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.'
'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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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"
"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?
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."
"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."
"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 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."
"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.
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.
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?
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 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..
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.
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.
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.
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..
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.
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.
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.
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?
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 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
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..
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.
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 are those eyes filled with worry?"
"Why are you terrified, oh, the one with beautiful eyes?"
"In this intimate moment"
"when we are celebrating our love."
"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"
"your love brought me the heaven to this earth."
"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."
"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.
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 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..
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.
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!
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?
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.
That will be my war.
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.
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."
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.
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.
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."
"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.
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.
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.'
'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 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?
"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.."
"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."
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.
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.
Martyrdom..
If all the states are united.. - ..there will be one strong state.
Samara.
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 the destroyer.. Hail..
Hail King Satakarni.. Hail..
There will be no more war from now on.
There will be no more invasions.
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 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."
"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.."
"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, step into the ring"
"come immediately and save our lives as alms, our hero."
"Our hero."
