Original subtitles

Is the invitation only for you

or has your husband also been invited?

He was also invited.

But he told me that he has a lot of work today.

He asked me to go.

So, I came alone.

You mean, son-in-law could not be here

because of work, right?

Well, is he all right?

I mean, is he angry?

Why would he be angry, Mother?

And we never fight.

Was he all right yesterday too?

Good you reminded me, Lady Yamuna.

He was very angry yesterday, Mother.

And not just Gunoji

but I think father-in-law was also worried

as though he was thinking something.

Your son-in-law did not even talk to me yesterday.

Did something happen in the council yesterday?

They were worried after returning from the council.

I knew this would happen. He..

Did you see that, Lady Dwarka?

Our Seeta will be affected

based on how your son-in-law is treated here.

But you.. - What treatment?

What happened with him?

Tell me. - Well..

Seeta.

Can anybody ill-treat my son-in-law

in my presence?

Anyway, forget all that.

You have come after many days.

Let me ask the priest to pray for you in the temple.

Okay? You go. I will come in a while.

Lady Yamuna..

If Seeta does not know the truth yet

in that case, Lady Yamuna

she should not find out anything in future too.

Despite being so angry

if son-in-law has not told anything to Seeta

this means, he does not want to stretch this matter.

You are not understanding the matter.

If this was true

he would have come here with her.

But he did not come.

This means, he is very angry.

Oh, God!

I hope his anger does not make

Seeta's life miserable. - Lady Yamuna!

I have met my daughter after many days

and I do not want her to leave from here

with any bitter memories.

So, please do not instigate me today.

Great!

She is talking as though I have no other work.

Well, I have to praise Lady Gautama.

She knows very well

that Lady Dwarka is angry.

That is why she invited Seeta.

And look.

Lady Dwarka is also happy after meeting Seeta.

She is naive.

I will not let Lady Gautama's wish to be fulfilled.

She thinks my Dwarka is a child

to whom she will show a toy named Lady Seeta

and do as per her will.

Ahilya, what was the need

to involve Brother Tukoji in all this?

You know that he has a lot of work.

Do you not trust me?

Khanderao, I trust you. That is not the issue.

But you aware that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

had taken 400 people to Pune.

He did not go alone.

And it is not right for you

to go alone in disguise to Kishan Chaudhary's palace.

And my father also says that the more the merrier.

Fine.

Tell me this. What happened to Hiralal

and whatever Kaoji told us

did you tell that all to Brother Tukoji?

Yes, she told me.

So, Brother-in-law, what we are thinking.. - No, Ahilya.

Talking about such things out in the open is not good.

Let us go somewhere else to talk.

Okay, let us go. - Come.

What exactly is it that they cannot talk here?

Till yesterday, it was just one soldier.

Yesterday, Prince Khanderao had come with Ahilya.

He added one more soldier to guard them.

How do we go inside now?

I will try to get them removed from their position.

But keep in mind

as soon as the soldiers leave.. - I will burn this house down

and kill everyone in the house.

If you are thinking of burning down the house

you should do that at night.

There is a prayer session in the village deity temple.

All the villagers will go to the temple.

Except this family.

Because someone died in the family

no one can go to the temple.

So, it is decided then, Lord Dhanaji.

No one will be here to save them.

Brother, we need the original documents of that land.

Because the documents

that Brother-in-law Gunoji showed were not original.

Because the original documents of the land

will usually be with the owner of the land.

What we have is a copy of it.

So that we have an account of it all.

I know that, but.. - I want to see those documents.

Brother-in-law Gunoji said that he had seen them.

If we keep questioning him about it

he will not like it.

He will feel bad.

But Ahilya, what I have thought of is

I will secretly go to the landlord's house at night

and steal those papers.

Khanderao, you..

Brother, I will not be going dressed like this.

I will go in a disguise.

But still, I do not agree. It is very dangerous.

But Brother, father always says that

a king has to face dangers

for the welfare and safety of his subjects.

King Chhatrapati Shivaji also face a lot of dangers.

He would even put his life in danger most of the time

so that he can protect his kingdom and his subjects.

Right?

What are they whispering about?

I cannot hear them properly.

There is no other place where I can stay hidden

and listen to their conversation.

In Kishan Chaudhary's mansion..

Let us assume that you reach there.

But it is not an easy task to find out where the vault is.

You will not have enough time either

to search the entire house.

That means, before going into the house

you should know where the vault is.

Yes, Khanderao, Brother-in-law is right.

But how will be find that out?

If Ahilya is up to something

she does not give up so easily.

Hence, they are having such a serious discussion.

Then they must be discussing about the land.

Yes.

Until I find it out

I will have to follow her like her shadow.

Seeing you with these old toys

reminds me of your childhood.

It is true. Daughters grow up so fast.

We do not realise that.

I think

I played with these in my previous birth.

Why does our childhood end so fast?

Oh, dear!

You have arrived.

Seetabai, come..

May God bless you.

How are you?

As soon as I came here, I went to your room to meet you.

Really? - But you were not there.

Does anyone disappear like this after calling her daughter?

Oh, dear!

Daughter's home coming from her in-laws' house..

It is not an ordinary thing.

And the situation is not the same

that I ask you to eat what is available.

I need to extend hospitality to you, right?

Hence, after sending you the invitation

I went to the kitchen immediately.

And I was supervising there

whether everything is prepared as per your choice or not.

Lady Gautama.

Yes.

However

is there any special reason

that you have called Seetabai all of a sudden?

Why?

She is my daughter.

I wanted to see her. So I sent the invitation.

Moreover, daughters should visit their parents' house.

Even our courtyard should be looking brighter, right?

Dear

where is the son-in-law?

He is busy with something.

So he could not come this time.

Okay.

Greetings, Prince Khanderao.

Subhedar Malhar Rao is calling all of you.

Come.

Yes.

Have you called us? - Yes.

Come..

As Gangoba Tatya said

Peshwa Bajirao has rewarded us

Amin, Nimad, Rampura, Bhanpura

Maitpur, Zeerapur

Soundarsi, Pitalwar

and Khargon.

Due to that reason

Malwa has become bigger now.

It has become a small kingdom now.

Considering this

we need to make a big and important decision today.

Shall I go then?

You must have called Prince Khanderao

and Brother-in-law Tukoji.

Actually, I was with them.

Hence, I have come here.

What has made you think

that you cannot be part of this discussion?

Oh! But..

How can I.. I mean.. - Why?

You are the next queen of this kingdom.

Do you remember what you said?

'I will become a good queen if I get proper education.'

You remember, right?

A skilled, promising

and successful king or queen

must have the knowledge of all this and not only

scriptures, maths and language.

Okay?

So I was saying

that now Malwa is equivalent to a small kingdom.

Therefore Bajirao Peshwa has also said

that it should be considered

a kingdom.

So we must choose a city

as its capital

which will be the centre of power.

Father, we too will have a capital.

We will make sure our capital is grand.

It will be fabulous

such that everyone would be stunned.

Whatever you do

do happily.

Do as much as you can afford.

Not to show off others.

But yes, capital

is the pride and identity of a kingdom.

Our capital would also be the same.

Now take a look at this map.

Considering the geographical design of our kingdom

I feel

that it would be right to choose Indore

as our capital.

Yet, I want to know your opinion.

Tell me.

Your Highness, why Indore?

Rampura and Nimar are also there

which can be chosen as the capital.

And I think

Indore is not that developed yet.

It lacks facilities.

Your Highness, if we declare Indore as our capital

we will have to make a lot of efforts to arrange for things.

Rampura

is close to Gwalior, Gangoba.

The estate of Ranoji Shinde.

Although he is my friend

I do not find it appropriate if my capital

is close to the jurisdiction of another chief.

Yes, we could have thought about Nimar

if it was not far from the main road from Delhi.

To encourage trade

it is very important to be close to all the main roads

which connect us to big cities.

Yes, of course.

Your Highness, what about Khargone?

It is very near to the main road.

Khargone.

Khargone

is towards the south of River Narmada.

And during monsoon

River Narmada takes a formidable form.

In case of a flood

if we get attacked

it will become difficult for the soldiers

to move towards north, that is Delhi.

Indore is to the north of Narmada.

So, no problem will arise.

Not only Delhi

there are routes which leads to other cities.

The land there is fertile.

So, farming and trade can be productive.

I am thinking

of announcing Indore, the capital.

After the announcement

this name will catch the traders' eyes.

And everybody will like to expand their trade in a capital.

Gradually, this region will become

a favourite among the traders.

You are right.

Sire, for the capital

Indore would be the right choice.

Seetabai.

Look.

How are you?

I am fine. Good to see you here.

Wait.. She brought the sweets to taste.

Do not finish it all.

Then, you will not be able to have your food.

Lady Gautama has been looking after the kitchen since morning.

She had your favourite dishes prepared.

So, you should not fill your stomach with sweets.

My favourite dishes! - Yes.

Lady Gautama, why take so much trouble?

Not at all.

The one who has the right for all the good things..

This family knows how to carry on that tradition.

Moreover, a married daughter

should always be pampered at her parents' place.

This love and affection

will always be showered on Seetabai for life.

'Gautama's words are like a sharp edge of a sword.'

'She had said that after marriage'

'Seetabai belongs to her in-laws now.'

'Whenever Seetabai visits her parents' place'

'she will get all the love and affection.'

'And she has made sure'

'the rest of pampering is reserved for her son.'

Mother, I am happy to see

that still, my toys are kept in my chamber.

I thought, you have given all to Ahilya.

Seetabai, I cannot give it without your permission.

It is wrong to give someone's belongings to others.

What was yours will always belong to you.

It cannot be given to anybody.

Mother, I have no use of the toys.

Please pass them on to Ahilya.

Ladies, did you hear that?

My daughter is so humble.

Always be the way you are.

'Of course. Give away your belongings.'

'And Gautama will make sure it belongs to Ahilya.'

'Seeta is naive.'

'She does not understand the politics of our family.'

'But she wants to become a queen.'

'This way, she will be left behind.'
