Hey.

Sir.

- Are you fine? - Where were all of you?

Send the medical team immediately.

There is no need to worry.

This is not my blood.

I heard gunshots.

When I came here, some people tried to attack me.

It's good that I snatch the gun from their hands.

And I fired at them in self-defence.

One person is here.

The other is there.

Two of them escaped from the tunnel.

Find out whether it's a terrorist attack.

Sir.

Did you know about this tunnel?

Bloody fool! Why are you staring at my face?

What kind of lousy security has been hired for Raj Bhavan?

I will call the Commissioner immediately.

Useless idiots.

Hello. Come in. Come in.

Adi.

I have been trying to call you for a long time.

Where were you guys?

Adi, let's go.

Where is Prashik sir?

Adi, let's go.

I have offered another sacrifice to you today.

My Prabhu, my commander.

I won't let his sacrifice go in vain.

Lord Kalabhadra.

Despite being the real heir of Vijayanagara's wealth,

my ancestors had to face penury.

I have promised my ancestors.

I will definitely find my family's treasure.

Lord Kalabhadra.

Show me the way to the hidden treasure.

Gurudev, there is a small obstacle.

But I will find the treasure very soon.

A guru's duty is to guide his disciple.

It's your wish whether you want to take that path or not.

But remember. Destiny doesn't wait for anybody, Ramachandran.

I will definitely fulfil the promise

I made to my ancestors, Gurudev.

The treasure isn't far away.

I will give you the honorarium very soon. I promise you that.

I will be waiting.

Priyal, are you sure this place is safe?

It's a run-down theatre.

It's been in litigation from the time I was doing my internship.

Nobody comes here.

Tell me something, bro.

What if you had died instead of Mr. Prashik today?

What would I have done?

What would I have done, bro? Where would I have gone?

I could have lost you today, bro.

I love you, bro.

And I can't afford to lose you.

What is all this?

We don't want the treasure.

All I want is for you to be safe.

We need to leave right now. Okay?

We need to leave right now.

Come on, bro.

Get up, bro. Please. We need to leave.

It's too dangerous. We need to leave, bro. Understand?

We can't stay here for even a single moment. Please!

Adi. Adi!

I cannot go back.

Do you get it, bro?

If you want to survive, there is no other choice.

Please make him understand. What is he talking about?

Bro, we need to leave. You could have died.

- You've got no choice. - Adi, please try to understand.

Mr. Prashik lost his life so that I could continue the hunt.

Dixit sir died so that a Shiledar could fulfil his duty.

My father fulfilled his duty and didn't even care about his life.

How can I go back?

Try to understand.

You go back.

I won't go back without you.

Adi, please don't be emotional.

Try to understand.

I am a Shiledar. This is my destiny.

Please go back.

Fine.

You are a Shiledar, brother.

So you fulfil your duty.

But I am...

your younger brother.

So let me fulfil my duty.

I cannot leave you and go.

I am going to be with you.

What's the worst that will happen? We will die.

At least we will die together.

My emotional drama is over.

What do we have to do next?

We have to first open the box.

How?

Dr. Pratap Chandrarao.

Who is he?

Look. Something is written on the box in Modi script.

- Hmm. - I think

it's a riddle or it could be a clue.

Only the person who has knowledge

of ancient languages can read it.

And the only name that comes to my mind is Dr. Pratap Chandrarao.

Do you know him personally?

Why will he help you then?

Because like us, he is also searching for something.

And our destination leads us to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

I am sure he is going to help us.

Where will we find him?

In Alibaug.

Let's do one thing.

Let's spend the night here.

We will leave early tomorrow morning.

Hmm.

And don't talk about dying again.

Sir. Sir.

- Yes. - Sir,

according to the CCTV footage,

these three people entered first.

Yeah. Yeah. It's them.

This man fired at me.

TREACHERY

I want to talk to you.

Tell me.

What happened?

I am an undercover police officer.

Police officer? But you said you are a lawyer.

No.

Two years ago, after clearing my sub-inspector exam,

I was going to join duty...

when Governor Ramachandran recruited me for a special assignment.

Governor Ramachandran.

It means you were giving him updates

about all our movements, Priyal.

Yes.

But I didn't know that there would be a fatal attack on us.

I never even imagined that.

My job was to inform the governor about Dixit sir's each movement.

I tried to tell him many times that

Dixit sir cannot commit any misdemeanour.

But I was silenced every time

because he knew how important this job is for me.

After my father's death, I had to take care

of my mother and the house, Ravi.

I was helpless to do this job.

Unknowingly, I helped the governor in all his misdeeds.

I will never be able to forgive myself

for whatever happened to Dixit sir and Prashik sir.

I was using this phone to communicate with the governor.

It contains a lot of evidence against him.

It might be useful to you.

I am really sorry, Ravi.

I am sorry, Adi.

If possible, please forgive me.

Priyal.

I can understand that you did all this unknowingly.

But now, after knowing the governor's truth,

will you let him go so easily?

Don't you want to punish him

for what he did to us and you?

We will have to expose the governor in front of the world.

This is the only way we can prove our innocence.

To do that, we will have to reach the treasure

that he is trying to find, before him.

And we will have to do it together.

Because our biggest strength

is our faith in each other.

You can trust me. I promise.

This is serious negligence by the state police.

I admit that I have a few disagreements

with the state on certain matters.

But that doesn't mean they can be inefficient

when it comes to law and order.

How did a few people break the security and enter Raj Bhavan?

Thank God I was lucky.

The bullet didn't hit me.

Otherwise, all of you would have been

attending my funeral today.

There should be a high-level inquiry of this incident.

If this could happen to a governor, just imagine.

Will a common man feel safe in the state?

Thank you.

- Hello. - Yes, sir.

Bishwajit Mitra.

Intelligence Bureau, Pune.

I have come here for a follow-up of Judge Dixit's murder case.

I believe our cases are connected.

Hello.

I want to meet Dr. Pratap Chandrarao.

Last night a murder took place

in Raj Bhavan's secret tunnel.

Two of the intruders were killed in the scuffle.

According to the police investigation,

the other two intruders are absconding.

Stay with us to find out more.

Yes. How may I help you?

My name is Dr. Ravi Bhatt, ma'am.

They are my colleagues. Aditya and Priyal.

Ma'am, we are vloggers.

We have a history channel.

And we are huge fans of Pratap sir.

We have come all the way from Pune

especially to take his interview, ma'am.

All that is fine.

But sir doesn't meet anybody without an appointment.

It's okay. It's okay, ma'am. Thank you.

Bro, leave it. I told you. We are just wasting our time

by coming here.

Because our 80,000 subscribers

fall in the age group of 20-25.

Pratap sir won't be interested in connecting with them.

It's okay. It's okay, ma'am. Thank you. Thank you.

Come on. Let's go.

Hold on.

What name did you say your name was?

Dr. Ravi Bhatt, ma'am.

Dr. Ravi, please come in.

I will try to figure something out.

- Thanks, ma'am. - Thank you.

Hey.

Since when do we have 80,000 followers?

Well played.

- Dr. Ravi Bhatt. - Hi.

Please come in.

Come, guys.

Thanks.

- What is the name of your channel? - Sorry?

Your YouTube channel.

- The-- - The Past with the Curious.

History channel.

You said 80,000 followers.

That's not even 8,000.

I meant to say, ma'am, it will become 80,000 after sir's interview.

- Yes. - Excuse me.

- Yes, ma'am. - Is this some kind of a joke?

No. No. No. It's not a joke, ma'am. Look--

- All of you leave immediately. - Ma'am, please don't get angry.

- Or else I am calling the security. - No, ma'am.

Look. We want to meet sir

- for only five minutes. - Hello!

- Ma'am. Ma'am. - Security!

- Ma'am, it's very important. - Security.

- Security. Throw them out. - Hold on. Hold on.

There is no need for security.

Ma'am, we have a history channel.

Sir, I am really sorry. But it was very important to meet you.

- Who are you? - Sir, my name is Dr. Ravi Bhatt.

I have been following you for many years.

I am a huge fan of yours. Sir, I have read all your books.

What can I do for you?

Sorry, ma'am. I will explain everything to you.

Sir, we need your help.

Look, whatever I know, I have written it in my books.

Please have a read of it.

Sir, please see this once.

What's the problem?

- Ma'am, only for ten minutes. - Ma'am.

I need your help to open this.

It belongs to the 16th century.

Something is written on it in Modi script, sir.

Sir, if we crack what's written, I am sure

we will get the password to open the box.

Where did you find this?

This...

Sir, we are video bloggers.

We create history-based videos.

Once we were shooting in an underground tunnel.

And we stumbled across this box.

Stumbled across it?

You found such a valuable thing casually in a tunnel?

Sir, I strongly believe that

there is an important code inside the box.

- A code that can-- - Lead you to a treasure.

Right?

Right?

Young man.

I have met many people in my life

who have spent their whole life hunting for some treasure.

They have found only stories.

Exactly like the one you have brought.

Sir, if there is no treasure,

why did so many people lose their lives?

Why is there so much bloodshed for the treasure even today, sir?

I know you know it, sir.

Sir, please help us open this.

You will get all the answers.

We have very little time. Sir, please.

Please sit. I will be right back.

I am unable to find my glasses.

Please sit.

Sit. Sit.

Please sit.

Alibaug Police Station.

Sir, your glasses?

I thought it was inside. But it isn't there.

Maybe here.

Sir, even after seeing this if you say there is no treasure,

I will go back.

Please trust me, sir.

This is one part of the treasure's key.

The treasure of the Marathas.

And this is not my hunch, sir. This is my belief.

If this key is what I think it is,

it's the key to the treasure of Vijayanagara Empire.

The treasure that was given to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

The treasure of the Vijayanagara Empire?

What has that got to do with the Marathas?

There is a connection.

Once upon a time, the Vijayanagara Empire

was the most powerful and prosperous empire in the world.

But then

times changed.

Gradually, it became weaker.

Enemies took advantage of that and attacked the empire.

Then, Emperor Raja Raya gathered

all the gold, precious diamonds and gems,

mounted it on 1,600 elephants,

and sent it somewhere far away.

This...

This is that treasure.

That was when Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

began his conquest of South India.

One day, two people came to meet him.

An old man and a child.

The old man was Vijayanagara Empire's royal guru.

And the child was the empire's heir.

That night, the royal guru handed over Vijayanagara Empire's

entire treasure to Shivaji Maharaj.

But why?

For the establishment of Hindavi Samrajya.

Because they knew that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

was the only valorous warrior

who had the courage to fight against the Mughals

and to hoist the saffron flag again.

Maharaj handed over the treasure

to Bahirji Naik for safekeeping.

He was the one who formed an exceptional troop of Shiledars

because of whom nobody could get hold of the treasure till date.

But you never wrote anything about it.

Why?

Because I had no historical evidence

to prove it.

Today I have it.

Come.

POLICE

Gaitonde.

Yes, Mitra. Tell me.

We are going to reach Alibaug.

Tell me something.

The second guy whose body was found,

the one who had scars on his face,

was any phone recovered from him?

Phone? No.

We didn't recover any phone.

Strange.

He had a pistol worth lakhs.

But he didn't have a phone.

Let's go.

This has been written in Modi script.

Here.

"The third day of Phalguna

"Krishna

"Paksha.

"1551."

"The third day of Phalguna month's Krishna Paksha.

"1551."

That's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's birthday.

It means his date of birth is the password.

It must be as per the Hindu calendar.

Zero.

Three.

One.

Two.

One.

Five.

Five.

- One. - Yes.

What happened?

Open it.

It won't be so simple.

I think we will have to translate the words correctly.

Wait.

In my childhood, my grandpa used to give me such riddles, sir.

With numbers hidden in it.

There was only one system to decode it.

Katapayadi.

Katapayadi, sir.

Kattappa? What are you saying, bro?

- Translate it in Hindi. - Adi, Katapayadi.

What does it mean?

It's an ancient Indian encoding system.

Numbers are assigned to words and phrases

in order to remember them.

How do we decode it then?

That should be simple.

Actually, it's not simple.

But they made it simple.

Katapayadi has a chart.

Each letter has a corresponding number.

One for Ka.

Two for Kha.

- Oh. - Adi, do one thing.

Find the Katapayadi chart online quickly.

- And tell me the numbers. - All right, bro.

Did you find it, Adi?

Found it. Found it. Got it.

Okay.

Pha-Ga-N.

Pha-Ga-N.

Two. Three. Zero.

Five.

Ka-Na.

One. Five.

Six.

- Okay. - T-T-Ya.

Six. Six. One.

One. Three.

Sha-Ka.

Five. One.

Six.

Pa-Da-Ra-Sha.

One. Nine. Two. Five.

One. Seven.

A-Ka-Va-N.

Zero. One. Four. Zero.

Five.

- Lord Ganpati. - Glory to him.

It's not opening, Ravi.

Try it harder.

Bro.

It's correct.

- What happened? - Now?

Yeah.

In Katapayadi, numbers are written in reverse order.

- Adi. - Bro.

Tell me the numbers in reverse order.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Five. Seven.

- Seven. - One.

Six.

Three.

One.

One.

Six.

Five.

Oh.

Oh, my God.

Wow!

"IHS."

What does it mean?

Jesus the saviour of all men. In Latin.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj had some special weapons

made in Spain.

When the weapons would come here,

they would have IHS engraved on them.

You mean to say that this is

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's dagger.

Yes.

I have seen its replica many times before.

But I am seeing Maharaj's real weapon

for the first time today.

What is this?

I have seen it somewhere.

Sir, what do these symbols mean?

On the right side is Lord Vishnu's Varaha incarnation.

Followed by Lord Ganesha.

Then, Shakti, Durga and Narasimha.

Below that

are the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu.

But, sir,

what clue are all these gods giving us?

Near Karnataka's Badami caves,

there is Lord Shiva's Bhootnath Temple.

Near that temple...

The same carving on the stone.

This is exactly the same!

It means Badami is your next destination.

Sir, the police are waiting at the main gate.

They are saying that you have called them.

Sir, you called the police.

Sir.

Sir...

I made a mistake.

I am...

I am sorry.

I called the police before hearing you guys out.

I am so sorry.

Sir, I have watched your Shiv Bhushan award video.

Maharaj's biggest heritage, which is invaluable for you.

I know about it.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's throne.

Right?

Sir, you must have understood one thing.

We are not doing guesswork.

All our clues are authentic.

If the clues are leading us to a treasure,

don't you think the throne will be there?

Sir, if the police arrest us,

our hunt will be lost in a random police file.

We will lose the golden chance

to restore Maharaj's heritage.

You have to decide, sir.

Perhaps this is what Maharaj wants.

That's why we met.

Only a true Shiledar can lead me to Maharaj's throne.

Shikha.

Yes, sir.

Make the police wait outside.

We have to go somewhere.

Are you ready?

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

What is this?

I suggest let's become a historian like him.

Sit in the car.

Quick.

Thank you, sir.

For doing all this for us.

I hope I am not making a mistake by taking this risk.

Trust me. You won't regret it, sir.

Get in. Get in.

Sir is telling you. You will have to let us go.

Sir, I cannot let you go. Please understand.

You are stopping the police.

You could be punished for this.

There are three dangerous criminals inside!
