'The story so far.. On the first day of 'Navratri'
'Rama's mother has a terrible dream.'
'Rama explains the importance of 'Bommala Koluvu' festival'
'to Gundappa, but his mother'
'stops him from stepping out of the house'
'and tells him about her dream.'
'The story continues.'
My Lord, you have been looking at these for longer
than the time I took to make this.
So, tell us. Whose arrangement is the best?
Yes, My Lord. Tell us.
In court, you make decisions in moments.
Actually, they both are so beautiful
that it is a difficult decision.
My Lord!
I have made this one, myself. Guess who this is.
This..
This is without a doubt, a doll.
You're right. But whose doll is it?
Well, the creator is the one
who owns it, so these must be yours.
My Lord, please tell Lady Tirumalamba
whose resemblance this is.
Yes! - Resemblance!
Oh, yes. Well, I believe this is
a demon, and this is a witch!
My Lord, I made dolls resembling you and myself
with so much love!
These are supposed to look like us?
Splendid!
They are perfect!
I was just joking.
Look how glorious I look. Marvellous!
And what about me? - You look exactly
like a Goddess.
That is what my mother always said.
That I am the best at the art of making dolls.
Is that so? - Yes.
Well, she was right.
My Lord, this is the first day of celebrating 'Navratri'.
So that you are more glorious, all over the world
and that your name becomes immortal
I have decided to fast for nine days.
My Queen, you care so much about me.
Your love and
admiration towards me is nonpareil.
I am fortunate to have you as my queen.
I'm the fortunate one to do anything for you.
I too want to be fortunate! I love you as well.
So, I will fast too. - What!
You will fast? No.. I mean..
I am aware of your love for me.
You don't have to prove it. You don't have to..
My Lord! Why are you stopping her? Let her fast.
She has to fast only for nine days.
Nine days?
Nine days! Don't do it.
No, you should do it, but keep in mind
that you don't go on the roof of the palace.
Why? - My aunt once did that while fasting.
And she fainted, fell off the roof
and passed away!
Where did she pass from? - She died!
Died?- The chances are high. You shouldn't do it.
No.. You may fast, but don't sleep on one side.
Keep turning a little,
while you sleep. - W-Why?
If you don't move in sleep, you will get a sprain
as you are supposed to sleep on the floor.
Floor? - For nine days.
And you can eat only one fruit all day.
Only.. - One kind of fruit.
But you may consume as much water as you want.
Lady Tirumalamba
you will fast, right?
Tell me.
Tell me, you will fast, right?
You will, won't you?
I won't. Why should I?
Not even my shadow would fast!
None of my ancestors ever fasted.
So, what about the resolution?
I never made a resolution.
But I have! - Then you should fast.
You always take some sort of resolution
that involves me getting into trouble.
Why are you joking? It is a resolution.
You just have to fast for nine days.
Nine days? - Yes.
Is that not enough? How about nine months?
That would really make her happy.
Yes! - No..
Nine.. Nine days are fine.
Look how quickly he agreed!
He loves you immensely.
I will deal with you later.
So, tell me. - Yes? - Is this fast, difficult?
Not at all. In these nine days
the consumption of ghee, oil, vegetables, 'Puri'
sweets and desserts, is forbidden.
So what will I eat? - You are God!
It is you who controls this world.
You are right. - So, you can survive on air.
Yes! But if I would get something more with air
it would be great. - Begin the fast
and I will bring fruits for you, and feed you.
No, My Lady, you need not do that.
As I said, he loves you immensely.
He can fast even without eating any fruits.
Am I right? - Yes, even without water!
Did you hear that? He will not consume water either.
No.. - Is that true?
Hey! Stop! Where are you going?
I was just.. I..
Come here. - Go ahead. - Yes?
I'm doomed!
Do it! - Do what? - Make her stand up.
She won't, no matter how much I try.
She says, she will sit here all day.
She won't go anywhere.
She doesn't trust you. You might run away.
I will have to run! I'm getting late.
If I don't reach the palace on time
Tathacharya will throw me out of the court.
'Whether you are thrown out of the court, this house'
'or this region, you must not go anywhere.'
Even if this is the apocalypse, she will not move.
Gundappa.
Rama! These laddus are delicious.
Really? What are you saying?
He said, the laddus are so delicious
sweet,
and made
in pure ghee!
The rate that he's eating at, it seems he'll finish it all
in just a few moments. - Yes!
Mother, you got up!
You said that you'd never get up.
'I wouldn't have gotten up.'
'Actually, it's for the laddus.'
'That is why I had to get up.'
'But you must not leave!'
'Do it!' - Do what? - Promise her
else, she will not move from here.
Gosh..
Mother, I promise that if I leave this house
then I will jump into the
cold waters of the river, ten times.
All right?
Mother-in-law, he has made a promise.
Now enjoy your laddus or he'll finish them.
Yes, go ahead.
Sharda, I must reach the court soon.
But you just took a promise.
I give it back. When I return, I'll promise again.
All right? I must leave now.
Dhani, Mani.. - Yes?
I'm feeling light-headed.
But you are so heavy.
You idiot! I'm feeling dizzy.
I'm hungry. Give me something to eat.
It seems, I will faint. I need to eat something.
Pandit Ramakrishna is not present.
I'll take Rama to task. Why would he come?
Why? Pandit Ramakrishna has forgotten his duties.
He goes by his own will now.
Look, even while he's about to faint
he would not stop criticising Rama.
You're right.
Long live the King! - Please come!
Welcome! Welcome!
Please give us one of
your foolish reasons for being late.
I'm sorry for being late, My Lord.
Give us the reason for this.
Our guru is getting anxious.
And do not make him wait any further.
Actually, My Lord, since it is the first day of 'Navratri'
many food items were being prepared at home for offering
and hence I got late. - Food?
Yes, Acharya! Laddu
'Sheera', 'Kheer', 'Puri'!
Stop it, I'm starving! - Since so many items were made
I couldn't have left without eating them.
So, it took me a while to eat it all.
Oh! - Actually, he is emotional
seeing your devotion.
Pandit Ramakrishna, take your seat.
Prince Achyuta.
Brother, I'm so pleased to see you.
I have been waiting for this moment for so long.
Me too. The way you have fulfilled your duties
in Machilipatnam, makes me extremely proud.
You have arrived on the occasion of 'Navratri'.
I am very pleased.
I did miss your presence.
Greetings. - Welcome, Brother-in-law.
I have brought a few presents for you.
Please accept them.
Thank you, Brother-in-law.
Thank you. Please be seated.
Thank you.
Prince, did you bring presents only for them?
That is not true. I did bring something for you.
What is it?
My Lord! Greetings.
Brother, he is Mr. Bhishan, from Bengal.
He is the expert in Bengal of weaponry and armoury.
He has invented the best of weapons.
Hence, I have brought him to you
to make your army, stronger.
I would like to hear about him, from him.
Do take your time. - No, Brother..
You are from Bengal? - Yes.
You are an expert of armoury and weaponry? - Yes.
Why did you choose to do this?
That is a long story, My Lord.
I was very little, when I lived in a small village.
But My Lord, you don't have it.
You don't have the knowledge that I was born
in a Bengali family. Splendid!
It was very good. Very pleasing!
My Lord, I have loved to play with catapults
since I was little.
I could hit two things with one stone.
I would even break pots, that is when I figured
that I can be an expert of armoury and weaponry.
But..
I didn't have the money. My father was a money lender..
My Lord, the King's question was..
How did you end up being an expert in weaponry?
What is this? You're interrupting while I speak.
I lost track! I was answering the question.
My Lord, I'll tell you how I got into this field of work.
In this field, no one from my family is involved.
They deal in fabric. In Bengal
my uncle has a great store of fabrics.
Splendid! But..
Last year, my uncle left.
I mean, he passed away. - That is not possible.
What! How is it not possible?
What has Lord Krishna quoted in 'Gita'?
'The soul is immortal. The body is perishable.'
My friend, the one who is born, must die.
My uncle was born, so how can he not die?
My Lord, you did not understand me.
I meant, you are our guest.
Is it not possible to be your guest? My Lord!
No.. I didn't mean that. I meant
it is not possible for you to just stand in the court.
You should take a seat. Am I right, My Lord?
You are right. My Lord.
Yes, you may be seated.
Thank you. Oh, no!
What happened? - I cannot sit.
I cannot sit. - Why not?
Not because the seats here would be uncomfortable..
Before I sit, I'd like to present to you some delicacies
that I brought from Bengal.
What is it?
I'll tell you. Don't scare me.
I have brought sweets. My Lord
with your permission, may I present it?
Go ahead.
My Lord..
My Lord!
Look at this. My Lord, please try one.
You cannot eat. You are fasting.
I will not eat much, just a dozen of it.
For nine days, you cannot eat anything.
Please offer this to Acharya Tathacharya first.
Here you go, Acharya. - Apologies
but he cannot eat this. - Why not?
Why can't he? These are very soft
and you don't need teeth to eat it.
But I have teeth.
You are also fasting. - A guest is like God.
And you must treat him like one.
You can't refuse what he offers.
Give it to me. - Sure.
Let me feed you.
But My Lord, what is the name of this dessert?
Acharya, do you know the meaning
of 'digging your own grave'?
I am aware! I am the greatest priest.
Yes, you certainly are. Now you may see
an example of that happening right now.
Look!
I'm highly influenced by you.
It is crucial to know about something
before you consume it.
But the more crucial thing than knowing the name
is to eat it. Feed it.
I will, first let me tell you,
this is 'Rasgulla'.
'Rasgulla'. - Yes!
And this has sugar syrup in it.
Look at that.
You dropped the syrup. - Yes, I did.
But this is what you have to eat. - Acharya
why did you have to open your mouth at the wrong time?
Give me that. - No, let me tell you about this first.
And then, it is curdled. - What is?
Milk is curdled. That's what makes it so soft.
Take a look!
Soft!
He didn't break the 'Rasgulla', but his dreams.
What do I eat now? - Don't worry at all.
All of this is for you.
And for you too, My Lord.
Get up.. - 'Rasgulla'.
Get up..
Careful.
All of it is gone!
What do I eat now?
Don't worry at all. I have many more!
Where? - Back in Bengal.
I'll bring them the next time I visit this palace.
What happened?
My Lord..
Lord Bhishan.. - Yes, My Lord.
You are welcome to our palace
and you must stay here and leave only after
seeing the play 'Ramleela' here.
'Ramleela'? - Yes.
I announce that the play will be organised
like every year.
This year, it must be more grand and royal.
The invitations have been sent to
the most influential people of this region.
Many guests from neighbouring regions will be coming.
And this year, I have invited the best group of artists
in the country, to enact it.
So, this year it will be as good as it can be.
'You are right, Brother.'
'This year, the 'Ramleela' will be unforgettable.'
