Satakarni! Are you waiting for your father's
return from the war? Why do people wage war? I'm asking you, Mother.
Why do people fight? People don't wage wars.
It's their leaders. Not to rule them, but to show
their power and dominance. One kingdom will fight the other,
and it will fight with the another. Why do we have so many kingdoms? If we stay united, there won't be
any war, right? For that to happen,
a capable warrior should be born. I'm born for it. I'll unite all kingdoms as one. Then there will only be one war. It'll be mine. There will only be one kingdom. It'll be mine. Will you do it? It's a promise to you, Mother. 'GAUTAMIPUTRA SATAKARNI' 'Dear friend!' 'I'm writing you this letter' 'from the gory battlefield
of Kuntala.' 'This is our friendly warning.' 'We have occupied Kuntala.' 'We have occupied Kuntala.' 'For the past 18 months' 'the bloodstains on our swords
haven't dried.' 'Without any break and rest' 'I'm invading countries.' 'Except the kingdoms
Kalyandurg and Saurashtra' 'I'm proud to announce that
we occupied the rest of south.' 'By respecting our streak' 'and accepting our monarchy' 'surrender your sword
to my messenger.' 'I expect you to be
our chieftains.' 'There's no time left,
dear friend.' 'Do you want to beg for mercy
or battle against me?' 'As the future emperor of Bharat,
this is my order.' 'Satakarni, the Sovereign
of Satavahana Kingdom.' Along with the kingdom you've taken
from our emperor's father surrender your empire to him by accepting him as the sovereign. Satakarni is warning you
to work as his chieftain. He's asking for your sword
to symbolise your acceptance. I pity Satakarni. I pity Satakarni. He wouldn't be so reckless
if his father had brought him up. But his mother raised him
with indulgence. That's why even the battlefield
is like a playground for my King. He's the King for the provinces
that I've neglected. He's been a King for the
past 18 years. I thought he was inactive all these
years because he was scared. Is it not?
- Even waves can create ripples. But an ocean is always
calm on the surface. If it decided it create one
tiny ripple of its own then, nobody can survive that. And, it has, Your Majesty. Just try to protect yourself
from the ripples. Hey, envoy. It's not an achievement to defeat
the deccan kingdoms. My throne is protected by
a sea of army. Before he can reach the walls
of my court he'll suffer defeat, just like an
elephant caught by a crocodile. Do you want me to warn
him the same? Do you want me to warn
him the same? But he's like Lord Vishnu himself. Satakarni is a powerful sovereign. Think before you act, Your Majesty.
- Tell that to your King. This battle is not just against us. You'll be challenging the
Yavana's army, who's our allies. Your army isn't enough to bear
the strength of our army. But you cannot hope to defeat
our ally, the Greek King Parithus. Your army would never
compete with him. He asked me to remind
you that your alliance with those obnoxious foreigners
will be your biggest mistake. Also, to defeat that
young man, Parithus one tenth of our army would
be enough, beware. He asked me to give you my sword. If I did, it would be like
forgoing my empire. I'm asking for his son. If he did, his dynasty
would be at my mercy. My father, Bhoomakudu,
defeated Satakarni's grandfather and chased him to death. His father was defeated by me. His father was defeated by me. He begged me for mercy
and escaped my wrath. Remind him of all this. Tell him that Amaravati would be
reduced to rubble. Situations were different
back then, Your Highness. Now, Amaravati isn't as feeble
as it was back then. The subjects of Amaravati
have evolved. The people have become courageous. Because it's Satakarni's rule now. Minister, we have to present the
sword to signify our surrender. But what do we need to give
you to signify a war? What happens if we take
you hostage? - He'll come. I'll wait for him
in your captivity. What if I killed you? You'll come. I'll wait for you near
the doors of hell. People of Kalyandurg, it is
a warrior you're going against. He's a powerful warrior. He's the equal of a thousand
suns glare. Satavahana's monarch. Satakarni. We cannot live this peaceless
Satavahana kingdom. Satakarni's selfishness has already resulted in the destruction
of 29 kingdoms. Kingdom of Vanga has been ruined. Land of Kuntala has turned
into a place of bloodshed. Today, Kalyana Dweepam is going
to turn into a battlefield. You gave birth to a bloodlusting
beast, not a human being. You raised a war machine,
not a King. To bring about his victory do you know how many lives
are being snuffed out? With the blood of the soldiers
and the vermilion of married women the land is turning red. What's this lust for territory?
Why is there such a bloodshed? It is the virtue of a King. What is the virtue of a King?
- To uphold the law. What is law? It is something to be administered
and abided by. Is war something to be abided by? Is it something
to be administered? Believing that Amaravati is
a land of peace and expecting it to be future
Buddhist pilgrimage site we were living here. We can't stay here.
Allow us to leave. If you are seeking
permission to leave I am not the person to grant it. It's the King, who is building
monasteries for you. You will get answers
to all your questions. Wait for my son to arrive. He is the pride
of the Telugu people. A valiant warrior. Victory to Satakarni!
- Victory to Satakarni. Victory to Satakarni! Don't bow your head.
I've won that head. It is mine. It's not wrong if you seek war
or refuse to give up your kingdom. It is your pride. We both have the right
to rule this land. We are the sons
of the same soil. We are the sons
of the same soil. You joined with outsiders
like Yavana's. Is it wrong or not? For the support of a foreigner
who's increasing his kingdom I had to give up my principles. Forgive me, friend. - From now on,
you are our representative. As the chieftain of
Satavahana kingdom rule your kingdom peacefully. I'm appointing Deva Datta
as your advisor. Lord Satakarni, I'm blessed. The undefeated King. The greatest warrior. The wise and calm ruler. Hail Satavahana!
- Hail.. Hail King Satakarni.
- Hail.. Hail the successor of Satavahana.
- Hail.. Satakarni! That means the one with 100 ears. He'll know if we enter his land
no matter where. He's also known as Satakarna. That means the one with 100 hands. One hit is enough to kill 100 men. With the victory over
Kalyandurg all the southern countries
belong to Satakarni. Now, there are only two Kings
in the sub-continent. Now, there are only two Kings
in the sub-continent. Nahapana in the north and Satakarni in the south. Hey, are you married?
- Why? Will you marry me? I have two wives.
Are you okay being the third one? I have three husbands. Are you okay being the fourth one?
- That's okay, you can take him. It's fine if there are five, six
or even ten. Let's go to the King
and have a rule that woman should have
only one husband. Don't do it. He'll pass a rule that
even men should have only one wife. Hey, girl.
Are you married? Mallaya..
You'll never change. Hey?
- Your Majesty! Did you fight in the war
with that body? I killed 30 men, Your Majesty.
- Wow. His name is Bhala Bhimikudu.
He's my man. He killed my men and became
our man. You are good. You should continue the same valour
with the fight of Sharats too. Okay?
- Yes, Your Majesty. Friend!
- Yes! Friend!
- Yes! It's not as easy to defeat Nahapana
as you defeated me. Even with both our forces combined we have the fourth of the forces
Saurashtra has. It's not the force that'll
win the war, Kanji. It's the strategy. Nahapana's fort is surrounded
by Vindhya mountains. We have to cross the
three valleys at once. Chitra Kutam on one side,
Vijaya Krastam on another and Dharma dhamam
on the third side. The princes of these kingdoms
are in captive of Nahapana.. I meant, guests who are captivated. The first condition is that none
of these should attack Saurashtra. The second condition is to hold
anyone who comes to attack. All the three kingdoms are waiting
for their children. The remaining kingdoms which
I should win in this sub-continent are in the control of Nahapana. He's a despicable person
who killed the messenger. If I own Saurashtra
after defeating that one person our empire will be unified
under a single rule. What is it, my friend? Are you thinking how
will I achieve something Are you thinking how
will I achieve something that warriors like Ashok
and Chandragupta couldn't? I must accomplish. Your Majesty! The Queen is returning
from Dhanyakatakam. Father!
- Pulumavi! How are you?
- I'm fine. How is your grandmother?
- She is fine. He is Shiva Shree Satakarni. It's my father's name. This is the first time you
are seeing him, right? When I was conceived,
you left for war. Here is the wedding anniversary
gift for my Queen. Here is the wedding anniversary
gift for my Queen. You shouldn't cry at happy moments. You won't stay with me at all
times, let me have them at least. Oh, God!
You've suffered many wounds. Jewellery make a woman beautiful,
so are wounds for men. Of all the men, I married
a warrior. My bad. Now this warrior is ready
for romance. Oh, my God!
The child is hungry, dear. Don't cry my sweetheart. Oh, no!
Are you hungry, dear? Only women can fulfil the hunger
of a child and a man equally. Women are really great. You can only remember women
and culture in the bedroom, right? Why do you say that? Nothing, dear. What do you want, Vashishthi? I need all those old
and memorable days. Will you give? What do you mean by that? You weren't going to war. I want the Satakarni that
I fell in love with. The one who disguised himself
and came to my kingdom in search of me as
a general public. As you were a naive, I decided to
marry you against my parents wish. But later came back as the King threatened everyone and married me. I understood. Be ready in the morning. What for? Let's go out and roam
around as general public. Let's go to the carnival and have
fun without any restrictions. It's worth believing. Satakarni! Like this.. Does the Queen know
about Prince Pulumavi? I didn't tell her yet, Deva Datta. I'll have a find the right
time to inform her. She is a mother, right! What are you doing?
Fight properly. Prince is teaching me,
Your Majesty. He is not teaching me well. Okay, come on. As soon as possible,
we need to get ready for the war before Nahapana makes a move. Is your wife out of town?
- Yes. Won't you visit her?
- I have to go. "Oh, King!" "Oh, King! Won't you promise me
that you'll never leave my side?" "Oh, my love! Will you
get tied up with my heart?" "Darling, your fineness have
intertwined my heart" "and I'm imprisoned in your
magnanimity." "I can't leave anywhere now." "Like you hold the pot on your hip" "embrace me with your love." "I can feel the warmth
of our love." "Oh, sweet heart,
come and feel the love." "I'm not able to recognise" "between hot and cold
because of you." "Is it hot or cold?" "Who cares if it is hot or cold
or even what hour it is?" "Let's walk together all our life
without counting days" "Let's walk together all our life
without counting days" "and wherever it is." "Oh, Queen! I cannot promise you
that I'll stay. - Won't you?" "Oh, love! I'll not get tied up
with your heart." "While playing on the streets
without caring about others" "let's relish these happy
moments of life." "When I was with you
while doing all this" "people will envy us and wish
to be a part of it" "to experience the love we have
for each other." "Oh, King!" Wouldn't it be nice to live
like this for sometime? - No way. Saurashtra Nahapana would
escape the death. Is there another war? I mean..
- I don't need an explanation. Let's not talk about the war
during our happy moments. There are bangles.
Come, buy and wear me some. Vashishthi, our Pulumavi..
- Yes, let's buy something for him. What's the cost of this toy, boy? Two gold coins, ma'am. I feel like I'm giving you away
for our child. Make it fast, dear.
We have to close the shop. Take it. Oh, God! Do you know
whose image is on those coins? Oh, God! Do you know
whose image is on those coins? It's King Satakarni.
- Whoever it is. Why would he print his pictures
on the coins instead of God's? You threw the coins down and
what nonsense are you blabbering? Our King is equal to the God.
Seek forgiveness.. You too should do it. Rajamma, the drama has started.
- Which drama? King Satakarni's story is
being told near the canopy. - Oh! He is the son of King Amaravati.
He was born in Koti Lingala. Go and watch.
- Okay.. Let's go. Come. "The name of the brave child
who sat on a lion is Satakarni." "The name of the one who
rides furiously is Satakarni." "He smiles as cute as a kid." "He is the bravest
who defeated a lion.." "He is from the clan
who rode lions." "He is from the clan
who rode lions." "A successor who upheld
his clan's reputation.." "That child.."- Is this a new story
for you, Vashishthi? - Who knows? I don't know how many stories of
you are out there. - "Satakarni.." "...with the wishes of immortals,
the blessings of Gods" "and the objectives
of Gautami Balashri" "comprised and made him powerful
gradually." "Every morsel that his
mother fed him" "taught him the lessons
of courage and bravery." "Lessons of courage and bravery.." "All the weapons became his toys..
- Became his toys.." "At an early age, he was
enthroned. - He was enthroned.." "Hail the King Satakarni..
- Hail the King Satakarni.." "If he was enthroned so early,
then what about his marriage?" What about his marriage?
- "Yes.. I'll tell about that." What about his marriage?
- "Yes.. I'll tell about that." "An outstanding girl Vashishthi
loved him who stole his heart." "An outstanding girl Vashishthi
loved him who stole his heart." "She had a pleasing smile.
She was a polite and humble lady." "Vashishthi married me." "They were an adorable couple.
Their love was very strong." "There are no words
to describe them." "Let's hope there are no
problems in their life." "Cast away the evil eyes
on them." "An outstanding girl Vashishthi
loved him who stole his heart." "Why will they face problems
when the evil eye is casted away?" "After these many days,
they had to face a problem." "There was a King by name Nahapana
who was cruel and heartless." "He kidnapped the princes
and imprisoned them." "He kidnapped the princes
and imprisoned them." "He did not fear to face anyone
and also fight in the battle." "Oh, God! How dare he kidnaps
all the princes" "and challenge us to face him
in the battle?" "Did the King Satakarni hear this?" "Satakarni sent a word to stop
all these and live in peace." "As a part of his victory parade,
he sent a message." "Satakarni ordered Nahapana
to surrender himself" "and he would spare his life." "So, what did Nahapana say?" "He asked to send his own son." "His own son." "He sent a word to apologise
by sacrificing his son." "He sent a word." "King Satakarni agreed to his
request and sent a word." "King Satakarni agreed to his
request and sent a word." "Impossible.." "Undefeated, unbeatable and a great
warrior like King Satakarni" "agreed to give his own son
to an enemy?" "We'll not believe you." "But this is the truth." "Nobody knows the intention
of that King. Oh, God." "What would happen to Vashishthi
Devi if she knows about this?" "Oh, God." "What's her husband thinking" "and what would
happen to her child?" You sent a word to come here
on the wedding day. You cheated! Is that all to kill our son? Your promise is your problem. But he's my son and it's my pain. How can you give him? I have promised that I'll go there
with my son, but not to give him. I have promised that I'll go there
with my son, but not to give him. It was your pain,
but he even shares my blood. When your blood was in your body,
it was yours. But I gave him life
and he's mine. You want to take the child
to a war. Are you really a father? Vashishthi! You will understand only when you
get conceived and give birth. He is my son. I won't send him. You must send him!
I'm ordering you as a King. Hiranya!
- Wait. I didn't pay heed to my husband,
why would I listen to the King? I'm taking my son from here
and leaving immediately. Hiranya!
- My son. Pulumavi!
My son. As the mother,
you carried him for nine months. As a father, I'll carry him
in my heart all my life. Pulumavi is not only my
lovable son. He is the successor of the
Satakarni clan. He is the successor of the
Satakarni clan. Will I just leave him? Will I let him die? When I had a baby
you left for war. In the same manner, you are taking
our other baby to the war. Are you a human? Do you know what are you doing? Our son is imprisoned by Nahapana. Look there. Satakarni is
taking his son to the war. Should I go fight along with him? Dad, we are going the war, right? Dad, we are going the war, right? You never took me with you
for a war before. Then why are you taking me now? Our enemy wants to meet you.
- Me? Why is that? It's a valorous sign to see kids
before die. Don't they have kids? Satakarni's army is reaching
the battlefield. If anything were to happen
to my son I'll die too. If anything happens to our
princes lives he promised that he will give away
all his fortunes to the kid's mother
and sacrifice his life. This war is not for me
or my son. It's for all our children. You challenged him revengefully
as he asked your son. If your son had been his captive
would you have done this? If your son had been his captive
would you have done this? If it was for revenge,
I alone is enough for this. My son will not be involved. Your princes are imprisoned
by Nahapana. I won't take revenge
in your mourning's. I'm devoted to motherhood. I'll go with my son.
I'll return all your princes. They are running away. Satavahana army have crossed
the Vindhya mountain range. Did he cross the Vindhya mountains?
But how? Then what are our
chieftains doing? Satakarni's army has entered
Saurashtra, Your Majesty. Father-in-law, you can't trust
Satakarni.. - If we are courageous we must move forward
or give way to the other. Pray that our prince should
return home safely. Satakarni has prepared to fight
against Nahapana. I don't know about
other's destiny. But I'm the one who's
going to kill him. I'll face them. Your Majesty, they must be your
equals not just to fight you but also to converse with you. They're nothing compared to you.
We'll deal with him. There are no parents who can
beget my equals on this earth. He asked for my kid.
So I must answer him. Daily at this hour,
mother would tell me stories. Please tell me a story. We shouldn't tell stories, Puluma. People should tell stories
of our glory. Shall I tell you a good story?
- Tell me. Long ago there was a King. The King had seven sons.
- Okay. They went fishing
and brought seven fish. They laid them out
to dry in the sun.. We appreciate that you deferred
to us and brought your son. I'm Emperor Nahapana's
son-in-law Vrushabhadatta. Surrender your son,
along with your sword at my father's feet and leave..
- Sounds interesting. They laid out the fish to dry. Why didn't one of those fish dry? One of those fish didn't dry. When it was asked
why it hadn't dried.. When it was asked
why it hadn't dried.. Satakarni! This is not child's play. This a battle with the Sharats. This Kshatrapa fort was built
with the blood of our enemies. You can't even reach
the shadows of its walls. What happened after that? One of those fish didn't dry. When
it was asked why it hadn't dried it said it was being shadowed
by a haystack.. - Satakarni! Ask how..
- What happened next? ...I reduced your Satavahana Empire
to rubble under your father's rule. You'll learn about the strength
of my iron fist. Drat! That was past.
I'm the future. Before I hunt you down,
leave the fort and run away. Or else even God cannot
rescue you from me. Surrender.
I'll spare you. Fight me.
I'll give you death. Will you fight or surrender? Son, do you know
the moral of this story? King should fight to protect
their kingdom. They should strive
to uphold justice. If we busy ourselves
with fishing and hunting we will become a laughing stock. You primitives live on the fringes
of this country. Why are you so arrogant? We are not primitives.
We are Telugus. We are not low-born.
We are nobles. We are the protectors
of this country. We are the warriors,
and the roots of this sacred land. Hiranya! Beat the battle drums! Hey, Satakarni. I will behead your son and stamp on that head before I occupy that throne. Drat!
Let alone killing my son you can't even touch the dust on the hoof of my horse,
which has crossed three seas. I'm breaching your fort
and am coming for you. Fellow warriors of Satakarni! Besiege the enemy! Deafen yourselves
to the death cries! Blind yourself to everything
but the death of your enemies. Vrushabadatta! The surroundings should reverberate with the screams of your enemies.
- Hail! Victory is ours! Glory to the Satavahana Empire! Hail.. Get the catapults ready! Hurl! Attack! Shoot the arrows! Slaughter them. Glory to the Shaka Kingdom..
- Glory.. Glory.. Glory the Shaka Kingdom!
- Glory.. Attack them. Pour the oil. Shoot the fire arrows. Ugrasena!
- Your Majesty. It's difficult to breach the fort.
We have lost half of our men. We shouldn't let him rest. When the army is at its weakest you have to destroy it.
- That's against the war ethics. War ethics? Hell with the war ethics. Your Majesty, this is unethical. It's sunset time. They haven't stopped attacking
even after trumpeting. In the morrow,
without entering the courts we can't expect to win,
Your Majesty. Vashishthi! It's been three days since you ate. It's been three days since you ate. Have some food, dear. You knew that he would take
my son to the war. Still, you sent us
to Kalyandurg. Isn't that true? Eat. How can I have an appetite? My son is in the war. My son is in the war too. Puluma will be safe. Release! Gandaraya! Your Majesty, he's hiding in
a protective shell in that court. The strength of our stones
isn't enough. Victory isn't possible
without crossing the wall. Raze our bridge down. Our bridge? Do it. Point it towards our bridge. Hail the Satavahana Satakarni.
- Hail! Your Majesty. I understood, Your Majesty.
But it's a risky task.. My son is the future of this
kingdom. Take care of him. Load it. Fast. Release! Come on. Your Majesty,
we found out the place. We need to take the
third division to the north. Kalaveera, those kids of chieftains must be killed before
he gets them. Kill them. Your Majesty! - Yes! - Chieftain's
kids are with Satakarni. I want his son. Hey, old man! Should I kill you first
or the boy? Your Majesty, it's Prince Pulumavi. Mister! Will you kill me or
should I kill you? This is the courage
of the Telugus. That's how the successors
of Satakarni will be. Satakarni! Come. Tell me now.
Do you want mercy or battle? There is no time friend! Do you want mercy or battle? To extend your territory,
you wanted me dead. Nahapana! This battle is not fought
for my son or your kingdom. This is for the future generations. Numerous boundaries
on a single land and uncountable alliances
in a single race shouldn't exist. The battle is over. Every soldier who fought
here belongs to us now. Every soldier who fought
here belongs to us now. Including Nahapana,
who is going to die in a moment. Vrushabhadatta, I'm giving
you your father-in-law's throne. Maintain peace and become a satrap
for Satavahana's. Rule with wisdom. Hinanishchari shall be
your official supervisor. From Himadri till the south sea from Sahyadri to east sea Anga, Kalinga, Kadamba, Kalabhra Kosala, Kuntala, Konkana, Vidarbha Avanthi, Anupa, Abhira, Aparaatha Kukura, Akara, Ashika, Asmaka Mulaka, Maaluma, Mahishaka, Magada and along with Chera,
Choda, Pandya, Saurashtra everything should be one
as a single state. Unity doesn't mean
joining the kingdoms. The people have to be united
irrespectively. The people here live
by cultivating the land and suffer due to their
disparities. The Yavana's will come for me. You cannot stop the warriors
of Greek who defeated the world. What? Let their fathers
and forefathers come. No matter whoever comes
to occupy this land like you I'll stop them in their
path and kill them all. I'll stop them in their
path and kill them all. Let them come, I'm ready. The great and glorious warrior. The preserver of Satavahana
lineage. The destroyer of bravery
and courage with his presence. The ruler of this great kingdom. Hail the King of Satavahana. Hail the King of Satavahana..
- All the dwellers of Satavahana look, the ones our warrior
is bringing are not swords. They are 33 thrones. Himachala, Vindyachala,
Saki, Sresta Krishna, Shakola and Malaya
Mahendra's signs of Satavahana's which fly on their bodies. Hail the ruler of Satavahana's.
- Hail. Hail the emperor of Satavahana's.
- Hail. Hail the ruler of unified country.
- Hail. Hail.. Hail.. This whole land is one
big kingdom from now on. War should become the answer. Mother! But your battle has raised
many questions. Emperor! Did you bring us a unified kingdom or a platoon of dead bodies? We were staying here because
we thought this land is peaceful and can tolerate every religion
and path with acceptance. This place is a death valley now. We cannot stay here anymore.
We are leaving. Go. You teach peace
and I'm removing conflict. You search for light
and I kill the darkness. Our paths are different,
but goal is the same. This whole country is peaceful now.
This land is a heaven. You can stay anywhere peacefully.
Go. Melt these 33 swords and make
a great sword. Melt these 33 swords and make
a great sword. When he valiantly sits on
the throne with the sword the whole world should envy him. Hail King Satakarni.
- Hail. Make arrangement
for imperial sacrifice from Koti Lingala to every corner
of this kingdom. Send invitations
to all our chieftains. This is a precious moment. It's a great sacrifice that no
other King performed in this era. It's an imperial sacrifice that
Dharma Raju did in Dwapara era. This will show that this rule
has no competition in all the worlds above us.
- Hail. A man without his wife is not
eligible for this sacrifice. I'm here because your mother
Gautami pleaded me to. After this, I'm going back
to my parent's house. A great kingdom
without living people. You can rule it
with your mother together. Hail.
Hail King Satakarni. Satakarni is showing there's no
competition for him with this imperial sacrifice. Our King went back to Amaravati
with shame. Imperial sacrifice. Imperial sacrifice. All the kings
will be present there. I'll come down by occupying
from Sindh. Nine powerfully built warriors who
can look into the eyes of death will go along with you. I understood, Your Majesty. Our King will help them in
infiltrating the fort. Satakarni, who's inattentive
because of the celebrations will be killed by our warriors. You'll reach Amaravati
by occupying from Sindh. The united India which
Alexander cannot win will be mine. Demetrius, the King who surpassed
Alexander will become historic. You won over the kingdoms
of this land but you are losing your wife. When your wife is not
complying with you. Will the country comply? Woman is not an animal
to keep in control, Mother. Women in our kingdom
are free to make their choice. Women in our kingdom
are free to make their choice. It's not up to the King to decide. The people should follow that too. A King should not act according
to the public. The public should follow
the ordinances of the King. So, dominance is more important
to you than your personal life? So, like everyone said,
this is the thirst for dominance. Yes, Mother.
Thirst for dominance. I want the power to live
for this land. I want the power to die
for the sake of my people. A country united after killing
many people. A kingdom drenched by the tears
of thousands of wives. I cannot leave this for my wife. I thought you changed but even you wife or the kingdoms
you won couldn't change you. A man without modesty
and arrogance is the leader. The one eligible
for imperial sacrifice. Your Majesty, the time for the last
part in this imperial sacrifice is going to start soon. It's called 'Agra' veneration. In this creation, only God
is above everything else. We're all dependant and our
actions will have consequences. This 'Agra' veneration
will teach you that there is someone greater than
you no matter how great you are. In Dwapara era, Dharma Raj did this
to Lord Sri Krishna. Now, this is your turn. Choose someone who's greater than
you and perform 'Agra' veneration and make them sit on that throne. I'll would like to offer
the throne to my mother. I'm giving this offering
to my mother. This is wrong.
This is against the rules. Agra veneration for a woman? Your Majesty, we
don't want your power. But we can't take the humiliation. A woman cannot sit on that throne. She's even a widow.
This is wrong. This is belittling the holy
tradition Arsha Dharma. It's not a mistake to honour
your mother. That's your personal choice. But this is a public decision. Follow the eternal laws.
- Eternal law? What is an eternal law? It's a woman who gave you
the life. It's a woman who taught
you to speak. You were a blood sack that
saw the light through a woman. Doesn't your mother qualify
for something you are? I'm not just giving this offering
to my mother. It's for Mother. What our mother teaches is the law. Our mother is our first teacher. Our mother deserves
to be worshipped. Our mother is everything. There can be sons who are greater
than their fathers. Is there any son who is greater
than his mother? Is there any son who is greater
than his mother? Tell me if there is.
I'll give him this offering. Who amongst you is one.. Are you a child greater
than your mother? No one is wondrous than
his mother in any aspect. As a symbol for that from
this moment I'll rule this land as
Gautamiputra Satakarni. My son will be
Vashishthiputra Pulumavi. Hail Gautamiputra Satakarni.
- Hail. King Gautamiputra Satakarni.
- Hail. Pride of Satavahana
Gautamiputra Satakarni. - Hail. The great Gautamiputra Satakarni.
- Hail. Hail Gautamiputra Satakarni.
- Hail.. Hail.. Hail..
Hail King Satakarni. - Hail. Hail King Satakarni.
- Hail. From now on in this kingdom,
there will only be one way of life. Only one principle,
only one measurement. Anything from Anga
can be bought in Kalinga. Anything from Kosala
can be sold in Kuntala. I'm giving the land that's
left useless between kingdoms to the poor farmers. From now on, this united land
should be prosperous. Every village should be a jewel. Hail Satakarni.. This is the start of an era. From now on,
as Bharata land and Bharata year according to the
Jambudvipa calender according to the
Jambudvipa calender Shalivahana era will start
from today. Every year on this day
as the beginning of a year this day will be celebrated
as Ugadi. Hail King Satakarni..
- Hail.. Hail King Satakarni..
- Hail.. Your Majesty,
it's restricted to go beyond this. Oh! Is it restricted? Fine. So, you are here. Take this. The nose ring of this
house's daughter-in-law. Give it to someone else.
I'm leaving tomorrow. Is it enough if you give this back?
I gave you much more. I too gave a lot. If we were to count those,
you'll be in my debt. What about the kids? They will be with their mother. Can they stay here with me
for tonight? Very well.
I'm glad you didn't ask me to stay. Come on.. Since the enemy entered into
the fort crossing the guards we have some traitors among us. My Queen, you saved our motherhood
along with your husband. Your husband will be safe no matter
how many of these attacks happen. You risked your child's life to save our children
from that monster. to save our children
from that monster. You became a better woman than
your mother-in-law by sending your kid at a tender
age to the battle scene. Everytime my child addresses me
as mom, I remember your sacrifice. It's just not Queen Mother Gautami
who made him the way he is. It's his trust in a great woman
like you too. Do you know what our King
told the chieftains? Your Majesty, will
Vashishthi Devi agree for this? Isn't she a mother too? She's not just my better half,
she even shares my aspiration. She'll never act against my wish
in the case of justice and truth. Vashishthi Devi,
you share his aspirations as well. Vashishthi! Can you remember tears too? Heart is the home for tears
and eyes are their gate way. I own both of them. You said you would go
to you parents, right? I'm not a coward to run away
from a battle. I'm greater than my mother-in-law. Wow! Since when is this?
- Am I not? When you held the sword in the war my child held his father
and came back victorious. Come on. You told me to give
this to someone else, right? But I have come.
Give me.. - You want this.. Give me.. "Why did your soul tremble?" "Why did your soul tremble?" "Why are those eyes
filled with worry?" "Why are you terrified, oh,
the one with beautiful eyes?" "Why are you terrified, oh,
the one with beautiful eyes?" "In this intimate moment" "when we are celebrating our love." "when we are celebrating our love." "I'll bid you about it." "I'll bid you about it." "Why do you require an army,
when we have a bond" "that's ought to win
anything for us?" "At the hour I won your beauty" "At the hour I won your beauty" "your love brought me the heaven
to this earth." "Why are you terrified, oh,
the one with beautiful eyes?" "Why are you terrified, oh,
the one with beautiful eyes?" "Why are you terrified, oh,
the one with beautiful eyes?" "Why are you terrified, oh,
the one with beautiful eyes?" "The warmth in me at every moment" "is either my rage or your beauty." "The determination in your breath" "is the witness of your ordinance." "Shall I be behind you
in your every step as the King?" "I'll bid you about it." "I'll bid you about it." "Why are you terrified, oh,
the one with beautiful eyes?" "Why are you terrified, oh,
the one with beautiful eyes?" Who are you? Your Majesty! Her name is Athena. She is a foreigner
from the western land. Her grandfather was an explorer. They settled in the Sindh province of our country as they were
delighted by our tradition. Take this. For delighting
and for enthralling us. I heard a lot about your
bravery and prowess. And now I had the chance and luck
to meet your highness. We are glad to meet you too. Your Majesty! My friend, this is great. An amazing display
of sculpted beauty. Are these real sculptures or your
memories of our sister? These show the workman ship
of Telugu sculptures. Did you take a look at those? They were the elephants sculpted
by our grandfather Haala. King should bear the burden
of his people like elephant. An elephant follows another without
any deviation from the path. The last elephant couldn't even
see the one in the front. But the path and destination
will remain the same. There should be trust
and a trunk to hold on. Amazing, my friend. Amazing, my friend. Even the chieftains
should do the same. They should follow their King
at all times. If there is even one who doesn't
comply with the chain of command everything will go in vain. We have two of such rebels. What
should we do about them, my friend? From Alexandra to Demetrius is our country a brothel to enter
whenever you want to? Have to made a pact with Yavana's
or not? Did you help the enemies to enter
into the fort or not? I defeated you. You didn't correct your way. I forgave you.
But you didn't change. I killed you now. Now, there's no need to change. There's another one
just like him here. There's another one
just like him here. There's no time, my friends. Forgive me, Your Majesty. Demetrius from Yavana attacked
on the Sindh province. They turned the peaceful tourist
grounds into a cemetery. Many temples are being destroyed. Kangira, the King of Kalyani
sent me a message. He gave me hope that he would let
me and my kingdom alone if I help the Yavana forces. Out of selfishness I had
to do this, Your Majesty. A new era started with
the defeat of Sharats. With the burial of Yavana's we must complete the last rights
of western atrocities. This should be the last war. We were able to stand our ground
till now. From now on, we must
occupy more ground. We must clean the atrocities
in our country with the blood of those invaders. Let's kill anyone we catch and chase away the ones we don't. No matter what happens let's make our country proud.
- Hail the undivided India.. Hail the undivided India..
- Hail.. Hail the undivided India..
- Hail.. Make arrangements to go to
Kotilingeshwara temple. Hold the weapon after praying to the Goddess Shakti to keep your husband safe, dear. This is not just an ordinary sword. I united 33 kingdoms. This legendary sword shall cry about the prowess
of your husband to the whole world. The sword in the hands of a warrior is what keeps him safe
in the face of danger. This is a veneration that will
save your husband, dear. Dear Vashishthi! Since the body is turned blue the emperor is in danger
of being poisoned. A weapon never lies. An ore is always filled with truth. Earth will give birth
and fire will turn that into ash. Water will drench
and sky will vaporise. Air will be life to all this. Nature doesn't decide for itself
like a human. The forces of nature
are predicting this. You must heed to this, dear. I cannot tell what would happen
if the King goes for war. Yuvana forces are inside our border
in Sindh. Their next target is
Kekeya Kingdom. That is where we will fight. The place where
those pest will die. This is the highland. This is the highland. We must reach there before them. It would be easy to attack
from a higher ground. Yuvana forces are ten times
to us. They have the chances to win but we have a necessity to win. Every one of us should be alive
until they kill at least 10 men. That's enough.
After that's it's up to the God. It is really enough? Is it okay if they die after that? Vashishthi! Please don't go to the war. Many have sacrificed
their lives already. I cannot let anyone die anymore. I cannot let you die
at any cost. You are my life. I need you.. Vashishthi, what happened? Poison.
- What? Poison. Deadly poison. Your body will be full of poison. I saw that. They'll kill you in the war, dear. Weapon doesn't lie. Even our great priest
told us the same. Vashishthi! Vashishthi! You said what you saw. I have to tell you my dream now. Dream?
- Yes. Dream. Dharmanandana! My daughter-in-law is seeing bad
omens about my son being poisoned. That's not an omen, Queen Mother. It's an instruction. Can't you help us? You can see many villages
from here. But I saw a divided, isolated
and weakened country. I was five years then. Satakarni! Are you waiting for your father's
return from the battle field? Why do we fight, Mother? I asked you a question.
Why are the people fighting? I asked you a question.
Why are the people fighting? People are not fighting. It's their leaders. Not to rule them, but to show
their power and dominance. One kingdom on another and another
kingdom on another and so on. Why do we have these many kingdoms? If we stay united, there won't be
any war, right? A warrior should be born
who can do it. I am right here. You?
- Yes. I'll unite all the kingdoms
into one. Then there will be only one war. Then there will be only one war. That will be my war. That will be my war. Then there will be only
one kingdom. Then there will be only
one kingdom. That too is mine. Really?
- It's my promise to you. That was my dream since
I was five. It won't fade away even if I die. Vashishthi! I've achieved that. I kindled a blazing flame
by uniting scattered twigs. But this is not enough. I must make sure this will pass
on to the next generation. This should continue
till the end of time. This should continue
till the end of time. I must stop the western pride
that's treading into the country at the limits of this country
and bury it there. There's not enough time,
Vashishthi. Either victory or martyrdom. "Hail the King.." "The immortal King who gained
glory enough for centuries." "The boy born on the dawn,
the child of Gautami, Satakarni." "Hail.." "As a light in the pitch dark,
he ruled the kingdom with valour." "He's the symbol of peace
etched on the bloody sword." "Hail the King.." "You were here as the virtue
of your mother." "As the son of an inspirational
mother, take our love with you." "As the son of an inspirational
mother, take our love with you." This is the antidote
for the poison. Priest Dharmanandana told me
to give this to you. I'm very thankful. Don't misunderstand me because I'm sending you
even after knowing the risk. This war is inevitable. You know me better
than myself. This is not above
your knowledge, Mother. Go, my son. Victory shall be yours. "You are a victor who can defeat
even the heavens." "Hail the King.." "You are the creator of.."
- Vashishthi! One can have a goal
and a million soldiers. But his mother's sword will
determine the outcome of the war. His wife's smile
will give him victory. His wife's smile
will give him victory. Look. I'm not just sending my husband
for the war. I'm sending the one who's going
to create history. I have equal share in your war too not just in your determination. Be safe. Are you ready?
- Yes. Yes.. 'Mahisha, Kulabhara, Kadhamba,
Ghovardhana, Naarasaala.' 'Kalinga, Asmaka, Kosala,
Vidharba, Dasardha.' My mom told me a story
when I was a kid. It's a story about a lion
and an ant. An ant bit a lion. What happened after that
can be guessed by anyone! It died when the lion
smashed it. After that, another ant bit
the lion. The lion killed that ant as well. And another ant after that,
and another after that and so on. One after another, the ants
are biting the lion and dying. So, the lion got restless and
caught an ant to ask a question. Hey, ant. How dare you bite the King
of the jungle? I'm killing your fellow ants
right in front of you. Didn't you see that? Aren't you scared of me? Then the ant laughed
and questioned him. Have you ever seen an ant
that ran away from death? In this nature, there are only
two beings that are fearless. In this nature, there are only
two beings that are fearless. One is a lion
and the another one is an ant. A lion will chase you and kill an ant will keep biting until
it dies to show what it is. Every soldier of this land
should show the tenacity of an ant and win like a lion. Bang the drums of victory
for tomorrow! "The bells of victory rang in our
hearts to kill the enemy." "Our eyes were blazed with anger
to burn the darkness out of here." "Your unleashed sword..
- Is the end of your enemy." "With belief in you..
- Roar loud and hard." "With belief in you..
- Roar loud and hard." "Who can face us?" "When you say those words you'll
be the danger to the danger." "He is our reliance,
so march with bravery." "War is our path
so fight with all your might." "He is our reliance,
so march with bravery." "War is our path
so fight with all your might." "When you're struck with fatigue..
- Those devils will be trembled." "When you are soaked in blood..
- The sky will lose its breath." "They'll praise you for that." "When you roar like a lion..
- Anyone shall tremble like deer." "When they see your rage..
- They'll see the God of death." "You can't get tired
without a fight." "When you enter the arena
the tides turns in your favour." "When you go to raid,
the enemy forces are just insects." "Without chasing your enemy
to the borders" "your force will not
stop its roar." "This is our flag,
the witness of this land's power." "He is our reliance,
so march with bravery." "War is our path
so fight with all your might." "He is our reliance,
so march with bravery." "War is our path
so fight with all your might." "He is our reliance,
so march with bravery." "War is our path
so fight with all your might." "He is our reliance,
so march with bravery." "War is our path
so fight with all your might." Warriors, nobody cares about the
agony of a mother over childbirth. They only care about the
baby that comes afterward. We don't have time to waste. Let's win this war,
even if it's through death. Are you ready?
- We're ready. We're ready.. Are you ready?
- We're ready. We're ready.. Attack! Hail Gautamiputra Satakarni.
- Hail.. Hail Gautamiputra Satakarni.
- Hail.. Hail Gautamiputra Satakarni.
- Hail. They're an army of
one lakh soldiers. But we have three lakh soldiers. We've already killed
25,000 soldiers. But we've lost 60,000 soldiers. So, what? We still have
2,40,000 soldiers left. Now, they're only left with
75,000 soldiers. Even if the war continued by third day,
their numbers will dwindle. Our army will prevail. This country will be ours. Demetrius, even if Satakarni
is the only man standing he'll take us all down. You've seen him in the battle. But I've seen the courage in him. Does that mean he has no death? There is death for him.
His death's name is Athena. A woman can attain what
a vast army couldn't. As the days pass,
our army will wane. As the days pass,
our army will wane. This war must come
to an end in a day. How can we bring down an army of
three lakh soldiers in one day? That is impossible. Like the stars that invade the sky we have to invade their army. We shouldn't follow only one rule. Whatever the path
our soldiers are taking it should be ambiguous
to their army. Our horses shouldn't
even listen to us. Even they shouldn't know
the path we're taking. Darkness should ascend even
in a broad day light. When the horses are
blindly moving around we need to attack the enemies
with an element of confusion. We need to blindfold the horses. And rein them in tight. The hooves of these horses will
maraud the endless enemy soldiers. If I find Demetrius even if he is alive or dead,
he'll bow to the Satavahana empire. Your Majesty, there's a messenger
from the enemy with a news. 'It's a King's trait
to praise the glory.' 'Your army's feat in
today's battle pleased me.' 'But the loss of too many lives
has made me think.' 'But the loss of too many lives
has made me think.' 'It's our duty to make a pact
that's fair to both of us.' 'If you agree, I'll let you know
about my views to you in solitary.' 'I hope you invite me.
Hereby, Yavana King, Demetrius.' Your Majesty, don't believe this. This is our enemy's ruse. It's a King's duty to submit to
the protection of his subjects. I agree. Ask him to come. What gives you the courage
to challenge a Greek army? Do you think you're greater
than the Supreme being? Do you think you're greater
than the Supreme being? Do you consider yourself
stronger than Chandragupta? That day, I mistook you for
a dancer after seeing you dance. Now, I see that you're
my enemy's envoy. The throne will be yours,
but the decree will be ours. You'll be the rulers,
but the rule will be ours. If you agree to this,
even I'll be yours. Let's lead this world
under the Greek rule. What do you say? Go. Let alone ruling this land I won't even let your people
to beg in our land. The final step that the Greek
takes on this land.. Your blood doesn't have
courage in them now. It's the poison. I've infused you with
a deadly poison. You've lost your voice already. Slowly and steadily,
you'll lose your sight. Your blood will be marred. Your life will be
snatched from you. I'm not just an envoy, Satakarni. I'm Parithus's lover,
whom you killed in Kalyandurg. Your death is what I'm gifting my Parithus. Die. Goodbye. Your Majesty.. Your Majesty, what happened? Your Majesty, what happened? "I bow to the roaring God of fire
who has taken the place of" "blue-necked Shiva,
husband of Uma." "I pray to you, oh, Lord.." "You're the champion,
who conquers the heaven." "Hail, you universal monarch.." "You're the ruler,
who can create a dream." "Hail, you universal monarch.." "Hail, you universal monarch.." "The elixir which flamed as
a dangerous annihilator." "The one who held
the poison at his neck." "Come now, to help us." "May you long live.." "The foe's wrath
resulted in a sin" "that has left you poisoned.
But we're calling out to you." "Come to us." "Let the inferno that's
raging in you" "abolish the enemies
invading our land." "Your Highness." "Hail, you universal monarch.
May you long live." "The most dangerous,
guardian of law and order" "is stamping down the evil doers." "Cut through our pains
and protect us from evil." "You're the incarnation
as a protector of the people." "The most dangerous,
guardian of law and order" "is stamping down the evil doers." "Cut through our pains
and protect us from evil." "You're the incarnation
as a protector of the people." "Protector of the people." "Protector of the people." Soldiers of Yavana, be ready. Those flags are already torn. Our army's breath is enough
to blow it away. This country must have been
conquered by Alexander long ago. Let's conquer it. Kalingaraya, what is the matter? I can't fight a battle
without a leader. True, Kalingaraya.
We have no choice but to step back. What will we do with the King? Are we leaving him while
he's fighting for his life? What can we do?
Let's leave. Let's at least try to protect
our provinces. This huge army is not able to stop
him from invading our borders. Do you truly think you
can stop him alone? Let's destroy that weak army. That great man's goal
wasn't winning. It was to unite us. This war isn't just for his sake. It's for all of us. It's for our country which is born
out of the unity of all our states. If we run away now,
even our wives will laugh at us. Our posterities will
shame our graves. Our unity was dreamed by Satakarni. Our unity was dreamed by Satakarni. Even if he isn't here,
the dream must prevail. The King has brought us all
together through our losses. Let's unite now
and honour his dream. There's no time, soldiers. Win or..
- Martyrdom. Win or..
- Martyrdom. Martyrdom.. If all the states are united..
- ..there will be one strong state. Samara. Hail you universal monarch.. Hail you universal monarch.. Hail you universal monarch.. Hail you universal monarch.. Hail you universal monarch.. Hail you universal monarch.. Hail you universal monarch.. Like the stars that invade the sky we have to invade their army. We shouldn't follow only one rule. Whatever the path
our soldiers are taking it should be ambiguous
to their army. Our horses shouldn't
even listen to us. Even they shouldn't know
the path we're taking. Darkness should ascend even
in a broad day light. When the horses are
blindly moving around we need to attack the enemies
with an element of confusion. Athena. You lost the day you sent a woman
to poison me, Demetrius. But it benefited us to some extent. My dream prevailed
even in my absence. My dream shall live on after me. Go. Tell this as my message
to the world. This country is a family. We'll have many divisions
and differences between us. We'll fight with each other
for more. But if someone else comes to take
it from us, we'll kill them. We'll not start fight with anyone but we'll not leave anyone
if they messes with us. We'll build a cemetery
at the borders and hoist our flags
on your dead bodies. Hail King Satakarni..
Hail.. Hail King Satakarni..
Hail.. Hail the destroyer..
Hail.. Hail King Satakarni..
Hail.. There will be no more war
from now on. There will be no more invasions. No more.. No more.. It took 1500 years for foreigners
to enter into this land. No matter how many people
ruled us for as long as they could no one was able to uproot
the nationalism Satakarni planted. This is not just the story
of Gautamiputra's. This is a story of every
Telugu man and an Indian. A story of tolerance and revolt. The story of our great
grandfathers. Our story.
This is our past. This is our origin. Let's tell about our past
with pride and happiness. Hail Gautamiputra Satakarni.
Hail. "The immortal King who gained
glory enough for centuries" "The immortal King who gained
glory enough for centuries" "The boy born on the dawn,
the child of Gautami, Satakarni." "Hail.." "As a light in the pitch dark,

of your mother" "As the son of an inspirational
mother, take our love with you." "You were here as the virtue
of your mother." "As the son of an inspirational
mother, take our love with you." "You are a victor who can defeat
even the heavens." "Hail the King.." "You are the creator of dreams." "Hail the King.." "At a time of trouble" "you blazed like a fierce flame
and stabilised the situation." "Hail the King.." "Hail the King.." "The people of corrupt lords who
started serving greed called you." "Answer them.." "Defeat the ones who are trying
to establish dominance this land." "Defeat them." "Hail the King.." "Our great King,
step into the ring" "come immediately and save our
lives as alms, our hero." "Our great King,
step into the ring" "come immediately and save our
lives as alms, our hero." "Our great King,
step into the ring" "come immediately and save our
lives as alms, our hero." "Our great King,
