What happened next, Father?

Young Shivaji was petrified.

How did his mother console him?

That you need courage to conquer fear.

Then, young Shivaji asked her.

How can one be courageous?

Jijamata told him

that the realisation of your duty gives you courage.

"Juty"? What does it mean?

Not "juty."

"Duty."

Duty is the sole purpose of your life,

for which you put everything at stake.

Father, what is my duty?

Shrikant!

Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid.

Father.

Hey!

Adi, come on, push!

Adi, you are almost there!

Come on!

- Adi! Adi! - Bro!

Bro, I fell! Bro, I fell!

- I am going to die. - Adi, it's okay. Relax.

Bro, I am going to fall. Please!

Adi, relax. Nothing will happen to you. It's okay.

How do I relax, bro? I am going to die!

Adi, you won't die. Relax. Calm down.

- Please save me, bro. Please. - Calm down.

Calm down.

Just imagine.

You have got a safety line. And still, you are so terrified.

Imagine how Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and his brave soldiers

must have climbed Raigad Fort 350 years ago.

I don't want to imagine.

I am going to die, and you are teaching me history.

- Please save me. - Come on, man.

Isn't this so thrilling?

Your thrill is making me feel dizzy!

Whoa!

Adi!

Adi, stop moving.

Bro, I am not moving.

The wind is making me move.

Bro... Bro, please. I will die! Please save me!

- Bro. - Listen. Adi, stop looking down.

- It's so deep, bro. - Don't look down.

- Okay. Okay. - Look up.

- Look at me! - Okay.

- And just count till ten. - Okay.

I love you. I love you, bro.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four! Four! Bro! Bro!

Adi, hold on. Just hold on.

Please. Please. Hurry up. Hurry up.

Five!

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

Whoa, bro! Bro, please save me!

Thank you. I love you, bro.

Look!

We have reached, haven't we?

You almost killed me today.

This madness of yours...

I swear.

Only I can tolerate your madness.

Move.

You are my brother.

If you don't tolerate it, who else will?

I swear. This brotherhood is going to kill me someday.

Yeah. Hi.

Yeah. I will be there.

"I will be there."

Where? Who was it?

Priyal Deshpande.

Again?

Very nice.

What's nice about that?

I am just saying it's nice.

If a woman is personally following up again and again,

there must be something.

- Hmm? - Yeah. I think so.

Nonsense.

Okay. Tell me something.

Why did only you get a personal invite?

I will also come.

Let me also see

who this Priyal Deshpande is.

As if you won't come if I refuse.

I am at Raigad Fort.

And you are watching me on

The Past with the Curious.

Raigad.

Those who don't know about it, let me tell you

this is the historic place

where Hindavi Samrajya was born.

And this is the fort where 350 years ago

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's coronation ceremony

took place in 1674.

Do you know? The throne that he ascended

was priceless.

It was encrusted with 32 mann of gold, diamonds and gems.

Well, there are multiple rumours about the throne.

Some say the Mughals melted it and looted the gold.

Some say that the emperor's brave soldiers hid it somewhere.

Who knows what the truth is?

All I want to say is

perhaps this mystery will remain a mystery.

Hello, sir.

Why did you take the risk of meeting here, sir?

It was important.

I don't have much time.

Only six months.

What do you mean?

High-grade neuroendocrine cancer.

Stage four.

But how?

All that later, Prashik.

Now, listen to me carefully.

Hmm.

So far I have handled somebody else's responsibility.

But now it's time

for the Shiledars' true heir

to handle it.

But, sir, is he ready?

We don't have time, Prashik.

We will have to tell him everything.

Just be ready.

You have to handle everything from now on.

Before you leave,

see the sun's reflection in the water

and offer your prayers.

Yes. Tell me, Prabhu.

I have got some information.

The judge seems to have some medical issue.

I know. He has high-grade neuroendocrine cancer.

What do you mean?

I mean the Shiledar has only six months and so do we.

So, what do we have to do?

Stay alert. He is very good at bluffing.

Prabhu, for the first time in so many years, this Shiledar is weak.

He doesn't have time.

He will definitely make a move.

Keep an eye on him. Any small movement,

- report to me. - Okay.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Is she Priyal?

While

- we have come here... - Should be. According to the DP.

The justice that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's throne delivered

during those days should be relevant

for the future generations.

That's the revolutionary notion that Dixit sir has brought for us today.

Why do girls like serious settings?

Not serious. Intelligent.

You are both. Why didn't you find anyone?

That's because

you don't let me be serious.

And I have to waste my intelligence on you.

Aw.

Not only me but all of us are privileged to have

our guiding light Dixit sir with us here today.

Sir, I request you to share your experience

of writing this book with us.

Please put your hands together for Justice Dixit.

Sir. Sir!

Sir, what has happened?

Sir. Sir, are you okay?

Somebody help. Someone please call a doctor.

- Somebody please help. - I am a doctor. I am a doctor.

It's okay.

It's okay, sir.

Sir, just relax. Relax. It's nothing.

Duty is the sole purpose of your life.

To gain valour,

you have to first know your duty.

My medicine pouch.

- Sorbitrate. Sorbitrate. - Yes. I will bring it.

- Adi. - Yes.

Here you go, sir.

Will sir be fine?

The medicine should start working in some time.

He needs rest.

Don't worry. He will be fine.

Thank you.

Sorry. We will have to reschedule the interviews.

Thank you very much.

Doctor.

Hope to meet you soon.

Sure, sir.

Let's go.

Thank you.

Bro, what happened to sir?

How is it possible, Adi?

What?

What is possible?

What happened to you?

He has...

What does he have?

- Hello. - Dr. Ravi.

Sir is feeling much better now.

And as a token of appreciation,

he has sent a signed copy of his book for you.

- Please thank him from my side. - I will.

Thank you for all your help.

Hmm, amazing, Doctor.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW YOUR DUTY? COME ALONE.

Seems like intelligence and seriousness worked today.

You saved the day, Doctor.

Master.

- Sire. - Yes.

The emblem.

Sire.

Are you ready for the veneration?

Your ancestors will definitely come this time.

They will have to come.

If they don't come, how will you leave from here?

Enough of trial and error, sire.

I want results. Results.

Summon my ancestors

and ask them.

Where have they hidden the treasure?

- That-- - Hey!

I am the heir of Vijayanagara Empire.

It's my birthright. Birthright!

Why should the future generations

be punished for one man's mistake?

If you have made a mistake,

your future generations shouldn't suffer the punishment.

Sire.

Don't worry.

Concentrate.

Concentrate on the veneration.

Until my ancestors reveal where the treasure is hidden,

all of you will consume your meals here.

If anything is missing in my hospitality...

let me know.

Do the incantations!

Hey, Shanta!

Somebody has come.

Give me the phone. Give me the phone.

Yes. Tell me, Shanta.

Boss, the doctor has come to the court.

The same guy who did the oldie's check-up at the book launch.

He must not have come for his check-up so late at night.

Something is fishy.

Keep an eye on the judge.

I am coming.

Yes.

Can I come in, sir?

Yes. Come in, Ravi.

Please close the door.

Yes.

I wasn't sure you would come.

In fact, you knew I would come, sir.

The message in the book.

The false attack.

Your pulse was normal, sir.

Why?

I will tell you.

Please sit.

You were six years old

when you were adopted.

Since then your grandfather

has been sending me your updates.

All of us were watching you. All of us.

"All of us."

Who all?

We have a society.

You can say it's a kind of sacred collective.

But not many of us are alive.

You are a part of that secret society.

It's just that nobody told you about it.

Sir, I don't understand what you are saying.

Please let's get to the point.

Who are you, sir? And how do you know so much about me?

And most importantly, how did you get the ring

that you are wearing?

You must have seen it before.

On your father's finger.

Did you... know my father?

Hmm. I knew him.

One minute.

Your father

was a good friend of mine.

8448.

Does the number sound familiar?

It was our car's licence plate number. During the accident--

It wasn't an accident, Ravi.

It was a well-planned murder.

The only saving grace was that you survived.

Then we took you to a safe house.

We made a family adopt you.

Away from Kolhapur.

Your adoptive family, the Bhatt family,

didn't know about the society.

That was best for you.

Because your life was in danger too.

From whom?

Those who engineered the accident.

Do you remember?

For years, your grandfather met you secretly in Bangalore.

The respect and love that you have

for Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and for history,

you have inherited it

from your father and grandfather.

You are also a true Maratha.

That's why, despite being a doctor,

you chose this path.

But why all this, sir?

We were preparing you.

For today.

So that you could handle all this in the future.

Handle what?

What your father

died safeguarding.

You will have to handle his position

and responsibility in the society.

By being the head of the Shiledars.

The Shiledars?

A Shiledar has only one duty.

Protecting the treasure.

What treasure?

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's treasure.

Are you serious, sir?

I almost believed you, sir.

But treasure?

Sir, you are a reputed judge.

You are a brilliant historian.

And you believe in these theories?

Sir, I have also read about the treasure.

But to believe it is...

Let's assume the treasure exists.

Why didn't anybody discover the treasure in 350 years?

How could they discover it?

A Shiledar like your father was safeguarding it.

Just imagine, Ravi.

If the treasure was our delusion,

why would your father have lost his life?

Sir.

Sir, there is a short-circuit problem.

We have been told to fix it.

No. Everything is fine.

That's not so, sir.

That's what the old man in the nearby building said.

But when his room caught fire, he didn't survive.

And we got into deep trouble, sir.

- It will take only five minutes, sir. - Five minutes.

But...

Thank you, Doctor.

You came to do my check-up at such short notice.

Thank you very much. I am feeling better now.

- I am feeling better now. - But now--

Yes. Now. It's getting late. I will go home and rest.

Thank you very much. I will send you the report tomorrow.

- Sir, are you fine? - Yes. I am fine.

You may leave. Thank you very much.

I will let you know tomorrow.

- I will be fine. Don't worry. - But, sir--

Okay. I will be fine. Okay.

Doctor.

You forgot your book.

We were preparing you.

So that you could handle all this in the future.

By being the head of Shiledars.

A Shiledar has only one duty.

Protecting the treasure.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's treasure.

If the treasure was our delusion,

why would your father have lost his life?

Hmm. Tell me.

Sir, the doctor came to meet him today.

Dr. Ravi Bhatt.

Anything suspicious?

No.

But the same doctor was at the book launch.

He did the judge's check-up.

As the judge had fainted.

He is certainly up to something, Prabhu.

The time to operate in secret is over.

Meet the judge. Ask him...

what his plan is.

If he doesn't speak,

give him the motivation to speak.

I am losing patience, Prabhu.

Okay, sir.

Hey! Hey, stop!

- Yes, sir? - Where is your companion?

Companion? Who, sir?

- Sir. - What happened, Adi?

Whom do you want to meet, sir?

Dr. Ravi Bhatt.

Myself inspector Bishwajit Mitra.

Intelligence Bureau.

All that is fine, sir. But why are all of you barging in?

What happened?

Did you eat Biryani last night?

Yes. We ate Biryani, sir.

Eating Biryani isn't a crime.

Who is he?

My younger brother Aditya.

Will you please tell me what the matter is, sir?

You came to Pune,

and you ate Hyderabadi Biryani.

Sir.

I can sense a criminal's character instantly

through his food preferences.

- Criminal? - Who, sir? What are you saying?

Will you please tell me what the matter is, sir?

Did you eat Biryani before going to the court or afterwards?

Which court, sir? Why are you harping on Biryani?

What has happened?

Later, sir.

And Judge Dixit.

What about Judge Dixit?

Did you kill him by hanging him?

- Or did you hang him after killing him? - What?

Killed him?

Come to the police station with me.

I will give you a taste of Vada Pav.

- Patil. - Yes, sir.

Take him.

Here you came in.

BISHWAJIT MITRA

And here...

You came out.

But where are those two people?

The electricians.

Electricians?

When I was in the chamber, two electricians came there, sir.

They were still there when I left.

- Apparently... - Hey.

...they came to check some short-circuit.

Their footage is missing, sir.

We would have got their footage if they had been there.

That's what I am saying, sir. They are not there.

Confess.

Did you kill him and then hang him?

Or did you hang him and kill him?

Sir, please believe me.

- The footage is missing. - Priyal Deshpande.

Dixit sir's assistant.

I got a call from the police station.

Do you know him?

Of course. Dr. Ravi Bhatt.

What is he doing here?

He was the last person to meet Justice Dixit.

He entered the chamber at 8 o'clock.

And he came out at 9 o'clock.

Nobody else went in or came out.

CCTV evidence clearly states

that he has committed the murder.

- What? - Sir, hold on.

If you believe that I killed Dixit sir at 9 o'clock

and came out of his chamber,

then, sir,

how can Dixit sir send me this message at 9:30?

- It's a lie. - What?

It's a lie.

- Sir-- - He has sent the message.

Sir, what are you saying?

Sir, look.

First of all, my brother never speaks lies.

Secondly, my brother was in the hotel room with me at 9:30.

- Sir, you-- - No. No.

Fine.

- Sir, you don't trust us. - No.

You don't trust us. Do one thing.

Check the geolocation of my brother's phone and Dixit sir's phone.

If my brother's location shows a hotel and Dixit sir's location shows court,

it's crystal clear, sir.

He was alive till 9:30.

Exactly, sir.

- Patil. - Sir.

Amazing, sir.

You solved the case in eight hours.

No post-mortem report.

No prima facie evidence.

No motive.

Only CCTV footage.

Which can be tampered too.

Is this your evidence?

Really?

Circumstantial evidence, madam.

In that case, sir,

under section 330 and 331,

you cannot even talk to him.

Leave alone interrogate him.

You must be a lawyer in the court.

But the police station's working system is different.

So bring strong evidence that works.

And then arrest him.

He can leave now, can't he?

Both of them are now your responsibility.

As a witness and lawyer,

sign here.

If you cross the city limits,

I will follow my working system.

Thank you.

Hi, sir.

Bro, what is going on?

Something is fishy, Adi.

It's a major conspiracy.

An entire section of CCTV footage was missing.

I am damn sure that the two guys

who came to the chamber last night are behind all this.

But, bro...

Thanks, Priyal.

I am really sorry for your loss.

Ravi, I don't understand something.

Dixit sir had only six months left.

Why would anybody kill him?

- What do you mean by six months? - What?

He had stage four cancer.

He was suffering.

No wonder.

That's why he wanted to meet me urgently.

What did both of you talk about?

He told me that like my father

I am also a Shiledar.

What do you mean by "Shiledar"?

A Shiledar has only one life purpose.

To safeguard Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's treasure.

Hold on. Hold on.

What are you saying, bro?

Treasure? Shiledar?

Bro, are you even listening to yourself?

What else did he say?

He wanted to tell me something else too.

But those two electricians came there.

And then he asked me to leave immediately.

His message is so random.

- See. - Show me.

"More power to you.

"May courage guide your dreams,

"pride fill your heart, and confidence

"be your constant companion."

It's a very random message.

Why would he send this message to you?

Did you notice something?

Look.

Lowercase. Uppercase. Lowercase. Uppercase.

So many typos.

How can a judge make so many typing errors?

Exactly.

Why are these specific letters in capital?

E-A-R-H-C-B-M.

It means something.

A-H-C-B-E-M-R.

C-R-E-A-M. Cream.

- Reach? - Omar?

B-E-A-C-H.

Bro, reach the beach. You have to go to the beach.

Charm.

Charm. Amber.

Charm.

- But-- - Charm.

Chamber.

Yes. It is the chamber.

Whose chamber?

Judge Dixit's chamber.

It means what Dixit sir wanted to tell me is in his chamber.

I have to go there at any cost.

Shall we go, Priyal?

Hold on. Hold on.

Hello, bro.

It's not a garden.

What do you mean by you have to go? You are the prime suspect.

If you are caught,

it will be confirmed that you are the murderer.

Adi, the accident that killed my mother and father wasn't an accident.

What do you mean?

They were murdered like Dixit sir.

What?

I want to find out who is behind all this.

Priyal.

You were with Dixit sir for quite a few years.

You must have access to his chamber.

Yes.

Let's go.

I made a mistake, sir. I am very sorry.

Bloody fool!

Will your apology bring the judge back to life?

Will he tell me the treasure's whereabouts?

What do I do, sir?

I got angry.

I pushed him a little and he died.

Don't forget.

I am the descendant of Vijayanagar Empire's emperor.

Similarly, you are the descendant of the Senapati.

I have to pay a heavy price for your rage.

Do one thing.

Keep an eye on the doctor.

I think last night the judge must have told the doctor

something about the treasure.

Okay, sir. No more mistakes.

Keep an eye.

Adi, do one thing. Wait here.

Call me if you notice anything suspicious.

- Done, bro. - We will be back soon.

Careful.

Shanta, come to the court with Sundar.

This place looks different at night and different during the day.

Let's go from here. There will be less security.

He is with me. The investigation is going on.

Thank you.

Without Dixit sir, this chamber...

We need to get to work. We don't have much time.

Hmm.

Priyal.

What could Dixit sir mean by these words?

Power, courage, pride and confidence.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

Yes. Of course.

How did I miss this?

Ashok Stambh.

What does Ashok Stambh denote?

Power, courage, pride and confidence.

Exactly these four words.

Which means Dixit sir was talking about Ashok Stambh in his message.

Boss, they were talking about Ashok Stambh.

Then they became quiet suddenly.

Damn it.

They are onto something.

I will have to go and check personally.

- Patil. - Yes, sir.

Go ahead.

- Kamble. - Sir.

Come with me.

Yes, Adi.

Bro, Inspector Mitra is here.

Keep watch. We will leave quickly.

Inspector Mitra is at the gate.

It takes eight minutes to reach here from the gate.

We just have five.

- Anybody inside? - No, sir.

Sir,

that's my van. Any problem?

Your van?

I am just a driver, sir.

Repair work is going on in the court for the past few days.

That's why I have come.

What did you eat last night?

Sir?

What did you eat last night?

Sambhar.

Sambhar and rice.

At home?

Or here?

Homemade, sir. At home.

Is that so?

Since last night, your vehicle is parked here.

Right?

I return home by bus.

The van is parked here.

After you return home,

two of your electricians

went to the judge's chamber last night.

Why?

I...

Okay. Let's crack this.

Four lions.

Four wheels of Dharma.

Elephant, horse, bull and lion

are walking in the same direction. Right to left.

What does it depict?

Unity.

I moved only one wheel.

There was a sound. But nothing happened.

What if we move all four together?

Unity.

Yes.

On the count of three.

Three. Two. One.

Open it.

Open the door!

Open the door! Who is inside?

Open. Open.

Ravi.

- Ravi. - Huh?

We have to go.

Open.

Let's go.

Or else I'll break open.

Open the door.

- Open it. - Sir, I don't have the backdoor key.

The equipment is costly. The electricians have it.

- Where are the electricians? - At home.

They will get late, sir.

Call them. Call them quickly.

Okay, sir.

Open it. Sir.

Sir, Somebody has closed the door

of Dixit sir's chamber from the inside.

- Kamble. Get this guy's details. - Sir.

Yes, Patil.

Open the door.

Adi.

Bring the car to the exit gate.

Now. Quick.

Why don't you open?

Hey.

We'll have to jump.

We don't have any other option.

Come on, jump.

Open the door.

Sir.

Hey, Doctor!

Kamble, catch them!

Hey!

Shit!

- Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj... - May he live long!

Shiv Bhushan Award.

This award is conferred to the person

who does notable work on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's life

and his great exploits.

It gives me immense pleasure to inform all of you

that the person who has dedicated his entire life

to this great task is present here today.

We also know him as Shiv Charitrakar.

Mr. Pratap Chandrarao.

I request the respected governor Mr. Ramachandran

to honour Mr. Pratap Chandrarao with Shiv Bhushan award.

Sir, please.

Pardon me.

I would like to say something.

I am grateful to the respected governor

and the guests present here for their love and respect.

I don't consider myself worthy of this respect.

So I won't accept it today.

I have not only studied Shivaji Maharaj's life.

I have lived his life.

I have only one regret.

We couldn't safeguard his precious heritage.

His sword, his possessions,

his weapons were snatched from us.

What did we do?

Nothing.

That's why

I have dedicated my entire life

to regain his priceless heritage and safeguarding it.

I have done a lot.

But there is still a lot to be done.

Maharaj.

My mission isn't over.

Even today, a question

doesn't let me sleep peacefully.

Shivcharitra's pride,

the seat of Hindavi Swarajya

is still missing.

The day I find the answer I will feel

I am worthy of Shiv Bhushan award.

Meanwhile,

I am sorry.

Pardon me.

Sir. Sir.

SHIV BHUSHAN AWARD 2023

- Two cups of coffee and green tea. - Okay, sir. Okay.

Shivcharitra's pride,

the seat of Hindavi Swarajya.

The day I find the answer

I will feel I am worthy of the Shiv Bhushan award.

Maharashtra's famous Shiv Charitrakar

Pratap Chandrarao has refused to accept the Shiv Bhushan award.

Let's find out people's reactions.

What is this, bro?

I have no idea.

Dixit sir had hidden it, which means it must be important.

This paper was also there.

- Along with this? - Yes. Below it.

It's blank.

It's an old parchment paper.

Its fold is new.

Which means somebody hid it there recently.

Why will Dixit sir keep a blank paper?

Just like that.

Maybe just like that.

It must have a purpose.

There has to be something.

It's not blank.

Something is...

Invisible ink.

These are numbers.

Yes.

Random numbers.

What are the numbers?

Show me for a second. One second.

- What are you doing? - Hold on, bro.

These are not random numbers, guys.

So?

These are location coordinates.

- Coordinates. - Yes.

What's the location?

Chor Bazaar, Mumbai.

Chor...

Well done, Adi.

It means Judge Dixit wanted me to go to Chor Bazaar.

Maybe I will find my next clue there.

Next clue. Exactly.

Chor Bazaar. Let's go.

Let's go.

Adi.

From here,

I will go alone.

Listen to me.

You go to the US to Mom and Dad.

You will get into trouble if you stay with me.

What are you saying, bro?

How can I leave you alone in this mess

and go to the US? That's not going to happen.

I will be with you. And...

we will find the treasure.

What nonsense is this?

Priyal.

I have fled from the crime scene with you.

What will I tell the police if I go back?

Ravi.

We will have to proceed ahead.

We will have to find out who killed Dixit sir and why.

Whatever happens,

we will tackle it together.

Cheers.

Bro, hold on.

What do we do with the car?

Mitra must have noted the car's licence plate number.

And I am sure he is trying to locate the car.

- We will be caught. - Let's go.

Let's leave the car here.

If we leave the car here, how will we go, bro?

Mumbai. Come on, get in.

- By bus. - To Mumbai!

We will go by bus.

Come on.

Hurry up. Or else the bus will depart.

I suggest we change our phone numbers

once we reach there.

If they track our phone numbers,

they will be able to trace our location.

"Three and a half feet snow cover in Kedarnath."

"Pune sessions court judge Justice Dixit murdered"?

Is this Chor Bazaar or a maze?

- Adi. - Tell me the exact location.

We have been searching for so long.

Bro, you can even find God if you search hard.

We will find the exact location too.

Hey. Found it.

God?

The shop.

The shop is closed. Come tomorrow.

I said come tomorrow.

I want to talk to you urgently.

Come tomorrow.

Somebody once told me,

"In order to gain valour,

"you need to first know your duty."

Come. Come in.

Where did you find it?

From Justice Dixit's chamber.

These two?

Sir, I am Aditya Bhatt. Or you can call me Adi.

He is my brother Ravi.

She is Dixit sir's assistant.

Priyal Deshpande.

I hope nobody followed you.

No chance, sir.

We hoodwinked everybody. Don't worry.

Shanta, the doctor is here.

- Shit. We will have to leave. - Boss, come here.

- Come on. - Not from here.

- From the backdoor. - Come on.

Stop. Stop.

Run. Run that way.

Open the door. Open the door.

Hey, stop.

Stop.

Stop or I will shoot you.

Shoot.

- Bro, bro. - Adi, run.

- Hurry up. - Run, Adi.

Hey, stop.

Catch them.

Scoundrel. Stop.

Come on, hurry up.

Stop.

Adi. Priyal.

Let's go, Adi.

Hurry.

Let's go.

Sir.

Yes, Patil.

The car is visible in the CCTV footage,

starting from the court to Talegaon toll plaza.

But they didn't cross Khalapur toll plaza, sir.

So they dumped the car somewhere on the road.

- Yes. - Alert the highway patrol.

- Yes, sir. - Sir!

Yesterday's van driver.

His ID card is fake, sir.

And he gave Sundar beauty parlour's number, sir.

It's very complicated.

We will have to nab all three of them.

Sir.

- Come on, Patil. - Yes, sir.

Come.

Come on. Get in.

Sit.

Isn't it paining?

It's not paining, bro.

Thank God it's just a minor wound.

Show me.

They shot at us.

They wanted to kill us.

They are very dangerous people, Ravi.

Very dangerous.

We escaped today. But...

they will attack again.

Sir, who are they?

And why did they kill Dixit sir?

It's an old battle.

What do you mean by an old battle?

What Dixit sir told me is this.

It started after 1680.

After Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's death,

Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj ascended the throne.

But Aurangzeb killed him treacherously.

Taking advantage of the situation,

the Mughals attacked Marathas' capital, Raigad Fort.

The siege of Raigad.

Aurangzeb's general Zulfiqar Khan attacked Raigad in 1689.

Yes.

After capturing the fort,

they tried to steal the treasure.

But before they could do that, a troop of the Maratha army

hid the treasure somewhere.

It was the troop of Shiledars.

It was their responsibility to safeguard the treasure.

Since then,

these scoundrels have been looking for the treasure.

The troop of Shiledars

and their descendants have been safeguarding it.

This seems like...

an Indiana Jones movie.

Are you also a Shiledar?

No.

I am not a Shiledar.

So you...

All this...

How?

Since my childhood, historical stories would give me sleepless nights.

I would go in search

of the stories.

Twenty years ago, I worked as a restorer

for the Archaeological Survey of India.

Dixit sir gave me an unofficial job.

To carry out excavation at certain spots in Maharashtra.

What Dixit sir was looking for

is in your bag right now, Ravi.

But I didn't know I would have to pay such a heavy price for this.

Those scoundrels burned my wife alive in my house.

Dixit sir sent me to Mumbai, away from the dangers.

A new name. A new job.

I settled down here.

In my quest for history,

I lost my present and my future.

But the thing for which my wife Pratipada lost her life,

I will never let those brutes get hold of it.

That's my vow.

That's my reason for living.

Dixit sir met me a few days ago.

He handed me

this key.

And he told me

that a new Shiledar will come one day.

I have to hand it over to him.

Remember one thing.

Those who killed Dixit sir

have killed many people.

They can do anything to get hold of this.

Anything.

Sorry, sir. I couldn't reply to your messages.

I was going to give you the latest updates--

Why didn't you send it?

Sir, I--

Don't forget your commitment towards your duty, Priyal.

I want the updates of Ravi's next plan at any cost.

Understood?

Yes, sir.

Bloody fool.

Carefully. Carefully.

Take care of the bag.

I think there are three parts

of the treasure's key.

You found one from

Dixit sir's chamber. The second one was

with your father. Perhaps now it's with

his murderer.

And the third part?

And the third...

If there are three parts of the key,

which lock's key is this?

Dixit sir might have said something

when he spoke to you.

Nothing...

Doctor, your book.

When I met Dixit sir that night, he gave me this diary.

Dixit sir won't give you anything without a reason.

Don't you think the binding is different?

When I was pursuing archaeology,

I saw many such books.

Hold on. Hold on.

Carefully.

- Patil. - Yes, sir.

Go and check the CCTV camera.

Yes, sir.

Oh, man!

Sir, I checked the CCTV footage.

All three of them have gone to Mumbai by bus.

I have sent the details to the control room, sir.

- We are keeping an eye on them. - Hmm.

Somebody else is also keeping a watch on them.

Interesting.

Sir, I believe

Dr. Ravi might be speaking the truth.

It's possible.

If he is speaking the truth,

why did he return to the crime scene?

Hmm.

This case...

is as straight as that Jalebi.

- Patil. - Hmm.

Pack some Jalebis.

We are going to Mumbai.

Yes.

Go.

Wow!

Arabian Sea and Bombay Harbour.

- Full vintage vibe, sir. - Yes.

This is the map of Bombay dating back to 1930.

The road map of Bombay.

But on the map the roads are wrong.

Such roads don't exist in Mumbai anymore.

Mr. Prashik,

this is not Bombay's road map.

- Then? - What?

I think this

could be a network of underground pipelines

built during the British era.

- See. - Underground pipelines.

- These dark ones, bro? - Yes. That's the one.

Yes. It's possible.

Even today underground pipelines

belonging to that era are used in South Mumbai.

Underground pipelines?

What better place to hide something?

Yes.

So according to the map,

four monuments were built by the British.

- The Gateway of India. - Hmm.

The General Post Office. Victoria Terminus or CST.

And Government House, which means Raj Bhavan.

The pipeline connects all these four monuments.

This means our clue is

somewhere here, amidst them.

It will take us our entire life to comb this area.

Look at this.

What happened, bro?

This map has the seal of King Edward VII.

Isn't it strange?

- What do you mean? - Why?

I mean King Edward VII

died before World War I.

And this map has the Gateway of India,

which was built in 1924.

But still, the map has the seal of King Edward VII.

There must be some connection.

Guys, I got it.

When King Edward was the Prince of Wales,

where could he have stayed when he came to India?

- Where? - You tell me.

Come on, guys. Where will the Prince of Wales stay in India?

Raj Bhavan. Government House.

Raj Bhavan.

Are the map's clues indicating that we should go to Raj Bhavan?

That's what I am saying.

Raj Bhavan it is.

But Raj Bhavan belongs to the British era.

What connection can it have with the Marathas?

We will go there and find out the connection.

What do you mean by "we will go there and see"?

Is it a public park?

- But, sir, we will have to go. - How will we go inside?

Tomorrow there is an event in Raj Bhavan.

The celebration of Indian folk dance.

What if we gain entrance under the pretext of attending the event?

We will have to use such a pretext that will--

I can help.

I was the High Court Judge's assistant.

Dixit sir had many high-profile clients.

I am sure someone will give us passes.

Superb.

But, Ravi, if we are caught...

We will be labelled as terrorists.

What do you mean?

I mean terrorists.

Raj Bhavan.

Adi, if anything happens, inform me.

Careful, bro.

Hold on, ma'am.

- He's back. - All of you may go.

Thank you.

This way.

Adi, we have come inside. Now?

Perfect. Bro, listen to me carefully.

As per the map,

Governor's Hall will be right in front.

You have to cross it and go behind.

That's where King Edward used to stay.

The backside.

Shut the door.

Adi, next?

Next.

Next? Bro, hold on. Hold on.

Bro, next...

Bro, there are no images or references.

I think it must be a secure zone.

There is no information online.

Did he say something?

There is no information about the next section.

We will have to find it.

Mr. Prashik. Priyal.

Here.

- Found something? - Look.

Priyal.

This is Maratha Shiledars' connection with Raj Bhavan.

Look at this. Look.

Dr. Sardeshmukh.

It means he was also a Shiledar.

Adi, get me all the information about 1962's governor Dr. Sardeshmukh.

- Quickly. - Copy.

When they come, address and...

- Bro, I found something. - Yes, Adi. Tell me.

During his time,

Dr. Sardeshmukh had renovated Raj Bhavan's library.

Since then, the library is called Dr. Sardeshmukh Library.

In the west wing.

Hold on.

As per the map, the underground pipeline's exit is towards the west.

- Correct. - The library is in the west.

Well done, Adi.

Thanks, bro.

Found it. Sardeshmukh Library.

In the west wing.

Follow me.

There is a civilian activity in the west wing. Please check.

There is a civilian activity in the west wing. Please check.

Okay. I will check.

- Adi. - Yes, bro.

We have reached the west wing. Where do we have to go next?

Next?

Bro, right corridor.

I am sure that's where the library is.

This is it. Come.

Madam!

What are you doing here, madam?

Where is the cultural event? I am unable to find Darbar Hall.

Madam, nobody is allowed to come here.

- Oh! - Let's go.

- Yes. - Let's go!

The underground pipeline might be underneath this room.

But I cannot see an opening.

- Where do we look for it? - Dr. Sardeshmukh Museum.

- Ravi? - Yes.

Let's go.

YOUR WEALTH IS LIKE THE SUN, EQUAL TO THE IDOL OF LOVE.

BUT THE VOW OF TULSI ON EKADASHI IS BEYOND IT.

All the artists who performed here,

their commitment towards their art

is commendable.

I also believe that commitment is an act,

not just a word.

- Mr. Prashik. - Yes.

See this.

"Your wealth is like the sun, equal to the idol of love.

"But the vow of Tulsi on Ekadashi is beyond it."

Mr. Prashik, I have heard a story.

About Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Saint Tukaram.

When Maharaj gave Saint Tukaram many precious gifts,

Saint Tukaram uttered this verse.

- True. - For Saint Tukaram

soil and gold are the same.

Maharaj was so inspired by his words

that he expressed his desire to adopt the religious path.

But Saint Tukaram told him that,

a Kshatriya's duty is to protect his subjects.

And your duty is your faith.

The way a Shiledar's duty is to protect the treasure.

Absolutely.

Maybe that's why Governor Sardeshmukh is pointing us towards that door.

Let's go.

- It is the same symbol. - Yes.

Unity.

Unity.

- Mr. Prashik. - Yes.

Two people were needed at the chamber.

Two people?

We will pull out both the swords together.

You pull out the other sword.

On the count of three.

Three.

Two.

One.

Yes!

Carefully.

Adi,

I think we have found the pipeline route.

Yes.

Slowly.

Adi, do one thing.

- Adi. - Yes, bro. Tell me.

Hello.

- Adi. - Hello. Hello.

Bro, your voice is breaking. Hello.

Hello.

Adi.

I thought it was a pipeline.

But this is an underground tunnel.

The tunnels.

I had read about these tunnels.

After the World War, the Britishers built

many such tunnels for emergency exits.

Here it is.

The emergency exit.

This is so fascinating.

Now I understood why the Shiledars are what they are.

There can't be any place better than this to hide something.

Pull.

Shit!

I have come to check the CCTV. It's urgent.

You can confirm.

Yes. Let him go in. He has got permission.

You can go.

Bro, pick up the phone.

I am sure the room has been specially designed.

There is no source of ventilation.

This is a vacuum chamber.

We will have to be real quick.

- Mr. Prashik. - Yes.

The symbol of the Shiledars.

Each brick has a sword and shield symbol.

When Governor Sardeshmukh renovated the library,

that's when the room must have been built.

I am sure the clue is here.

Mr. Prashik.

- Are you fine? - I am fine.

The clue must be in this room.

There is only a sword here.

- Mr. Prashik. - Yes.

Mr. Prashik.

- Are you fine? - Breathing issue. Otherwise, I am fine.

Okay. Listen to me.

Just calm down.

Okay? Breathe slowly.

Okay?

Mr. Prashik.

Shield.

Shield.

The shield is here.

And the sword is there. It means...

You had said

that two people will be needed.

Correct. Correct.

Three.

Two.

One.

Go!

Remove it.

Keep it down.

This is...

Something has been written in Modi script.

It's an ancient Marathi script that--

It was used during Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's time.

Yes.

Which means, if we read what's written,

we might be able to open it.

Absolutely. Absolutely.

Come on, Ravi.

Let's leave now.

Wonder what's going on upstairs.

We haven't been in touch with them for a long time.

- Correct. - Let's go.

Wait!

I have been searching for you for many years.

It's good I found you.

Whatever he is holding, give it to me.

Or else, I will do to you

what I did to your wife.

Hey!

We should leave.

Mr. Prashik.

Mr. Prashik.

We don't have time. We should leave.

We cannot go out in this condition.

There will be people upstairs.

The tunnel leads to the sea.

Emergency exit.

Let's leave from here.

Come on.

Come on. Let's go.

Maybe this will help to open it.

Doctor, won't you take her?

Huh?

Governor?

I have been in Raj Bhavan for the past one year.

And nobody knew about this tunnel.

You toiled.

And I will reap the reward.

Give me what you are holding.

And take her.

The treasure you are looking for

belongs to my ancestors. It belongs to me!

That's why I killed the judge.

He killed Dixit sir.

Yes.

Now it's her turn.

Give me what you are holding.

Or else, she will die.

And you will escape after doing all this.

A sitting governor is behind all this. You think people won't find out.

People listen to their rulers.

They will believe whatever I tell them.

Give it to me.

I am warning you. I will kill her.

No. I am giving it.

- I am giving it. - Hey! Ravi, what are you doing?

Mr. Prashik, we will have to give it.

No, Ravi. Don't give it.

- We don't have an option. - No, Ravi!

- Mr. Prashik-- - I'll kill her!

- No. - Ravi, don't give it.

Hey!

Mr. Prashik.

- Hey! - No, wait.

- I am giving it. - Shall I kill her?

Here. I am giving it.

Please don't shoot.

Don't shoot.

Here.

Mr. Prashik.

- Here. - Come on.

- Come on, Prashik. - Let's go.

Your life is precious.

You are a Shiledar. Fulfil your duty.

Let me fulfil my duty.

Ravi, the door is closing. Run quickly!

We have to go, Ravi. Let's go.

We have to go, Ravi. We have to go.

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!

I have sent the chopper's photo.

We need to track the tail number.

Wherever the chopper lands,

we need to reach there immediately.

Okay.

We have identified the other person found in the tunnel.

His name is Prabhudeva.

He is an old history-sheeter.

He was out on parole for the past eight years.

How did he get security clearance for Raj Bhavan?

He got clearance from the governor's office.

- What? - The inquiry is going on.

We will find out soon who gave entry to a criminal in Raj Bhavan.

Don't you find the governor's statement doubtful?

I mean, he heard a gunshot and he went inside the tunnel.

All alone.

Without informing the security.

I agree. We will speak to the governor.

I am good. Look.

Look at this.

Look.

See the grandeur.

According to Hinduism,

there are ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu.

There are innumerable stories of each incarnation.

But there is one special story.

Look carefully.

What do you understand

when you look at the incarnations?

Do you understand?

- Sir... - No?

Don't you see Darwin's theory when you look at these?

You mean the theory of evolution.

Yes!

Starting from the fish that lives in water,

to Lord Buddha's human form.

Oh, yeah.

That's right.

Ravi, just imagine.

India had the knowledge of evolution for thousands of years.

Whereas western countries gained this knowledge

from Darwin only 150 years ago.

Sir, if this is a clue,

there should be something else also here.

Yes.

Definitely.

There should be something.

Look, sir.

A Shiva Lingam has been woven into the fabric using a fine thread.

Huh?

What's strange is that

the Shiva Lingam is upside down.

A Shiva Lingam with Vishnu's ten incarnations.

Which is upside down.

What could that mean?

Vishnu's ten incarnations and Shiva Lingam.

It means that somewhere nearby...

Adi, do you see something?

What, brother?

This is it.

The Shiva Lingam is upside down because

it depicts the Shiva Lingam of the temple,

whose reflection falls on water.

And a reflection is always upside down.

That's Lord Shiva's Bhootnath Temple.

And its reflection.

Mitra.

- Yes, sir. - Sir.

The chopper has landed somewhere near Badami.

Badami, Karnataka.

Why would they have gone there?

Karnataka police are doing the inquiry.

We will get an update pretty soon.

- Patil. - Yes, sir.

Hubli Airport

- is the closest airport to Badami. - Yes.

Find out what time is the direct flight heading there.

Yes, sir.

Come, sir.

Let's have a word with the governor.

The governor is missing.

What do you mean?

Wonder where he went early morning.

Where can the governor go?

He didn't even inform his security.

Look at this.

It's highly suspicious.

Your governor is not what he appears to be.

Sir.

The flight to Hubli is in two hours.

Let's go, sir.

Sundar.

- Yes, sir. - I have got the location.

Are your men ready?

Absolutely ready.

Lord Kalabhadra.

Please support us.

We are going to get what always belonged to us.

Help us.

Thank you.

This...

The Shiva Lingam is different.

It doesn't belong to this temple.

Why do you think so?

Because

there are no marks of water trickles.

What do you mean by that, sir?

The Shiva Lingam

is known as a powerful source of energy.

It emits positive

as well as negative energy.

Both these energies influence us.

Only water can destroy the negative energy

that emanates from it.

Remember. Ancient Hindu temples weren't merely places of worship.

They were centres of energy.

Till the 16th century, this temple

was believed to be an important place of worship.

Why isn't there any trickle of water on this Shiva Lingam?

Because it's different.

It was installed in the temple

many years after the temple was built.

What's the meaning of Nakaratmak?

Negative.

Somebody has sealed the water outlet purposely.

Sir.

It's the emblem of the Shiledars.

It indicates that we have to find the sealed water outlet point.

Ravi, while we were coming here,

I saw a water outlet behind the temple.

Let's go.

It's here.

Ravi.

Carefully.

Brother, carefully. There could be snakes in there.

Oh!

I think something is written in Chalukya Empire's language.

This could be a clue.

Bro, found it. Found it.

The translation of the written words is...

"It will go back to where it came from.

"My brother will be called a King who was like Vishnu."

What does it mean?

Chalukya dynasty's King Mangalesha.

On the other side of the lake.

Cave number three.

- Got it. - Let's go.

In that cave, Lord Vishnu is seated on a throne.

And he looks like King Kirttivarman I.

It's said that King Kirttivarman's brother Mangalesha

got the sculpture made for his brother.

So the conch will go back to where it came from.

Cave number three.

Sir.

- It's amazing. - Brother.

Sir, are you sure you are fine?

Five minutes.

Just five minutes.

Sir, you rest here.

Adi will be with you.

- Adi. - Yes.

Ravi, we will have to go.

The police can reach here any time.

She is right. You guys carry on.

- I will come in five minutes. - Sure, sir?

Of course.

Come on. Let's go.

Shit!

Who told them?

Run. Run. Run. Run.

- Catch them! - Hey.

Stop.

Hey. Stop.

- Adi. - Adi.

- Adi, get up. - Let's go.

Bro.

Adi, come on.

Let's go. Come on.

Hey!

Stop! Or else I will shoot you.

Sundar!

I am glad

to meet you again.

Shit!

Where is the treasure?

I'm asking where the treasure is.

What, sir? Had we known, would we have been here?

- Wouldn't we have run away with it? - Hey!

Don't joke with me.

Take their bags.

- Hey. - Sir, bag.

Hey.

ASI Priyal.

Our most trusted undercover agent.

But not so trusted anymore.

Where is the treasure?

I'm asking where the treasure is.

You have taken our bags.

All the clues are in the bags.

Find it yourself.

There is only one problem with doctors.

They understand only one language. Operation.

Shantaram!

Hold his brother!

Sir. Sir. Sir.

He is smart with computers.

But what's the use of his smartness if he loses his eyesight?

No. No. What are you doing?

Sir. Sir, no. Please. Sir, please.

I will count till three. And then,

- the operation of his eyes will begin. - Sir...

- Bro, help. Bro, please. - Sir.

- Sir, please listen to me. - No.

- One. - Sir, please. No, sir.

- Sir. - Bro.

- Don't do this. - Sir, please don't do this.

- Don't do this! - Sir, please.

- Two. - Bro.

Sir, what madness is this? He is a kid.

What will you gain by killing him?

My ancestor's treasure!

- Three! - Bro.

Sir, please stop. I will tell you where the treasure is.

Please. I will tell you where the treasure is.

There is a conch in his bag.

It says we should go to cave number three.

We will find out the rest over there.

Well done.

You will take us there.

Come on.

Let's go.

Hey. Come on. Let's go.

Proceed.

There is nothing here.

I told you. No more games.

Lord Vishnu's third incarnation.

Varaha.

Lord Kalabhadra, you showed me the right way.

This is the place where my ancestor's treasure

was hidden for so many years.

Now I will restore my empire's lost glory.

There is no guarantee that the treasure

you are looking for will be here.

It has to be here!

Show your smartness.

Open the door.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's dagger.

My bag.

Kalabhadra!

My ancestor's treasure.

My treasure!

Thank you, my ancestors!

Come on.

Found the treasure.

Stuff your pockets.

- Shantaram, come here. - Pick that up.

See that necklace. That necklace.

But Maharaj's throne isn't here.

You really thought the throne would be here.

Of course.

Just imagine, Priyal.

Was my father killed for this treasure?

Dixit sir. Prashik sir. And wonder how many more people.

Were they martyred for this treasure?

I don't think so.

Even if we assume it's the same treasure, then...

what about the part of the key that we found in Dixit sir's chamber?

And the part that my father had.

There is another part which we haven't found.

The key that will be made by joining all three parts

will open the door of the real treasure.

You mean there is another treasure

that the Shiledars have been guarding?

Yes.

So far we thought it was the hunt to find some gold treasure.

But we were clearly wrong.

The treasure that the Shiledars have been guarding for years

is the real treasure of the Marathas.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's throne.

If the throne is not here, it means

the Shiledars must have hidden it somewhere else.

But, bro, where will we find the clue of where the treasure is?

The clue must be somewhere here.

Here?

Bro, there are so many things here.

Anything...

could be the clue.

How will we find it?

Bro.

What happened?

This doesn't seem to be a part of Vijayanagara's treasure.

"IHS."

Bro, do you remember something?

Spain.

Maharaj had weapons made by Spanish swordsmiths.

If this box is here, it means the connection between the Marathas

and the Hampi treasure is not just a story.

Adi, Maharaj's dagger.

Hold on.

What is this?

Wow.

We got it.

We found it.

The last piece of the treasure's key.

The Shiledars had hidden it here.

If there are three parts of the key, we have one part.

Which we found in Dixit sir's chamber.

Correct. This is the second part, which we found here.

Bro, the third part? Where is the third part?

My father had the third part.

He was killed, and it was snatched from him.

I am the heir of Vijayanagara Empire.

This is my treasure!

- Where is the third part of the key? - What are you talking about?

Where is the third part?

You are speaking to the heir of Vijayanagara Empire.

Mind your tongue!

Don't even think about it. I don't miss.

Sir, you killed the governor.

It's more important for you to be alive.

- But, sir, this... - Found the throne?

If the Shiledars didn't hide the throne here,

where could they have hidden it?

Sir, I think I know where the throne could be.

Where?

"The underground chamber that connects Nandadeep's Rajwada,

"Rajsadar and Rajstambh.

"A symbolic route that goes from there

and leads to the throne."

Nandadeep's Rajwada?

What does it mean?

Raigad.

It means the throne is in the fort where it was supposed to be.

I was searching for it for so many years.

But I never thought about Raigad.

It means we will have to go to Raigad immediately.

- Yes. - Bro, that is fine.

But what do we do with these two?

Ravi, I think you should go.

Adi and I will handle it.

If the police come here,

there should be somebody to answer their questions.

- But-- - Bro, she is right.

If all of us are caught together, our work will remain incomplete.

Both of you leave.

We will handle it here.

Ravi.

- Guys. - Lower the guns. Lower the guns.

Mitra sir! Don't shoot!

Don't shoot! Please don't shoot!

Sir, please don't shoot us. I am an undercover agent.

My name is Priyal Deshpande. This is my ID card.

Why were you fleeing with these criminals?

Sir, I will tell you everything. But please arrest them first.

They used to work for Governor Ramachandran.

- Sir, they are goons. - Sir, please.

- No. No. - Sir.

Arrest them.

- Get up. - Come on.

- Come on. - Get going.

- Come on. - Governor?

Inside.

Sir!

Sir.

- Sir, it's a vast treasure. - Hmm.

There isn't just one single key. It's a big key.

- And the key has many parts. - So?

So... He doesn't understand what I am saying.

I...

Sir, it's a fascinating story.

But since last night, they have been repeating it.

- It's not a story, sir. - What is it then?

- We are speaking the truth. - What's the truth?

- That's what we have been telling you. - Say it then.

Look.

Don't narrate some movie's story and misguide us.

Speak the whole truth.

Sir, I have already told you that.

You won't believe it. But that's the truth.

Okay. What did you say the other day?

Prima facie evidence.

Motive.

Post-mortem.

You dismissed the CCTV footage.

And today, you want us to believe you.

Without any evidence.

How so?

- Hold on. - What?

There is evidence.

Huh?

- Adi. - Just give me a second.

Sir, another story.

Show me. What is it?

I don't know about the movie.

But I have a trailer.

Pratap Chandrarao and Dr. Ravi.

Where are they?

No idea, sir.

You were fighting for him at the police station.

And you don't know where he is.

Sir, all I know is that Ravi is very close to his destination.

And he is finding the answers of his questions.

I have been to Raigad Fort

more than a hundred times.

Right from top to bottom,

each corner, each stone knows me.

In the quest for the throne, Zulfiqar Khan, the British,

and wonder how many historians like me

adopted different methods.

But all of us failed.

Do you know why?

Because none of us could imagine

where the farsighted Shiledars

must have hidden the throne.

Ravi.

Nandadeep's Rajwada,

Rajsadar...

and Rajsthambh.

A secret underground tunnel in the centre

will lead you to the King's throne.

Sir!

Rajsthambh means the Vijay Sthambh.

In the same direction,

on the other side...

there is Rajsadar.

The Maharaj's court.

Rajwada...

lies in between them.

The Maharaj's palace.

There is a secret tunnel in the centre.

It means we have to find a place that connects all three.

A secret place. Something like a tunnel, I think.

Ravi.

There are many places in Raigad

that are buried underground like a tunnel.

Most of them no longer exist, but two of them do.

One of them is the granary.

And the other place connects Rajwada,

Rajsadar and Rajsthambh.

Khalwat Khana.

KHALWAT KHANA

Sir, don't you think this chamber's design is strange?

I mean there is only one entrance.

And it's so small.

If you keep a boulder at the entrance,

nobody will even know there is a chamber here.

In olden times, this chamber was below a two-storied structure.

It was impossible to spot it from outside.

Even if somebody came inside, he would never find it.

That's why it was called Khalwat Khana or Maslat Khana.

This is where the King's spies passed on information to him.

Sir, I doubt this room was built for secret discussions.

Why do you say that?

Look, sir.

There is sufficient light outside. But this room is so dark.

Just imagine...

how the chamber must have been below a two-storied structure, sir.

It must have been dark even during the day.

- No question of any meetings. - Ravi.

People used to light lamps and torches here.

Exactly, sir.

But look, there is no place to put torches on the walls.

And...

Hold on, sir.

Sir, let's assume that torches were used here.

But just imagine.

There is only one source of ventilation in the chamber.

And that's the doorway.

It's obvious. During the meetings, the door must be closed.

It means the torches must be consuming

the remaining oxygen in the chamber.

Having a discussion in this room

is equivalent to death by suffocation, sir.

What do you think? What was the chamber used for?

Sir, what we are thinking is very obvious.

And we can't think obvious.

We will have to think like a Shiledar, sir.

Because Shiledars' thought process

was way beyond common people's thought process.

Perhaps the Shiledars built this chamber

to misguide their enemies.

So that even if the enemy reaches here,

he will leave after seeing the closed chamber.

He won't even imagine that there could be a tunnel

connecting the chamber.

Sir, my gut feeling says that

this chamber leads to the throne.

Ravi.

For so many years, no historian could comprehend it.

I was...

I was also searching for this place.

But I couldn't decipher the meaning.

- The throne's clue is here. - Yes, sir.

Sir, you must know about the royal seal.

- Yes. - What's written on it?

"The glory of this seal of Shahji's son Shivaji

"will grow like the crescent moon

"and will always seek the welfare of the people."

Pratipashchandra.

Pratipashchandra means the crescent. Right?

Yes.

Sir!

The crescent.

The crescent.

Pratipashchandra.

The first word of the royal seal.

Yes, sir.

The symbol of Swarajya.

Now this symbol will show us the way, sir.

Yes.

Hold this.

- Carefully. - Yes.

Carefully.

Hey.

Ravi, which way shall we go?

I don't know, sir.

But I am sure that one tunnel leads to the throne.

And the other might lead us to Tak Mak Tok.

From where culprits were pushed to die in the ravine.

We will have to go by our instincts.

Sir, look here.

Goddess Vishwavandita.

Pratipashchandra Lekhev Vardhishnu Vishwavandita.

Sir.

Goddess will show us the right way.

Thanks a lot.

Ravi.

- This way. - Yes, sir.

Our ancestors were geniuses, sir.

There were no advanced machineries at that time.

They built such a deep tunnel.

It's unbelievable.

Seriously, Ravi.

Our technique was unbelievable.

Almost every fort has such underground tunnels.

Sir.

- Ravi! - Sir.

The words that are written on the royal seal.

Sahasuno Shivsyaisha.

Shahji's son Shivaji Maharaj.

Sir.

- It shows that we should go this way. - Yes.

- Sir! - Yes?

- There? - Yes.

Sir, the doorway to our destination.

Mudra Bhadraya Rajte.

The throne.

My throne.

The royal seal.

The royal seal, sir.

Even after such a long quest,

we don't have all three parts of the key, sir.

I had promised you that I will take you to the throne.

We have come till here. But...

Perhaps there were never three parts of the key.

It was just a rumour spread by the Shiledars

to misguide people like us who are searching for the throne.

I got your father...

and Justice Dixit killed.

And that moron Ramachandran.

He was a small-time minister.

I made him the governor. He was my pawn.

He thought he was the heir of Vijayanagara Empire.

It's good for me.

Because I was searching for the throne...

in the guise of the treasure.

But, Ravi...

you were different.

Absolutely different.

After meeting you, I understood that,

although I spent my entire life on my quest for the throne,

only a Shiledar can take me there.

That's why to win your trust I called the police.

And I saved you from the police.

Why did you do all that?

Why?

Because the world

knows me as Shiv Charitrakar.

I...

Pratap Chandrarao,

am the true heir of Rairi.

Do you know what Rairi is?

It's what you people call Raigad.

It was ours.

My ancestors used to rule this place before Shivaji seized it.

Your Shivaji killed my ancestors brutally.

We didn't forget it.

My ancestors wanted to fight openly.

But it was not possible.

So a secret war was declared.

Generations passed, but the secret war is still going on.

The only difference is that my ancestors used to fight secretly.

But I cannot fight secretly.

Because I have realised that Shivaji is not just a name.

It's a philosophy.

This is the symbol

of that philosophy and history.

Don't turn, or else I'll shoot you!

I will destroy the throne.

And I, Pratap Chandrarao,

will destroy Shivaji's philosophy too.

Hey!

That door won't open, Pratap Rao.

Because there are three parts of the key.

Right from the beginning

I was suspicious of certain things that you said.

When I came to your house,

you called me a Shiledar.

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

How?

We have never met before.

I didn't tell you anything about myself.

How did you know I am a Shiledar?

Pratap Rao.

You played with me to get the throne.

And I played with you to find out your truth.

That's why I told you everything.

But I didn't tell you

that I have the third part of the key.

- Huh? - It's here.

Give me.

Give me the key!

Do you want the key?

Give it to me. Or else I will shoot.

Hey!

Ravi!

Your Shivaji's throne is now mine.

It belongs to Pratap Chandrarao.

It's mine.

Father, young Shivaji was petrified.

How did his mother console him?

You need courage to conquer fear.

The realisation of your duty gives you courage.

Call him Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

Fools like you don't deserve to take his name.

As long as the Shiledars are alive,

people like you cannot reach the throne.

Never!

Father, I have understood my duty.

It's to protect Shivaji Maharaj's heritage.

I promise you I will fulfil the duty of a true Shiledar.

I will always safeguard the honour of Shivaji Maharaj's throne.

As long as I am alive, I won't let Shivaji Maharaj's history

or Shiledars' prestige gets tarnished.

From today, I have only one goal in my life.

To fulfil my duty.

I, Ravi Shrikant Naik...

am a Shiledar.

I salute the golden throne

on which my Maharaj used to sit.

- Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj! - Long live!

- Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj! - Long live!

- Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj! - Long live!

- Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj! - Long live!
