Original subtitles

This temple of Mahakali lies between two Rajput territories...

Mirtagarh and Surjangarh.

For an eternity, the Goddess is offered a calf on Vijaydashmi.

They forget, even if mute...

A mother is a mother.

Their blind belief that the warriors of the state that beheads the calf...

It will rain in their province.

Water is more precious than even human life in this desert.

That is the reason why the warriors of each state attack each other.

Corpses pile up.

The winner would make the sacrifice.

And please the Goddess with enthusiasm and vigor.

It is said that clouds of rain gather in their skies by Goddess' grace.

But what about the lives lost?

The Resident of the English government met the priests.

A decision was taken From next year onwards...

A warrior from each state will come forth to make the sacrifice.

In the ensuing combat, the winner will make the sacrifice.

Life and death danced hand in hand.

Undoubtedly, the Goddess would be pleased.

But the fire of enmity between the states got fanned further.

One warrior had to die.

Time passed. The English left.

But the custom of sacrifice remains the same even today.

The reins of law lie in the hands of police officer Ganga Singh.

The reins of law lie in the hands of police officer Ganga Singh.

And the personal enmity is being nurtured by two princely families.

Maharaja Bhavani Singh heads the Mirtagarh clan.

His wife Maheshwaridevi.

And his only child, princess Divya.

And the younger brother of the Maharaja, Jaswant Singh.

On the other side is Maharaja Prithvi Singh.

His wife, Suman.

His younger brother, Devendra Pratap Singh.

And his son Prince Vijay Pratap Singh.

...whom Prithvi and his wife love as their own child.

It is said love blossoms even in the dust of enmity.

Divya and Vijay met in a fair and gave their hearts to each other.

But the minister of Mirtagarh and his son, Shakti Singh...

won't let the root of love grow.

Bless me, father. - Live long.

Hope that I am victorious and able to make the sacrifice to the Goddess.

The calf will be sacrificed.

But if the prince of Surjangarh too is sacrificed along with it...

Then the Goddess will be pleased and I'd be more so.

Father, what are you saying? - Yes, kill him.

If this happens, the enmity between Mirtagarh and Surjangarh...

won't die for generations to come.

They will only be concerned with killing each other.

Nobody will bother about the royal state treasure.

I swear by the Goddess, were I in Prithvi's place..

I swear by the Goddess, were I in Prithvi's place..

I wouldn't have stopped Shakti Singh's sword!

Even if he would have slashed you to pieces! I feel like...

completing Shakti's job myself. - What are you doing?

Calm down. Vijay is the only heir to our family.

Do you want to extinguish his life?

I'd have preferred to be childless than have a child like him!

I'd have preferred to be childless than have a child like him!

You are right.

My pampering and your love has made him a weakling.

He has become a coward!

From tomorrow I will teach you sword fighting.

And next year you will defeat Mirtagarh and teach them a lesson!

Brother-in-law is here.

Welcome, brother-in-law. - Your Highness, see who is here.

Bless me.

Live long. You've given me such joy by coming here.

I can't express how happy I am to be back home.

Where's your bride? - She came with me from abroad.

She stayed back in Bombay. Soon I'll get her back.

First you get married to a foreigner in a foreign land.

Now you'll trouble us to see her face. You're great.

That's true but tell him about your news. Or should I tell him?

What's going on?

Great! The crown prince of Mirtagarh is on his way!

My nephew!

How can you be sure that it will be a son?

It will be a son because I say so.

Because it's written in the books and that's what I say!

That's nonsense.

Haven't you seen anyone crazy with joy?

No. - Why are you lying?

I turn mad each time I see you.

The love that has touched you can turn to a cause of sorrow.

It would be best to give it up.

What are you saying? - What can I say?

I'm just a flute. The sound is created when somebody blows into it.

Then hear the sound of this flute.

I will prove your words and your knowledge false!

You mustn't say that. - I don't believe in it.

She believes in all this.

Read her palm. She's a true believer.

Your life is full of ups and downs.

But you will live your life by the support of a soldier.

Soldier...? - Yes, a soldier.

Soldier...? - Yes, a soldier.

Does this mean Madhu too will fall in love?

There's no bond stronger than that of love.

God Himself is tied in it. So what is man?

Do you hear? Now you too will fall in love.

Where are you lost?

When did you come? - How are you? You've grown so big!

I'm fine. - Greetings, sir.

Greetings, priest. How are you? Fine? - Yes, thank you.

Where are you lost, dear? This is my uncle Jassi.

I mean Uncle Jaswant.

Greetings. - Greetings. And you...?

My friend, Madhulika. She's the daughter of Ashokpal.

We address her as Madhu out of love.

Then I too will call her Madhu.

Uncle, let's sit. I'm so glad you came.

I was so lonely! - Lonely, really?

You probably don't know you'll soon have a brother.

I know. - Then why are you lonely?

Once he comes, you won't need anyone. Not even me.

Now where are you going?

I'm not needed here even now.

Now tell me how many enemies you killed in the war.

"Your life is full of ups and downs."

"But your life will be supported by a soldier."

"Tell, my friend..."

"reveal your secrets"

"By the pond the lass met a stranger"

"By the pond the lass met a stranger"

"She dared to lift her veil"

"She met a stranger and dared to lift her veil..."

"and quenched his thirst"

"and quenched his thirst"

"And love set her heart on fire"

"It rained..."

"and a love-story was made"

"A bangle-seller..."

"A bangle-seller..."

"who looked so innocent..."

"sold her some bangles..."

"and stole her heart..."

"and my body and soul"

"Thus, a love-story was made"

"It rained..."

"and a love-story was made"

"Since childhood till I grew up..."

"all I heard..."

"was about a prince and a princess"

"Today I realise, today I know"

"He's my prince charming and I'm his princess"

"And lo, a love-story is made"

I'm going to have a baby.

Honest? - Yes.

What are you doing?

The joys of the world are in these eyes.

How can I not kiss them?

I pray to God that my son should be like Vijay.

It will be a son. That I promise you.

I also promise you, he won't ever return defeated like Vijay.

I will train him to always return victorious.

"My life shall light up... in the magic of love"

"My unkempt tresses will lie... scattered on your body"

"My lips are keen..."

"to let my heart out"

"But my eyes refuse..."

"they are shy"

Why did you stop? Go on, sing.

You sing well.

Go on, sing. - I can't sing before you.

Go on, sing. - I can't sing before you.

Why?

I forget.

But why do you sing such songs at this tender age?

I'm no longer a child! - I never said you were.

But such songs are sung by those hurt in love.

Have you been in love, Madhu?

No, I'm in love.

You're right. Love happens.

You sound as if you too are in love. - Yes.

Who is she?

She's lovely.

And...? - She sings very well.

And..? - She makes you feel at home.

And..?

She enters your life and becomes a part of you.

You seem to be saying what's in my heart.

Who has become a part of your life?

Do I have to tell you this?

Ask your own heart.

Why? Don't you like me?

No, I like you a lot. But...

But?

Madhu is poor. She isn't a princess.

I don't think like this.

Then? - You are mistaken.

I was talking about somebody else.

She's as sweet as you. She sings but in English.

She's English. I met her abroad.

And I married her.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Go away, Vijay.

Why? - I'm scared.

Scared of whom? Me? Or scared of yourself?

Of the wall of hatred that stands between our families for 100 years.

I fear our love will be crushed under that wall.

Why don't you think that our love might demolish this wall?

Even if I lose my life trying...

For God's sake, don't say that!

If you are harmed, I too won't live.

Everyone has to die.

It is only love that does not die.

Never dies.

A sweet word is priceless.

I wish my tongue had got burnt before uttering such a bitter truth.

It would have been better.

But sir...

Princess Divya...

What happened to my child? - May God bless her.

But she's no longer a child.

She's in love with the prince of Surjangarh...

If your words turn to be lies, I'll chop off your tongue!

You may ask the princess.

They met at the fair. Matters grew serious.

He has grown so bold that he comes here to meet her!

If he comes here now, break his hands and legs and throw him out.

Then he said...

Where are you going? Sit there.

You too have a hand in all that has occurred.

Do you know a Vijay Pratap?

You also know that he is the prince of Surjangarh.

And he had come here.

Answer me! Your silence has answered me.

God knows I've loved you more than life itself.

But I can't stand if someone were to play with my honour.

Not even the apple of my eyes!

What's the matter? - Ask your dear daughter!

She's repaying your milk by placing her head at the enemy's feet!

Control her! And tell her she won't step out of the palace.

Shameless! You disgraced the family!

Fallen for the enemy's son!

Loves the son of the enemy! - Sister-in-law!

What are you doing? Don't hit a young girl!

Know what she has done? - I heard.

I feel like strangling her! - No, no.

You go. Divya is a mature girl. She will obey me.

Please go.

Will you side with them? - You have done such a deed.

You've put me in a corner. - You've lived abroad for years.

If you speak like this.. - Living abroad...

may change your thoughts, not blood. And our enmity is in our blood.

Then strangle me! Kill me!

No, my child. Control yourself.

You know uncle loves you.

Listen, I'm going out of town for a few days.

To bring your aunt. She's coming from Bombay.

Give me your word, you won't meet him till I return.

Promise me.

"No matter the restrictions..."

"lovebirds fly away"

"Fly away to the world of love..."

"to belong to someone"

"Whom has the heart ever heeded to?"

Mr Ashokpal! - Who...? Who is it at this hour?

What's the matter? - Hurry. Divan has called you.

Okay, but what's wrong? - Prince Vijay has come to the palace

Dad, don't go. - I must go.

Dad, don't go. - I must go.

Don't go. I won't let there be bloodshed.

I must go. It's the Divan's orders. - No!

Move aside. Move! Move away!

Father! Don't go!

Run away. - Leaving you?

For my sake! Go!

Sir, he is dead!

A sweet word is priceless.

Haven't you ever seen anyone die?

But His Highness didn't order us to kill him.

So what? - The result of this will be terrible.

There will be so much blood shed that both families will be ruined.

I will tell His Highness all. - You will tell him?

I'm going to bring Vijay's corpse. - Don't refer to my son as a corpse!

Who will come with me? - Vijay's father will go.

No brother. I will go.

You may come but remember I won't let there be bloodshed.

You won't have permission to carry weapons.

I am sorry for the boy's death.

God is my witness that I didn't want him dead.

Don't take my Vijay away!

Don't take my Vijay away!

I am coming, Vijay!

Bhavani Singh is a killer! Move aside!

You are responsible for the death of these innocents.

Everything is tied up. What do we do with this girl?

Does she have any family? - Dad, I don't think so.

Those who have nobody... - Have God.

No, they have Jamunabai.

Jamunabai? The brothel owner? - Don't you dare say that word.

Jamunabai teaches music.

Let's give her our condolences.

He was a good and loyal human being.

May his soul rest in peace.

Dear girl, we share your sorrow.

But what can be done? Who can dodge fate?

The man you wanted to see in your friends' arms killed your father!

Yes. We wanted to remove him from Mirtagarh.

But he fatally wounded your father and killed himself.

We wouldn't want the daughter of our employee to beg from others.

We'd want you to earn your living.

You sing very well.

Yes, master? - Take her to Jamuna's singing school.

Learn music and make a name for yourself.

Your father's soul will then rest in peace.

Okay, dear. We will take leave.

Stop.

Good day Your Highness. - Good day. This is my wife.

Good day Your Majesty.

Where are you going?

I'd definitely tell you if I knew.

What's the matter? All well? Is your father well?

Absolutely. Now he will never suffer.

Why are you speaking in riddles? Plainly tell me what's wrong.

Go inside the palace. You will find everything.

Carry on.

Master!

No! No!

You should have died before giving me this wretched news!

Now hear me out. Warn every child of Surjangarh.

Nobody will testify against Jaswant in court.

Because I will sentence Jaswant Singh to death! Not the law.

You're my wife. Whom will I touch if not you?

Come here. - You're not the man I married!

He was so nice! So gentle.

He wasn't a barbarian!

At least think about our child that you're carrying.

Why do you create life when you don't value it?

My child will be born.

I will give it my blood.

My milk.

But it will grow up to be a barbarian!

He will kill somebody!

Or somebody will kill him!

Please come to your senses.

There's no need to worry. But she's tensed.

Also shocked.

Your help is essential to reduce the tension.

If the stress doesn't reduce the child could be at risk.

Now you may leave.

All right, darling.

You may leave for England if you wish.

But I might not be able to accompany you.

I must shoulder the responsibility of the palace and the state.

I will go alone.

And my child will open his eyes there, where there's love.

Not hatred and bloodshed!

Jenny returned to England.

Prithvi Singh was sentenced.

Both families were drowned in sorrow.

But joys and sorrows go together.

In no time a wave of joys spread over the palaces.

Maheshwaridevi gave birth to Vikram Singh.

And Suman gave birth to Vinay Pratap.

"In her dreams, she saw the little Lord Krishna..."

"dark complexioned, and a flute in His arms"

"And curly hair"

No. No, Suman.

Don't ever bring Vinay here.

If he ever asks on growing up...

where his papa is... what will you answer him?

If he stays here, he will surely ask about you.

Why don't we send Vinay to England for education?

You're right.

It would be best to send him to England.

By the time he finishes education, I would finish my sentence.

And I will personally answer every question of his.

Jenny gave birth to Jaswant's daughter and died.

She made a will that..

The child won't go to India till she completes education.

Jaswant Singh was lonely.

"I'm a vessel, dry and thirsty"

"He's an ocean, so deep an illusion"

"My pot couldn't hold the ocean"

"Oh, how I was fooled"

"I was so crazy"

"And here I am, a legend in love"

"Oh, whose footsteps do I hear?"

"Why does my heart beat so fast?"

"On whose footsteps does my heart beat so faster?"

"Is it a stranger?"

"Or is it the one..."

"whom I tried hard to forget?"

"Some memories of yore..."

"made up a legend of love"

"What else do I do if not dance?"

"What else do I do if not grieve?"

"The mirror used to make me coy"

"Now I'm an unabashed, I dance and sing in brothels"

"Thus became of my love-story"

"Such is my story of love"

Madhu accepted Jaswant's love.

She found her lost love and Jaswant found a reason to live.

Did you send for us? - Remain standing.

Call him in.

Sir, I'm not at fault.

Do you know this man?

Yes, sir.

Was this man with you the day Ashokpal was cremated?

I can't...seem to recollect...

Son... - Yes sir. He was there.

And he took Ashokpal's daughter, Madhu along with him.

Yes, yes. He took her to the music university.

By now she's probably got some degrees too.

Music university or Jamunabai's brothel?

Sir, listen to me... - Shut up! Don't you have...

the sense to shut up when the master is speaking?

Sir, what are you saying?

Madhu was sold to Jamunabai.

The daughter of a decent family became the crown of a brothel!

Good God! Is that true? Scoundrel! Rascal!

What have you done? - A scum like him deserves to die!

A shameless man like me too deserves to die!

A small error on my part ruined the life of an innocent girl!

Father! - Leave me!

Master, stop him!

The past is the past.

Get rid of this body.

Hark my words. The truth is not dead with him.

Vicky, now you try it. - No, uncle.

Come on.

This is a toy of warriors. Don't be scared of it.

Sweet words are priceless. He will bring honor to your name.

The poor thing is frightened of fire crackers. He can't use a gun.

You're crying! You have to make the enemy cry!

I beg you, uncle... - If the future king of Mirtagarh...

is scared of gunshots, what will happen to the state?

No... - Fire a shot.

I say, shoot!

Stop!

Leave him alone.

What are you upto? Why are you scaring him?

I want to rid him of his fear. He's scared of gun shots.

That's because in the womb, he heard the gun shot fired by Prithvi Singh.

Maheshwaridevi sent her son to England away from hatred.

Burning for revenge, Jaswant kept waiting for Prithvi's sentence to end

Prithvi too was as eager to confront Jaswant Singh.

But fate had other plans in England.

Can you guess who this is? - No, Your Majesty.

But the shine in the mother's eyes say it's her son.

Yes, he's Vikram.

He has grown big.

He looks just like his Dad. - But his eyes are yours.

Who is the other boy? - His dear friend. His name is..

Vinay.

You're sweating.

You raise your hand if somebody speaks in front of you.

That's different but I'm scared of gunshots right from childhood.

Did you have an accident? - Can't recall even if I try.

It's just your imagination and we must get rid of it.

What are you scared of?

Imagine somebody is standing up front to kill Vinny. What'll you do?

See you're free from the fear.

But the girl is Indian.

She looks like she's from good stock. - Pretty too.

Won't you drop her home?

An Oxford student behaving like this?

I have to meet Prof. Hopman. I'll proceed.

Come along.

You told the police officer that I was with you.

Please also add that from now on you'll always be with me.

My name is Tanvi. My family calls me Tannu.

And your name? - My name is Vikram.

The people here call me Vicky.

You're not bad either but the drugs and the company...

Why do you want to ruin your life?

Anybody can go haywire in the crooked lanes of life.

I'll make a move or your college superintendent will be mad.

Vicky's friendship and the stupor of drugs don't go together.

It's your Papa.

How are you, my dear? When are you coming home?

When are you coming to India?

Don't say that. - Why do you always call me?

I don't want to talk to you.

Why do you hate Indians so? I too am an Indian.

You're an Indian girl.

Your Dad too is an Indian.

That is why my mother left him and brought me here in her womb.

After so much water under the bridge, they are still there.

He says he has shown my horoscope to an astrologer.

And I am to marry an Indian boy.

And if that is your destiny. - I will fight it.

Man can change his destiny.

Enough. Don't be foolish. Trying to fight fate.

When you find your Greek God you will lose to your heart.

My dear... daughter...?

This is somebody else's letter.

This is somebody else's letter.

Shall I read it?

I might meet her through this letter.

But I might meet another human being via this letter.

Might as well read it. My dearest son...

This letter...

It's mine.

Did you read it? - No.

Did you read mine...?

What a co-incidence. We're Indians from the same city.

Why don't you call your Daddy?

So you didn't read my letter?

But you must talk to your father.

Do you know how loving a father's heart can be?

Right. That is why your Dad never missed you.

And you didn't read my letter.

Not like this. We both lied. Both of us made a mistake.

So both of us should be punished. - Punished?

Your punishment is that you will talk to your Dad.

And my punishment is to follow you till you talk to him.

It's for this stupidity that I hate India and Indians!

Weigh your words before you speak.

Suppose you get married to an Indian.

What's your interest in my talking or not talking to my Dad?

I just want to see you happy. I want to see your Dad happy.

Call me if not him. I'll convey the message to him.

You'll be all right.

Are you all right, dear?

Thank God the child is safe.

The child was so glad to be in her father's arms.

You seem happier than her.

Do you know the girl you saved was Indian?

And you hate India and Indians.

But I love humans. Whatever country they belong to.

If man has no love for others, he's a beast not a human being.

I wanted to hear you say this.

Your soul is as pretty as you.

At least you accepted something. I liked talking to you.

"Hear my telephone number"

"Etch it in your heart"

"Please do not ignore my love"

"Please telephone me everyday"

"Under those golden tresses..."

"I guess I might fall into a slumber"

"You're drop-dead gorgeous"

"Every moment, you look at your watch"

"If you're in a tearing hurry..."

"promise me that you'll meet me tomorrow"

"Hear my telephone number"

"Etch it in your heart"

"The weather is so fine"

"And my beloved is cross, I got to placate her"

"Tell me, what's your programme?"

"Hark, I promise to you..."

"I won't stop following you, wherever you go"

"This love of ours will never end"

"Hear my telephone number"

"Etch it in your heart"

"Now there's nowhere to go"

"You have no other way out"

"Come, let's be friends"

"Else, go and kill yourself"

"I shall never desert you, as long as I live"

"This I promise... I shall never break my promise"

"Hear my telephone number"

"Etch it in your heart"

No, Vicky. I've brought very good news for you.

I've thrown out all the drugs that I had.

Is that so? By evening some more will come.

Never again. Not even in the evening of life.

Every slave to drugs says that.

Listen to me. You called me a slave.

I'm a salve but to you not to drugs.

Great. So Vicky is a drug.

Love is intoxicating. Try it once. It will be fun.

She's my friend Tanvi.

I mean Vinay Pratap Singh. - We've met earlier.

Really? Where? - Best if you don't ask.

Excuse me.

Neelu with an Indian boy?

But you hated Indians. - Love killed the hatred.

Where's the Neelu who wanted to fight destiny, to change destiny?

Looks like marriage...

Come on.

I wish some of this magic would rub off on my nut.

Who is that? - His friend. Ask him.

Who? Vicky?

Vicky's my cousin!

He's the crown prince of Mirtagarh, Papa's state.

You're from Mirtagarh. I'm from Surjangarh.

My Papa is a police officer in Surjangarh.

Then I have to help you.

Get after his life. From tomorrow.

We're going to London. You too could come there.

"My love, I'm drawn to you..."

"like a string tied to you"

"With love-string..."

"With love-string..."

"quietly and furtively..."

"you tied me"

"And here I come, drawn to you, my love"

"I've found my love"

"I got your message"

"And I found a deary intoxication"

"I consumed poison..."

"until I was drawn to you"

"Love is an intoxication beyond compare"

"Not my fault..."

"I did nothing"

"My heart is to be blame"

"And I was drawn to you..."

"like a string tied to you"

You can't leave unless you hear me out.

Okay, what is it?

Do you want me to go back to the world of drugs?

Your life belongs to you. You can do as you wish with it.

That's the sad part. I no longer own my life.

Then who owns it?

The master of my life is asking me questions.

Look Tanvi... I mean... - I've heard your decision.

I was wrong.

Believe me, I would never want you to go back to the world of drugs.

I don't want your sympathy.

You gave up so fast. I was putting you to test.

Is that true?

Master, it's your daughter from Oxford!

Neelima's? - Yes.

Is that Neelima? - Hello Papa.

This is your daughter Neelima.

Is all well? - Absolutely. I'm fine.

I'm coming to India!

Yes, I'm coming to India.

You're coming to Hindustan?

I'm glad Goddess has granted all my wishes!

My daughter is coming home. What else could I ask for?

When will you be here? - Before Diwali.

Take care and come soon.

On my release, I see all the joys of the world be reflected in these eyes.

But why is there fear along with joy?

You guessed it right. My heart trembles...

wondering where your next step will lead you.

Trust me.

Every step of mine will be taken for love and Surjangarh's welfare.

Sir... - Come in.

Some Chief sent flowers for you. - Place them here.

You may leave.

Nobody would be as happy at your release as I am.

Not even the prison walls stand between us now.

We'll meet at the fair on Dashmi. You must come.

Whose letter is this?

An admirer of mine.

Eager to meet me.

He will die of happiness when we meet.

When is Dashmi? - Dashmi..?

Yes, when will it fall? - I forgot to give you the good news.

Our son Vinay will return on Dashmi.

Really? - Yes. - Then we'll celebrate it with style!

Tell the priest to begin preparations.

This time I will offer the sacrifice to mother.

You, sir? - Yes.

Send this news to Mirtagarh.

On Dashmi, Prithvi will meet...

Good day, Your Majesty. - Good day Ma'am.

What's going on? - Getting ready for Vijaydashmi.

Bless me.

You've come here. Must be something special.

Yes, it is.

What is it, sister-in-law?

Vicky and Neelima will soon return home from England.

You've given me real good news.

I too will give you some good news.

Prithvi Singh has been released.

If the mother Goddess so desires, I'll free him from the jail of life.

No! No, brother-in-law.

Will this bloodshed ever end or not?

Are you trying to protect the murderer who killed your husband?

No. I want to protect what is left.

You are alive. My son Vicky.

A motherless child, Neelima.

I don't want to see the day when she too loses her father.

So you think Prithvi Singh will kill me too?

The sword of hatred is not sharp only at one edge.

It's sharp at both ends.

You can see your widowed sister-in-law.

There must be a widow in Surjangarh too.

There too a mother must be crying for her lost son.

That's all I came to tell you.

Nobody from the palace will tell Vicky how his father died.

And at whose hands.

Nobody will tell him.

I myself don't want Vicky to find out.

Or the sword of vengeance will be in his hands.

My sword has the right to Prithvi Singh's blood! Nobody else.

For God's sake, put this sword from where it can't be removed.

You belong to a family of warriors! Yet you talk like this?

Who told you that a warrior's wife doesn't have a heart?

When a sword cuts, it's not on a man's neck but a mother's womb!

I beg you. Stop all this.

Or shut my eyes...

so I don't have to see my family being erased.

I don't believe my eyes.

You look so pretty.

Really? Where's Vicky? - Somewhere behind.

Did he meet an air hostess?

Mother...

When one is so happy that joys spill over..

Then it spills out of the eyes.

Come.

Prince Vinay Pratap Singh is here.

Live long.

You're even better than what I'd imagined.

Come.

Will anyone believe that this is the first time I'm seeing you?

You never came to England.

I knew there would be many questions whenever you returned.

Come with me to the temple for the prayers.

Every question of yours will be answered.

What prayers? - Today is Dashmi.

The Goddess will be made an offering. She will be appeased.

So that it rains on our land.

It will rain.

Do the rain clouds ask before they shower...

whether an offering is made or not?

Today we'll go to the temple of the Goddess and make an offering.

What offering? - Of a calf.

And this sacrifice will bring rain to our land.

Wouldn't it be better to pierce the clouds and make it rain?

Uncle might do that but there should be some clouds.

All warriors will be present in the temple. You'll come with me.

Sure. - No. You won't go.

Why not?

A waiting mother's eyes have hardly seen you.

Come with me.

You said all warriors would come. Vinny too will be there.

Who will come? - Me. I will also come.

Won't you be scared? - No. I'll lay my head...

on your shoulders if I feel scared.

Will this poor thing be sacrificed? - Yes.

I can't watch that. - Then go home.

I've changed my mind. I'm staying right here.

How are you?

Is that your papa? - Yes. And that's your papa?

Do you see that calf? It's going to be sacrificed.

God knows which century they live in.

Why don't you think of some way to save it?

Undo its tether and it will run away.

Then put the tether around my neck. I'll stand there.

When will you grow up? - When we have kids.

Then they will be kids and I'll grow up.

I'm talking about the calf and you're talking about our kids!

When a tradition becomes a part of religion...

Then breaking it is impossible.

I see Divya and Vijay.

A sweet word is priceless.

What's the matter? - Prithvi and Jaswant...

have reached the temple. - Did you see them?

Yes.

The fear is there might be bloodshed over who will make the sacrifice.

I think my life will be spent saving their lives.

They will kill each other!

Priest! Stop them! - Today nobody can stop them.

Move aside!

Praise be Mother Jagdamba!

Move away.

Today the police has made the offering to mother.

What have you done? Government has no right to interfere in our affairs.

The government will decide that.

How are your wounds?

Ordinary scratches. They'll be fine in a day.

You call these scratches? Do you know how much blood you lost?

What else is a warrior's blood for?

But a fight to make a sacrifice? - Sacrifice is just a ruse, Vicky.

I have old accounts to settle with him.

What accounts? - It's a long story.

There was a call for you from Oxford. A girl.

She'll be calling again. Come on.

I'll talk to uncle. Then I'll come down.

You can talk later. Her call must be coming through.

See you later.

I met her in Oxford. She too studied there.

Do you know that girl is the daughter of my enemy?

Enemy? I only know his name is Vinay.

And he is a dear friend.

Vijay Pratap too was dear to me.

Probably more than you.

But he made just one mistake.

Fell in love with the enemy.

I never forgave her for that. Not even after her death!

I lost control on seeing the bodies of the children.

And I killed Bhavani Singh!

And I got imprisoned.

Before the prayers you asked why I didn't want to see my son.

This is the answer to that question.

Prithvi Singh's blood flows through your veins.

After today, you will not meet the daughter of my enemy.

I don't want you to meet him.

Friendship can be forgotten not enmity.

Did you hear me?

Yes Papa..

Only today have I realised this.

Give me some time. I have to think about Vicky too.

Good day Your Majesty. - Welcome.

This is my daughter, Tanvi. We call her Tannu out of love.

They seem to know each other well.

They studied together at Oxford.

Son, show her the palace.

Oxford and London are in the same place.

But lifeless. - Why?

Because Vicky is not there.

I'd thought I'd stay for a few days without you.

But I couldn't so I came here.

Tannu said Vicky helped her a lot in London.

She faced some problems that Vicky solved for her.

Vicky is sensible and good.

It won't do if kids don't help each other abroad.

You are right.

I'm glad our parents already know each other.

We won't have a problem.

What is it? - A chant.

There's an amulet which is very helpful.

If the loved one strays.. - The amulet draws him close.

Shall I give you one?

Give it to me.

Both of them seem the same.

And what an ailment. It will kill me.

It's easy to give your life but difficult to live without love.

We gypsies have a song. The words go like this...

Losing life is better than losing your heart.

How sweet. Sing it for us.

"Let not the heart be lost..."

"no matter if life is lost"

"Let not yourself fall in love..."

"no matter even if you lose your life"

"Even the flowers spew fire"

"In love, sleepless are the nights"

"Let not sleep be lost..."

"no matter even if life is lost"

"Let not sleep be lost, no matter even if life is lost"

"Let not the heart be lost..."

"no matter even if life is lost"

"This heart is crazy, though"

"It's fragile like glass"

"Let not the glass break..."

"even if you lose your life"

"Let not the glass break, even if you lose your life"

"Let not the heart be lost..."

"no matter if life is lost"

"Let not yourself fall in love..."

I'm very scared.

Once you were scared to come to me and today you've come fearful to me.

So..?

Papa told me there's... -...blood relations between us.

What? - Wanting to kill each other.

This is such a grave problem and you crack jokes about it.

If crying helps, I'll do it.

Will you start or should I?

I think it would have been better if we hadn't returned from England.

I've seen people losing the game of life and wishing they weren't born.

There is a problem but we must face it.

It's no petty storm.

Many ships will be wrecked. Many ports destroyed.

Only they will survive who won't leave their partners.

Did you call for me?

Once again you went to meet the daughter of my enemy!

Yes.

Why?

Because apart from being your son, I'm also a human being.

I too have some feelings.

There's no place for feelings in the life of a warrior.

He only lives for his honour.

And he dies for those he loves.

Never lose sight of the fact that an enemy is always an enemy!

Everything dies. Animals, birds...

Why doesn't hatred die?

Do you think your words will extinguish the fire consuming me?

No! In fact it will rage some more.

And you want to incinerate your son's feelings in this fury.

And you are trying to toy with my feelings.

Get this clear. Henceforth you will not meet that girl!

That is my final decision.

Today is your fathers' death anniversary.

Offer some flowers as homage.

He will bless you from wherever he is.

Wipe the tears. You know my brother hated tears.

I know but..but...

My delicate daughter..

How come father and Divya died on the same day?

Fate can be strange.

Why did you make their shrines here?

Why not with the warriors of Mirtagarh?

I'm coming.

Mother!

Aunt!

What is wrong with mother? - I guess she has fainted.

Let's take her to the palace.

Prince. Please come in.

Take a seat.

I swear you will live for a 100 years.

Both of us were praising you with every sip.

Do you take soda or water? - I don't drink.

Despite staying abroad for so long?

One sweet word is priceless.

You are a replica of your father.

He too never touched liquor.

I never saw Papa. I will always have that sorrow.

What had happened to him?

His time was up.

Was he unwell? - No, hale and hearty.

We had gone to the fields. When we returned he was no more.

Didn't you make inquiries? - Each had a different tale.

Some said it was an accident. - Others said...

They heard gun shots.

Gunshots..?

We didn't believe it but his death was not natural.

You're such an old employee. Didn't you make inquiries?

The man had departed. What was the point of an inquiry?

Funny. Nobody says anything.

My sister, Divya too on the same day...

Sweet words are priceless. It was destiny.

Think how much father and daughter loved each other.

I will fulfill the task you couldn't.

The war is to begin now.

Finally you thought of your pal.

One thinks of pals only in difficult times.

What difficulty? - A great problem.

Be clear. - Remember you once said...

So let's kill the problem.

What do we do? - Want to come for a hunt?

What do you want to hunt?

I'll hunt you down if I don't find anything else.

You will hunt me down?

Will I find a braver lion than you?

Okay. Where do we meet?

At my stud farm.

Drop your guns. Or I'll blow his brains out.

Throw your guns.

Scared you, my lion with feet of clay.

How are you? - Fine.

Let's go hunting. - Okay.

He threw me down on purpose.

You have thorns in your back.

With such love, you're pulling the thorns out.

Tell me your problem. I might be able to remove your thorns.

There is a load on my chest.

I kept something from you.

And it is said, secrets become walls between friends.

I don't want to lose your friendship.

You're becoming too dramatic. Tell me the problem.

I love Neelima.

This started in Oxford.

Our letters got interchanged and we met each other.

And we'd like to get married.

This happened in front of me and I have no clue.

But the good thing is our friendship will be cemented by relations.

And we will come closer.

When will you get married? I'll dance so much at your wedding..

That the world too will dance.

Marriage? That's the problem. - What?

I will solve your problem.

Don't pretend. You know your uncle will never agree to our marriage.

If I am willing, uncle too will agree.

If you can't talk to uncle I'll talk on your behalf.

You have made a compromise.

But who will explain to uncle to forget his brother's death?

There can be no compromise between my Papa and your uncle.

He will never forgive my Papa for killing his brother.

Your Papa killed Uncle Jassi's brother.

He killed my Papa!

Get a hold on yourself. I thought you knew everything.

Today I have found out everything.

Today I understand why I always feared gunshots.

Because I heard that gun shot in my mother's womb!

The bullet that left your Papa's gun.

And pierced my Papa's chest.

Where are you going?

To ask that woman who hid me in her womb some questions.

All these years she hid the light of truth from me.

What are you doing?

The task I should have done much earlier.

Where are you going? - Move away!

What's wrong? - Why didn't you tell me about father?

What didn't I tell you? - About his death.

Good God! - Today I have found out.

Whose gun fired the gunshot that still echoes in my ears.

And pierced my father's heart.

I didn't wish the fire of enmity and hatred to touch your life.

You did a mothers' duty but didn't spare a thought for the son's.

Your son kept embracing the murderers of his father!

Because of you! Only you!

Life and death are in God's hands.

If your God says, father had to die at Prithvi Singh's hands...

My God says Prithvi Singh and his clan will die at my hands!

No, my son, no!

For your mother's sake, throw this away. Throw it.

I've lost a lot.

I don't want to lose you. No...

You've learnt to live without father.

Now learn to live without your son.

No!

Have you gone mad? - Move away!

Don't do that! - Move away, mother!

No, son! - Move aside! Leave me!

Mother, move aside! I will kill him!

First kill me!

Move away!

If you kill him, you'll see me dead!

Get a car!

How is Vicky? No danger?

We're praying. So should you.

Aunt, come and sit there.

Excuse me but aren't you Vikram Singh's mother?

Yes and you are Vinay's mother.

Please be seated.

I've come to say that...

I'm praying for the long life of your child.

May God protect your husband.

I know the pain of widowhood.

I don't want another sister to face this curse.

Even if it be the wife of the man who killed my husband.

You are so selfless..

A woman's heart is large enough for the world's happiness.

What a strange quirk of fate.

Our sons loved each other in England.

Today they want to kill each other.

The sins of parents are paid for by their children.

How can mothers watch their children suffer?

But what can we do?

Surely we can do something.

We can raise our voices if not carry weapons.

Who will listen?

We can't keep quiet worrying about this.

A mother's duty doesn't end by giving birth.

It's a mother's duty to rear her children, protect them at every step.

I feel if the women of Surjangarh and Mirtagarh give birth to kids...

so they grow up to kill each other.

It would be better they don't beget children!

Die childless!

Desperation won't help, sister.

I've thought I'll protect my child. To Hell with shame and the veil.

I will beg if I have to.

I'll fight if I have to.

And if I have to sacrifice my life...

I'll do that too.

I won't say much but I do promise...

I will be with you when the time comes.

Where is Vicky?

In the ICU.

How is Vicky? - Doctors say he's not in danger.

Did you find out who shot him? - Yes. Vinay Pratap Singh.

Good day sir. - Good day. How is Vicky?

Thank God he and Prithvi Singh are now out of danger.

So Prithvi Singh's life has become longer.

Pardon.. - Nothing. Can I meet Vicky?

At the moment he's safe. - Take good care of him.

Don't worry.

Stay here and look after Vicky. - Papa, listen to me.

I'll come with you. - You stay here!

No, I'll come with you.

Some important job. - I'll come with you.

No, you can't come. - I am. - Don't be stubborn!

There's no need to apologise.

Man dances to circumstances. They are no tin his hands.

The tension between our families has increased so much..

...that it is impossible for love and friendship to survive.

Think about it. He's my Papa. Any girl would have reacted similarly.

But my bad luck is that it was Neelima not another girl.

I had lost control.

I did some introspection last night and came to the conclusion...

My life is with you, not with my family.

No. The story is over.

"Now there's nowhere to go"

"You have no other way out"

"Come, let's be friends"

"Come, let's be friends"

"Else, go and kill yourself"

You asked me to kill myself, didn't you? All right!

What happened? Who is she?

Some girl. Beats me why she charged into the wall.

Looks like she wanted to commit suicide.

Good God! She's his daughter, Neelima.

Now I know why she tried to commit suicide.

Hurry and get a doctor. Help me carry her in.

No need to worry. I've given her a shot to put her to sleep.

She'll sleep for awhile. - Thank you.

Is it Neelima? - No, Madhu.

Yes? - Madhu here.

I called to say Neelima is here, with me.

She is fine. You don't have to worry.

Thank God.

But how did she come there? - In her car. How else?

Cut the jokes. She was furious when she left here

A child looks cuter when it sulks.

You're supporting her. Do you know what she's done?

What? - She went to meet him though I forbade her.

Okay, now cool down.

Anger increases the distance between hearts not reduces it.

I'll explain to her in my own way.

Don't worry. Bye.

My baby.

Don't cry. Are you hurt?

I broke your car. - Don't worry about it.

Cars are nothing compared to you. I'm glad God saved you.

Come in. You'll be fine in a couple of days.

Sit comfortably.

Either you didn't understand me..

Or you considered it a joke.

Hence understand this clearly.

Henceforth you won't step out of this palace.

Nor can anyone come to see you.

What are you saying?

All the servants are at your disposal.

They will obey every command of yours except let you out.

And you can't talk to anyone over the phone either!

Listen to me... - Move aside!

Your Papa loves you but that doesn't mean you can be crazy.

Aunt.. - Who...?

What's the matter? - You know everything.

I feel suffocated here.

I only continue breathing. Maybe there'll be a guard on that too.

Don't be scared, dear.

I'm with you. What's wrong?

May I make a call?

To whom? - What madness is this?

Are you all right? - I'm alive.

But I don't want to continue living like this.

What happened?

Papa has put me under house arrest. I can't move out at all.

I can't come out but you can come here.

Love is not the be all of life. People do live without love.

I'm not one of those.

If you don't come here, I'll commit suicide.

Don't think I'm joking. You know I've tried it once.

I can attempt it again.

If you don't' come, you'll be responsible for my death.

And you'll never forgive yourself for it!

Is it true that you've imprisoned your daughter in the palace?

I think it would be best if you didn't interfere in this matter.

I sometimes forget that despite being everything I am nothing.

Try to understand. You know I have certain principles.

..which I can't break under any circumstance.

I know.

I also know that when God made my destiny..

He forgot to give me the joys of motherhood.

But it is in your fate.

So why do you want to erase this line of love from your life?

Yes sir?

Tell the Thakur Vinay from Surjangarh is here.

I wish to talk to him.

No point in this argument. My decision is firm.

I won't change my decision even if the world turns away from me.

And there's a Madhu included in the world.

If Madhu gets annoyed, she will go so far away..

that your voice won't reach her.

Master...

Just a minute.

What's the fire that you entered without knocking?

It's urgent. - Yes?

Why don't you speak?

The crown prince of Surjangarh Vinay Pratap is here.

He has come here?

That's good or I'd have to go there to look for him.

What's the command?

How should you treat a man who toys with the honor of Mirtagarh?

Do I have to tell you that?

But he wants to meet you.

Meet me? Okay, bring him in.

I'm going. I hope I won't be too late.

What are you doing? - Following Thakur's orders.

The prince of Surjangarh has landed up here.

My Vinny is here! Open the door!

Or I'll kill myself! Tell Papa he'll see Divya's body!

Open the door, Please. I'll kill myself!

Tell Papa he'll see Divya's body!

Open the door. Let sir in.

Good day sir.

Sorry that I can neither bless you in return for your greeting..

Nor can I hope for your long life.

Even I don't wish for a long life.

But I'd surely want your blessing to lead a short life full of love.

Since when has Surjangarh started begging for blessings?

Since falling in love with Mirtagarh.

I've come to ask for Neelima's hand.

Don't you dare take the child's name!

I'll chop off your tongue!

Don't try to threaten or intimidate me!

Education in England has changed my thoughts not blood.

Even today I am a warrior of Surjangarh who can give tit for tat.

Do you know where you are standing right now?

Yes.

Does Prithvi Singh know you have come to my door?

No.

I've come risking my life...

to explain to you as long as a warrior's duty is a life for a life..

This war will never end.

Sir, you too have lived in England.

You've seen the world.

Then why do you refuse to accept this truth of life?

The truth is there's only one relation between our clans.

Animosity!

This fire has never been put off nor will it ever be extinguished.

Only because you want to extinguish fire with fire.

Sir, fire doesn't douse fire. Water puts it out.

So you've brought the water to put it off from England.

Not me alone, Neelima too.

You took her name again! - I've come here for her sake.

I've come to ask a father for his daughter's smile.

Don't try to rouse my emotions.

My emotions left with Divya.

They turned to cinder in the pyre of Maharaja Bhavani Singh.

The same wounds are on the heart of Surjangarh.

Wounds heal when you apply balm not by scratching them.

I think I've heard more than enough of your nonsense.

You may leave.

You can't give your daughter her happiness.

But you can at least save her life. She will commit suicide.

You may leave.

She has attempted it once. She can do it again.

Worry about your own life not my daughter's.

I want you to return alive to Surjangarh!

I will return alive.

But remember if your daughter does something crazy...

You'll be responsible for her death.

Then keep answering your conscience.

Open the door! Please!

Aunt!

Please don't leave me here! I'll come with you.

I spoke to your Papa. He refused.

End of the matter. - I don't know that.

I'm coming with you! - No, Neel.

I can't take you along. Not like this.

Sweet words are priceless.

You were right, young man.

The journey of your life ends here.

Sir, The Thakur has ordered that he leave here unharmed.

Move out of my way! - Stop her!

A sweet word is priceless.

This spot has become a place of salvation for Surjangarh.

Before you, your brother Vijay Pratap attained salvation here.

And he was freed...

by me.

Now..it's your turn.

No! No! My son! No, he killed my son!

Sir, this snake bit my son!

He killed my child!

When I spoke to Vinay and asked him to leave..

Why were you eager to kill him?

Because he was going to elope with Neelima!

He was taking your daughter away!

Is this true?

No, Papa.

Is this true?

No, Papa! It's a lie!

Then what is the truth?

Answer me! - I wanted to go with Vinay.

Because he is my life!

Did you hear that?

Are you saying this to me?

To your father!

After all that I'd explained! Do you remember?

I feel like shooting you right now!

Kill me! This life was given to me by you!

You have every right to end it!

Kill me!

Kill me, Papa.

No! You bastard!

What have you done, Madhu?

Somebody call the doctor!

Send the car. Hurry! - No...

It's too late.

I...

I am standing before my God.

I swear by his feet..

I've never asked you for anything.

But today I ask you...

Will you give it to me? - Ask for it.

Promise me that after today...

...you will never hold a weapon in hand.

Let Vinay and Neelima go.

Let them go.

Keep this promise and make my final journey peaceful.

I give you my word.

I promise you.

What has happened?

Go away from here. Go.

Go away.

Go away!

Go away!

Are you all right, son?

Why did you go to Mirtagarh last night?

To talk to Jaswant Singh.

In spite of knowing that his men killed your brother?

Yes. - Did his dogs attack you?

They did but I killed them all.

Killed all..but not Jaswant..

He is my prey.

No. He is alive.

I saw a warrior break down today.

He has sworn never to lift a weapon.

I've brought his honour with me.

Accept her as your daughter-in-law and bless her.

The daughter of my enemy in my own house!

And you want me to accept her as my daughter-in-law!

No! Go away.

Papa, what do you want?

Do you want your son to hold a girl's hand and leave it?

She left her family, honour, everything for my love.

Should I throw her out?

She has to leave this place!

And if I refuse to send her?

Then you too may leave with her.

Jaswant Singh will embrace you.

And add to your father's honour.

By asking me to embrace Jaswant Singh.

You have slapped the love of your son.

You may keep your family honor.

I'm taking Neelima back to England.

Go wherever you feel like.

I will consider that I never had a son.

Thakur Jaswant Singh has sworn never to touch a weapon.

And Prithvi Singh is still alive.

That is fair.

The man who Prithvi Singh shot..

He wasn't Jaswant Singh's father! He was my father!

Priest, arrange for the prayers.

I will make the offering on behalf of Mirtagarh.

And make sure Prithvi Singh hears about it.

So he can come in front of my sword.

There should be men here to stop him entering.

Sir, the Queen of Mirtagarh wishes to meet you.

The Queen mother who gave birth to my enemy's son..

What are you doing at my door?

I've come to ask you for something.

The warrior queen of Mirtagarh that thirsts for my blood..

Who should brandish a dagger..

Why is she standing with folded arms?

Because this warrior queen is first a mother.

And then a queen.

And a mother will do anything for her offspring.

What has happened to your child?

He has decided to make the offering on Dashmi.

You should be proud of such a son.

He is ready to sacrifice himself for the duty of a warrior.

You have offered a lot of blood to the warrior duty.

I request you not to confront my son.

No...No! No!

This is impossible!

What will I tell the people of Surjangarh?

What will I tell my conscience?

What will you answer this widowed mother?

..who forgave you the murder of her husband.

She stands at your door to protect her child.

Don't put me in a fix! Queen Mother, don't do it!

I'm simply a mother, not a queen mother.

She stands before you with her palms out stretched.

No! No!

Go away, queen mother.

I promise you...

I won't quench my sword's thirst with your son's blood.

You check us in. Mom was very sad when I left home.

I'll call her.

Go ahead.

Vinay here. Please give the line to mother.

She won't be able to come to the phone.

Why? - She's busy trying to placate Prithvi Singh.

What's wrong with Papa? - He's very upset.

Tomorrow is Dashmi.

And Vikram Singh has challenged Surjangarh to make the offering.

The eyes of all Surjangarh is on the royal family.

Now how do we explain to all that the king in a fit of generosity..

...that his sword will not be raised on Vikram Singh.

Vikram Singh is screaming from the rooftops that Prithvi is a coward.

Brothers, Vikram Singh of Mirtagarh is here to make the offering

Brothers, Vikram Singh of Mirtagarh is here to make the offering

Any warrior of Surjangarh wanting to comply may come to the temple.

Any warrior of Surjangarh?

Is there no warrior in Surjangarh? - All the lions are out grazing.

And we hear bangles are selling like hot cakes in Surjangarh.

Isn't there a single warrior in Surjangarh?

Now Vikram Singh will make the offering for the Goddess' blessing.

Hold it.

I'll make the offering.

Mother, Vicky has gone to the temple to make the offering.

I know. - And Vinay has gone to stop him.

What? - They will decide by the sword.

Kill him, Vinay!

Teach a lesson to Mirtagarh. Kill him, my son.

Stop it, son. - Mother, move away!

Where are you going?

They will kill each other. Stop them

Kill him!

Bravo, hit him, my son.

You forget these wounds aren't hurting him...

but tearing a mom's heart.

Take a look.

Mother...

His mother's heart too must be in this condition.

Repay the debt of your mother's milk. Wound him!
