1
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,000
LAKSHAGRIH - 25 YEARS AGO

2
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,960
Burning, melting,

3
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,120
losing hairspray.

4
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,280
We are mere wax dolls.

5
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,720
- We were born pure and innocent.
- Let's go.

6
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,440
So slowly,
the heat of time burns us,

7
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,800
melt us
and ends up turning us into ashes.

8
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,720
Yet it is the light of that fire

9
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,080
that shows us the way forward.

10
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,920
Arjuna, come on.

11
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,560
- Let's go.
- Arjuna, be careful.

12
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,560
What a relief! The light is not far away, children.

13
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,960
I suspected Duryodhana

14
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,440
as soon as he suggested celebrating
father's death anniversary

15
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,560
here in Varnavrata.

16
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,280
Father's death anniversary
and our funeral.

17
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,800
Duryodhana had planned it.

18
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,680
But by setting fire to Lakshagrih,
we gave an adequate response.

19
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,080
The Pandavas believed

20
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,520
who had escaped danger
setting fire to Lakshagrih,

21
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,480
but danger awaited them outside

22
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:55,160
in the form of someone whose lineage
would change the fate of Kurukshetra.

23
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,920
Didn't I say, guru, that after sunset,
must the battle cease?

24
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,200
Where are the noble ideals of the Pandavas?
And the rules of war?

25
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,160
One night, until your rules and ideals

26
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,680
they melted like wax
under fire, Duryodhana.

27
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,000
Lakshagrih.

28
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,520
I know what you're implying, guru.

29
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,360
Just once.

30
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,440
And this attempt also failed.

31
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,760
What a fearsome brazier.

32
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,120
How did this fire start, brother Hidimba?

33
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,720
Glad it started.

34
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,160
Tonight
we will roast the meat on this fire.

35
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,360
Food.

36
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,120
I smell humans, Hidimba.

37
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,160
That fort will be my meal.

38
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,000
Go, Hidimba.

39
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,480
Bring him to me. Go!

40
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,000
We need to rest.

41
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,200
Only the demons and chameleons
can change shape.

42
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,200
But the Pandavas
revealed the true nature

43
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,080
when they killed Jayadratha after sunset.

44
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,000
Let's become demons and face them.

45
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,400
- But we have to be ethical!
- Calm down, Duryodhana.

46
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,360
Our commander and his rules.

47
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,680
It doesn't even feel like a war,
but before that we go back to the guru's school.

48
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,640
You shoot arrows of sarcasm well, Karna.

49
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,720
Why don't you shoot arrows in battle?

50
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,480
I heard that you want to defeat Arjuna.
So do it!

51
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,840
Kill Arjuna.

52
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,080
Did I tie your hands?

53
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,480
Don't blame me for your inability.

54
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,240
If you feel restricted
by the rules, breaks them.

55
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,520
If even Vasudeva Krishna himself
crossed the line,

56
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,800
who are we?

57
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,600
I mean, today...

58
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,560
Night war.

59
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,480
They started

60
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,320
and we're done.

61
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:53,520
Glory to Commander Dronacharya!

62
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,120
- Glory to…
- Betrayal!

63
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,240
We were attacked.

64
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,560
The Pandavas are coming.

65
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,880
The Kauravas had only made one decision,
but with Krishna's guidance,

66
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,200
the Pandavas not only chose
the path of night war,

67
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:14,920
but also its leader.

68
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,920
On the attack!

69
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,200
As the darkness increased,

70
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:25,160
Kurukshetra began to shine even brighter.

71
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:30,840
As if it weren't just
a battle between Pandavas and Kauravas,

72
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,560
but a conflict between darkness and light.

73
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,080
The night would be long for both sides.

74
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,800
This is Kurukshetra

75
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,800
This is Kurukshetra

76
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,680
THE 18 DAY WAR

77
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,800
GHATOTKACHA

78
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,560
What did I tell you
Lord Krishna, Ghatotkacha?

79
00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,400
He gave me his blessing and said
that the night belongs to me and I to it.

80
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,040
What it means?

81
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,800
Krishna said, "Every night
they are a celebration for the next day.

82
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,080
The night is scary and beautiful."

83
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000
How can the night be beautiful?

84
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:20,800
He said he found his sacred love
on a night like this in Vrndavana.

85
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:21,880
It's true.

86
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,320
I met your mother, Hidimba,
on a night like this.

87
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,400
Who is there? Who is it?

88
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,560
Such a beautiful woman in the woods at this hour.

89
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,680
Are you real or are you a dream?

90
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,320
Maybe a demon?

91
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,560
Just a woman

92
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,760
that does not control the heart.

93
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,520
- Who controls it?
- It could be you, human.

94
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,960
Your form, your youth
and your eyes.

95
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,720
I took on this beautiful form just for you.

96
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,480
Don't accept me?

97
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,960
Thus began the story of Ghatotkacha,
half-human and half-demon.

98
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,160
Today, you and my grandchildren
born of demons

99
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,400
they will write a new chapter of it.

100
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,960
Don't worry, dad.

101
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,760
My demonic powers
they are for battling under the stars.

102
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,240
It won't just be a battle.
I will unleash a chaos of destruction.

103
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,280
Death itself will dance here.

104
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,000
You will see that the ground is too narrow to escape
and the sky is too tight to hide!

105
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,600
My God! Who is Ghatotkacha, Sanjay?

106
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,720
The one you never stop glorifying?

107
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,400
"I say what I see."

108
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,960
I only speak of what I see, Your Majesty.

109
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,680
What am I witnessing
It's something I've never seen before.

110
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,360
Four horses the size of mountains,

111
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,360
a chariot tearing through the skies,

112
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,440
a fearsome vulture perched on it

113
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,120
and a red flag
soaked in blood, waving in the wind.

114
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,400
In the chariot sits Ghatotkacha,

115
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,040
even greater than his father Bhima,

116
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,000
as the incarnation of death itself.

117
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,880
Run away! Save yourselves!

118
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,240
Run away!

119
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,360
Kill him! Catch Ghatotkacha and kill him!

120
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,000
Kill him!

121
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,320
Kill him!

122
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,200
- Run away!
- Save yourselves!

123
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,160
Run away! Save yourselves!

124
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,280
Ghatotkacha.
Your name means "bald".

125
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,520
Why did they call you that?

126
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,320
Laugh away, Ashwatthama.

127
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,800
After this, you won't be able to laugh.

128
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,920
I will leave you unrecognizable,
you will fear your own reflection.

129
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,200
When he looked, their spirits faded.

130
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,040
Wherever Ghatotkacha passed,
left a cemetery.

131
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,760
The Kauravas scattered in panic,
running away to save themselves,

132
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,280
and Duryodhana became powerless
watching it happen.

133
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,840
But will Ashwatthama
Would you accept defeat so easily?

134
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,480
His strength wavered
before the power of Ghatotkacha.

135
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:19,400
Father!

136
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,400
Instead of Ghatotkacha's body,
broke his spirit.

137
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,600
Ashwatthama attacked his son.

138
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:34,240
Ghatotkacha, see the sacrifice
of your little demon.

139
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,520
Anjanparva! My son!

140
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:08,680
I have news from the western front.
Ashwatthama killed Ghatotkacha.

141
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,960
We don't know if he's dead
or breathing little.

142
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:17,120
Even if you breathe again,
others will not.

143
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,360
Did you see what he subjected him to?
my nephew Ashwatthama.

144
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,720
And Arjuna? What is his?

145
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,480
So afraid of the devil and you have forgotten Arjuna.

146
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:29,040
He is the axis of this war.

147
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,920
If he falls, neither god nor devil
will be able to save the Pandavas.

148
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,840
I own an arrow
from which even Krishna cannot protect Arjuna.

149
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,080
The Ekagni arrow, from Indra himself.

150
00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:44,560
I will only use this arrow for Arjuna.

151
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:06,480
Arjuna, where are you hiding?
Face me if you are a warrior.

152
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:08,880
Stop hiding behind Krishna.

153
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,960
- Advance!
- No, Arjuna.

154
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,560
Today is not your day.

155
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,960
I must remain silent
watching my friends die?

156
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,040
Karna must be stopped, Keshava.

157
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,240
Of course you do, Partha.

158
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,520
- But you won't do it.
- Who, then?

159
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,320
The one who was born for this day.

160
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,360
Look who's coming back
after overcoming death.

161
00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:02,040
Ashwatthama! You killed my son.

162
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:04,200
Enough of this war.

163
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,760
Today marks the end for you
and for your army.

164
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,440
This is terrible.

165
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,720
Flee if you can, son of Drona.

166
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,160
We must stop him, Duryodhana,

167
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,600
otherwise he will transform Kurukshetra
hell for us.

168
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,680
Don't worry, Ashwatthama.

169
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,000
If he is Hell,
We have the Lord of Hell on our side.

170
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,920
Alayudha!

171
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,680
I looked for you everywhere, Bhima.
You killed Hidimba.

172
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,280
I moved mountains to find you.

173
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,400
You have tarnished the name of our clan.

174
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,120
Move forward, killer.

175
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,200
Face me!

176
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,680
Human, take them all and get out of here.

177
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,720
You and your family are in danger.

178
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,760
Who is there?

179
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,640
Go ahead if you have the courage.

180
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,000
I've been waiting a long time to devour you.

181
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,160
I can't wait any longer.

182
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,920
We'll see if you eat me

183
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,560
or if I kill you.

184
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:44,480
No, human.

185
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:56,640
Brother.

186
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,440
Was he your brother?

187
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:05,120
Brother, mother, father…
Hidimba was everything to me.

188
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,040
I understand your pain, Hidimba.

189
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,880
But if I didn't kill him...

190
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,800
He would have eaten you all. I know.

191
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,160
That's why he sent me here.

192
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,440
To kill you all.

193
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,800
You could have killed us.
Why didn't you do it?

194
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:26,720
Because I love your son
more than my own life.

195
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,040
Tell me, how can I kill the one I love?

196
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:38,440
But now I feel
that I have to give up my life.

197
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,240
Why do you say that, little one?

198
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,720
They won't accept a demon like me.

199
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,840
Why not?

200
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,640
You are a creature of God, just like us.

201
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,200
May God bless you with a son.

202
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,720
Surely one day
your son will make you very proud.

203
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,600
You can look for my father later.

204
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,120
First, save yourself from me.

205
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,960
It's the end of Ghatotkacha.

206
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,200
Arjuna, you coward, appears!

207
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,720
Alayudha!

208
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,560
How could you attack your family, idiot?

209
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,480
I'm your enemy.

210
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,160
If you want to kill, kill me.

211
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,080
Before that, try to catch me,
your elephant.

212
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,280
I crush elephants like ants.

213
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,800
Ghatotkacha!

214
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,440
A gift for Prince Duryodhana,
from Ghatotkacha.

215
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,480
Ghatotkacha!

216
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,760
What it was? Didn't you like it?

217
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,680
Wait, I'll send you more.

218
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,000
You will end up liking something.

219
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,240
What sorcery is this, Karna?

220
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,960
We have to stop him.

221
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,160
I told you, if you want to see
At dawn tomorrow, kill Ghatotkacha.

222
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,080
Nobody took me seriously. Now save yourselves.

223
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:10,760
Ghatotkacha!

224
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:18,760
A wonderful, terrifying

225
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,440
and spectacular battle.

226
00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:26,040
Destroyed all strategies
that Karna had planned.

227
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,680
Karna, forget Arjuna and stop Ghatotkacha.

228
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,240
Use the Ekagni arrow!

229
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,800
Come on, Karna. Use the Ekagni arrow.

230
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,560
Save us, Karna.
Please save us all.

231
00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:00,920
I can only say that at the end of this war,
Arjuna will be standing or I will be.

232
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,400
Karna shot the Ekagni arrow,

233
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,240
the arrow he had received from Indra,

234
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,160
to kill Arjuna, son of Indra.

235
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,600
Ghatotkacha had fallen.

236
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,080
The Kauravas celebrated.

237
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,280
But Krishna knew what Karna had lost.

238
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,200
Bhima's son is dead
and are you smiling, Keshava?

239
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,480
For you, Arjuna.

240
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,840
Say no more, Keshava.
I don't want to hear anything.

241
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:24,960
Keshava?

242
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,640
Do you remember the day
Why did you come to me, Arjuna?

243
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,320
Today I came to you.

244
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,080
Tell me, Keshava.

245
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,040
You have to win this war, Partha.

246
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:38,280
Not for you or me.

247
00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:42,160
Not even by brother Yudhishthira.
You have to earn it through dharma.

248
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,600
If you win, dharma wins.

249
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,560
If you lose, dharma loses.

250
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:52,920
The Ekagni arrow that Karna used today
for Ghatotkacha was for you.

251
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,680
If you had been hit by the arrow,
you would have died.

252
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,800
I smiled at this, Arjuna.

253
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,280
Because I know that as long as you're alive,

254
00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:04,440
dharma will be there too.

255
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,880
It was I who stopped Ghatotkacha
and Hidimba from sacrificing humans.

256
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,080
And today I sacrificed him
to the fire of Kurukshetra.

257
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,440
What good is a kingdom?
if my son died?

258
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,880
I've never seen a more selfish father.

259
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,160
This war has long since passed

260
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,280
selfishness, altruism,
the just and the unjust, Bhima.

261
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:37,080
Only time will tell who was right
and who was wrong

262
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,440
and only time will heal your wounds.

263
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,680
We are wax dolls.

264
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,880
With a little heat,
we started to melt.

265
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,600
After 14 days of relentless war,
Dronacharya was tired and discouraged.

266
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,520
But I was also happy.

267
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,680
Because he and his lineage

268
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,600
they had survived
to see another dawn.

269
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:07,400
A dawn
which will soon bring destruction.

270
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,240
This is Kurukshetra, the battlefield

271
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,080
I am the light

272
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,640
And I am the shadow

273
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,800
Whose end

274
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,640
It's freedom from illusion

275
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,400
Come closer and merge with me

276
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,600
The end is your final destination

277
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,080
Below is the earth,
Above are the stars

278
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,840
This is Kurukshetra, the battlefield

279
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,480
