautifully adorned groom has arrived To tie the sacred knot

Gentle, nervous, and blushing bride

She has arrived, beautifully adorned Courteous and shy

Naive, virtuous, expressive eyes

Longing to take a glimpse

The moment has arrived

My life is graced by your presence

As Goddess Laxmi She has arrived at this golden moment

Such a fortunate and auspicious moment

Sai, being a Kshatriya's life partner is not easy.

Being in the company of the Bhosales is like walking on the edge of a sword.

I'm aware. Please proceed with the vows.

Walking on the edge of a sword is no challenge for me.

I am blessed

With a bond of seven lives

My life is graced

With a beautiful Paarijaat flower

I am blessed

With a bond of seven lives

My life is graced

With a beautiful Paarijaat flower

I am blessed

With a bond of seven lives

What did you pray for?

It must not be revealed.

Turmeric for the wounds.

I don't even have a minor scratch.

Let me see!

Here, and here, and over here.

There will always be traces of soil on a farmer's body.

Doesn't it burn?

Your scolding burns more.

No way! Enough joking!

Sai!

Isn't it a lucky day to receive Paarijaat flowers?

I am so blessed.

Don't they belong to you?

The Paarijaat may belong to a courtyard,

but it blooms across the neighborhood.

I may belong to you,

but my destiny is with Swarajya.

Hey...

how did you get injured?

Didn't notice it in the hustle.

Where's the turmeric?

Are you aware of it, dear?

People are celebrating your valor all over Swarajya.

Salutations to Mahadeva

Shivaji, the incarnation of Mahadev Has risen on the Sahyadris

Fierce warriors with iron fists Have unleashed lethal swords

And blazing spears

O valiant beam of light Beacon of bravery

You ended the age of darkness

O pillar of Ram Rajya Founder of Hindavi Swarajya

You are the one adored

You eliminated the unrighteous evils

Challenged the invaders

O progenitor of new era

Lead us to unity And guide us to achieve your vision

The one and only one, zenith of valor O Chhatrapati

O epitome of bravery, virtuous Upholder of dharma, O Chhatrapati

O pride of Marathas

O tiger of Mother Goddess Bhavani

O legend of legends, righteous Guardian of principles, O Chhatrapati

O fierce warrior Crown jewel of Kshatriyas, O Chhatrapati

O pride of Marathas

O tiger of Mother Goddess Bhavani

You vowed to protect The gods, nation, dharma

And sacred duties with your blood

You are the torchbearer To end the age of darkness

With clasped palms You bow to the saints, sages, and monks

Severed the limbs of traitors

Who looked down upon the Swarajya

Shattering the chains of caste

Guarding the common good You rose as our savior

The world has known a thousand kings

But my heart bows to the one alone Chhatrapati Shivrai

Bestow your grace upon us Grant us strength to guard

The soul to die for you O Chhatrapati

The one and only one, zenith of valor O Chhatrapati

O epitome of bravery, virtuous Upholder of dharma, O Chhatrapati

O pride of Marathas

O tiger of Mother Goddess Bhavani

O legend of legends, righteous Guardian of principles, O Chhatrapati

O fierce warrior Crown jewel of Kshatriyas, O Chhatrapati

O pride of Marathas

O tiger of Mother Goddess Bhavani

From the heart of Maval

Devotees and locals alike came

Seeking a glimpse of the divine

The mere sight of him Is ultimate contentment

I'm blessed to worship my King Shivaji

The premise garlanded

Adorned and illuminated To celebrate this auspicious day

The euphoric moment of Shivba's sight

Has filled my heart with blissful tears

To bow in worship

And prostration at this divine moment Is a blissful fortune

To raise the revered saffron high And to paint the skies with its glory

Grant us a life of your devotion

A death of valor in your honor

The one and only one, zenith of valor O Chhatrapati

O epitome of bravery, virtuous Upholder of dharma, O Chhatrapati

O pride of Marathas

O tiger of Mother Goddess Bhavani

O legend of legends, righteous Guardian of principles, O Chhatrapati

O fierce warrior Crown jewel of Kshatriyas, O Chhatrapati

O pride of Marathas

O tiger of Mother Goddess Bhavani

Your Majesty, our forces couldn't hold their ground against Siva.

Muse Khan has also been killed.

What about Shambhu?

Your Majesty!

Shambhu wasn't flaunting the bamboo stick this time.

What was he wielding?

Look who is here

Causing the mayhem He is Shambhu!

The fearless, Rudra's avatar

All hail Shambhu!

Shambhu!

Shambhu!

Shambhu!

Look who is here

Causing the mayhem He is Shambhu!

The fearless, Rudra's avatar

All hail Shambhu!

Shambhu!

Shambhu!

Shambhu!

Dogs have been sent to hunt the tiger!

Shahaji's sons have traumatized Bijapur's armies.

His Majesty's grandeur has doubled.

The smile on his face is obvious.

My love!

Those who refuse to wear anklets end up chaining their own feet.

All that matters is the sound of the bells.

Taming a wild elephant is mere child's play for you.

Your Majesty, the Adilshahi possesses only one elephant.

Afzal!

Of course!

Shahaji Raje Bhosale...

hope you had a safe journey.

The Adilshahi's famed hospitality is nothing new to me.

The Mughals, the Nizams, and the Adilshahi

have long held a disgraceful habit of dishonoring the loyal.

The progenitor of rebels now speaks of loyalty.

Shahaji Raje, commander of the Adilshahi Empire...

tell me.

What have you done to crush the rebels of the empire?

I tried to dissuade them in every possible way.

But needless to say...

princes these days hardly heed their fathers.

You are very well aware of the consequences of disobedience.

I hope you will accept the punishment as well.

I have heard that

the Adilshahi armies were sent to stop Shambhu and Shivaji.

I have received no further details about it to date.

My loyalty to the Adilshahi still stands firm.

Imprison this puppet of loyalty!

Mother, will Abasaheb be released?

Where is Shivba?

Shivba!

Brother Shambhu!

You carry Abasaheb's persona within you.

They have set a condition to return Fort Kondhana.

We don't need to agree to anything.

If you receive any message, maintain the same response.

How are we supposed to free Abasaheb?

By striking Bijapur with lightning speed,

storming the prison,

and securing his release.

It's not that easy.

One mistake, and we are doomed.

I know the Adilshahi playbook inside out.

Every passing day in confinement is a threat to Abasaheb's life.

Give me some time to think over it.

Shivba...

we are running short of time.

How is Ausaheb?

She thinks of you all the time.

And what about you?

How have you been, Shivba?

Do you remember your promise?

I am coming to Pune.

Tell Ausaheb that I long to be fed by her once again.

Be prepared to march towards Bijapur!

Yes, my King.

Send a message to Emperor Shah Jahan through Prince Murad Baksh.

Yes, my King!

Father, the Marathas have sent a plea for support.

Perhaps Adil Shah has succeeded in suppressing the rebellion.

Captive Shahaji has neither lost his self-respect

nor the fierce pride in his eyes.

Pardon my audacity, my Queen, but showing mercy to a traitor

is an invitation to future betrayal.

Afzal, the jungle follows only one rule.

Kill the prey at first sight.

Emperor Shah Jahan has yet to respond, my King.

Brother Shambhu won't wait any longer.

Shambhu!

Shahaji Raje is being held in the northern underground prison.

My King! Shahaji Raje is being escorted into the royal court.

Adil Shah intended to counter us with the help of Shahaji.

With the aid of Siva, we will now destroy Adil Shah.

"Shivaji Raje Bhosale is a close confidant of the Mughal Empire.

Emperor Shah Jahan decrees that the well-being of his father,

Shahaji Raje Bhosale, who remains in your captivity, must be ensured.

Any harm done to him

would be considered a direct challenge to the Mughal Empire.

Wise judgment shall decide our next response."

You are extremely fortunate.

When Shah Jahan wanted to kill you, Adil Shah saved your life.

Now that the Adilshahi poses a threat to your life,

Shah Jahan is asking for your well-being.

Abasaheb.

Shambhu Raje!

Kudos to the Bhosales' spies!

Shahaji Raje is yet to be released,

and Shambhu has already arrived to receive him.

His release was inevitable today.

Be grateful the reason is you, not me.

You have nurtured arrogance within your sons.

But we possess the means to tame arrogance.

Shahaji Raje Bhosale...

you shall be released,

but under one condition.

Fort Kondhana is yours.

Shivba will hand it over.

Shahaji, your reputation as a master strategist is well-renowned.

Earlier, you captured my territories.

And now, you are hijacking my words too?

Very well.

You've guessed the first condition.

The second condition is my prerogative.

Shambhu Raje, from today onward, you will serve the Adilshahi.

And you will serve under Afzal Khan's command.

Agreed.

Shambhu...

that was hasty.

No father should endure confinement for so many days.

I guess I arrived late, Abasaheb.

The Emperor of Bijapur has always had respect for your stature, Shambhu.

But ultimately, he placed you under my servitude.

The emperor may have doubts about your capability.

That is the reason for appointing a Maratha.

Shambhu Raje, I'll lead the attack.

Aapa Khan may attempt to escape from the other side.

Until then, hold on to this position.

Commander, I will lead the attack.

You hold on to this position.

Must you be stubborn every single time?

If victory is a necessity, stubbornness is a prerequisite.

This campaign is under my command.

Obey the order of command.

An order is a king's privilege.

Sadly, you are not a king.

Despite your prayers and my unrelenting efforts,

why is the ultimate goal eluding us, Baba?

Tell me, what falls short here?

Your prayers or my efforts?

You are a mere slave of the King's order, Afzal.

Destiny favors only those who follow their own command.

Shambhu!

A mere title does not make one a true King.

The Marathas are destined either to die...

or live in slavery.

The day the Marathas conquer,

a true King shall rise.

No matter how many battles you win, you are still destined to remain a slave.

Brother Shambhu!

Brother Shambhu!

I couldn't keep the promise of coming to Pune, Shivba.

My heart is torn apart!

You are the only savior, O Jagadamba!

My heart is torn apart!

You are the only savior, O Jagadamba!

Leaving my life a drift in darkness

He has gone never to return

My brother, Sambha

My brother, Sambha

Little Shivba was graced

By mother's warmth

Separation was in fate

He was in a far away lands

My brother, Sambha

My brother, Sambha

My heart and soul was in far away lands

And my eyes were longing for him

I was yearning for his glimpse since long

My Sambha

Beloved brother of Shivba

And a piece of my heart

My beloved prince

My beloved, King Sambha

Hold him close to your heart

Feed him with your love

Shower him with your love Like your own, O Jagadamba

My Sambha

My Sambha

He was impulsive.

Stubborn.

Free-spirited!

Had I spent more time with him,

I would have tempered his nature.

He promised to share a meal with me.

My eyes were longing for him.

That promise won't be fulfilled now.

Who caused this, Shivba?

Afzal Khan.

Promise to bring me Afzal's head, Shivba.

My heart and soul was in far away lands

And my eyes were longing for him

I was yearning for his glimpse since long

My Sambha

Hold him close to your heart

Feed him with your love

Shower him with your love Like your own, O Jagadamba

My Sambha

My Sambha

My King.

My King!

The scribe of the Mahabaleshwar basin, Rango Trimal, molested a girl, my King.

The punishment should have preceded the report!

Cut off his limbs!

The coward has taken refuge in Jawali.

Send a message to the Chandrarao and get him arrested immediately.

Do not bury a burning issue under the ashes of silence!

You will face the wrath of fury!

Speak up!

My King...

The Chandrarao himself has given him refuge.

The Jawali seat remains forever grateful to Swarajya.

Shivba Raje!

The Chandrarao needs to be controlled, my King.

He is taxing merchants within our own territory.

Absconders of Swarajya are living with impunity in Jawali.

He is under the illusion that he is a king.

I had wished for the Chandrarao to be part of Swarajya.

The strategic territory of Jawali

to be part of Swarajya.

I ignored his increasing meddling.

But the Chandrarao seems to be in a total delusion.

Pant!

Send a message to the Chandrarao, asking him to come out of his delusion.

Any empathy shown to him is only because of Aausaheb's promise.

One should not proclaim the benefits and generosity extended to anyone,

but make him realize by whose grace he proclaims the seat!

No one can proclaim themselves a King by gathering a gang.

Jawali is my ancestral territory.

Sri Mahabaleshwar has bestowed the grace of Jawali upon me.

I have the Emperor's support.

Unwanted interference will not go unanswered.

Prove your valor today itself.

Why wait for tomorrow? Come today itself.

The arms and ammunition are ready to fire.

So be it!

Hail Shivrai!

Hail Shivrai!

Chandrarao...

I heard that Shivaji is marching towards us!

He's coming.

Don't worry.

Why fear when I am here?

Chandrarao, refuge in Jawali is the only reason I'm still alive.

Otherwise, my amputation was definite!

But suppose he actually arrives here...

- then what? - then what?

If he comes here...

your name will be engraved in history.

My name? How come?

Let me explain.

Rango Trimal compelled Shivaji to come to Jawali,

and Chandrarao killed him.

You mean he wouldn't dare step inside Jawali.

Raje, Shivaji has invaded Jawali with his men!

You need not worry.

Is invading Jawali a cakewalk?

Let him come.

It would be an achievement for him just to reach Jambhul Valley.

Raje, they have crossed Jambhul Valley and are storming through Saapla Pass.

Hail Shivrai!

Raje!

News has been confirmed. Shivaji Raje has been spotted at Daabhiltok!

Hail Shivrai!

You need not worry.

It will take him at least six hours to reach from Daabhiltok.

Raje...

Shivaji is nowhere to be seen.

No further reports of his sighting.

Didn't I tell you?

He must have gotten scared.

- You need not worry-- - Keep your mouth shut, Pratap!

He's not going back alive today!

Hey! Take your positions!

Rango Trimal!

It's time to engrave your name in history!

Raje...

Pratap!

Salutations to Mahadeva!

Salutations to Mahadeva!

Now!

Move quickly! Attack him!

Raje...

Raje...

Raje...

Your gracious invitation compelled me to present myself today itself.

Mercy, my King!

Please forgive me!

I beg for mercy.

I beg for mercy.

You must consider the Adilshahi before harming me.

Shivaji was not born to think about the Adilshahi.

But the Adilshahi shall never forget how I absolved your sins.

Chandrarao...

you've inherited the legacy of Chandrarao More.

Yet you flaunt the shackles of invaders like ornaments?

Across Nizamshahi, Adilshahi, and Mughal rule,

servility to invaders has stifled this land!

By trampling the invaders, I aspire to Hindavi Swarajya.

And what did I ask for in return?

I expected your bonding with Swarajya.

You despise being enslaved by invaders.

What's wrong with me rejecting yours?

Swarajya demands loyalty, not slavery, Chandrarao!

"Swarajya" means...

our land, our resources, our hard work, and the prosperity of all the people.

"Swarajya" means our efforts, our will, our aspirations,

and collective success.

"Swarajya" means our native, our culture, our belief,

and self-respect of the people.

I expected a supporter in you, but you turned into an opposer, Chandrarao.

Salutations to Mahadeva!

Salutations to Mahadeva!

This is the dawn of true justice in Jawali under Swarajya.

Jawali shall henceforth be part of Swarajya, Chandrarao.

Salutations to Mahadeva!

Your Majesty!

Jawali's Chandrarao, Krushnaji Baji is no more.

You take over as the new Chandrarao.

Your Majesty, that's not possible.

Why?

Shivaji attacked Jawali and killed Chandrarao.

And now he has declared a new King of Jawali.

Shivaji Raje Bhosale himself.

What do we name our prince?

Sambhaji.

Sambhaji!

My Shambhu!

Good wishes for the commemoration of the Bijapur court.

Commemoration of Jawali.

Siva has gained total control over all the affairs and trade of Jawali

within three years.

The entire Konkan, down to every corner, has turned saffron.

And what are the achievements of the veterans present here?

Nothing but consorting with the courtesans of Bijapur.

Late Mohammad Adil Shah mistook Siva for being naive.

I will not repeat that mistake.

If the wrists are reluctant to wield a sword...

they should be adorned with bangles.

It's easy to be audacious in the court, Afzal.

Even the rocks of the Sahyadris strike back.

My Queen, please rest assured.

Muse Khan went with the same instincts.

He never came back, but news of his fate did.

How horrific you want Siva's end to be depends only on your order.

Shall he be dragged in chains like his father,

or shall I send him

to Allah like his brother?

My King, Afzal has resolved to kill you.

Setting out on a new campaign, Afzal?

This time, I am on a campaign to change my destiny, Baba.

Destiny is Allah's will, Afzal.

All you need to do is rid yourself of arrogance.

Arrogance seldom matters to mighty warriors, Baba.

I am here to seek your blessings,

not your advice.

The path you have chosen calls for advice, not blessings.

Your arrogance will decide, Afzal,

whether you create history,

God willing,

or become part of history.

Will I emerge triumphant, Baba?

Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar...

Will I emerge triumphant, Baba?

Bad omen!

Bad omen!

- Bad omen! - Bad omen!

- Bad omen! - Bad omen!

- Bad omen! - Bad omen!

- Bad omen! - Bad omen!

- Bad omen! - Bad omen!

- Bad omen! - Bad omen!

- Bad omen! - Bad omen!

- Bad omen! - Bad omen!

- Bad omen! - Bad omen!

- Bad omen! - Bad omen!

- Bad omen! - Bad omen!

- Bad omen! - Bad omen!

- Bad omen! - Bad omen!

- Bad omen! - Bad omen!

With no festival or celebration today,

what has brought the harem here?

- You are heading for the expedition-- - I am a veteran of numerous expeditions...

but never been treated with such pomp before.

We just wanted to bid farewell to you.

This farewell reeks of fear.

May I know the reason?

Her Highness was saying...

What was she saying?

Peer Baba didn't answer clearly.

I'll give a clear answer.

You're being secretive with me, Sai.

I'm concerned about your health.

I have spoken to the Rajvaidya.

He said that your health is deteriorating day by day.

I'm worried about you, Sai.

I'm worried about you too, Raje.

But I do not need a Rajvaidya to know your well-being.

You've weathered extreme storms.

What worries you now?

Sai...

what is coming is not a storm.

It's an apocalypse.

A brutal, unpredictable apocalypse.

Your Highness!

The deity is moved out of the temple!

I thought I would meet your deity Vitthal before Siva.

Where is your deity Vitthal?

Hey!

Vitthal grants his divine sight only at his own will!

Submit yourself in prostration,

and you'll be graced with the divine sight of Vitthal and our King Shivaji as well!

My King, Khan has unleashed terror in Pandharpur.

He's vandalizing all the temples in his path...

desecrating the deities.

How many forts and pilgrim houses are there on his route?

Five.

Raje, intimidating orders are being sent to all the landlords of Maval.

I, Afzal Khan Mohammad Shahi, the new commander of Wai,

wish to warn the people of Maval

that Siva has challenged the Adilshahi by illegally capturing the Empire's forts.

Those who support disobedience

will forfeit their lands and be punished with death.

Bear in mind...

no mercy will be shown to those who support the rebellion.

- Kanhoji... - Yes?

rush to Pune at the earliest.

Shivba needs your support.

Be his trusted companion.

Certainly.

Your Highness!

We, the chieftains of Maval, along with our armies, are at your service.

Whoever we sought help from has fallen at Afzal Khan's feet.

Mambaji Bhosale has also followed Khan.

Pandhare has also joined Khan's rank.

Kharate has refused to reciprocate.

Kalyanrao Jadhav is yet to respond.

My entire harem could not bring me as much joy as all of you have.

May Allah grant them the highest place in heaven.

The very ones we empowered

have now joined forces with Afzal.

They deserve to be punished, my King.

Self-interest has consumed them.

Swarajya is my aspiration.

It seems like a lonely battle.

Is there a place for me in your grand aspiration, Shivba?

Salutations, my King!

Uncle Kanhoji, have you lost your way?

You too must have received Khan's order.

Shivba...

I'm here with a promise to Shahaji Raje.

That may be true.

Today, you may have joined me to support me...

but the moment Khan reaches your lands...

you will retreat.

You will retreat once he reaches your possessions.

My King...

So, it's better to retreat right now, Uncle Kanhoji.

I won't take it to heart.

My King?

The Jedhe bloodline is not one to betray, but to honor loyalty.

Who cares about Khan?

He may offer us land, money, and wealth,

but I despise wealth built upon the trampling of my culture.

Shivba...

thousands of inspiring stars may fade into darkness,

but an aspirational sun like you

must rise to dawn upon a new era.

And...

Shivba, henceforth...

I renounce all my lands, wealth, possessions, and these five sons...

for the cause of Swarajya.

Uncle Kanhoji...

I counted on many,

but only you came.

I may be the only one right now,

but lakhs will follow you soon.

I hope they rise up to the challenge.

They are marching closer towards Rajgad, my King.

Khan's forces continue to strengthen as more chieftains join him.

- Bahirji! - Yes?

Be prepared to leave Rajgad.

Pardon me, my King, but this is a misstep.

If you leave and Afzal arrives here,

our capital will be in danger.

Tanaji, battles must be avoided near homelands.

It is better to hold them on a frontier.

If he besieges the capital by brute force,

it will be a threat to Swarajya.

And make no mistake...

Afzal's pursuit is directed at me, not at Swarajya.

May I ask you something?

Is something weighing on your mind?

You should express yourself.

Internal turbulence troubles more than external storms.

Let it be.

Let me express my feelings to you.

You have much to accomplish ahead. I might be a hurdle in your endeavors.

Though I wish to, I'm unable to keep pace with your pursuit.

Continue pursuing your aspirations.

After all...

the shadows of those who run toward the sun are often left behind.

I'm content to remain behind you.

I'm worried about you, Sai.

What concern is a wick,

if it burns itself to ignite the torch of Swarajya?

Why shouldn't I be content with this life?

In difficult times, you stood by me as Lord Rama.

Brightened my life with joy during times of sorrow.

Just imagine, I reached my destiny without much effort.

It brings me happiness that you are in my life.

But I must confess a regret.

I could not spend my life with you,

a wish that remains unfulfilled.

Why speak as though we are parting forever, Sai?

Avoiding an eventuality won't stop it from happening, Raje.

Shall I tell you what I prayed for?

It must not be revealed.

If so...

I won't be able to express myself ever.

I prayed for...

this land to be blessed with Swarajya through your hands.

For all your wishes and aspirations to come true.

I'm content with this life, knowing that Swarajya is your first love.

But in the next life,

I will not let anyone take you away from me.

And in that life...

I won't accept anyone else being part of your life.

Sai...

All my other lifetimes are yours.

Only yours.

O beloved Paarijaat

O beloved Paarijaat

My life is graced by your presence

As a celestial star

As a pearl of the ocean

You have lit up my heart

Father... Siva has escaped to Jawali.

Jawali is a vast territory.

Where might Siva be hiding?

He has built a fort there.

Pratapgad.

Pratapgad!

Your presumption was spot on, Raje.

Khan has changed his course.

He is en route to Jawali via Wai.

What's your next move, Raje?

We do not possess an army strong enough to face Khan's brute force,

nor do we have the time to raise one.

Our fate is your command, O Mother Bhavani!

Jagadamba!

Father, this unrelenting rain won't let us move ahead.

Shall we halt the army here for today?

This is the ultimate test of the Sahyadri rains.

It will not recede for another three months.

Camp the armies here in Wai!

Raje, Mother Goddess blessed us!

The rains have answered our prayers.

Khan is forced to camp in Wai.

Khan is compelled to camp,

but he won't stay quiet.

Unleash such hellfire across the Deccan

that even the Sahyadri rains cannot douse it.

Your Highness.

Krushnaji...

head to Pratapgad and deliver a message to Siva.

The rat must be forced to come out.

Yes, Your Highness.

Any message from Afzal?

No, my Queen.

Your Highness, Supe stands deserted. The fort has been abandoned.

Not even a trace of a soldier.

Is there any response from Siva?

No, Your Highness.

Commander, we have captured both the forts of Shirwal and Saswad.

They lost their nerve before your forces even arrived.

Is there any response from Siva?

No, Father.

Your Highness! The forts of Tala, Koppal, and Maval stand deserted.

We captured them without a single shot fired.

Fazal, is there any response from Siva?

We do have a message, but it is from the Queen.

Honorable Afzal Khan!

I believe you are relentless in your pursuit.

Bijapur is abuzz with expectations.

The markets are abuzz with wagers on how you'll seize Siva.

Every nook and corner is abuzz with debate.

The court is eager to meet you and hear tales of your bravery.

But your approach is commendable.

Neither any report nor any messages.

It appears you shall return with a grand victory.

Granting supplies for the third time for your convenience.

May this encourage you in the steps to come.

Veiling venom in sweetness is an art

best learned from a woman.

Your Highness!

I am grateful you arrived before the Queen could deride me again.

Krushnaji, explain every detail thoroughly. I wish to know everything.

Pantaji Gopinath was ready to receive me at Pratapgad.

Welcome.

Torrential rain is a unique characteristic of our territory.

When can I expect to meet Shivaji Raje?

Soon.

You will meet him very soon.

Take some rest for a while.

It was unusual.

Everyone appeared to be busy with their routine.

But, Your Highness, I have a keen eye for the unusual.

Warm water was frequently taken inside behind closed doors.

The air was filled with the smell of a variety of herbs.

Krushnaji, get some rest.

- Please rest. - Sure, but...

I sent multiple requests to meet with Shivaji Raje.

I kept a close eye on every detail.

Warm water was delivered at regular intervals,

and sounds of grinding and crushing could be heard.

Did you meet Siva or not?

I did, Your Highness,

but after three days of waiting.

My King.

He hid his trembling hands beneath the quilt,

but my sharp gaze missed nothing.

The fatigue in his eyes was clearly visible, Your Highness.

Afzal Khan Mohammad Shahi, the Adilshahi's most esteemed commander,

has set up camp for your meeting.

He has sent this letter for you.

Siva, I regard your father, Shahaji Raje, as a brother.

I have enormous respect for him.

And you are like a nephew to me.

I will not take away the forts you have seized from the Bijapur Sultanate.

I'm a large-hearted person.

All your acts of disobedience shall be forgiven as well.

Come to meet me, Siva.

I'm eager to meet you and embrace you in my arms.

What was his response?

Absolute silence.

Such insolence! He dared to ignore my gesture?

He's sent an envoy, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I am Pantaji Gopinath Bokil.

I come bearing a response from Shivaji Raje.

Your Highness, Shivaji Raje is fortunate that you consider him as one of yours.

My King...

I would not be able to say that.

You will have to.

Speak the words I ask you to.

Your Highness, the stories of your might...

Everything we've heard is absolutely true.

Shivaji Raje bows neither to the Mughal forces nor to the armies of the Adilshahi.

He believes there is one and only one stalwart in Bijapur.

Commander Afzal Khan!

Please come to Jawali.

Shivaji Raje extends an earnest request.

Pant!

I will never go to Jawali.

Your Majesty, you're committing a blunder.

You should seek an earliest meeting with Commander Khan.

His desire is to undo the injustice inflicted upon your family.

In fact, he is planning a grand welcome for you at the Bijapur court.

What did he say?

Your Highness, it is shameful to express...

but our King...

Our King is scared of you.

He has already offended you for no reason.

And now, fearing a visit with you, he's spending sleepless nights.

Write this down as well.

Pant!

Bring Siva here!

I am no fool to set foot in Jawali.

Has Afzal made the Sahyadris his home?

Commander Khan has requested more supplies.

My King.

It's been over a month. We will have to respond.

Is there any response from Siva?

Kavji, have we received any message from Uncle Kanhoji?

No, Father.

No, my King.

Pant!

Afzal must be drawn into the depths of Jawali.

Absolutely impossible.

Commander Khan must come to Jawali to resolve this deadlock, Krushnaji.

Listen, Pant...

Commander Khan has encamped here with a vast armament.

How can we expect him to leave it all behind and come alone?

Commander Khan can come aptly decorated with his armament.

Raje is very keen to meet up.

But you must come to Jawali.

Who is he?

Bada Sayyad.

Has Shivba responded?

No, Raje.

Shivaji Raje has refused to meet.

Your Highness. The Queen has sent a message.

If the wrists are reluctant to wield a sword...

they should be adorned with bangles.

Pant!

I will come to Jawali!

Make it easy for him to reach Jawali.

Raje, Khan has agreed to meet Shivaji Raje.

Afzal is a devious backstabber.

Be prepared with the armies.

My King!

We have received grievous news from Rajgad.

So blessed

I am to be wedded to Shivaji

I'm content with this life, knowing that Swarajya is your first love.

But in the next life,

I will not let anyone take you away from me.

O beloved Paarijaat

O beloved Paarijaat

My life is graced by your presence

As a celestial star

As a pearl of the ocean

You have lit up my heart

Checkpoints and guards have been set.

But, my King, comparatively, we are deficient in military strength.

My King, Jedhe is here.

Salutations, my King!

You came alone,

but I'm glad you came.

I haven't come alone, my King.

My King.

They have left their homes to embrace martyrdom.

If one is asked what a warrior with no fear of death looks like,

let them be known as the fearless faces gathered here.

Who are we fighting for?

For whom have all of you assembled here?

For yourself?

For Uncle Kanhoji?

Or for me?

Let me tell you.

For the smiling faces of those you leave behind each morning,

this fight is for them.

We will have to ride the winds and sacrifice our lives,

but this fight is for the commoners on whose strength

the saffron stands proudly.

This fight is for the powerless who aspire to fight but cannot.

The sacred land that blesses our crops.

The sacred land that nurtures our children.

The Adilshahi commander, Afzal Khan,

with his mighty elephantry, cavalry, huge army, and heavy artillery,

has set his unholy foot on this land to crush and humiliate the Maratha pride!

But we will show the Adilshahi

that the Marathas cannot be reduced to ashes!

The Marathas soar like phoenixes from the ashes!

Our blood rises to the occasion, and today that moment has arrived.

Never forget!

No matter how mighty the enemy may be,

they can be defeated with a single decisive strike!

I returned to my motherland holding the finger of Ausaheb.

The ruins of Pune from that time still haunt me.

Beyond that, what haunts me more

is the weeping eyes of an old lady I once met.

I didn't just see Pune in those eyes.

I saw the entire Maratha motherland!

Those eyes screamed the pain of broken houses,

vandalized temples,

devastated spirits,

and broken pride.

Those eyes of the old lady are my Aausaheb's eyes.

Those are the eyes of your loving mothers.

Those eyes are the eyes of Goddess Bhavani!

Those eyes ordain me to stand with pride,

ordain you, ordain all of us, and ordain each and every Maratha!

Goddess Bhavani has ordained this sword of mine!

This resolve is not for today, but for a better tomorrow!

Let us pledge to the flame of this torch,

to erase the darkness of our future generations, future clans,

and the future era!

All hail Goddess Bhavani!

Victory to Mother Goddess!

- Glory be to... - Lord Mahadeva!

- Glory be to... - Lord Mahadeva!

- Glory be to... - Lord Mahadeva!

The meeting must be held in private.

Agreed.

Weapons to be allowed in the meeting.

Agreed, but no more than two guards should be present in the shamiana.

Agreed.

A minimum of ten soldiers is to be allowed for their protection.

Agreed, but their proximity should be avoided.

They can be positioned within the striking range of an arrow on both sides.

Agreed.

Commander Khan to arrive first in the shamiana.

Not agreed.

Why should Commander Khan wait for Shivaji Raje?

Let's avoid misunderstandings this time.

Commander Khan can inspect the shamiana if he arrives early.

And traditionally speaking, a disciple follows his guru.

I've never heard of a guru following his disciple.

Agreed.

Netoji, be prepared with your cavalry at Ambenali Ghat.

Uncle Kanhoji, keep a vigil on Paarghat with the help of Deshmukhs.

Sure.

Tanaji, you have the responsibility of the southwest of Pratapgad.

Bahirji, take control of the ghats.

Yes, my King.

Yesaji, Kaoji, you will accompany me.

Pant, the responsibility of bringing Afzal to the shamiana is yours.

Jiva, under no circumstance should you lose sight of Bada Sayyad.

Tomorrow, Siva will be confined in this prison.

Dead or alive!

Your Highness, at last, the elephant has decided to be a king!

Come what may, Siva must not escape alive.

Yes, Your Highness.

Submit yourself in prostration,

and you'll be graced with the divine sight of Vitthal and our King Shivaji as well!

Raje...

Raje...

Everywhere, there is an echo of Siva.

Is he the one?

I have come across mentions of Afzal.

Is he the one?

Your hospitality must be appreciated, Siva.

The grandeur of this shamiana

surpasses even the court of Bijapur.

- Commander Khan, it is in your-- - I am not here to speak with you, Pant!

I had an image of you in my mind,

but you are shorter than I thought.

More than the Adilshahi Sultanate,

you think of me?

That is gratifying to hear.

Glory be to Allah!

I may think more of you,

but what is on your mind, Siva?

Swarajya.

Hail Shivrai!

Swarajya! Swarajya! Swarajya!

All along my journey, I've only heard this!

What the hell is this Swarajya nuisance all about?!

Be thoughtful in your choice of words.

If you ever fathom the true essence of Swarajya,

you'll uphold the honor of the saffron flag!

Hail Shivrai!

You're quite headstrong, Siva!

It was your insistence that I should come here.

And it was my insistence that I embrace you.

I accepted your insistence.

Now it's your turn to reciprocate.

Come, Siva, let me embrace you.

This is Afzal's clutch.

The more you resist, the tighter the grip becomes!

This is the despicable status of you Marathas!

This is the result of aspiring beyond one's stature!

Henceforth, your Swarajya

will be nothing but a Deccan fable,

and no Maratha will dare to dream of it again.

This is your end.

And with you, this is the end of your Swarajya.

O Lord!

Mahadeva!

Give Shambhu my regards and good wishes.

Arise and protect your own abode

The backstabbing nature of your ilk!

The day the Marathas awaken to this truth

will mark the beginning of your end!

Dawn of the Marathas!

Afzal, this is the true stature of the Marathas!

The Marathas have ceased to tolerate the backstabbers!

Raje...

Shivaji's legacy may end, but Swarajya is eternal!

Raje...

Hindavi Swarajya shall be established.

This is the will of God!

Glory be to...

Mahadeva!

Raje...

The one and only one, zenith of valor O Chhatrapati

O epitome of bravery, virtuous Upholder of dharma, O Chhatrapati

O pride of Marathas

O tiger of Mother Goddess Bhavani

O legend of legends, righteous Guardian of principles, O Chhatrapati

O fierce warrior Crown jewel of Kshatriyas, O Chhatrapati

O pride of Marathas

O tiger of Mother Goddess Bhavani

- Glory to Bhavani! - Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Shivaji! - Glory to Shivaji!

Shivaji!

Jiva! Jiva!

Jiva! Jiva!

Jiva! Jiva!

Jiva! Jiva!

Watch your words. It is Shivaji Raje.

He's the ironclad shadow of Shivaji! He's Jiva!

The ultimate enemy slayer! He's Jiva!

He's the ironclad shadow of Shivaji! He's Jiva!

The ultimate enemy slayer! He's Jiva!

- Glory to Bhavani! - Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Shivaji! - Glory to Shivaji!

My King, you proceed.

You have reduced Ravana to dust.

I will burn the Lanka.

My King, Afzal has resolved to kill you.

To defeat a mighty enemy, wisdom prevails over power!

Psyops are the first weapons to strike the enemy.

- Bad omen! - Bad omen!

Two steps back in the present mean one step forward in the future.

How many forts and pilgrim houses are there on his route?

Five.

Concede them with minimal resistance.

The forts were deserted before we could reach them.

Afzal's terror arrives before Afzal himself.

- Glory be to... - Lord Mahadeva!

Convert your enemies' confidence into arrogance.

- Raje has heard that... - You have unmatched strength.

The mere thought of you is a nightmare.

He believes there is one and only one stalwart in Bijapur.

Commander Afzal Khan!

When war is inevitable, we must choose the battlefield to our advantage.

Pant, design a clever plan.

Commander Khan must come to Jawali to resolve this deadlock, Krushnaji.

I will come to Jawali!

- Glory to Bhavani! - Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Shivaji! - Glory to Shivaji!

Raje...

Jagadamba!

Raje...

This is not just a seal. With it, I pass on the dream of Swarajya.
