1
00:02:48,220 --> 00:02:49,720
18th century

2
00:02:50,270 --> 00:02:53,770
The Golden Age of Peshwas printed
in gold letters

3
00:02:53,850 --> 00:02:55,450
in the history of Marathi regions.

4
00:02:56,350 --> 00:02:57,680
While art, knowledge,

5
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,290
and culture flourish freely.

6
00:03:01,780 --> 00:03:03,760
When all these talents shone
in all the provinces.

7
00:03:04,670 --> 00:03:06,740
This story is from this period.

8
00:03:06,940 --> 00:03:09,320
This is the story of a Marathi dancer.

9
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:11,850
Of Phullwanti

10
00:03:13,050 --> 00:03:14,050
Phullwanti

11
00:03:14,850 --> 00:03:16,940
The gait of a deer,
the edge of sight,

12
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:20,170
the sword of speech, unusual artists.

13
00:03:21,380 --> 00:03:23,600
A fine artist,

14
00:03:23,780 --> 00:03:26,980
winning praise from
art pundits as well,

15
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,690
The one whose dance forms
were praised in fourteen countries.

16
00:03:31,630 --> 00:03:33,930
This Menaka, who gained
the fame of Urvashi,

17
00:03:35,210 --> 00:03:38,700
used to perform
in the whole of Hindustan.

18
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,110
But I never thought

19
00:03:42,020 --> 00:03:44,500
that we will get the responsibility

20
00:03:44,590 --> 00:03:47,370
of carrying this precious invitation
to her from Pune.

21
00:03:54,540 --> 00:03:56,630
- Hearty congratulations.
- Congratulations.

22
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,000
Okay, the alliance is final now.

23
00:03:59,930 --> 00:04:01,230
- Sweeten your mouth.
- Yes yes.

24
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:02,530
Wow! Wow! Wow!

25
00:04:02,610 --> 00:04:03,740
Let's talk about the dowry now.

26
00:04:06,980 --> 00:04:09,180
What happened?

27
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,070
Why are you quiet now?

28
00:04:15,010 --> 00:04:16,350
I had heard that

29
00:04:16,430 --> 00:04:18,910
on a normal occasion

30
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:21,880
you had brought your wife home
from Shaniwar Wada

31
00:04:22,050 --> 00:04:25,490
to your house on a mat of silver coin.

32
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,180
Is this true?

33
00:04:27,750 --> 00:04:29,020
Laughing... means it's true.

34
00:04:30,970 --> 00:04:31,770
Yes.

35
00:04:31,950 --> 00:04:33,810
So, what happened now?

36
00:04:34,430 --> 00:04:36,020
In the name of dowry,

37
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,120
why did you suddenly become quiet?

38
00:04:42,290 --> 00:04:43,850
No, Subedar.

39
00:04:44,350 --> 00:04:46,890
Everything I own,
belongs to my daughter.

40
00:04:47,890 --> 00:04:49,060
You can ask anything.

41
00:04:49,140 --> 00:04:50,310
Demand?!

42
00:04:51,060 --> 00:04:52,140
Ask.

43
00:04:52,350 --> 00:04:55,560
Do we lack anything to ask from you?

44
00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:57,720
You wouldn't demand I know.

45
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,300
- Even I am Subedar Mankar.
- Yes.

46
00:05:03,650 --> 00:05:05,530
We don't want any dowry.

47
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,910
But I want you to promise me
to give me what I ask for.

48
00:05:15,850 --> 00:05:17,560
- I promise?
- Wow! Great!

49
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,470
Wow!

50
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,980
Not just silver,

51
00:05:20,270 --> 00:05:21,850
I will give gold anklets.

52
00:05:21,930 --> 00:05:24,370
Great.

53
00:05:24,770 --> 00:05:27,090
This is a wish of my loved ones,
not mine...

54
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,360
I repeat, my loved ones have a wish.

55
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:32,220
On the night of the wedding,

56
00:05:32,570 --> 00:05:33,820
we want Phullwanti

57
00:05:34,770 --> 00:05:36,350
to dance for the village.

58
00:05:36,430 --> 00:05:38,140
(All in agreement)

59
00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:39,360
General sir,

60
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,100
I'd rather shower you
with gold and silver.

61
00:05:42,770 --> 00:05:44,690
Finding that woman is nearly impossible.

62
00:05:46,610 --> 00:05:49,250
She's forever moving
from one place to another.

63
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,900
But we want that wayfaring dancer

64
00:05:51,980 --> 00:05:53,730
to entertain my villagers.

65
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,140
Why not?

66
00:05:55,230 --> 00:05:58,140
You can't go back on your word, sir.

67
00:05:59,420 --> 00:06:01,770
Even the royal courts
of emperors invite her

68
00:06:01,850 --> 00:06:03,390
but she doesn't pay heed.

69
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,950
Why would she heed me?

70
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:07,310
That's exactly why I took
a promise from you.

71
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,890
You're a moneylender for the king.

72
00:06:12,350 --> 00:06:14,630
Finding a woman is no big deal for you.

73
00:06:15,140 --> 00:06:18,720
We want Phullwanti
to dance for us, that's it.

74
00:06:18,980 --> 00:06:20,710
Find her no matter where she is.

75
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,790
No! Phullwanti dance
should be done or not?

76
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:12,930
I'm not... him.

77
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,730
This is the first time I'm seeing
the emperor wait for someone.

78
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,980
It's no ordinary person.

79
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,040
The whole nation waits for her eagerly.

80
00:07:33,870 --> 00:07:37,410
"The world is lit up"

81
00:07:37,550 --> 00:07:40,960
"by her brilliance"

82
00:07:41,150 --> 00:07:44,340
"Spreading joys and cheers around"

83
00:07:44,620 --> 00:07:48,300
"a nymph has arrived from the heavens"

84
00:07:51,810 --> 00:07:57,150
"The jingling of her anklets
fills the air with melody"

85
00:07:57,230 --> 00:08:02,730
"The chime of her bangles
sway the winds"

86
00:08:06,290 --> 00:08:09,750
"Ears yearn to hear the words"

87
00:08:09,950 --> 00:08:13,610
"of this enigmatic poetess"

88
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:18,700
"All hearts and eyes wait
to get a glimpse"

89
00:08:18,780 --> 00:08:20,570
"of Phullwanti"

90
00:08:20,650 --> 00:08:21,670
Lo behold!

91
00:08:38,750 --> 00:08:41,280
"On a splendid full moon night"

92
00:08:42,170 --> 00:08:44,900
"my beauty lights up the skies"

93
00:08:45,950 --> 00:08:49,600
" Beaming with resplendence
and sparkle"

94
00:08:49,670 --> 00:08:52,020
"I am a heavenly nymph"

95
00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:56,620
"I sway like lightening
amidst colours of joy"

96
00:08:56,820 --> 00:09:01,200
"spreading the fragrance
of cheer like precious musk"

97
00:09:01,650 --> 00:09:06,750
"I am Phullwanti"

98
00:09:08,910 --> 00:09:14,040
"I am Phullwanti"

99
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,750
"I am Phullwanti"

100
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,440
"You sway with a magnificent gait"

101
00:09:23,690 --> 00:09:28,470
"Your moves leaves people mesmerised"

102
00:09:28,890 --> 00:09:32,420
"You sway with a magnificent gait"

103
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:38,210
"Your moves leaves people mesmerised"

104
00:09:59,170 --> 00:10:00,330
Bravo!

105
00:10:07,170 --> 00:10:10,170
"Be it heaven or earth"

106
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,720
"there's none as pretty as me"

107
00:10:16,220 --> 00:10:19,170
"This beauty is divine grace"

108
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:25,140
"My style and enigma
is unique like no other"

109
00:10:25,210 --> 00:10:27,040
"The stars and winds"

110
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,920
"envy my charming ways"

111
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,920
- "and lightening energy"
- Lovely!

112
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,620
"I sway like lightening
amidst colours of joy"

113
00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:42,040
"spreading the fragrance
of cheer like precious musk"

114
00:10:42,710 --> 00:10:46,250
"I am Phullwanti"

115
00:10:46,340 --> 00:10:50,120
"Oozing with youth
and charm like fresh flowers"

116
00:10:50,190 --> 00:10:53,460
"She makes hearts swoon with her grace"

117
00:10:53,540 --> 00:10:57,130
"I am Phullwanti"

118
00:10:57,210 --> 00:11:00,920
"Like a dainty rose
and tempting fragrance'

119
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,290
"she captivates hearts with her charm"

120
00:11:04,380 --> 00:11:08,070
"I am Phullwanti"

121
00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:11,510
"You sway with a magnificent gait"

122
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,720
"Your moves leave people mesmerised"

123
00:11:17,170 --> 00:11:20,600
"You sway with a magnificent gait"

124
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:26,630
"Your moves leave people mesmerised"

125
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,250
"I am Phullwanti"

126
00:12:03,940 --> 00:12:04,740
Excellent!

127
00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:07,760
What a thing! Very nice!

128
00:12:11,370 --> 00:12:13,060
Wow.

129
00:12:16,770 --> 00:12:18,110
Mashallah!

130
00:12:18,550 --> 00:12:20,240
(crowd cheering)

131
00:12:20,420 --> 00:12:21,880
Wow.

132
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,240
Brilliant.

133
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,160
Your reputation doesn't do justice

134
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,130
to your talent.

135
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,000
Hence, today I bestow you with the title

136
00:12:35,450 --> 00:12:39,900
of 'chand -e-mughal saltanat' (moon)
with 5 villages as reward.

137
00:12:39,990 --> 00:12:41,570
Great!

138
00:12:45,540 --> 00:12:47,780
Hereafter, you shall dance only

139
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,540
for my court.

140
00:12:55,970 --> 00:12:57,190
Forgive me, your majesty,

141
00:13:00,350 --> 00:13:01,580
I am an artist

142
00:13:03,340 --> 00:13:04,350
not a slave.

143
00:13:04,980 --> 00:13:07,560
- What are you saying?
- Phullwanti,

144
00:13:08,630 --> 00:13:10,710
his majesty deemed you a moon

145
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,390
not a slave.

146
00:13:17,730 --> 00:13:20,670
That means he gets to decide

147
00:13:21,950 --> 00:13:23,470
when and where this moon will rise.

148
00:13:26,010 --> 00:13:30,110
Powerful kings and
noble men of the world

149
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:31,780
yearn to get access to this court.

150
00:13:32,180 --> 00:13:33,160
Who cares!

151
00:13:34,940 --> 00:13:38,560
Back in the day,
our beloved Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

152
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,870
was offered an official's post
with rank 5,000.

153
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:44,700
He saw through the enslaving tactics

154
00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:47,170
and refused it.

155
00:13:51,060 --> 00:13:53,830
Call it a Marathi peculiarity or trait,

156
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,870
rejecting slavery

157
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,300
runs in our blood.

158
00:14:05,260 --> 00:14:06,300
Phullwanti,

159
00:14:07,620 --> 00:14:10,620
an artist is above religion.

160
00:14:10,910 --> 00:14:13,790
Likewise, an artist cannot belong
to one court.

161
00:14:14,620 --> 00:14:17,540
An artist bound by restrictions

162
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:19,880
is but a slave.

163
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,400
Phullwanti!

164
00:14:29,450 --> 00:14:30,370
Bravo.

165
00:14:30,450 --> 00:14:32,870
Spoken like a true artist!

166
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,950
My respect for you has increased.

167
00:14:39,430 --> 00:14:43,080
Now onwards,
Phullwanti shall tour the nation

168
00:14:43,850 --> 00:14:46,640
as an esteemed guest
of the Mughal empire.

169
00:14:49,550 --> 00:14:51,950
Provide her with royal arrangements.

170
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:53,650
Yes, your majesty.

171
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,110
Wow.

172
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,480
Phullwanti doesn't dance
for royal officers.

173
00:15:10,300 --> 00:15:12,330
Many a merchants beckon my presence

174
00:15:13,410 --> 00:15:15,790
but Phullwanti chooses
who she dances for.

175
00:15:15,940 --> 00:15:16,870
Madam,

176
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,830
don't worry about the money.

177
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,120
You'll get any amount you ask for.

178
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,080
Heard that, Champa?

179
00:15:25,660 --> 00:15:27,110
The emperor of Delhi made the same offer

180
00:15:28,370 --> 00:15:31,160
in different words, right?

181
00:15:33,830 --> 00:15:34,990
You may leave.

182
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:37,250
You heard her.

183
00:15:37,770 --> 00:15:40,120
She even rejected the emperor.

184
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:41,580
You're nothing in comparison.

185
00:15:42,430 --> 00:15:44,700
You may leave, sir.

186
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,080
I have given my word
that I'll get your approval.

187
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,210
I've seen many who make such claims.

188
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,120
Even my assistant shows them the door.

189
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,130
- Mind your tongue!
- Really!

190
00:16:03,340 --> 00:16:04,500
Jana!

191
00:16:08,210 --> 00:16:09,620
That's how artists are!

192
00:16:09,970 --> 00:16:11,020
What now?

193
00:16:11,990 --> 00:16:12,940
Nothing.

194
00:16:14,340 --> 00:16:16,210
Let's go back to Pune.

195
00:16:18,750 --> 00:16:19,940
- Baija!
- Yes?

196
00:16:21,780 --> 00:16:23,590
The gentleman has come from Pune,
land of the Peshwa.

197
00:16:25,500 --> 00:16:26,910
You must cater to them.

198
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,690
Get them seated in the royal tent
and serve refreshments.

199
00:16:44,860 --> 00:16:47,120
Gopalnaik Bakhre from Pune,

200
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,760
one who lends money to the Peshwa!

201
00:16:53,740 --> 00:16:55,530
Why bother coming all the way here?

202
00:16:56,230 --> 00:16:58,040
I had no choice.

203
00:16:59,650 --> 00:17:02,760
It's not like I'm a patron
of music and dance.

204
00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:11,500
Dance is cheap for some
and an art for others.

205
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,410
It's a matter of perspective.

206
00:17:16,830 --> 00:17:20,040
With a clear conscience,
you'll see a goddess in a dancer.

207
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:21,700
Wow!

208
00:17:25,540 --> 00:17:27,770
It's my daughter's wedding.

209
00:17:28,350 --> 00:17:32,270
Her in-laws want nothing else
but your performance.

210
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,250
I have close ties with the Peshwa

211
00:17:39,610 --> 00:17:40,930
so they are convinced

212
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,830
you will grace their invitation.

213
00:17:47,070 --> 00:17:48,340
I haven't dance in Pune yet.

214
00:17:49,490 --> 00:17:52,570
If I ever do,
it has to be in Shaniwar Wada,

215
00:17:55,050 --> 00:17:58,040
where Mastani danced.

216
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,160
All I want is to feel it

217
00:18:04,870 --> 00:18:06,200
so I can die in peace.

218
00:18:06,990 --> 00:18:08,200
Phule!

219
00:18:08,650 --> 00:18:10,080
Don't say such ominous things.

220
00:18:14,590 --> 00:18:16,530
Do this for me

221
00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:19,680
and I'll dance anywhere you ask

222
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,220
that too for free.

223
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,040
The Peshwa's court has a plethora
of unmatched royal dancers.

224
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,300
Who's in need here?

225
00:18:36,350 --> 00:18:38,330
You do what is needed.

226
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,600
Just make this happen

227
00:18:43,050 --> 00:18:44,200
then we'll see

228
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,810
how those dancers beat my talent.

229
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,640
We had no option than to agree
to Phullwanti's condition.

230
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,340
I quickly made Shrimant Peshwa
aware of this condition.

231
00:18:58,810 --> 00:19:01,430
He happily welcomed her condition.

232
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,150
News of her arrival spread
everywhere in Pune.

233
00:19:07,260 --> 00:19:09,240
Village squares and at homes,

234
00:19:09,510 --> 00:19:11,480
she was discussed around everywhere.

235
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:14,580
Wow, Wamanrao.

236
00:19:15,490 --> 00:19:17,400
On the next Vasant Panchami,

237
00:19:17,730 --> 00:19:19,930
you're all set to see
the resplendent moon.

238
00:19:20,010 --> 00:19:22,310
Indeed, she's a looker.

239
00:19:22,550 --> 00:19:24,090
No wonder the emperor in Delhi

240
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,820
bestowed her with a royal title.

241
00:19:28,770 --> 00:19:30,050
Listen, Wamanrao.

242
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,940
Phullwanti will be coming to Pune.

243
00:19:34,100 --> 00:19:35,920
Let us also honour her with some title.

244
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,230
I suggest, Chimanrao.

245
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,280
You want to honour her, right?

246
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:40,670
- Yes.
- Punekars

247
00:19:40,900 --> 00:19:42,560
are always expert in this job.

248
00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:43,870
Then title her with

249
00:19:45,050 --> 00:19:47,650
Jahan-e-Sarasbaugh.

250
00:19:49,570 --> 00:19:51,550
Or Noor-E-Kothrun.

251
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:54,310
- Phullwanti?
- Is she here?

252
00:19:57,350 --> 00:19:58,350
Dear god!

253
00:19:59,110 --> 00:20:01,850
They can't stop praising that show girl!

254
00:20:01,940 --> 00:20:03,150
Oh no,

255
00:20:03,510 --> 00:20:05,790
I've heard she's a great dancer.

256
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,480
She's a divine beauty

257
00:20:10,380 --> 00:20:12,120
and yet she's untouched.

258
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,770
What rubbish!

259
00:20:14,230 --> 00:20:17,240
She adorns expensive clothes
and ornaments.

260
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,250
How can she be untouched?

261
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,860
Her moves

262
00:20:22,350 --> 00:20:24,710
make men go weak in the knees.

263
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,560
- Really?
- So!

264
00:20:28,390 --> 00:20:30,890
You better keep your oldie in check.

265
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:32,520
Meaning?

266
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,650
Good sense leaves in old age.

267
00:20:35,220 --> 00:20:37,330
Really? Your husband attends the court

268
00:20:37,810 --> 00:20:38,970
not mine.

269
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,270
For all you know, your marriage
will be the first to break!

270
00:20:42,730 --> 00:20:44,970
Forget about my husband age

271
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,270
and worry about your husband's passion.

272
00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:52,320
Oh dear!

273
00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:54,590
- Guess she's here.
- Look she has come.

274
00:21:10,780 --> 00:21:12,590
After winning the whole nation,

275
00:21:13,050 --> 00:21:15,930
Phulla will now reign over Pune.

276
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:17,420
My sweetiepie!

277
00:21:19,770 --> 00:21:21,850
Welcome.

278
00:21:21,940 --> 00:21:25,480
I welcome you to the land
of Kasba Ganpati.

279
00:21:26,730 --> 00:21:27,690
Come.

280
00:21:29,860 --> 00:21:31,480
I expected the Peshwa would welcome me.

281
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:32,730
Here he is.

282
00:21:33,230 --> 00:21:34,020
Where?

283
00:21:34,150 --> 00:21:35,870
Here I am.

284
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,480
Every man in Pune considers
himself royalty!

285
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,680
So rumours about Pune are true.

286
00:21:43,770 --> 00:21:45,020
Your highness,

287
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,980
people of Pune better beware.

288
00:21:48,270 --> 00:21:49,150
Why?

289
00:21:49,230 --> 00:21:51,100
The sounds of spiritual chants

290
00:21:51,190 --> 00:21:54,460
will be replaced by her chiming anklets!

291
00:21:55,990 --> 00:21:58,090
Make way, Shastri is here.

292
00:21:58,380 --> 00:21:59,360
Who arrived?

293
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,770
- Long live Shastri!
- Have come

294
00:22:01,850 --> 00:22:03,900
Long live Shastri!

295
00:22:03,980 --> 00:22:06,480
Long live Shastri!

296
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,270
Long live Shastri!

297
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:10,650
Pant,

298
00:22:11,050 --> 00:22:12,190
what's this?

299
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:13,400
What happened?

300
00:22:13,980 --> 00:22:15,270
Your people

301
00:22:15,350 --> 00:22:17,980
ignore this ravishing beauty

302
00:22:18,430 --> 00:22:20,690
for that ordinary man!

303
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,230
A palanquin is headed that way.

304
00:22:23,310 --> 00:22:24,900
Halt it.

305
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,730
You expect my royal carriage to wait
for an ordinary palanquin to pass!

306
00:22:29,810 --> 00:22:31,520
Long live Shastri!

307
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,150
It's indeed an ordinary palanquin

308
00:22:33,650 --> 00:22:36,010
but the person inside is not.

309
00:22:36,770 --> 00:22:39,850
He's a celebrated scholar
of the Peshwa's court.

310
00:22:39,930 --> 00:22:41,440
Long live Shastri!

311
00:22:43,210 --> 00:22:46,480
The sacred congregation of Kashi has
bestowed him with honour allowing

312
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,290
his palanquin to be led by a torch.

313
00:22:49,570 --> 00:22:53,810
A scholar on many topics from law,
politics, logic to philosophy,

314
00:22:54,010 --> 00:22:56,360
author of many renowned books,

315
00:22:56,430 --> 00:22:58,060
a master of scriptures,

316
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,580
that's Venkatdhwari
Narsinha Shastri for you.

317
00:23:00,660 --> 00:23:01,690
Long live Shastri!

318
00:23:01,770 --> 00:23:04,300
Long live Shastri!

319
00:23:04,380 --> 00:23:06,800
Long live Shastri!

320
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,190
Long live Shastri!

321
00:23:09,270 --> 00:23:11,990
Long live Shastri!

322
00:23:12,070 --> 00:23:14,480
Long live Shastri!

323
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,170
Long live Shastri!

324
00:23:17,250 --> 00:23:19,780
Long live Shastri!

325
00:23:19,860 --> 00:23:22,440
Long live Shastri!

326
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,140
Long live Shastri!

327
00:23:26,340 --> 00:23:27,690
Who cares about his scholastic prowess!

328
00:23:27,770 --> 00:23:29,480
Long live Shastri!

329
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:30,730
Proceed with my chariot.

330
00:23:30,940 --> 00:23:32,150
That's not possible.

331
00:23:32,430 --> 00:23:33,150
Why?

332
00:23:33,230 --> 00:23:36,600
You see, Pune values intellect

333
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,450
over beauty.

334
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,710
Add to that the fact,

335
00:23:43,190 --> 00:23:45,600
Shastri won a huge intellectual contest.

336
00:23:47,350 --> 00:23:48,440
What kind of contest?

337
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,310
A debate on ideas and opinions.

338
00:23:51,650 --> 00:23:55,230
Various scholars discuss their
understanding of scriptures.

339
00:23:56,630 --> 00:23:58,740
If I lose at such a contest,

340
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,090
I will slit my tongue with a sword.

341
00:24:02,590 --> 00:24:04,960
That's the oath he is under.

342
00:24:07,250 --> 00:24:09,990
Long live Shastri!

343
00:24:19,090 --> 00:24:20,050
Come and See.

344
00:24:29,170 --> 00:24:30,100
Wow! Wow!

345
00:24:30,990 --> 00:24:31,900
My Phulla...

346
00:24:38,550 --> 00:24:40,320
Wow! Wow! Wow!

347
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,380
- Wow!
- What a wonderful presentation!

348
00:24:42,730 --> 00:24:45,350
Looks like Pune is rubbing off on her.

349
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,160
Her dance was different today.

350
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,680
Don't jinx it.

351
00:24:50,460 --> 00:24:52,740
It took 10 days to sync with rhythm.

352
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,850
So tell me,

353
00:24:58,170 --> 00:25:00,980
why doesn't Pune value art

354
00:25:01,690 --> 00:25:02,750
as much as intelligence?

355
00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:05,830
I didn't get you.

356
00:25:06,020 --> 00:25:08,770
Is something lacking
in the arrangements made for you?

357
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,350
You halted my chariot
for a meagre Brahman living off alms.

358
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,190
Hence, this question.

359
00:25:23,230 --> 00:25:24,600
It's ben 10 days

360
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,290
but you haven't forgotten
the scholar yet.

361
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:30,770
It's not him,

362
00:25:32,020 --> 00:25:34,010
but the humiliation I haven't forgotten.

363
00:25:35,810 --> 00:25:38,730
Oh c'mon! He didn't humiliate you.

364
00:25:39,070 --> 00:25:40,600
Shastri is a simple man

365
00:25:40,690 --> 00:25:42,170
who goes about his business quietly.

366
00:25:42,980 --> 00:25:44,230
Tell me,

367
00:25:44,310 --> 00:25:47,690
will he be present
in the court during vasant panchami?

368
00:25:48,020 --> 00:25:50,060
Of course, goes without saying.

369
00:25:50,310 --> 00:25:53,100
After his grand victory at the debate,

370
00:25:53,190 --> 00:25:55,600
he will be felicitated in the court.

371
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:01,950
What comes first?
My art or his felicitation?

372
00:26:04,770 --> 00:26:07,310
In Pune, art and intelligence

373
00:26:07,850 --> 00:26:09,240
work hand in hand.

374
00:26:10,230 --> 00:26:11,350
Wow.

375
00:26:12,110 --> 00:26:15,060
Hope you won't ask her
to walk hand in hand with him!

376
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,240
That man is not fortunate enough

377
00:26:21,650 --> 00:26:23,350
to get to hold my hand.

378
00:26:25,590 --> 00:26:29,000
A glimpse of my art is all he gets.

379
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,850
I would like to inform you,

380
00:26:33,890 --> 00:26:37,150
I'm afraid Shastri
won't see your performance.

381
00:26:37,650 --> 00:26:38,940
I mean

382
00:26:39,190 --> 00:26:41,690
I have never seen him
at dance performances.

383
00:26:41,770 --> 00:26:43,990
I thought you should know.

384
00:26:45,790 --> 00:26:46,770
You'll see him this time around.

385
00:26:48,940 --> 00:26:51,310
I've seen many scholars like him

386
00:26:51,930 --> 00:26:53,810
hovering for my attention

387
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,300
no matter where I am.

388
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:00,600
Wait till he comes

389
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,380
and you'll see.

390
00:27:03,260 --> 00:27:05,530
That remains to be seen, Phulla.

391
00:27:06,580 --> 00:27:07,720
In 10 days

392
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:11,650
we haven't stepped out even once.

393
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,620
Panta Chitnis,

394
00:27:25,170 --> 00:27:27,690
show us around Pune.

395
00:27:28,850 --> 00:27:30,180
I'll do that

396
00:27:30,650 --> 00:27:33,040
just keep in your hands in check.

397
00:27:33,470 --> 00:27:34,470
C'mon!

398
00:27:37,180 --> 00:27:38,270
Panta,

399
00:27:41,030 --> 00:27:42,720
can you show us

400
00:27:44,030 --> 00:27:46,020
the place where Mastani danced
in Shaniwar Wada?

401
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,590
I can't say for sure

402
00:27:52,670 --> 00:27:55,550
but I can put in a word to the Peshwa.

403
00:27:57,050 --> 00:27:58,610
It's getting late.

404
00:28:00,190 --> 00:28:03,220
After my morning prayers tomorrow,

405
00:28:04,020 --> 00:28:06,260
I'll arrange for your city tour.

406
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:07,530
Awesome.

407
00:28:07,610 --> 00:28:09,040
Stay away from me.

408
00:28:09,650 --> 00:28:10,620
- Panta,
- Yes.

409
00:28:12,810 --> 00:28:15,740
don't forget about Mastani's spot.

410
00:28:17,100 --> 00:28:18,250
I'll try my best.

411
00:28:20,060 --> 00:28:21,220
Glory be to Lord Shiva.

412
00:29:06,770 --> 00:29:08,420
It hasn't been opened in years.

413
00:29:09,670 --> 00:29:12,520
Mastani was a curse
that cast a dark spell

414
00:29:13,030 --> 00:29:16,710
on the glorious achievements
of the senior Peshwa.

415
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,090
An brave warrior
that remained undefeated

416
00:29:27,650 --> 00:29:30,920
left the world reminiscing Mastani.

417
00:29:37,650 --> 00:29:40,820
That was the magic of her love.

418
00:29:42,700 --> 00:29:45,050
There's nothing magical about
a dancer's love.

419
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,190
I beg your pardon

420
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,580
Mastani wasn't a dancer.

421
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,100
Educated and trained in warfare,

422
00:30:08,580 --> 00:30:10,560
she was the daughter of King Chhatrasaal.

423
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,750
Dance was her passion

424
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:17,860
not profession.

425
00:31:52,650 --> 00:31:53,760
Panta,

426
00:31:55,580 --> 00:31:57,080
why is she dancing by herself?

427
00:32:00,550 --> 00:32:02,300
We can only see her

428
00:32:02,930 --> 00:32:06,110
but she probably envisions
Mastani with her.

429
00:32:22,030 --> 00:32:23,990
- Pants, thank you.
- Huh?

430
00:32:25,250 --> 00:32:28,100
You fulfilled my long awaited dream.

431
00:32:28,260 --> 00:32:30,020
- No big deal
- Oh no!

432
00:32:31,100 --> 00:32:33,130
I will forever remain grateful.

433
00:32:33,210 --> 00:32:36,310
- It was my duty.
- I will never forget you, Panta.

434
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,520
Don't touch me. Stay away.

435
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:39,770
Okay.

436
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,990
Who is he?

437
00:32:46,450 --> 00:32:49,100
He is Nanasaheb Fadnavis.

438
00:32:50,060 --> 00:32:51,150
Oh my!

439
00:32:52,150 --> 00:32:53,370
So he's the one

440
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,940
the nation admires for his wit!

441
00:32:57,270 --> 00:32:58,440
Yes.

442
00:32:58,940 --> 00:33:00,100
Please come.

443
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,020
See you.

444
00:33:03,490 --> 00:33:04,810
This way, Phullwanti.

445
00:33:06,350 --> 00:33:07,130
Tell me...

446
00:33:07,210 --> 00:33:08,230
Yes?

447
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,690
What else does Pune have to offer?

448
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,280
You mean specialities of Pune?

449
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:13,020
There's a lot.

450
00:33:13,100 --> 00:33:14,340
To know this city better,

451
00:33:14,420 --> 00:33:16,440
know its language,
culture and lifestyle in detail.

452
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:21,350
To do that, you should stay with
a typical Pune family.

453
00:33:23,150 --> 00:33:24,570
Family?

454
00:33:26,060 --> 00:33:28,420
Artists aren't blessed to have families.

455
00:33:31,510 --> 00:33:34,730
No matter how we yearn to settle down.

456
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,340
we carry our home on our backs.

457
00:33:43,730 --> 00:33:44,770
Even so,

458
00:33:45,690 --> 00:33:46,900
since you insist,

459
00:33:47,900 --> 00:33:50,020
can you find me such a family?

460
00:33:50,610 --> 00:33:51,660
One family?

461
00:33:52,170 --> 00:33:54,170
Why not?
Forgive me,

462
00:33:54,940 --> 00:33:57,200
it's that man's family who

463
00:33:57,730 --> 00:34:00,480
was the reason your chariot was halted.

464
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,260
That's the only family where

465
00:34:04,340 --> 00:34:07,860
affluence and wisdom dwell in tandem.

466
00:34:08,230 --> 00:34:11,000
Moreover,

467
00:34:11,290 --> 00:34:13,430
it's a rustic home run

468
00:34:13,670 --> 00:34:15,800
by his wife Lakshmi

469
00:34:16,110 --> 00:34:18,090
with great devotion.

470
00:34:28,930 --> 00:34:32,810
"This is the place"

471
00:34:33,340 --> 00:34:37,420
"full of knowledge. "

472
00:34:37,710 --> 00:34:41,790
"My prayers are answered. "

473
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:45,800
"I'm so fortunate. "

474
00:34:46,010 --> 00:34:52,960
"Where there's knowledge,
there's 'Lakshmi' (goddess of wealth). "

475
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:59,100
"She bestows one
with the immense luxuries. "

476
00:35:00,370 --> 00:35:03,170
"May I always envision"

477
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:07,780
"You in my heart!"

478
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:13,050
"Bestow me with
perfection in my skills. "

479
00:35:13,450 --> 00:35:17,600
"Bless me to serve you in this way. "

480
00:35:17,820 --> 00:35:21,930
"O Goddess Saraswati!"

481
00:35:22,140 --> 00:35:25,120
"May I always envision"

482
00:35:26,540 --> 00:35:29,530
"You in my heart!"

483
00:35:30,830 --> 00:35:34,930
"Bestow me with
perfection in my skills. "

484
00:35:35,240 --> 00:35:39,490
"Bless me to serve you in this way. "

485
00:35:39,660 --> 00:35:43,550
"O Goddess Saraswati!"

486
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,140
"O Goddess Saraswati!"

487
00:35:48,350 --> 00:35:53,300
"O Goddess Saraswati!"

488
00:36:09,050 --> 00:36:13,460
"Life is full of experiences.
Extract the best you can. "

489
00:36:13,540 --> 00:36:18,140
"May this journey be pleasant
on a luminous path!"

490
00:36:18,220 --> 00:36:22,040
(Sanskrit)

491
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:26,500
"It is like a paradise to me,
which is one in a million. "

492
00:36:26,580 --> 00:36:28,620
"Your fame abounds in all directions. "

493
00:36:28,700 --> 00:36:31,960
"With folded hands,
I bow down to You for my success. "

494
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,920
"While I add to my virtuous. "

495
00:36:36,380 --> 00:36:40,630
"Bless me to serve you in this way. "

496
00:36:40,700 --> 00:36:44,900
"O Goddess Saraswati!"

497
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,910
"May I always envision"

498
00:36:49,420 --> 00:36:52,570
"You in my heart!"

499
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,790
"Bestow me with
perfection in my skills. "

500
00:36:58,190 --> 00:37:02,310
"Bless me to serve you in this way. "

501
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,700
"O Goddess Saraswati!"

502
00:37:06,910 --> 00:37:11,150
"O Goddess Saraswati!"

503
00:37:11,310 --> 00:37:16,710
"O Goddess Saraswati!"

504
00:37:19,050 --> 00:37:23,550
"O Goddess Saraswati!"

505
00:37:23,630 --> 00:37:27,580
"I bow down to You. "

506
00:37:27,770 --> 00:37:31,980
"Always... "

507
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:37,750
"While doing all my activities. "

508
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,340
And that day rose,

509
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,000
which Phullwanti awaited eagerly.

510
00:37:45,470 --> 00:37:49,260
She was going to perform in Shaniwar Wada.

511
00:37:49,340 --> 00:37:50,570
Long live Shastri!

512
00:37:50,650 --> 00:37:52,150
Shastri,

513
00:37:52,810 --> 00:37:55,770
you won a huge debate on scriptures

514
00:37:55,860 --> 00:37:58,240
and upheld the beacon of religion.

515
00:37:59,310 --> 00:38:01,060
You made this court proud.

516
00:38:01,140 --> 00:38:03,600
Long live Shastri!

517
00:38:03,690 --> 00:38:06,520
Long live Shastri!

518
00:38:07,700 --> 00:38:08,940
Please have a seat.

519
00:38:10,590 --> 00:38:12,680
I am not interested
in a dance performance.

520
00:38:14,620 --> 00:38:16,260
I came here to show my respect.

521
00:38:17,390 --> 00:38:18,640
I'll take your leave now.

522
00:38:19,650 --> 00:38:20,800
Allow me.

523
00:38:21,050 --> 00:38:22,220
Shastri,

524
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,510
a celebrated artist is here today

525
00:38:25,140 --> 00:38:27,140
to showcase her talent.

526
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,640
I have no knowledge of these things.

527
00:38:31,140 --> 00:38:33,270
I have no business being here.

528
00:38:35,490 --> 00:38:38,340
It's not like she'll offer prayers

529
00:38:39,130 --> 00:38:40,760
or recite the scriptures
on this auspicious day.

530
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:46,140
"Goddess Sharada"

531
00:38:46,300 --> 00:38:50,840
" Sharada, with a face like the lotus"

532
00:38:50,930 --> 00:38:53,930
"of the sharad season (winter), "

533
00:38:54,090 --> 00:38:57,800
"with two eyes, like the lotuses, "

534
00:38:58,180 --> 00:39:00,720
"forever O bestower of all things"

535
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:05,590
"bless us with prosperity "

536
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,270
"grace"

537
00:39:08,350 --> 00:39:14,470
"and your proximity. "

538
00:39:16,430 --> 00:39:17,430
Wow.

539
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,980
"Such a dainty woman with great looks"

540
00:39:53,070 --> 00:39:55,070
"A beauty with a great body"

541
00:39:55,150 --> 00:39:56,900
"O beloved woman!"

542
00:40:00,170 --> 00:40:02,310
"This is some magic"

543
00:40:02,390 --> 00:40:04,360
"that casts an everlasting spell"

544
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,180
"A dagger with looks to kill"

545
00:40:09,780 --> 00:40:12,690
"She has the fury of lightning"

546
00:40:13,240 --> 00:40:16,730
"She's blessed with the wealth of youth"

547
00:40:17,210 --> 00:40:20,950
"She's a star that steals hearts"

548
00:40:21,020 --> 00:40:24,110
"She's brilliant, one of a kind"

549
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,030
"I am a melodious beauty"

550
00:40:35,110 --> 00:40:38,570
"People can't take their eyes off me"

551
00:40:38,650 --> 00:40:42,320
"I am an empty slate,
a ravishing damsel"

552
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:46,740
"I adorn flowers in my hair, darling"

553
00:40:47,190 --> 00:40:52,570
"Oh king, take a look at me'

554
00:40:52,650 --> 00:40:55,490
"I am a seductive enchantress"

555
00:40:55,570 --> 00:40:57,400
"bewitching"

556
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,690
"oozing with beauty"

557
00:40:59,780 --> 00:41:02,690
"I am a seductive enchantress"

558
00:41:02,780 --> 00:41:04,650
"resplendent like the moon"

559
00:41:04,730 --> 00:41:07,530
"brightening up the skies"

560
00:41:07,730 --> 00:41:11,320
"She's a sweet darling"

561
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,820
"People go crazy over her"

562
00:41:14,900 --> 00:41:18,570
"She's a sweet darling"

563
00:41:18,650 --> 00:41:22,980
"People go crazy over her"

564
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,200
"I am a seductive enchantress"

565
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,110
"bewitching"

566
00:41:28,190 --> 00:41:30,400
"oozing with beauty"

567
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,360
"I am a seductive enchantress"

568
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,320
"resplendent like the moon"

569
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:39,150
"brightening up the skies"

570
00:42:07,150 --> 00:42:09,360
"Can't trust"

571
00:42:10,900 --> 00:42:13,730
"the heart's beckoning"

572
00:42:13,820 --> 00:42:19,820
"You hold my hand
and light up a fire within"

573
00:42:19,900 --> 00:42:22,780
"I somehow"

574
00:42:22,860 --> 00:42:28,610
"controlled myself, O king"

575
00:42:28,780 --> 00:42:30,650
"This is a craze"

576
00:42:30,730 --> 00:42:32,530
"brought about by my anklets"

577
00:42:32,610 --> 00:42:35,980
"I am showered with gold"

578
00:42:36,070 --> 00:42:37,860
"My enigmatic eyes"

579
00:42:37,940 --> 00:42:39,690
"make hearts go bonkers"

580
00:42:39,780 --> 00:42:44,320
"It settles deep within your mind,
darling"

581
00:42:44,570 --> 00:42:47,150
"You... Not you"

582
00:42:47,230 --> 00:42:48,940
"Take"

583
00:42:49,030 --> 00:42:52,530
"Take a look at me"

584
00:42:52,610 --> 00:42:55,400
"I am a seductive enchantress"

585
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,440
"bewitching"

586
00:42:57,530 --> 00:42:59,690
"oozing with beauty"

587
00:42:59,780 --> 00:43:02,690
"I am a seductive enchantress"

588
00:43:02,770 --> 00:43:04,650
"resplendent like the moon"

589
00:43:04,730 --> 00:43:07,530
"brightening up the skies"

590
00:43:07,610 --> 00:43:11,730
"Her cheeks are red with cuteness"

591
00:43:11,820 --> 00:43:15,820
"She's lovingly called her Phullwanti"

592
00:43:16,070 --> 00:43:18,900
"I am a seductive enchantress"

593
00:43:18,980 --> 00:43:20,900
"bewitching"

594
00:43:20,980 --> 00:43:23,230
"like a butterfly"

595
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,110
"I am a seductive enchantress"

596
00:43:26,190 --> 00:43:27,940
"resplendent like the moon"

597
00:43:28,030 --> 00:43:31,820
"brightening up the skies"

598
00:43:47,470 --> 00:43:50,250
"The world loses its mind over
my beauty"

599
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,070
"People swoon over me"

600
00:43:52,150 --> 00:43:56,030
"Whose name should I reveal?"

601
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,280
"Mesmerised by my style"

602
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,070
"they forget day and night"

603
00:44:01,150 --> 00:44:05,400
"Even the strongest
of men can't resist me"

604
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,480
"Even so a guest"

605
00:44:08,570 --> 00:44:12,480
"won't even look at me"

606
00:44:12,570 --> 00:44:15,530
"He got my attention"

607
00:44:15,610 --> 00:44:19,820
"now what trick should I resort to?"

608
00:44:19,900 --> 00:44:21,860
"Let me tell you"

609
00:44:21,940 --> 00:44:23,480
"I don't care a damn"

610
00:44:23,570 --> 00:44:26,980
"and yet I bow down to you"

611
00:44:27,070 --> 00:44:28,860
"I am unmatched"

612
00:44:28,940 --> 00:44:30,570
"and so is my grace"

613
00:44:30,650 --> 00:44:35,070
"My pricey ways are well worth it all,
darling"

614
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:36,730
"O man with a turban!"

615
00:44:37,070 --> 00:44:38,860
"Yes, you!"

616
00:44:39,150 --> 00:44:40,860
"Just take"

617
00:44:40,940 --> 00:44:44,400
"Just take a look at me"

618
00:44:44,530 --> 00:44:47,320
'"She's a seductive enchantress"

619
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,360
"Bewitching"

620
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,610
"like a butterfly"

621
00:44:51,690 --> 00:44:54,320
"She's a seductive enchantress"

622
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,570
"resplendent as the moon"

623
00:44:56,650 --> 00:45:00,530
"brightening up the skies"

624
00:45:32,010 --> 00:45:33,660
I take your leave, your highness.

625
00:45:47,020 --> 00:45:49,060
That was awesome!

626
00:45:49,270 --> 00:45:51,810
That was impressive dance!

627
00:45:52,350 --> 00:45:54,730
To honour your talent,

628
00:45:54,810 --> 00:45:56,690
you can ask for anything you like.

629
00:45:56,980 --> 00:45:58,310
Ornaments,

630
00:45:58,390 --> 00:46:01,560
gold coins, expensive clothes,
anything at all.

631
00:46:03,940 --> 00:46:05,940
I want nothing of that.

632
00:46:09,530 --> 00:46:11,690
If there's something else you'd like,

633
00:46:12,240 --> 00:46:13,940
just say it.

634
00:46:14,730 --> 00:46:17,440
You shall have it.
That's a Peshwa's word.

635
00:46:19,100 --> 00:46:20,350
Say it.

636
00:46:21,060 --> 00:46:22,560
What do you want?

637
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,560
I want justice.

638
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,730
I want justice to avenge
my humiliation in this court,

639
00:46:30,390 --> 00:46:32,190
said Draupadi.

640
00:46:33,810 --> 00:46:35,940
She was mighty angry.

641
00:46:36,890 --> 00:46:41,440
She wouldn't back down unless avenged.

642
00:46:43,020 --> 00:46:44,850
She took a vow.

643
00:46:45,310 --> 00:46:48,810
Dushasan had dragged her by her hair.

644
00:46:48,890 --> 00:46:51,310
Until she'd bathe in his blood,

645
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,850
she wouldn't tie her hair.

646
00:47:00,790 --> 00:47:02,350
Aunty!

647
00:47:03,380 --> 00:47:05,730
What did she say next?

648
00:47:05,810 --> 00:47:07,940
I seek justice, your highness.

649
00:47:09,820 --> 00:47:12,110
It wasn't just me

650
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,030
but my art was insulted too.

651
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,610
Phullwanti,
do you realise who you're accusing?

652
00:47:20,330 --> 00:47:22,360
He's an unmatched scholar on scriptures.

653
00:47:23,690 --> 00:47:25,740
We revere him.

654
00:47:26,780 --> 00:47:29,490
He gets all my attention even if I'm busy.

655
00:47:30,660 --> 00:47:33,460
He's an expert at judiciary and religion.

656
00:47:33,530 --> 00:47:35,650
That's Venkatadhwari
Narsingh Shastri for you.

657
00:47:37,070 --> 00:47:38,360
Scholar?

658
00:47:39,660 --> 00:47:42,370
In that case, how could he speak ill of me

659
00:47:42,450 --> 00:47:44,860
while I was performing?

660
00:47:45,530 --> 00:47:46,900
Nice performance.

661
00:47:47,450 --> 00:47:48,820
Good dancing.

662
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:50,150
Take it.

663
00:47:51,110 --> 00:47:55,450
This was the first time you attended
a dance performance.

664
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,070
I'm sure it was worth it.

665
00:48:04,820 --> 00:48:06,030
Here.

666
00:48:11,990 --> 00:48:13,030
Yes, Vithoba?

667
00:48:14,950 --> 00:48:16,400
Panta Chitnis is here.

668
00:48:16,780 --> 00:48:19,450
You've been beckoned
at the court right away.

669
00:48:20,790 --> 00:48:22,150
I'll be there.

670
00:48:22,650 --> 00:48:23,760
Okay.

671
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:29,980
Right away?

672
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:34,940
What's the matter?

673
00:48:35,140 --> 00:48:38,270
In a court filled with people,
Shastri called me

674
00:48:39,850 --> 00:48:41,640
an arrhythmic whore.

675
00:48:52,790 --> 00:48:54,310
- What are you doing?
- Panta!

676
00:48:58,770 --> 00:49:00,660
Panta! Calm down. Sit.

677
00:49:01,940 --> 00:49:04,400
If you're proved wrong,

678
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:09,200
you will be punished harshly.
Hope you know that.

679
00:49:10,770 --> 00:49:12,330
Shastri is here.

680
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:23,580
Your highness.

681
00:49:24,870 --> 00:49:26,870
If I'm lying,

682
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,540
you may slit my tongue with his sword.

683
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,700
Ask your religious scholar

684
00:49:35,780 --> 00:49:39,160
whether or not he called me
an arrhythmic whore.

685
00:49:39,940 --> 00:49:42,240
That's absolutely unnecessary.

686
00:49:43,950 --> 00:49:45,740
He can never say that.

687
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,410
Madam,

688
00:49:48,790 --> 00:49:50,450
please collect your remuneration

689
00:49:50,780 --> 00:49:52,620
and leave right away.

690
00:49:52,700 --> 00:49:54,740
Your allegations on a revered scholar

691
00:49:54,830 --> 00:49:56,910
is maligning his character.

692
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:58,170
Nanasaheb!

693
00:49:59,830 --> 00:50:02,330
Strange you're saying that!

694
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,580
He whispered those words in your ears!

695
00:50:06,750 --> 00:50:09,090
Nanasaheb, is that true?

696
00:50:09,330 --> 00:50:12,790
I don't remember him saying that.

697
00:50:15,730 --> 00:50:19,570
If at all he did say that,

698
00:50:19,790 --> 00:50:22,120
why bring it up now?

699
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:26,870
What do you expect of a dancer
entertaining the emperor of Delhi?

700
00:50:26,950 --> 00:50:29,540
She's here to malign the Hindu empire!

701
00:50:29,620 --> 00:50:32,020
This Hindu empire belonged
to my revered King.

702
00:50:36,630 --> 00:50:40,540
Women were respected under his rule.

703
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,660
Will you uphold his style of justice?

704
00:50:46,390 --> 00:50:47,180
This court...

705
00:50:47,260 --> 00:50:49,240
Mind your tongue, woman!

706
00:50:50,270 --> 00:50:52,830
The whole nation looks up to

707
00:50:52,910 --> 00:50:55,540
the justice meted out in this court.

708
00:50:56,730 --> 00:50:58,410
What are you waiting for, Nana?

709
00:50:58,500 --> 00:51:00,510
Before she created any more drama,

710
00:51:00,580 --> 00:51:02,290
throw this woman out of here.

711
00:51:02,370 --> 00:51:05,380
Yes, throw her out.

712
00:51:05,470 --> 00:51:07,530
Throw her out.

713
00:51:16,420 --> 00:51:19,070
Yes, throw her out.

714
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,380
I did say the words she's accusing me of,
Nanasaheb.

715
00:51:29,660 --> 00:51:31,080
Doesn't matter what you said,

716
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,910
the reputation of this court does.

717
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,430
The truth is more important

718
00:51:37,700 --> 00:51:39,950
than my reputation here.

719
00:51:46,540 --> 00:51:48,450
This woman is telling the truth,
your highness.

720
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:50,790
What?!

721
00:51:53,970 --> 00:51:57,550
I did whisper those words to Nanasaheb.

722
00:51:57,830 --> 00:52:00,370
'I don't like her but she's an artist. '

723
00:52:00,620 --> 00:52:02,040
'Unbaked earthen pot. '

724
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:04,450
'She's no artist. '

725
00:52:05,450 --> 00:52:08,160
'That arrhythmic whore
has no sense of art. '

726
00:52:08,370 --> 00:52:09,990
Why are you accepting the allegation?

727
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,870
I can't believe you'd say such a thing.

728
00:52:12,950 --> 00:52:16,700
I did whisper those words to Nanasaheb.

729
00:52:17,500 --> 00:52:20,050
I could barely understand what was said

730
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,290
given all the noise all around.

731
00:52:22,370 --> 00:52:25,840
Play music softly hereafter.

732
00:52:30,710 --> 00:52:32,290
Forgive me, madam.

733
00:52:33,020 --> 00:52:34,370
I was wrong.

734
00:52:38,290 --> 00:52:39,800
I take your leave, your highness.

735
00:52:44,580 --> 00:52:45,910
Stop!

736
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,040
You can't just leave
after admitting your fault.

737
00:52:54,020 --> 00:52:55,490
What you did wasn't a mistake

738
00:52:57,620 --> 00:52:59,660
but a sin!

739
00:53:00,790 --> 00:53:02,240
He was unjust to me.

740
00:53:03,660 --> 00:53:07,410
If he found faults in my skills,
he should've said so.

741
00:53:09,700 --> 00:53:11,950
I'd have undergone any test or trial.

742
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,070
But you didn't ask for a test.

743
00:53:18,580 --> 00:53:20,160
You made a decision.

744
00:53:23,250 --> 00:53:25,050
You called me a whore.

745
00:53:27,500 --> 00:53:32,230
No man has dared to touch
Phullwanti's body!

746
00:53:34,210 --> 00:53:40,580
An artist hailing from a long line
of musical heritage

747
00:53:40,940 --> 00:53:43,330
was called a whore by the scholar!

748
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,210
What does he understand about music.

749
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:49,740
I seek justice.

750
00:53:51,430 --> 00:53:54,040
You shall get justice, Phullwanti.

751
00:53:58,910 --> 00:54:00,990
Today is the day we worship
the goddess of knowledge.

752
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,460
A disciple of art form
was humiliated today.

753
00:54:04,870 --> 00:54:07,700
It's a matter of great shame.

754
00:54:09,540 --> 00:54:13,120
This court truly regrets this tragedy.

755
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:16,950
Tell you what you seek.

756
00:54:17,710 --> 00:54:19,660
What kind of justice do you want?

757
00:54:22,950 --> 00:54:24,080
An appeal.

758
00:54:28,540 --> 00:54:30,990
My anklets and music

759
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,540
are like body and soul.

760
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:41,450
He insulted me by calling me arrhythmic.

761
00:54:44,870 --> 00:54:47,990
I swear on my broken anklets

762
00:54:51,180 --> 00:54:55,290
and challenge your scholar
in public presence.

763
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:01,290
My skills were insulted in this court.

764
00:55:02,710 --> 00:55:05,210
I call for a test of my talent
in this very court.

765
00:55:11,030 --> 00:55:13,370
I shall dance for a period of time.

766
00:55:14,770 --> 00:55:17,450
During that period,

767
00:55:18,100 --> 00:55:19,700
if I make even one mistake,

768
00:55:21,690 --> 00:55:24,970
I shall fall at his feet
and beg for forgiveness.

769
00:55:27,900 --> 00:55:31,570
Nanasaheb,
you couldn't hear clearly earlier.

770
00:55:33,270 --> 00:55:34,790
Listen up now.

771
00:55:35,830 --> 00:55:39,580
If I make two mistakes while I dance,

772
00:55:40,550 --> 00:55:43,550
Phullwanti will quit dancing.

773
00:56:01,370 --> 00:56:06,220
If I make three mistakes in that duration,

774
00:56:08,110 --> 00:56:11,260
I shall be his slave for life.

775
00:56:11,410 --> 00:56:14,130
What is she saying?

776
00:56:16,050 --> 00:56:17,020
Stop!

777
00:56:19,290 --> 00:56:20,370
Madam,

778
00:56:21,020 --> 00:56:22,420
calm down.

779
00:56:24,380 --> 00:56:25,830
You're seething with rage.

780
00:56:26,090 --> 00:56:29,590
Do you realise what you're asking for?

781
00:56:32,860 --> 00:56:35,800
Deaf people mustn't be part
of discussions.

782
00:56:36,590 --> 00:56:38,070
Don't you know that?

783
00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:44,160
- Your highness...
- Nanasaheb,

784
00:56:45,570 --> 00:56:46,990
please take your seat.

785
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:49,810
Let her finish.

786
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:52,840
Go on.

787
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:54,150
Nanasaheb,

788
00:56:55,830 --> 00:56:57,390
this isn't a test for me

789
00:56:58,710 --> 00:57:01,230
but for your revered scholar.

790
00:57:03,870 --> 00:57:09,010
All those hard of hearing,
listen to me carefully.

791
00:57:12,660 --> 00:57:17,620
If I don't make a single mistake
while I dance,

792
00:57:20,010 --> 00:57:22,880
I'll make this scholar wear my anklets

793
00:57:22,950 --> 00:57:26,150
and parade him like an animal
all through this city.

794
00:57:26,230 --> 00:57:28,520
What are you saying, woman!

795
00:57:28,610 --> 00:57:30,170
Stop!

796
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:32,930
Stop!

797
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:34,650
Why are you listening to this?

798
00:57:34,730 --> 00:57:36,200
Calm down.

799
00:57:37,380 --> 00:57:38,750
Calm down.

800
00:57:39,430 --> 00:57:40,790
Shastri,

801
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,770
you admitted to your crime.

802
00:57:45,850 --> 00:57:48,130
You deserve punishment.

803
00:57:50,010 --> 00:57:52,460
Do you agree to her conditions?

804
00:58:04,370 --> 00:58:05,690
I do.

805
00:58:09,350 --> 00:58:11,470
I have a request though.

806
00:58:13,770 --> 00:58:16,060
I shall play the instrument
while she dances.

807
00:58:17,550 --> 00:58:18,870
- What?
- But...

808
00:58:18,950 --> 00:58:21,890
Why invite trouble?

809
00:58:22,060 --> 00:58:23,870
Have you ever played an instrument?

810
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:25,560
Arguing is easy

811
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:27,210
playing a musical instrument is not.

812
00:58:27,290 --> 00:58:29,550
Have you even seen such an instrument?

813
00:58:29,630 --> 00:58:30,690
Hold on.

814
00:58:30,770 --> 00:58:32,630
Nanasaheb! What is she saying?

815
00:58:33,220 --> 00:58:35,190
Go on and ruin the court's honour.

816
00:58:38,710 --> 00:58:40,060
I am ready, your highness.

817
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:43,330
So am I.

818
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:48,950
I didn't just say arrhythmic whore.

819
00:58:51,090 --> 00:58:54,060
I called you an unbaked earthen pot.

820
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:00,340
I am ready for the challenge.

821
00:59:02,300 --> 00:59:03,520
Are you?

822
00:59:05,490 --> 00:59:07,660
Take a good look at the anklets.

823
00:59:09,700 --> 00:59:11,750
You'll wear them pretty soon.

824
00:59:15,510 --> 00:59:17,540
I accept your challenge.

825
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,050
(Sanskrit chant)

826
00:59:31,140 --> 00:59:33,510
(Sanskrit chant)

827
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,140
(Sanskrit chant)

828
00:59:36,220 --> 00:59:38,930
(Sanskrit chant)

829
00:59:39,310 --> 00:59:40,400
Very good.

830
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:45,150
Pandavs and Kauravs gathered
on the battlefield.

831
00:59:46,150 --> 00:59:49,800
From the Kauravs' side,
the indomitable Bhishma

832
00:59:50,060 --> 00:59:53,140
blew the conch with a roaring sound

833
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,150
declaring the start of the war.

834
00:59:57,020 --> 01:00:00,030
Duryodhan was mighty pleased.

835
01:00:00,660 --> 01:00:04,290
Aunt, why did Krishna narrate
the Geeta only to Arjun

836
01:00:04,460 --> 01:00:05,880
and not to Duryodhan?

837
01:00:07,850 --> 01:00:10,510
Because Duryodhan was arrogant.

838
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,220
Arrogance kills reasoning.

839
01:00:15,180 --> 01:00:16,930
A man devoid of reason

840
01:00:17,010 --> 01:00:20,000
can't see sense in anything

841
01:00:20,450 --> 01:00:22,600
even if god explains things!

842
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:24,260
Understood?

843
01:00:24,890 --> 01:00:27,050
This just doesn't make sense.

844
01:00:27,220 --> 01:00:30,350
Why did you insist
on playing the instrument?

845
01:00:34,980 --> 01:00:36,430
Lakshmi, take the kids inside.

846
01:00:37,100 --> 01:00:40,320
Draupadi's story of revenge
just got interesting.

847
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:43,610
Krishna was about
to declare the start of the war

848
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:45,060
and you arrived!

849
01:00:45,230 --> 01:00:48,680
Enjoy the story while I get you water.

850
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:50,390
Go inside.

851
01:00:53,100 --> 01:00:54,350
Calm down.

852
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:55,890
Calm down, Shastri.

853
01:00:56,100 --> 01:00:57,390
What calm down!

854
01:00:57,770 --> 01:00:59,470
He's set to face hell's fury.

855
01:01:01,180 --> 01:01:02,430
Shastri,

856
01:01:02,810 --> 01:01:06,060
the Peshwa's wife called her
a patron of art

857
01:01:06,830 --> 01:01:08,770
and you called her a whore!

858
01:01:09,700 --> 01:01:12,470
You landed yourself in a soup.

859
01:01:12,860 --> 01:01:14,770
Just think, Shastri,

860
01:01:15,060 --> 01:01:17,680
if she wins this challenge,

861
01:01:17,890 --> 01:01:20,190
you shall bring shame
to religious authorities.

862
01:01:20,270 --> 01:01:21,850
No ifs and buts,

863
01:01:21,930 --> 01:01:24,850
that dancer won't skip a beat.

864
01:01:25,180 --> 01:01:27,150
The audacity of that woman!

865
01:01:27,230 --> 01:01:29,430
Felt like slitting her tongue.

866
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:30,810
Subedar!

867
01:01:31,390 --> 01:01:34,600
She's no ordinary dancer.

868
01:01:35,250 --> 01:01:38,850
She's a disciple of the renowned
dance guru Meenakshidevi.

869
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,310
She has the emperor's protection.

870
01:01:43,020 --> 01:01:46,520
The whole nation is a fan of her art.

871
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,430
How do you expect her to lose?

872
01:01:50,770 --> 01:01:52,200
She would've lost for one...

873
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:53,430
Nana!

874
01:01:57,330 --> 01:01:58,690
She would've lost

875
01:02:00,140 --> 01:02:02,220
but distress beckons calamity.

876
01:02:03,980 --> 01:02:05,360
It's okay.

877
01:02:06,030 --> 01:02:09,060
You defied good sense
and called for trouble.

878
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:16,640
Why did you insist
on playing the instrument?

879
01:02:17,390 --> 01:02:19,310
This is not befitting your prowess.

880
01:02:19,390 --> 01:02:21,390
It is not.

881
01:02:24,890 --> 01:02:28,390
You're leaving for Prayag in 4 days.

882
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:33,310
The biggest religious gathering
will be held there.

883
01:02:36,470 --> 01:02:37,810
And this challenge?

884
01:02:38,670 --> 01:02:39,760
Shastri...

885
01:02:40,100 --> 01:02:41,960
Leave that to us.

886
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:46,050
Panta will try to dissuade her.

887
01:02:46,870 --> 01:02:49,010
Me? How...

888
01:02:49,780 --> 01:02:51,340
If you fail,

889
01:02:51,810 --> 01:02:55,300
do everything within
and beyond your means to stop this.

890
01:02:55,470 --> 01:02:57,060
Nana, she's an artist.

891
01:02:57,130 --> 01:02:58,380
You will leave tomorrow.

892
01:02:59,340 --> 01:03:00,330
I won't.

893
01:03:03,220 --> 01:03:04,990
She will dance to my music.

894
01:03:05,060 --> 01:03:07,550
Nobody can change that.

895
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:12,050
- Shastri, heed Nanasaheb...
- If you lose, you shall be

896
01:03:12,630 --> 01:03:15,840
paraded like an animal
with anklets in your feet.

897
01:03:16,050 --> 01:03:17,210
So be it.

898
01:03:20,940 --> 01:03:24,630
If that's my fate, nobody can change it.

899
01:03:27,140 --> 01:03:28,210
Please leave.

900
01:03:28,300 --> 01:03:30,590
(Sanskrit chant)

901
01:03:30,670 --> 01:03:33,090
Misfortune blurs the mind.

902
01:03:34,190 --> 01:03:36,970
What are you waiting for?

903
01:03:37,450 --> 01:03:38,230
Let's go.

904
01:03:38,310 --> 01:03:39,360
Let's go. Let's go.

905
01:03:58,130 --> 01:03:59,420
Fastened the anklet?

906
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:01,380
Forget the anklet,

907
01:04:01,470 --> 01:04:03,100
you're badly injured.

908
01:04:05,170 --> 01:04:06,500
This is nothing

909
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:09,630
compared to my aching heart.

910
01:04:12,690 --> 01:04:13,960
Baija!

911
01:04:14,420 --> 01:04:15,880
Play the instrument.

912
01:04:16,690 --> 01:04:17,540
Now at this time.

913
01:04:18,380 --> 01:04:19,800
After what happened today,

914
01:04:20,340 --> 01:04:22,880
was beneath the glory of Pune.

915
01:04:23,380 --> 01:04:25,460
How dare they!

916
01:04:27,130 --> 01:04:28,420
Phullwanti,

917
01:04:29,380 --> 01:04:31,210
don't take it heart.

918
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:38,840
A woman's grief is barely
ever understood by men.

919
01:04:41,170 --> 01:04:44,170
So don't bother placating me.

920
01:04:47,010 --> 01:04:48,260
Baija,

921
01:04:49,410 --> 01:04:51,460
play the instrument.

922
01:04:52,970 --> 01:04:54,170
Phulla,

923
01:04:54,510 --> 01:04:56,420
what's happened has happened.

924
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:02,890
What did you say?

925
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:05,890
What's done is done.

926
01:05:05,970 --> 01:05:07,940
We'll leave this village right away.

927
01:05:10,910 --> 01:05:12,160
- Phulla.
- What is this?

928
01:05:17,870 --> 01:05:19,770
Start playing the instruments.

929
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:31,770
I don't care if your fingers

930
01:05:32,940 --> 01:05:34,940
and my toes are smeared in blood

931
01:05:36,650 --> 01:05:38,570
but you won't stop playing.

932
01:05:41,230 --> 01:05:43,590
Until I make that man wear my anklets

933
01:05:43,670 --> 01:05:46,640
and parade him like an animal,

934
01:05:47,980 --> 01:05:52,940
I should hear music echoing here.

935
01:06:44,350 --> 01:06:46,010
She had flaming eyes.

936
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:49,490
Not just that,

937
01:06:52,460 --> 01:06:54,000
those were flames of vengeance.

938
01:06:55,700 --> 01:06:59,240
How could a sorted man
like Shastri goof up?

939
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:02,200
But he did!

940
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:09,830
He admitted it in the court.

941
01:07:11,990 --> 01:07:13,910
On the occasion
of Goddess Saraswati's veneration,

942
01:07:13,990 --> 01:07:17,700
it was beneath his dignified self
to insult a woman.

943
01:07:17,790 --> 01:07:19,090
Exactly!

944
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:22,780
Extreme scenario.

945
01:07:25,910 --> 01:07:27,370
I can't believe

946
01:07:27,450 --> 01:07:30,280
Shastri would blurt out
something without reason.

947
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:32,530
I am sure

948
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:35,710
there is a reason behind this.

949
01:07:40,620 --> 01:07:42,330
You like Shastri.

950
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,120
Are you being biased towards him?

951
01:07:47,450 --> 01:07:49,410
Acquaintance doesn't matter.

952
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:55,830
Peshwas do justice based on truth.

953
01:07:58,870 --> 01:08:02,080
But this Peshwa
won't be judging this contest.

954
01:08:03,990 --> 01:08:06,450
Everything depends on her dance

955
01:08:07,450 --> 01:08:09,780
and Shastri's musical instrument.

956
01:09:09,690 --> 01:09:10,720
Phulla.

957
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:12,530
- She fall down.
- Phulla. What happened?

958
01:09:12,740 --> 01:09:13,790
What happened?

959
01:09:15,650 --> 01:09:16,750
Meenakshi sister.

960
01:09:21,110 --> 01:09:22,350
Gurumai.

961
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:24,530
Gurumai.

962
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:26,090
Bless you.

963
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:27,220
Gurumai.

964
01:09:38,910 --> 01:09:43,330
Phulla was insulted at the Peshwa's court
during Vasant Panchami.

965
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,280
A priest called her...

966
01:09:54,290 --> 01:09:55,740
I know.

967
01:10:01,830 --> 01:10:04,620
That scholar didn't just insult Phullwanti

968
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:11,620
but every woman who reveres dance.

969
01:10:20,790 --> 01:10:24,530
The chimes of our anklets
won't let him sleep peacefully.

970
01:10:25,300 --> 01:10:28,240
(Sanskrit chant)

971
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:30,990
(Sanskrit chant)

972
01:10:31,070 --> 01:10:34,900
(Sanskrit chant)

973
01:10:35,100 --> 01:10:39,530
(Sanskrit chant)

974
01:10:39,700 --> 01:10:41,640
(Sanskrit chant)

975
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:44,450
(Sanskrit chant)

976
01:10:44,530 --> 01:10:49,440
(Sanskrit chant)

977
01:10:49,660 --> 01:10:53,830
You'd better pray more these days.

978
01:10:54,830 --> 01:10:56,500
Or that woman

979
01:10:56,580 --> 01:10:59,740
will enter your home in no time.

980
01:11:26,300 --> 01:11:29,430
(Sanskrit chant)

981
01:11:30,670 --> 01:11:33,660
(Sanskrit chant)

982
01:11:51,910 --> 01:11:53,450
There's very little time.

983
01:11:54,910 --> 01:11:56,240
Start preparing.

984
01:12:17,830 --> 01:12:18,780
My turn?

985
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:20,030
Go on.

986
01:12:20,290 --> 01:12:22,040
Your scholar

987
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:24,780
will be paraded wearing anklets!

988
01:12:26,830 --> 01:12:27,950
Rubbish!

989
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:30,330
Tall claims.

990
01:12:30,470 --> 01:12:31,830
Big deal.

991
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:34,380
That Phullwanti

992
01:12:34,740 --> 01:12:38,620
will be Shastri's maid.

993
01:12:39,870 --> 01:12:41,490
Don't laugh or I'll thrash you.

994
01:12:41,580 --> 01:12:43,030
- My turn.
- Play.

995
01:12:44,410 --> 01:12:45,450
Pick one,

996
01:12:46,870 --> 01:12:48,450
woman or anklets?

997
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:52,330
I'll bash you.

998
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:54,160
Pick one.

999
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:56,200
The women with anklets

1000
01:12:57,040 --> 01:13:00,620
in the scholar's house!

1001
01:13:04,310 --> 01:13:06,160
Where is he?

1002
01:13:09,740 --> 01:13:12,330
Where is that famous scholar?

1003
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:16,920
Back off!

1004
01:13:21,630 --> 01:13:23,920
Wretched scholar,

1005
01:13:24,220 --> 01:13:25,870
come out!

1006
01:13:34,370 --> 01:13:35,390
Hello!

1007
01:13:36,190 --> 01:13:39,430
May you be blessed with abundance.

1008
01:13:44,130 --> 01:13:45,440
Wow!

1009
01:13:46,030 --> 01:13:47,250
Wow!

1010
01:13:48,670 --> 01:13:51,940
What a spectacle I witness today!

1011
01:13:52,830 --> 01:13:56,150
A Brahmin priest, scholar of scriptures,

1012
01:13:56,260 --> 01:13:59,760
will now don a musical instrument

1013
01:13:59,890 --> 01:14:03,010
entertaining people from door to door.

1014
01:14:09,020 --> 01:14:10,300
Don't you dare!

1015
01:14:17,790 --> 01:14:19,340
Calm down, Acharya.

1016
01:14:20,430 --> 01:14:21,890
I'll get you milk.

1017
01:14:21,970 --> 01:14:24,680
Have I come here for that?

1018
01:14:28,510 --> 01:14:30,140
You tell me.

1019
01:14:30,690 --> 01:14:34,760
Weren't there enough scholars
in Pune to compete with

1020
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:38,810
that you chose to berate a dancer?

1021
01:14:41,260 --> 01:14:43,390
It's Friday, Acharya.

1022
01:14:44,260 --> 01:14:46,970
My temper has to follow the calendar?

1023
01:14:47,930 --> 01:14:51,340
No,
I mean you shouldn't refuse milk today.

1024
01:14:52,220 --> 01:14:53,590
I'll be back.

1025
01:14:54,770 --> 01:14:56,720
Learn from her.

1026
01:14:56,970 --> 01:15:00,970
She has better sense of good manners.

1027
01:15:02,260 --> 01:15:04,890
How could you stoop so low?

1028
01:15:06,300 --> 01:15:10,140
You're an expert in your field.

1029
01:15:10,430 --> 01:15:12,640
Likewise that dancer

1030
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:15,720
would be an expert in her field!

1031
01:15:16,730 --> 01:15:17,650
Here.

1032
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:19,690
Acharya!

1033
01:15:24,030 --> 01:15:25,500
Give it.

1034
01:15:33,350 --> 01:15:34,600
Will you utter something

1035
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:37,390
or stand there staring at nothing?

1036
01:15:39,340 --> 01:15:41,430
Those words fell out of my mouth.

1037
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:44,840
I can't take them back.

1038
01:15:45,390 --> 01:15:46,590
Exactly!

1039
01:15:47,140 --> 01:15:48,760
That's exactly my point.

1040
01:15:49,100 --> 01:15:51,400
You can't take back your words

1041
01:15:51,470 --> 01:15:54,010
so you should think twice
before uttering them.

1042
01:15:54,100 --> 01:15:55,480
I goofed up.

1043
01:15:56,890 --> 01:15:58,810
I need your blessings.

1044
01:15:58,890 --> 01:16:00,180
No way.

1045
01:16:02,670 --> 01:16:04,260
Don't do like that.

1046
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:06,140
Give him your blessings.

1047
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:13,740
Lakshmi, blessings alone won't help.

1048
01:16:15,380 --> 01:16:17,780
She's raging with vengeance.

1049
01:16:19,130 --> 01:16:21,640
I must do something.

1050
01:16:31,890 --> 01:16:33,490
Be victorious.

1051
01:16:34,820 --> 01:16:36,320
May you succeed.

1052
01:16:41,260 --> 01:16:42,770
Your arrival in Pune

1053
01:16:43,170 --> 01:16:44,930
made me squirmish.

1054
01:16:46,750 --> 01:16:48,820
This village isn't for us, girl.

1055
01:16:50,900 --> 01:16:53,440
You know what happened
to Mastani in Pune.

1056
01:16:56,230 --> 01:16:59,690
I was yearning to experience her presence.

1057
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:07,350
That's a blessing for any artist.

1058
01:17:10,430 --> 01:17:13,350
But you mustn't have the same fate as her.

1059
01:17:18,730 --> 01:17:21,640
Madam, Avanti and Ragini are here.

1060
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:23,120
Let's go.

1061
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:25,100
Hurry up! Come on.

1062
01:17:25,180 --> 01:17:26,470
Let's go.

1063
01:17:27,210 --> 01:17:28,930
Why did you call them?

1064
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:32,280
I had to.

1065
01:17:33,290 --> 01:17:34,430
You'll see.

1066
01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:36,170
Let's go.

1067
01:17:40,980 --> 01:17:42,350
Why did they come here.

1068
01:17:44,550 --> 01:17:47,510
- Get going.
- Here.

1069
01:17:52,060 --> 01:17:53,970
I called them here.

1070
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:57,640
These are my people.

1071
01:18:01,690 --> 01:18:05,520
They've called musicians
from far and wide.

1072
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,380
Don't take this battle lightly.

1073
01:18:13,530 --> 01:18:14,530
Listen to me.

1074
01:18:14,620 --> 01:18:15,850
Ragini,

1075
01:18:16,100 --> 01:18:17,510
Avanti,

1076
01:18:18,090 --> 01:18:20,800
show her everything you have

1077
01:18:22,300 --> 01:18:24,800
learnt from your guru.

1078
01:18:27,340 --> 01:18:29,590
This test isn't just for Phullwa.

1079
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:35,130
It's for all of us so get started.

1080
01:18:37,340 --> 01:18:40,250
Prepare for what, Guru?

1081
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:44,460
I'm sure that scholar
can't play the instrument.

1082
01:18:46,130 --> 01:18:48,050
Your laughter today

1083
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:51,670
will turn to tears soon.

1084
01:18:54,670 --> 01:18:57,960
You're wrong in underestimating
the scholar.

1085
01:18:58,380 --> 01:18:59,880
Correct.

1086
01:19:00,010 --> 01:19:01,800
You're right about that.

1087
01:19:02,710 --> 01:19:05,090
This won't be an easy battle.

1088
01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:09,090
He's a renowned scholar.

1089
01:19:10,130 --> 01:19:13,210
Once he visited my village for a debate.

1090
01:19:14,170 --> 01:19:16,050
I have seen my king

1091
01:19:16,130 --> 01:19:18,460
bow down to his intellect.

1092
01:19:19,550 --> 01:19:21,760
This time too a head will bow.

1093
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:26,380
He will bow down to me.

1094
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:31,170
Let him use all his might
to play the instrument.

1095
01:19:33,170 --> 01:19:35,010
It'll be great fun defeating him.

1096
01:19:35,670 --> 01:19:39,260
He has some confidence
to play the instrument.

1097
01:19:39,630 --> 01:19:40,840
I'm sure

1098
01:19:41,050 --> 01:19:45,050
he has some experience with it.

1099
01:19:48,380 --> 01:19:50,170
Lord!

1100
01:20:01,090 --> 01:20:02,550
What's happening?

1101
01:20:04,390 --> 01:20:07,760
What was that you did?

1102
01:20:09,340 --> 01:20:17,210
I haven't heard anything
as terrible as that!

1103
01:20:19,140 --> 01:20:20,920
At this rate,

1104
01:20:21,690 --> 01:20:24,590
all religious institutions will lose face

1105
01:20:25,150 --> 01:20:27,460
defeated by a dancer!

1106
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:30,590
When you can't play that instrument,

1107
01:20:30,670 --> 01:20:33,550
why did you accept the challenge?

1108
01:20:37,190 --> 01:20:38,380
I don't know.

1109
01:20:38,460 --> 01:20:39,840
Really?

1110
01:20:40,950 --> 01:20:42,460
It's only wise

1111
01:20:42,550 --> 01:20:44,420
to do what one knows!

1112
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:46,560
I don't know.

1113
01:20:47,090 --> 01:20:48,710
At this rate,

1114
01:20:49,210 --> 01:20:50,960
that women will forget her oath

1115
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:53,760
and burst out laughing in the court.

1116
01:20:55,130 --> 01:20:57,550
You need a miracle to save you.

1117
01:20:58,900 --> 01:21:01,510
He has to use his brains

1118
01:21:01,590 --> 01:21:03,010
and bring about a miracle.

1119
01:21:03,090 --> 01:21:04,550
Yes.

1120
01:21:05,710 --> 01:21:07,840
How much time do we have?

1121
01:21:09,380 --> 01:21:11,420
The date isn't declared yet.

1122
01:21:12,590 --> 01:21:14,800
I guess we have a month.

1123
01:21:15,210 --> 01:21:16,590
That should suffice.

1124
01:21:17,460 --> 01:21:20,420
I learned all 4 scriptures within a month.

1125
01:21:22,090 --> 01:21:23,920
This can't be tougher than that.

1126
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:27,520
You were competing with yourself then

1127
01:21:27,970 --> 01:21:29,460
not with a dancer.

1128
01:21:29,530 --> 01:21:30,880
Do you realize that?

1129
01:21:33,550 --> 01:21:35,510
Okay, Start preparing.

1130
01:21:35,930 --> 01:21:38,640
Take off those rings first.

1131
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,840
Nothing should be lacking
in our preparation.

1132
01:21:56,420 --> 01:21:58,670
The contest has to be fair.

1133
01:21:59,570 --> 01:22:03,260
Phullwanti's challenge isn't
a personal affair any more.

1134
01:22:03,340 --> 01:22:05,710
The whole nation is talking about it.

1135
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:10,880
Why do all cursed nymphs
come to Shaniwar Wada!

1136
01:22:12,850 --> 01:22:16,170
And a scholar losing out to a dancer

1137
01:22:16,460 --> 01:22:18,880
will besmirch
the Peshwa rule's reputation.

1138
01:22:19,090 --> 01:22:22,210
We have to be fair with the results.

1139
01:22:22,550 --> 01:22:25,210
The whole nation looks up
to Pune's justice system.

1140
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:28,090
Moreover, Phullwanti has fans aplenty.

1141
01:22:29,130 --> 01:22:31,840
If the results are even slightly unfair,

1142
01:22:32,440 --> 01:22:34,130
disaster will befall.

1143
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:37,210
The results are not in our hands.

1144
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:40,960
Or Shastri would've won hands down.

1145
01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:44,170
That's understood

1146
01:22:44,260 --> 01:22:45,630
but what's the solution to this?

1147
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:48,420
Nanasaheb, the only solution I see

1148
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:51,770
is selecting informed judges

1149
01:22:52,010 --> 01:22:54,960
and accepting their decision.

1150
01:22:55,050 --> 01:22:56,800
Thus, we'll be mere spectators.

1151
01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:58,420
Mere spectators

1152
01:22:58,510 --> 01:22:59,880
for the contest.

1153
01:23:00,090 --> 01:23:04,630
Thus, we can enjoy Phullwanti's dance
like other patrons.

1154
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:08,630
Phullwanti's dance or Shastri's defeat?

1155
01:23:10,260 --> 01:23:13,170
I feel terrible, Nanasaheb.

1156
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:16,760
But Shastri is done for.

1157
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:43,550
- Great!
- Wow.

1158
01:23:45,830 --> 01:23:46,630
Wow.

1159
01:23:46,710 --> 01:23:48,550
Great dance.

1160
01:23:49,710 --> 01:23:50,840
Too good.

1161
01:23:51,380 --> 01:23:53,840
Your anklets are on fire.

1162
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:58,170
That enchanting jingling!

1163
01:23:59,550 --> 01:24:03,420
Doesn't matter what music piece he plays.

1164
01:24:03,500 --> 01:24:06,090
He won't get too far.

1165
01:24:06,300 --> 01:24:09,510
I wonder if he can even
play something simple.

1166
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:20,630
Intelligent people avoid taking
the dirty road.

1167
01:24:23,630 --> 01:24:26,300
They pave a separate way.

1168
01:24:28,510 --> 01:24:30,460
More than how Shashtri beats his drums,

1169
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:33,920
it's going to be important

1170
01:24:35,210 --> 01:24:36,840
as to what he will beat.

1171
01:24:37,630 --> 01:24:39,380
Absolutely.

1172
01:24:41,340 --> 01:24:45,710
Every intellectual is asked
the same question at the time of exam.

1173
01:24:47,170 --> 01:24:50,090
But this Pundit's answers

1174
01:24:50,610 --> 01:24:52,310
were heard differently

1175
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:55,220
based on the hour of the day.

1176
01:24:55,300 --> 01:24:56,870
Great!

1177
01:24:58,310 --> 01:25:01,440
Let him beat anything now.

1178
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:07,180
The judge will hear

1179
01:25:09,930 --> 01:25:13,550
only the tinkling of my anklets.

1180
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:17,350
The melodies will be sung by the experts,
Shashtri will beat the drum.

1181
01:25:17,430 --> 01:25:19,350
And Phullwanti will dance.

1182
01:25:19,470 --> 01:25:20,640
Because according to the plaintiff,

1183
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:22,180
Even if Phullwanti is giving
the performance,

1184
01:25:22,260 --> 01:25:25,930
her steps shouldn't go wrong,
because of Shashtri's wrong beats.

1185
01:25:26,010 --> 01:25:27,260
Nanasaheb.

1186
01:25:27,350 --> 01:25:28,930
She will dance throughout
the whole time given.

1187
01:25:29,010 --> 01:25:30,430
Within that time,

1188
01:25:30,510 --> 01:25:32,390
If Shashtri beats his drum wrongly,

1189
01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:36,480
or if she makes some mistakes
during her performance,

1190
01:25:36,890 --> 01:25:38,470
then the judge will decide it, right?

1191
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:39,600
Am I right?

1192
01:25:39,730 --> 01:25:41,600
Dabhade sir, you're never wrong.

1193
01:25:42,850 --> 01:25:44,930
Nana, I've checked this morning.

1194
01:25:45,010 --> 01:25:47,300
Mahashivratri will be the best day.

1195
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:48,860
Now, you fix the time and rules

1196
01:25:48,930 --> 01:25:50,800
of this challenge.

1197
01:25:51,010 --> 01:25:51,470
Okay.

1198
01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:53,810
And Shashtri's horoscopes reveals,
he will always win over his enemies.

1199
01:25:54,270 --> 01:25:55,390
He cannot lose on this day.

1200
01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:58,250
Wait.

1201
01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:29,200
1, 2, 3, 4.

1202
01:29:40,690 --> 01:29:42,350
There is a competition today.

1203
01:29:43,130 --> 01:29:45,050
Is everyone prepared?

1204
01:29:45,350 --> 01:29:46,860
There shouldn't be any mistakes.

Will you please bring some flour
to apply on the drum?

1216
01:30:29,500 --> 01:30:31,020
What's wrong?

1217
01:30:35,350 --> 01:30:36,980
Uncle.

1218
01:30:37,190 --> 01:30:39,530
Aunty's name is not Phullwanti.

1219
01:30:39,610 --> 01:30:42,570
- But Lakshmi.
- Yes.

1220
01:30:44,100 --> 01:30:45,070
Let yours start.

1221
01:30:46,420 --> 01:30:47,380

How can I make this mistake?

1228

Today's competition

1229
01:31:52,790 --> 01:31:54,890
Is between the drum
and the tinkling bells.

1230
01:31:57,880 --> 01:31:59,840
Should you maintain your drumbeat
or your mental balance,

1231
01:32:01,720 --> 01:32:04,430
will be more important
from both the sides.

1232
01:32:18,490 --> 01:32:21,900
Glory to Lord Vishnu!

1233
01:32:21,980 --> 01:32:25,000
Glory to Lord Vishnu!

1234
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:27,980
Glory to Lord Vishnu!

1235
01:32:29,450 --> 01:32:31,760
What shall I ask from you?

1236
01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:38,390
I don't understand
who's getting testified in all this?

1237
01:32:41,090 --> 01:32:43,760
Is she going to give her test
in front of him?

1238
01:32:44,640 --> 01:32:47,590
Or is he going to be tested
in front of her?

1239
01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:53,300
Or are you testing me in front
of all of them, Lord?

1240
01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:55,260
If she wins,

1241
01:32:55,970 --> 01:32:59,010
I won't be able to tolerate
his humiliation.

1242
01:33:00,300 --> 01:33:01,890
And if he wins,

1243
01:33:03,450 --> 01:33:06,140
a woman will enter in my marital life.

1244
01:33:07,790 --> 01:33:11,640
In both ways, I'll be at loss.

1245
01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:17,890
Peshwa's rules cannot stop her.

1246
01:33:18,670 --> 01:33:20,590
Phullwanti is a fiery storm.

1247
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:22,890
You're right.

1248
01:33:24,260 --> 01:33:26,090
Phullwanti's victory is final.

1249
01:33:28,930 --> 01:33:32,220
It seems that Pundit is dreaming big.

1250
01:33:32,980 --> 01:33:34,390
Let him be.

1251
01:33:37,420 --> 01:33:39,090
Soon he will

1252
01:33:39,640 --> 01:33:40,930
wake up to reality.

1253
01:33:46,980 --> 01:33:49,380
Finally, that day rose.

1254
01:33:51,180 --> 01:33:53,920
Both the competitors were talented.

1255
01:33:54,440 --> 01:33:58,260
Both had their Guru's blessings.

1256
01:33:59,580 --> 01:34:02,680
The loser of this unexpected challenge,

1257
01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:05,060
would ruin his life completely.

1258
01:34:06,550 --> 01:34:07,830
Still,

1259
01:34:07,910 --> 01:34:10,080
Shashtri and Phullwanti,

1260
01:34:10,300 --> 01:34:14,010
were ready to defeat each other.

1261
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,370
Who will win from art and intellect?

1262
01:34:17,450 --> 01:34:19,300
Everyone was thrilled and

1263
01:34:19,380 --> 01:34:21,400
excited to see that.

1264
01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:47,480

01:34:47,890 --> 01:34:49,140

1266
01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:51,060
Phullawanti.

1267
01:34:51,750 --> 01:34:52,790
And Peshwa's.

1268
01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:57,580

"Chanting your name all the time."

1285
01:36:14,350 --> 01:36:16,640
"I've offered myself at your service."

1286
01:36:16,720 --> 01:36:21,390
"Lord Nataraj, give me enough strength."

1287
01:36:21,470 --> 01:36:23,850
"Chanting your name all the time. "

1288
01:36:23,930 --> 01:36:26,350
"I've offered myself at your service. "

1289
01:36:26,430 --> 01:36:30,970
"Lord Nataraj, give me enough strength. "

1290
01:36:31,060 --> 01:36:35,900
- Wow!
- "I've staked my existence. "

1291
01:36:35,970 --> 01:36:40,600
"Redefine my sense, o Lord. "

1292
01:36:40,680 --> 01:36:45,390
"Glory to Lord Shiva Shambhu!"

1293
01:36:45,470 --> 01:36:50,180
"Glory to Lord Shiva Shambhu!"

1294
01:37:43,990 --> 01:37:44,740
Wow!

1295
01:38:19,930 --> 01:38:26,460
[Melodies of classical dance. ]

1296
01:38:44,190 --> 01:38:48,220
"Glory to Lord Shiva Shambhu!"

1297
01:38:48,310 --> 01:38:53,430
"Glory to Lord Shiva Shambhu!"

1298
01:38:56,640 --> 01:39:00,770
"Glory to Lord Shiva Shambhu!"

1299
01:39:59,310 --> 01:40:01,290
Amazing, Shashtri!

1300
01:40:41,170 --> 01:40:45,520
Long live Shastri!

1301
01:40:46,010 --> 01:40:50,490
Long live Shastri!

1302
01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:55,680
Long live Shastri!

1303
01:40:55,760 --> 01:40:59,900
Long live Shastri!

1304
01:40:59,980 --> 01:41:03,670
Long live Shastri!

1305
01:41:03,750 --> 01:41:05,570
Wow, Shashtri!

1306
01:41:08,030 --> 01:41:12,290
This royal court was always proud
of your knowledge.

1307
01:41:13,110 --> 01:41:16,450
Today, your artistic skills has made us
all the more proud.

1308
01:41:17,420 --> 01:41:21,780
Long live Shastri!

1309
01:41:22,200 --> 01:41:24,990
- Glory to Lord Ganesha!
- Sister-in-law!

1310
01:41:25,070 --> 01:41:27,400
Sister-in-law!

1311
01:41:27,540 --> 01:41:29,990
Stop your prayer now.

1312
01:41:30,060 --> 01:41:31,590
Your husband has won the competition.

1313
01:41:31,670 --> 01:41:34,720
Sir has won the competition.

1314
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:36,390
Sir has won the competition.

1315
01:41:36,470 --> 01:41:38,550
Sir has won the competition.

1316
01:41:41,590 --> 01:41:44,190
Long live Shastri!

1317
01:41:44,270 --> 01:41:46,690
Long live Shastri!

1318
01:41:46,780 --> 01:41:49,510
Long live Shastri!

1319
01:41:53,010 --> 01:41:55,570
Long live Shastri!

1320
01:41:55,650 --> 01:41:57,910
Long live Shastri!

1321
01:41:57,990 --> 01:42:00,470
Long live Shastri!

1322
01:42:00,550 --> 01:42:02,900
Long live Shastri!

1323
01:42:02,980 --> 01:42:05,390
Long live Shastri!

1324
01:42:05,470 --> 01:42:07,650
Long live Shastri!

1325
01:42:09,210 --> 01:42:10,310
Stop.

1326
01:42:14,390 --> 01:42:16,010
I will complete an important task first.

1327
01:42:22,250 --> 01:42:23,700
Take me to Chafe Mahal.

1328
01:42:38,910 --> 01:42:41,830
Komal!
I've been calling you since a long time.

1329
01:42:42,610 --> 01:42:44,750
Come on, wrap up everything.

1330
01:42:45,210 --> 01:42:46,460
Don't you know,

1331
01:42:46,540 --> 01:42:48,400
I've time till tomorrow morning only.

1332
01:42:48,680 --> 01:42:51,290
Then I've to go to Shashtri's house.

1333
01:42:51,370 --> 01:42:53,790
Come, Baija, come and help me.

1334
01:43:04,210 --> 01:43:06,210
You seem to be very happy.

1335
01:43:08,620 --> 01:43:11,210
No shame at all.

1336
01:43:13,540 --> 01:43:15,960
You've done away with everything.

1337
01:43:18,370 --> 01:43:22,000
Decked up like a married woman,

1338
01:43:22,080 --> 01:43:24,620
you're not going to that house
as his life partner.

1339
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:29,540
But you will just be his slave.

1340
01:43:36,180 --> 01:43:38,220
Since I've lost the competition,

1341
01:43:39,320 --> 01:43:40,830
I will have to go.

1342
01:43:42,290 --> 01:43:43,750
Lost it?

1343
01:43:47,220 --> 01:43:48,830
Have you really lost the competition?

1344
01:43:54,170 --> 01:43:59,540
You've learnt dance
before you learnt to take your first step.

1345
01:44:01,750 --> 01:44:03,420
And you said, you missed the step?

1346
01:44:11,370 --> 01:44:13,120
Sorry, Gurumai.

1347
01:44:14,600 --> 01:44:18,460
I don't know how. But I missed the steps.

1348
01:44:46,200 --> 01:44:47,920
- Phulla! - Gurumai.
- Stop.

1349
01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:50,370
Get back!

1350
01:45:01,020 --> 01:45:02,140
Gurumai.

1351
01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:13,240
Hello!

1352
01:45:18,280 --> 01:45:19,780
I'm here to pick her up.

1353
01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:34,840
Right now?

1354
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:37,500
Peshwa had said tomorrow morning.

1355
01:45:51,580 --> 01:45:52,990
I'm waiting outside.

1356
01:46:06,870 --> 01:46:08,240
Come.

1357
01:46:15,180 --> 01:46:17,710
Phulla, wait. Please.

1358
01:46:17,790 --> 01:46:19,280
- Phulla.
- Please, don't go.

1359
01:46:19,370 --> 01:46:20,550
Don't stop me.

1360
01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:22,170
Phulla!

1361
01:46:26,200 --> 01:46:27,620
Phulla!

1362
01:46:30,870 --> 01:46:32,370
Phulla!

1363
01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:44,440
Come and sit in your place.

1364
01:47:17,180 --> 01:47:18,410
Phulla!

1365
01:47:18,490 --> 01:47:19,720
Phulla!

1366
01:47:22,100 --> 01:47:23,710
Phulla!

1367
01:47:25,340 --> 01:47:26,820
Vamanrao!

1368
01:47:26,980 --> 01:47:31,870
See, Shashtri and that lady are
in in the same palanquin.

1369
01:47:31,950 --> 01:47:34,390
My God! Today,

1370
01:47:34,470 --> 01:47:35,990
even the god's statue will break.

1371
01:47:36,070 --> 01:47:38,120
Poor God! What will he do?

1372
01:47:38,200 --> 01:47:39,980
This is the era of Kali.

1373
01:47:40,060 --> 01:47:41,700
It's nothing like that.

1374
01:47:41,780 --> 01:47:44,990
This is Shashtri's new hobby.

1375
01:47:45,250 --> 01:47:47,990
As they say, once if you've kept aside
all the shame,

1376
01:47:48,210 --> 01:47:50,370
you lose all your senses.

1377
01:47:51,140 --> 01:47:52,660
Shame!

1378
01:47:55,990 --> 01:47:57,710
Yuck.

1379
01:47:58,420 --> 01:48:00,200
It's okay for him.

1380
01:48:00,690 --> 01:48:02,530
After all, he's man.

1381
01:48:02,900 --> 01:48:04,830
But she should have some shame.

1382
01:48:05,580 --> 01:48:06,700
No. No.

1383
01:48:06,780 --> 01:48:08,580
I don't think there's anything suspicious.

1384
01:48:09,630 --> 01:48:12,490
Do you think they are going
for religious hymns at this time?

1385
01:48:12,780 --> 01:48:14,200
Oh yes!

1386
01:48:14,830 --> 01:48:17,660
Time for the sermon and hymns is over now.

1387
01:48:18,480 --> 01:48:20,330
Now, only party.

1388
01:48:20,410 --> 01:48:21,620
Shh...

1389
01:48:32,160 --> 01:48:33,200
Stop.

1390
01:48:35,240 --> 01:48:36,870
Take it to Shaniwar Wada, not at home.

1391
01:48:42,630 --> 01:48:44,350
What's the matter, Shashtri?

1392
01:48:44,850 --> 01:48:47,430
I hope Phullwanti Bai isn't turning
away from her promise.

1393
01:48:48,340 --> 01:48:51,100
Because once I've given
the justice, it's final.

1394
01:48:52,170 --> 01:48:54,510
Nobody has the right
to go against my justice.

1395
01:48:54,590 --> 01:48:56,060
Shreemant.

1396
01:48:57,350 --> 01:48:59,850
I wish, she should turn
away from her promise.

1397
01:49:01,850 --> 01:49:02,940
What do you mean?

1398
01:49:03,020 --> 01:49:04,140
You please keep out of it.

1399
01:49:04,230 --> 01:49:05,700
- Shashtri.
- Shreemant.

1400
01:49:07,590 --> 01:49:09,480
This is about a woman's opinion.

1401
01:49:11,060 --> 01:49:12,890
So, let the decision be taken,

1402
01:49:13,230 --> 01:49:15,190
In witness of Mahadev.

1403
01:49:18,860 --> 01:49:20,060
Speak up, Shashtri.

1404
01:49:22,480 --> 01:49:25,310
She didn't miss her steps during
the challenge.

1405
01:49:28,650 --> 01:49:31,030
She's an expert in her field.

1406
01:49:32,770 --> 01:49:34,640
She's an extraordinary artist.

1407
01:49:35,700 --> 01:49:38,650
But she was blinded by her fame
and success.

1408
01:49:41,480 --> 01:49:44,020
Her ego was turning into her words.

1409
01:49:44,400 --> 01:49:46,820
And her steps were acting arrogant.

1410
01:49:49,580 --> 01:49:51,040
I tried to break that ego.

1411
01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:53,640
But her heart is struck by my qualities.

1412
01:49:56,310 --> 01:49:58,100
I feel bad about that.

1413
01:50:00,250 --> 01:50:03,390
Whatever I had spoken was
to awaken her brilliance.

1414
01:50:05,480 --> 01:50:08,060
To awaken the real art

1415
01:50:08,590 --> 01:50:10,480
and devotion in her.

1416
01:50:12,900 --> 01:50:15,320
An artist and an intellectual

1417
01:50:15,730 --> 01:50:17,310
shouldn't be egoistic.

1418
01:50:18,460 --> 01:50:21,060
You never know when you will face defeat.

1419
01:50:21,850 --> 01:50:23,600
One should be confident.

1420
01:50:24,410 --> 01:50:25,940
But not ego.

1421
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:30,310
Even after being at the peak of success,
he should say.

1422
01:50:31,480 --> 01:50:33,690
It's God's blessings.

1423
01:50:39,650 --> 01:50:41,450
You said it correctly.

1424
01:50:42,350 --> 01:50:43,690
Shashtri.

1425
01:50:45,010 --> 01:50:46,810
You're correct.

1426
01:50:49,020 --> 01:50:50,690
But now this Phullwanti Bai

1427
01:50:51,690 --> 01:50:53,980
is rightfully your slave.

1428
01:50:55,600 --> 01:50:58,700
And this was already decided
by her promise and our laws.

1429
01:51:00,060 --> 01:51:02,890
So, now, this is your

1430
01:51:03,310 --> 01:51:04,100
personal matter.

1431
01:51:04,190 --> 01:51:05,390
No, Shreemant.

1432
01:51:06,770 --> 01:51:09,350
I did this for her betterment.

1433
01:51:10,410 --> 01:51:14,240
Not to get myself served
by such a refined artist.

1434
01:51:16,200 --> 01:51:19,600
My Lakshmi's house made
of mud and cow-dung

1435
01:51:21,640 --> 01:51:24,090
will not suit to her lifestyle.

1436
01:51:27,100 --> 01:51:29,530
Will you please accept my request?

1437
01:51:31,880 --> 01:51:33,640
Go ahead, Shashtri.

1438
01:51:34,110 --> 01:51:41,730
It's not right that my words would become
stormy and ruin her life completely.

1439
01:51:43,240 --> 01:51:47,680
Forget everything and she should live
with her art forever.

1440
01:51:48,920 --> 01:51:52,000
And she should be awarded
the best and sent back.

1441
01:51:53,570 --> 01:51:55,670
That's my request.

1442
01:52:00,870 --> 01:52:02,320
I'm sorry,

1443
01:52:03,940 --> 01:52:06,650
Anyways, I've no right to speak.

1444
01:52:08,390 --> 01:52:09,860
Still, I'd dare.

1445
01:52:11,120 --> 01:52:14,400
The storm that appeared
in my life is not because of his words.

1446
01:52:16,740 --> 01:52:19,110
But because of my ego.

1447
01:52:22,470 --> 01:52:25,060
Now, the ego has melted.

1448
01:52:26,890 --> 01:52:28,240
Storm has settled.

1449
01:52:30,540 --> 01:52:33,150
Now, this is my new birth.

1450
01:52:36,350 --> 01:52:39,560
Now, I want to spend my life
in his service.

1451
01:52:43,600 --> 01:52:45,810
He stacked his prestige that he had earned

1452
01:52:48,780 --> 01:52:51,930
so far in order to destroy the vice in me.

1453
01:52:55,310 --> 01:52:58,940
I have never seen such a great sacrifice

1454
01:53:01,040 --> 01:53:02,550
for the welfare of another.

1455
01:53:10,960 --> 01:53:13,060
So, not because I've lost it by law.

1456
01:53:17,080 --> 01:53:19,060
But for my respect for him,

1457
01:53:21,850 --> 01:53:24,120
I want to live in his house as a servant.

1458
01:53:28,850 --> 01:53:30,390
I don't mind if he give me

1459
01:53:31,560 --> 01:53:33,100
a space in cowshed,

1460
01:53:34,570 --> 01:53:35,730
or at the door.

1461
01:53:38,650 --> 01:53:43,400
I will happily live as he keeps me.

1462
01:53:46,810 --> 01:53:50,970
Now my life is meaningful
in the dedication of all this.

1463
01:53:52,080 --> 01:53:54,100
From now on, Phullwanti Bai

1464
01:53:54,380 --> 01:53:56,350
will come to your house as your slave.

1465
01:53:57,190 --> 01:53:58,430
Next day.

1466
01:53:59,980 --> 01:54:01,140
As per the rules of the challenge,

1467
01:54:01,220 --> 01:54:04,060
she would come to stay in my house
from the next day.

1468
01:54:40,490 --> 01:54:41,770
Please, don't go.

1469
01:54:42,030 --> 01:54:44,510
He has freed you from
the challenge, right?

1470
01:54:45,960 --> 01:54:48,760
How will we run this group without you?

1471
01:54:49,840 --> 01:54:53,810
My drum beats with your tinkling
bells, and not with my fingers.

1472
01:55:00,250 --> 01:55:01,850
Be happy,

1473
01:55:02,420 --> 01:55:03,850
wherever you are.

1474
01:55:26,820 --> 01:55:28,040
Phulle!

1475
01:57:16,610 --> 01:57:18,530
Are you Phullwanti Bai?

1476
01:57:25,490 --> 01:57:26,990
Phullwanti Bai.

1477
01:57:27,740 --> 01:57:29,900
Welcome to your house.

1478
01:57:31,250 --> 01:57:34,990
You said, if you will lose you will live
in my house as a slave.

1479
01:57:36,030 --> 01:57:38,240
So, from now onwards,
this house belongs to you.

1480
01:57:40,150 --> 01:57:41,600
Now, about me.

1481
01:57:43,200 --> 01:57:44,990
You very well know..

1482
01:57:46,660 --> 01:57:47,970
I did not win..

1483
01:57:48,880 --> 01:57:50,390
.. neither did you lose.

1484
01:57:52,800 --> 01:57:54,640
My Lakshmi lives in my heart.

1485
01:57:55,610 --> 01:57:57,730
And goddess Saraswati resides
in my luck.

1486
01:57:59,540 --> 01:58:00,470
Apart from them,

1487
01:58:00,540 --> 01:58:02,860
no woman has a place in my life.

1488
01:58:05,050 --> 01:58:06,570
Leaving your tingling bells here.

1489
01:58:08,080 --> 01:58:10,030
Because this isn't just your ornament.

1490
01:58:10,650 --> 01:58:12,130
But your soul.

1491
01:58:16,010 --> 01:58:18,470
Let God sound from that ornament

1492
01:58:18,550 --> 01:58:19,940
that has lost its ego

1493
01:58:21,990 --> 01:58:23,150
May you triumph!

1494
01:58:32,280 --> 01:58:34,400
This is sir's message for you.

1495
01:58:57,610 --> 01:58:59,030
Shashtri!

1496
01:58:59,330 --> 01:59:00,860
Where has he gone?

1497
01:59:03,690 --> 01:59:04,820
Don't know.

1498
01:59:05,580 --> 01:59:06,820
None of us know.

1499
01:59:32,450 --> 01:59:36,060
He must have promised
to emancipate me in his last birth.

1500
01:59:37,520 --> 01:59:38,770
Now I know..

1501
01:59:39,490 --> 01:59:41,880
Why I was attracted to Shaniwar Wada.

1502
01:59:43,550 --> 01:59:46,400
If you would not have
had any feelings for me..

1503
01:59:47,870 --> 01:59:50,050
.. you would not have taken this trouble.

1504
01:59:51,940 --> 01:59:56,120
If you had given me an opportunity
to serve you..

1505
01:59:57,390 --> 01:59:59,860
maybe we would have cleared
off each other's debts.

1506
02:00:00,610 --> 02:00:01,980
In this life.

1507
02:00:03,450 --> 02:00:04,910
But we couldn't come together
in this life.

1508
02:00:07,050 --> 02:00:08,740
Now, we will meet often.

1509
02:00:09,860 --> 02:00:11,380
Every moment.

1510
02:00:11,810 --> 02:00:13,450
In every life.

1511
02:00:15,160 --> 02:00:17,710
It's only my body that has left behind.

1512
02:00:19,610 --> 02:00:22,490
You've taken me along in your heart.

1513
02:00:24,010 --> 02:00:28,570
Lakshmi, even after losing you've won.

1514
02:00:28,650 --> 02:00:32,780
And she has won, yet lost.

1515
02:00:34,740 --> 02:00:36,570
Shall I ask you something?

1516
02:00:41,310 --> 02:00:44,700
In all these days, even once,

1517
02:00:45,280 --> 02:00:46,610
ever did..

1518
02:00:48,200 --> 02:00:51,780
my place in your heart change?

1519
02:01:19,610 --> 02:01:21,120
Don't answer.

1520
02:01:23,920 --> 02:01:25,780
I know.

1521
02:01:27,570 --> 02:01:29,370
You won't lie.

1522
02:02:14,670 --> 02:02:19,330
'You've learnt dance before
you learnt to take your first step. '

1523
02:02:20,610 --> 02:02:22,080
'And you said, you missed the step?'

1524
02:02:23,170 --> 02:02:26,660
You would not have missed a beat..

1525
02:02:26,740 --> 02:02:28,580
.. even if Lord Brahma
would have played the tabor.

1526
02:02:29,540 --> 02:02:30,950
Only I know..

1527
02:02:32,320 --> 02:02:35,750
You deliberately falterd because
you are in love with this Shastri.

1528
02:02:36,800 --> 02:02:38,860
You deliberately committed a mistake.

1529
02:02:41,350 --> 02:02:43,740
Yes, she deliberately lost
the challenge.

1530
02:02:44,870 --> 02:02:46,360
Yes, she lost deliberately.

1531
02:02:47,400 --> 02:02:49,110
For Shashtri's love.

1532
02:02:50,620 --> 02:02:54,550
She reached the epitome of love.

1533
02:02:55,900 --> 02:02:58,110
Both of them once again proved that..

1534
02:02:59,380 --> 02:03:03,400
.. true love is in sacrifice.

1535
02:03:05,160 --> 02:03:08,210
Their unexpressed love..

1536
02:03:08,790 --> 02:03:12,080
.. stayed in people's hearts
for a long time.
