Forget your childhood.
A child is foolish!
Neither you nor I
are a child any longer.
Don't you know this minor
aspects of social life that..
..friendship between equals?
Kripacharya,
Kripacharya come!
Hello son of a sage.
Why did you come so
late in the night?
I have come with a
request from Kripi.
Please return home.
Not now Kripacharya.
Not now Kripacharya.
But why?
I had told Kripi while leaving
that I would get a cow for my son.
How can I go home without a cow?
By God's grave we
have many cows now.
But it is not the cow I wanted.
Didn't Dhrupad have a cow?
He had a cow as well as an insult.
He did not give me a
cow but insulted me.
- Insult?
- Yes.
I can still remember that day.
Dhrupad's looks were like..
..an arrow across the heart.
Forget your childhood.
Childhood is foolish.
Both you and I have
crossed our childhood.
Have you not yet realized a
small social truth that that..
..friendship is between equals?
Ask for anything without
talking of friendship.
I shall give it to you.
You are a Brahmin.
But forget your childhood.
Why did you not punish Dhrupad then?
Had he been an enemy
I would have done so.
He was a friend..
..and yet he spoke of equality.
He told me to ask for an offering..
..but not to talk
of being his friend.
Friendship, he said,
was between equals.
Had we been equals, I
would have punished him then.
But the time to punish him had come.
Now you go Kripacharya.
My pupils would be coming.
As you wish.
"The wound of insult.."
"..makes the soul restless."
"An apt revenge is.."
"..the only solution."
"The only solution."
Our respects Teacher!
Education is
incomplete without an offering.
We can get heaps of
gold and silver for you.
What will I do with gold and silver?
We are willing to offer our lives.
Only the soul-less
will ask for other lives.
Then what do you wish?
I wish that one of you wages war
against King Dhrupad..
..and bring him back as a prisoner.
I will go and kill him.
I did not ask you to kill him.
Forgive me Teacher!
A pupils should be cultured.
Going beyond the order
is like violating it.
Give me the order.
I wish to do something now.
Go!
I will bring back King
Dhrupad and throw him at your feet.
Allow me to go!
Go my child!
- Arjun, what's the matter?
- Yes.
Nothing teacher!
Are you angry?
Can a pupil be
angry with his teacher?
Why not my child?
The dearer the pupil the
greater is his right to be angry.
But why are you angry, Arjun?
Why didn't you send us?
Your education is over..
..but Duryodhan has
one more lesson to learn.
Which lesson?
The lesson of honor and arrogance.
Arrogance is the warrior's enemy.
God knows how long it will take..
..Duryodhan to learn this. How many years it'll take.
Attack!
Attack!
Return back.
I thought someone was to bring back
King Dhrupad before the teacher!
Do not make fun of your brother.
Someone has to lose in a battle.
I was unsuccessful.
Forgive me.
No, it is enough to have tried.
Failure is immaterial.
Your effort is your
offering and I have accepted it.
Any orders for us?
I am asking for the
same offering from you.
Bring back Dhrupad if you can.
As you wish!
Which flag will you fly.
It cannot be the flag of Hastinapur.
Why?
That flag cannot
be used in this war.
But Why?
Because you have not asked
Hastinapur for the offering.
So, we cannot fly
the flag of Hastinapur.
I had the right.
And you honored it
Bheem.
Forgive me.
I cannot keep quiet.
It is good you are not the eldest.
Yuddhistir is right.
Both of you do not have
the right to fly that flag.
He is also correct.
I did not ask Hastinapur.
So, why fly Hastinapur's flag.
You always side with them.
Whatever flag they fly..
..I could not win so
even they cannot win the war.
Duryodhan, you are not
time you are a Prince.
You know nothing about future.
You can't see future.
Nor can you predict who will win
or lose only the arena can decide.
Be Victorious!
Only Five!
Attack!
Beware! Dhrupad!
I capture you in the
name of Sage Drona.
Can I call you my friend today?
You are not equal to
even my disciples.
So how can we be equal?
I am still the same Brahmin.
And you are a friend.
You broke your
promise but I'll keep mine.
What is mine is also yours.
So, I return half your kingdom..
..and keep the other half.
We are now equals.
Today you are standing
before me so, I will punish you.
The cows you own.
will also be divided.
After this division, I shall take..
..one cow from your lt and then..
..go to Kripi and say here Kripi!
And I'll say..
..here Kripi I have brought a cow
from my friend Dhrupad.
My dear.
My Lord.
Son, may you live long!
I have brought a cow
from my friend Dhrupad.
I know it took time..
..but I have no control over time.
When the waiting
is over who remembers..
..how long the wait
was or how difficult!
It seems yesterday
that you went away.
Come now, give this cow's
milk to your crowned son.
Of course, Come son. Come.
Come, Please sit.
I will call brother Kripacharya.
I will call brother Kripacharya.
He too, was waiting.
Sure!
Sit, son.
Sit, son.
Sit.
Now, you are a King?
But that does not
mean you are a warrior.
You are a teacher's son,
so, you must study..
..and what you learn
you must distribute.
Worth is more
important than learning.
The river's water
cannot fit into a pot.
A drop does not swell the sea.
What are you thinking?
One question troubles me.
Can I ask it now?
Whom do you wish to ask?
Father or teacher?
Teacher.
Ask.
Why did you ask for Eklavya's thumb?
Because he wasn't a warrior?
Even you are not a warrior.
But I am a Brahmin.
Who came first? Man or caste?
No one can be a
Brahmin by birth alone.
A Brahmin will not be
one if he forgets his duty.
I did not ask for his thumb
because he was a low caste.
No caste has a right to learning.
Nor can we deny learning to anyone.
I asked for Eklavya's thumb
because he stole knowledge.
Therefore he did not
have a right on knowledge.
Had it been a Brahmin or a
warrior I would have done the same.
"Without an offering to the.."
"..teacher Knowledge
has no significance."
"What belongs to others others have.."
"..a right others have a right."
"A right others have a right."
Gandhari!
My Lord!
Why are you late?
Shakuni insisted that I go with him.
So I went with him.
It's alright to go with him.
But, in the process do not forget..
..the path of the mind.
My mind is a vacuum.
I do not wish to return there.
My heart is a forest of the trees.
The sun shines intensely..
..leaving you thirsty.
Not an oasis in sight.
Nothing to keep my hopes alive
I was hoping that Duryodhan..
..would prove to be
the best in the arrena..
..and the crown would
return to me through him.
But the darkness has..
..increased intensified.
Looks like there is
no sunrise in my fate.
If I were to meet my fate.
I would strangle it to death.
You are tired.
Rest a little.
I cannot say about the others..
..but I do not tire of dreaming.
What else can I do?
So, let me see what I can.
My lord, this does not
befit the elder Kaurav son.
Do not call me that.
It sounds like a joke.
Fate has done me
an injustice Gandhari.
Whom can I ask for justice?
Where?
Only God can give you justice.
You look so happy as if
you were waiting to leave.
It is sad parting from friends.
But I am not parting.
Then what else do you call parting?
The Chariot's waiting,
Balram is waiting.
That does not mean parting.
Do not make fun of me.
I cannot even think
of parting with you..
..and you are smiling
as if is just a game.
I will come to Mathura to meet you.
But after you
becomes a Yadu Prince..
..you may not recognize me.
Who told you that
friendship is only between equals?
This is the wealth of the heart and..
..everyone is equal
in the realm of the heart.
Never again speak of being poor.
Neither are you poor nor am I rich.
You are my Sudama, my friend..
..and I am Krishna, Your friend.
Sudama friendship
is higher than anything.
Krishna?
Sudama?
Krishna?
"There is love in friendship."
"Friendship is greater than life."
"The one who wins the
heart of a friend."
"Has won the world."
"Has won the world."
Sudama, don't come to Mathura.
Why?
I won't meet you in Mathura.
But I must meet you
because you are in debt.
Debt?
- Yes
- How come?
Remember the night when we
slept on the different trees and..
..you ate my share of food?
Remember?
Now I cannot let that debt go so..
..I must meet you.
My God! What a memory!
I had forgotten that!
Naturally! You
forgot because you owe me.
I have to get back the debt,
how can I forget?
Kanha! Come. Let's go!
The chariot's waiting.
Brother,
we'll go, What's the hurry? Wait!
But why? Give me one reason.
We will never see this place again.
This place is purity in itself.
Such purity is now lost for ever.
You, too, breathe in this pure air.
Besides, I am waiting for someone.
For whom?
Greeting Teacher!
- Sudama
- Yes Sir?
Ask mother to prepare
food for Sage Parshuram.
Yes sir.
You have blessed me, Sage.
Why do you need my blessings?
But now that you have
asked I must give something.
Meeting you is a blessing itself.
Enough of games, Krishna.
I am here because you called me.
I await your order.
What order can I give?
Call it an order or a blessing.
I would have left
this world long ago..
..but the warriors are
getting out of hand again.
Here take your weapon..
..and look after your era.
Being a warrior does not mean
you have total right over society.
You have eaten enough butter
played the flute and romanced.
Now do the work for
which you were born.
Go to Mathura which has
been attacked by Jarasandh.
You killed Kansa but
Mathura is suffering.
As you wish!
"Do your duty unto others."
"This is the call of time."
"Ponder over why you have
taken birth in this world."
"Try finding out the reason."
