India!
A Golden bird.
However, many external invasions shattered the soul of that bird..
Remember Tanhaji!
The warrior who makes his own sword..
..he trusts the sword more than anything.
Look Tanhya..
If you wield a sword, wield it like lighting.
If you want to travel then ride the storm.
If you want to challenge then challenge as high as the sun.
What will you do now, Tanhya?
Even your shield has a sharp edge to it Tanhya.
Blood was flowing like water.
Courage was shattered.
What is this sound, Father?
- It is time to go to war, Tanhya! - Nevertheless, there were few fighters for freedom..
..Who were sharpening their courage.
I will come with you.
No Tanhya..
Take care of your mother and Surya.
Eyes filled with despair,
- Every breath was bursting of fear. - Glory to Mahadev!
As if, people were offenders on their own land.
If you don't pay tax, give up your religion,
If not your religion..
..then you will have to sacrifice your life.
Glory to Mahadev!
War requires bravery..not weapons..
An army is not needed, courage is.
One who is not afraid of losing..
..victory is not far away from him..
Father.
You are my pillar of strength Tanhaji.
People leave behind many possessions.
I am leaving you behind with a debt.
'The Freedom of our Motherland.'
Glory to..Mahadev!
Father!
An empire of darkness spread in every direction.
Despair had crossed all limits.
And at that time,
A ray of hope was born over the western hills of India.
His name was Shivaji Shahaji Bhosle.
Now Shivaji was the strength of his people.
And his strength were his companions..his chiefs..
Baji Prabhu Deshpande,
Yesaji Kank,
Dadasaheb Narasprabhu,
Noor Khan Beig,
And his most favourite among them,
His right hand man.
Born in Konkan's red soil, From umrath.
Brave Maratha..
Tanhaji Malusare.
'Religion created the faith.'
'Training inculcated bravery.'
The Marathas began to slash away at the Mughal empire..
..with their sharp edged swords.
Soon Swaraj started blooming with the victory of 40 forts.
Delhi could not bear this victory of the Marathas.
The saffron (Maratha flag) caught Alamgir's eyes.
Mirza Raje Jai Singh is here!
Glory to the Mughal Empire!
Mirza Raje!
If a rat is destroying the Mughal flag in front of your eyes..
..then what will you do?
Kill him, Aalijaah.
Then shrewd Alamgir executed his most vicious plan.
Pitting a Hindu against another Hindu.
Mirza Raje Jai Singh.
As if a reliable elephant riding on another elephant.
With an army of 80,000 soldiers..
..Mirza Raje reached Deccan.
On one end, there was the storm of Mughals..
..and on the other end were only a handful of Marathas.
For the first time, Swaraj seemed in trouble.
Mirza Raje surrounded the forts of the Marathas as soon as he arrived.
Torna, Purandar, Tikona and Kondhana.
And at that time, atop Kondhana was situated, the mother of Swaraj.
Jijau..
..AKA Aau Saheb.
O Goddess Bhawani..
Mother of this world..
Destroyer of sorrows..
Goddess of power..
Now you will only tell..
..whether Swaraj will prevail,
or perish by the hands of these monsters?
The future of Swaraj was uncertain.
There were more swords made than soldiers.
Neither the Mughals nor Marathas backed down.
His cannons can never reach Kondhana.
Till when?
No matter how strong the fort is...
it is vulnerable without reserves.
When the enemy can't be defeated,
And defeat is unacceptable...
then there is only one option.
Settlement.
Send a letter to Mirza Raje.
Tell him, I will come personally.
'Setting foot in the Mughal Camp was like inviting death.'
But where did the warriors of Swaraj care for their life?
Brother.
There is a bad news, brother.
23 forts of Swaraj are now under Aurangzeb's reign..
..including Kondhana.
Not only did the Marathas lose Kondhana in Purandar treaty..
And, Shivaji Raje has been arrested in Agra.
Swaraj had lost its power and pride.
Kondhana was Swaraj's pride..
..and their eyes in the South.
Capturing Kondhana meant taking over the entire Southern India.
Where are your manners?
We have not handed this fort over to you yet.
Hand it over now then.
An opportunity to spoil the mood is very rare.
And, we Mughals are opportunity seekers.
Your Shivaji Raje has handed over 23 Forts to our Emperor.
Which includes Kondhana as well.
Once Aau Saheb (mother) finishes her prayer..
..then Kodhana will be handed over to you.
Right now, Beshaq Khan can grant only one permission to your Aau Saheba.
To leave this fort alive.
Beshaq Khan!
Don't forget that you are speaking with Shivaji Raje's mother.
A single incorrect word now and there will be bloodshed.
Wait, Pratap Rao.
We shall respect the treaty.
Aau Saheba is sensible..
..and helpless too.
Take off all the saffron flags.
Now the Mughal empire's flag will wave at every bastion of the fort.
- Long live.. - Mogul Empire..
- Long live.. - The Emperor..
- Long live.. - Mogul Empire..
- Long live.. - The Emperor..
Congratulation!
However, I am happy to see that the colour of the treaty is saffron.
Keep it safe.
Aau Saheba, wear your shoes.
The heat is strong and your feet are fragile.
Along with your emotions, your feet will also be scorched.
No Beshaq Khan..
Until the saffron (Maratha flag) is waving over Kondhana again..
..I shall remain barefoot.
Along with the fort, consider these shoes as a gift for Mughals.
I shall wait for your call, Goddess Bhawani..
Four years passed.
Even today the Mughal flag waving over Kondhana..
..kept reminding Jijau of her humiliation.
Shivaji Raje (King Shivaji) managed to deceive..
..the Mughals and returned to Rajgad.
And at that time, a spy brought news.
Accept the salutation, Raje.
From Tarkib Khan to Trimbak Rao.
You took a huge risk, Trimbak.
The news is such, Raje.
The way Delhi is the capital of north.
Similarly, Alamgir wants Kondhana to be the capital of the South.
And for this purpose, he is sending an army of 2000 soldiers..
..along with Udaybhan Rathore as the new commander-in-chief of fort.
Udaybhan?
Name does not sound like a Mughal.
Age 35 years.
He is dangerous..
Above all, he has gained Alamgir's trust.
But Alamgir doesn't even trust his own reflection.
That's true, Raje.
A few month ago, Shah Pehalvi of Iran..
..came to Agra as Alamgir's guest.
Alamgir and Shah Pehalvi were playing Human chess.
Here we go, Emperor Alamgir!
This is my horse's move.
You forgot my pawn, Shah Pahalvi.
Make your move.
This is the move of my pawn.
My elephant will crush your pawn.
Delighted with Udaybhan's ferocious bravery..
..the emperor made him one of his royal bodyguards.
And one night..
Your highness.
Present Udaybhan in the royal court.
As you wish, your highness.
Why did you stop?
I intend to rule over all of India.
I desire to capture the entire southern region.
And I wish to see you emerge victorious by leading this mission.
The way Delhi is the capital of northern India.
Similarly.. Kondhana will be the capital of southern India.
I am extremely happy with your bravery and Loyalty.
That is why I am appointing you as a commander-in-chief of Kondhana.
And from that day onwards, a pawn became the commander-in-chief.
He is a human..
..not a devil.
But no less than a devil.
Now, that devil has a Nagin(Serpent) and the reed pipe to control it.
Our concern is not only about him being more powerful than we are..
..or he has an army of 2000 soldiers.
The matter of concern is..
..Aurangzeb has sent a massive cannon with Udaybhan.
The creator has named it as Nagin. (Serpent).
Its range is up to dozens of miles.
A single blow can destroy a whole settlement.
The attack is so powerful..
..that It can shake the walls of all the forts in Deccan.
If the canon succeeds in reaching Kondhana Fort..
Then swaraj in India may forever be a dream, Raje (King).
You are speaking the language of defeat, Pisal.
And naked reality too.
Somebody should learn how to lose without fighting from you.
It is not so easy to conquer Kondhana, Gujar.
I myself will accomplish this mission.
No, Raje.
Even if a million people die, it is okay..
..but the guardian of million others should be safe.
There is one more warrior..
..who can accomplish this mission.
Subhedar (Commander) Tanhaji Malusare.
Surely, he is the most trusted ally..
..but I cannot ask for his support this time.
Why not, Raje?
Because when someone's preparing for his son's wedding..
..I cannot invite him for this suicidal mission.
After so many years, for the first time..
..he has an occasion to celebrate.
"The Bonfire is burning"
"An enemy turns into ashes"
"Whenever we wield our swords"
"O Goddess Bhawani!"
"Thousand storms rage"
"An enemy is destroyed from his roots"
"Whenever we are determined"
"O Goddess Bhawani!"
"We all are brave and proud warriors"
"Now every day is a festival of Swaraj"
"Now this head will not bow"
"We shall keep your esteem"
"We take the oath of your name, Maa Jagdambe (Mother Goddess)"
"O Goddess Bhawani!"
"The smoke was intense"
"The darkness was dense"
"You filled that with light of hope"
"You blessed us with devotion"
"You blessed us with power"
"You filled our life with joy"
"Those who were yearning for years"
"Have smile on their faces"
"Ambe Mata (Mother Goddess), by your blessings"
"Happiness has filled my home"
"We are as solid as arock"
"We can flow against the stream"
"Whenever we are determined"
"O Goddess Bhawani!"
"We all are brave and proud warriors"
"Now every day is a festival of Swaraj"
"Now this head will not bow"
"We shall keep your esteem"
"We take the oath of your name, Maa Jagdambe (Mother Goddess)"
"O Goddess Bhawani!"
Missing your Father?
Whenever I touch his sword..
..I turn into Tanhya from Tanhaji.
He always used to say..
I will perform your wedding in a grand way Tanhya.
However death defeated us.
A warrior that sheds his enemy's blood can also shed tears.
No one will ever believe it.
I win every battle, Savitri.
But I always..
..lose this one.
I won't let you lose.
We will have a grand wedding for Raiba.
The marriage procession will be so grand, that people will watch in awe.
And wherever father is, he will be happy.
What is this?
When Goddess Parvati sits on her husband, Lord Shankar's lap..
..then that is right.
And if I sit on my husband's lap, then that is wrong.
Whole Umrath says, 'We look very good together.'
That's true.
But whenever we have seen ourselves, it is simply in each other's eyes.
I want to see us together.
We can't even see us together in this tiny mirror.
Look.. She is here.
There's more coming..
The mystery has come.
She has been with him for several day..
But I'm unable to understand her relationship with our chief.
Didn't I tell you..
A woman can influence even a fiend.
Our chief is just a human being.
The chief is looking this way.
Come.
How are you, my destruction?
You will be destroyed.
You abducted a widow from her husband's funeral pyre.
In which hell will you pay for this sin?
People turn red with anger.
But you turned pink, Kamal.
Just like a Lotus.
Fear the god, Udaybhan.
That very god of yours has made me fall in love with you.
And now this desire runs through my veins.
This desire..
..will be buried with a shroud.
If you are stubborn..
..then so am I.
If I don't change your no into a yes.
Then even my name is not Udaybhan.
- Ae Shankarya! - Yes!
Until we return after inviting Shivaji Raje..
..till then your eyes and sword should be on alert.
Umrath's safety is my responsibility now.
- Ae Surya! - Yes.
The sun is upon us..
..and Tanhya's talks are not getting over.
What made you laugh?
Laughing without reason.
People praise Shivaji Raje a lot.
Honestly, today you look even better than Shivba.
There is no comparison between Tanhya and Shivba.
Shivba's thought of Swaraj has changed the entire nation.
He changed history.
I'm sure that one day, you too will change history.
People write inspirational poetries about him.
They will write about you too.
Who will write?
I will.
Sister-in-law..brother..hurry up.
Even the horses are tired waiting for the riders.
Give me the invitation cards.
Here he comes..groom is here..
Start the music!
Subhedar! Shivaji Raje must come to Umrath for Raiba's wedding.
And yes! If Raje is not coming then you shouldn't come either.
Understand?
Aunty, whether I come or not, but he will definitely come.
Update me as soon as the southern wind starts blowing.
Yes. Sir.
Accept the salutation, Raje.
Udaybhan has reached the doors of Southern region.
Oh my God! What a big village!
Not a village, Raiba.
Rajgad!
The capital of Marathas.
Can I ask you a question?
We travelled so far to deliver the invitation..
..What If Shivaji Raje doesn't come?
We'll be humiliated.
Everyone in the village will laugh on us.
Raiba, You should ask Shivaji Raje..
..Whether he'll attend your wedding or not.
Greetings, Subhedar!
You have been here after a long time.
Yes. I am here to invite for my son's wedding.
On the day of Ashtami (the eighth day of the lunar fortnight)
No invitation for me?
Of course.
First invitation is for the King, and then his people.
See you.
We cannot attack Kondhana.
Why not, Raje?
Udaybhan has reached close.
If he gets the news of our attack then he will speed up his movement.
On one side, Beshaq Khan with his army..
..and on the other side, Udaybhan.
It is like sticking our feet in the crocodile's jaw.
So what do we do now, Raje?
There is only one way.
Beshaq Khan will not come down from the fort.
We will have to stop Udaybhan.
Subhedar Tanhaji Malusare is here.
He must be here to give the invitation.
Remember..
Tanhya should not know about the mission.
As swaraj is growing..
..you are also growing along, Tanhaji.
Imagine.. what will happen when all of India will be ours.
Shelar Uncle.
Suryaji..
Raje..
Oh my God, You have come to the door Maa Saheb.
My Son came here, along with my grandson to invite us..
..then how can a mother's happiness wait, Hmm?
Shivba, you were saying that a lion has arrived from the jungle.
But I feel that your childhood has returned from the past.
Oh! Let me complete the work I came for.
Do come for the wedding along with your entire family.
How are the wedding preparations coming along, Tanhya?
Very well.
Actually, mother has invited a few brahmins (priests)..
..all the way from Kashi for prayer recitation.
We were expecting them and you arrived instead.
Shivgiri maharaj?
Some of his disciples.
They are coming here for the first time.
Great..Getting ready for battle, Raje?
Not at all.
Remember Raje..
After taking the pledge of Swaraj at Raireshwar..
..when we decided to win the fort,
Then you said..
..one who pierces the branch of the tree with his spear, shall lead the mission.
Till date, I am the first to take charge of every battle for Swaraj.
Bravo!
Bravo, Subhedar Tanhaji.
Excellent!
Accept the salutation, Raje.
Breaking a branch of a tree and breaking your enemy's skull..
..are two very different things.
Yes! Correct!
Just like being courageous and claiming to be courageous are two separate things.
I do not just claim to be courageous.
When the time comes, I always show courage.
Then let's have a duel.
With Raje's permission.
Lacking in practice, Pisal.
You did not tell me Raje, where is the mission?
Eh Chultya, Will you stop honing that thing?
I am telling you..
..go and reveal everything to Tanhaji.
Tell him that Raje is hiding something from you.
If the trust is broken, only then will the rift be created between Raje and Tanhaji.
And what if it helps in making their bond stronger?
Then Tanhaji will surely proceed to win Kondhana..
..but he'll never return.
And What if Raje came to know that we told Tanhaji?
Then you can tell Raje..
..that no one else can win Kondhana except Tanhaji.
And you will be out of risk for this battle.
Raje, I am concerned about you and Swaraj.
He will appreciate you.
It seems your mother must have fed the fox when she was pregnant with you.
Bravo, Chultya, Bravo.
Hello, Subhedarji.
It is your shop, master. Choose any one.
I need something big enough..
..to see two faces together.
Then you should take this, Subhedarji.
Pisal, what brings you here?
I've been looking for you, Subhedar.
Oh God..
What does it mean by you were looking for me?
It is a personal matter.
Tie it and give.
Forgive me guru.
I could not welcome you.
Your mother informed.
Preparing for a mission.
Yes. That's the predicament.
What predicament?
Now you make Aau saheb understand..
She's not allowing me to lead the mission.
What is this guru?
I attacked you, and you defended with your right hand.
Instead of facing it head-on.
Whenever there's a crisis, it's not always wise to face it head-on.
Put your right hand forward.
Right now, I can't express this to my right hand guru.
Why not?
Because his son is going to get married.
Is his son's wedding more important than Swaraj?
Is the wedding more important than the Saffron (Maratha flag) of Marathas?
Is the wedding so important that it compels a king to lie to his soldier..
..and a friend to another friend?
Is the wedding far more important..
..than the oath taken in Raireshwar ..with Shankar as our witness..
..about living and dying together, sharing happiness and pain together..
..the Maratha flag will soar high as long as we live.
If we die we go wrapped in the saffron flag..
..had to be broken.
Tanhya!
Swaraj is far more important than any comfort or happiness.
Accept my salutations, your highness.
Your tears are very precious for your best friend.
Remember.
Whenever you shed tears, Tanhaji's blood will be shedding.
Now Tanhaji will lead the mission of Kondhana.
No, Tanhya.
Please make your son understand, Aau Saheb.
How can I explain?
You are my son as well.
Your one son has created Swaraj for you.
Give the other one an opportunity to cover your bare feet.
May god bless you!
Jagdamb..(Mother Goddess)
Now wave the Saffron flag..
..and let it be declared.
First, the conquest over Kondhana..
..and then my Raiba's wedding.
We have only two options.
Attack..
..or wait for him to get here.
Raje, you always say..
Waiting is the sign of weakness.
Attack..
The First strike is worth a million attacks.
We have four routes to reach Pune from Burhanpur, Lord.
The first is Chargaon, Raje.
Open fields..
Udaybhan won't take the risk.
The second one is Akola route,
Passing through Aurangabad, en route to Pune.
Rural area.
He will not pass through the settlement.
The third route is through Khandesh to Pune.
The longest route.
Not possible.
And the fourth route, Lord.
This one..
..because it is the shortest route..
..Which passes through the hills..
..and easier to camouflage.
So what route shall we take, Lord?
We will travel through Shirdhon.
Shirdhon!
Shirdhon, Raje, Shirdhon.
Udaybhan will take the Shirdhon route.
If I don't turn Shirdhon into Udaybhan's grave..
..then I am not a real Maratha.
Chultya! I am giving you an important task.
Yes. Master.
It is a delicate task and your life could be at risk.
You must reach to Udaybhan before Tanhaji reaches Shirdhon.
Me?
Tell him that I am his ally.
Once I acquire Shivaji's position..
..then I shall be of his service.
Yes. Master.
Glory to..Mahadev!
Hey Salim..
Buddy..
Hey, friend, What happened?
We've been camping here since three days.
And we are not moving forward,
And the chief won't take his eyes off of that lady.
Don't start complaining again.
Who is this lady?
You don't understand one thing.
Somebody has rightly said..
"First love is very fatal."
Yes. That's true.
Even fire seems like a toy.
My Lord!
Some Maratha has come to see you.
Udaybhanji..
Who are you?
Mmm.. I am Chultya.
Chu what?
Yes..Yes..Yes..Chultya, Chultya.
This is for you.
Jagat Singh.
Salutation from Chandraji Pisal.
I have news for you.
Maratha chieftain Tanhaji Malusare is hiding in the mountains of Shirdon.
Beware of the attack.
A friend..Chandraji Pisal.
What is the purpose of sharing this news with me?
Friendship, my Lord. Friendship.
Chandraji Pisal wants to be in the good books of Alamgir.
After all, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, right my Lord?
Who is the enemy?
Of course, Tanhaji Malasure.
And friend?
My Lord.. You.. Udaybhan Rathore.
Chuu ji.
That is my informer.
If your information matches with his..
..then you are my friend.
And if it doesn't..
Then there will be one less Chuu..
..in this world.
Lord ..Some Maratha, Tanhaji is keeping a watch..
..from the mountains of Shirdhon with his soldiers.
I told you.
Jagat Singh, Take good care of my friend.
Ae..look.. there is a void..
Ae..Ae.. do it quickly.. come on..
My child, handle it gently..
You will make my tomb here.
This is gunpowder..Explosives.
Yes Uncle.
He will not pass through our territory during the day with his massive army.
He will travel at night.
Where is this river going, Khaibar Khan?
Sir, People says that it is going towards south.
Can you see that coconut tree?
Yes.
Cut it down.
Yes Sir.
The army is getting restless to march ahead.
From today onwards, we will travel only in the night, Khaiber Khan.
Bur Sir..
Which route shall we take now?
Via Shirdhon.
Look.
Subhedar! (Commander!)
The cannon is approaching..
..but the army seems to be very low in number.
Subhedarji (Commander), you have been betrayed.
We are all Marathas.
Stop it...
Bravo Udaybhanji.
Amazing..
One must learn how to deceive the enemy from you!
Wonder where that Tanhaji will be hiding his face.
Everyone stumbles with a stone.
But the one who rises is a true Maratha.
Pick up your sword.
Say Goddess Bhawani , Jai Shivaji.
Conquer.
Strike it ,Tanhya strike it.
Kondhana will be at your feet..
..and you will be the commander of Kondhana.
Brother, now we should go to Rajgad.
No Surya.
Send the army back.
You and uncle reach at Umrath along with Raiba.
And gather our soldiers.
And where are you going?
To endure the situation.
What shall I tell Shivba if he asks?
Tell him, Tanhya will show his face..
..only after Udaybhan's death..
..and our saffron flag is waving over Kondhana.
The Nagin has reached Kondhana
Now ready to sting Swaraj.
Turn the Cannon..
..and aim at Rajgad.
But sire, at least wait for Alamgir's orders.
Think about it, sire.
Now Shivaji is under my control.
There is news from Deccan.
Udaybhan and Nagin have reached Kondhana.
Now, no one can stop your dream of conquering all of India.
Kondhana is unbeatable.
Invulnerable..
Filled with rocky paths and steep deathly slopes.
The bushes are so deep..
..that even the wind screams while blowing through it.
The structure is so high, that it mocks the cannonballs.
You cannot conquer Kondhana just by staring at it.
That is why I came looking for you, Baba.
You've guarded the fort for many years.
No matter how strong the fort is..
..there is always a secret passage.
There is a secret passage, which comes down to the bottom of the fort.
But it must be covered by the branches now.
No one knows where it leads to, at the foothills.
It has been years, but no one has passed through that passage.
Listen.
There's a banyan tree in the prison's courtyard.
And there's a secret door behind it.
..But you won't be able to reach there.
I will reach Baba.
Why are you risking your life?
Baba, when Saffron (Maratha flag) runs through my veins..
..then who cares about life!!!
You are right..
I am blind..
..but even I want to see freedom.
Have some bread.
What are you thinking? There is a man who can help you.
Who?
The Maratha fort keeper of the Mughals..
Gheresarnaik!!
Gheresarnaik! Is he your man?
Yes, sire.
He made a mistake last night, sire.
Forgive him.
What happened?
Sire, he forgot to reply last night.
As always, we yelled from above, Stay awake..
And he had to reply "Stay alert".
But he didn't reply.
My lord, last night I was facing a wild boar at that moment.
If I had made a sound, it would've attacked.
Last night you faced a wild boar, is it?
Yes, my lord.
So now, you are facing a lion.
Say it...
Will you speak?
No..
Stay alert!
Sire..Sire.. please forgive him.
He'll never repeat this mistake again.
Stay awake... Say alert... Stay awake!
He'll never repeat this mistake again.
Stay awake!
Kashi!
He still didn't say stay alert.
There is no mercy for any mistake in Udaybhan's court.
Only punishments.
Even dogs are better than you Gheresarnaik.
At least they stay loyal to their master.
Satya...
Under any circumstances, no one can know what happened here.
Yes Naik.
Naik, we searched the entire forest.
But, could not trace Kashi.
I guess the wild animals..
Who's there?
First, try to recognize him.
Kashi is no more.
Oh God!
How could he be so stupid to go near the broken wall?
He slipped.
The burden of lie is too heavy.
Why don't you tell us the truth?
What truth?
Last night, while guarding the fort, Kashi forgot to say 'stay alert' once.
Who told you that?
A dying man can never lie.
Naik, is it true?
It's true.
But what option do we have other than staying quiet in front of Udaybhan?
The same thing that you've been doing till now...
Betrayal!
Stop betraying your own motherland.
Now betray your enemy.
Why should we?
For whom?
For Swaraj (Self-rule).
For future generations.
For Shivaji Raje.
Who handed over 23 forts in a treaty..
..without thinking what would happen to us.
Shivba had no choice.
This mission is to reconquer those forts again.
And the first one is this fort.. Kondhana.
Are you crazy? You want to conquer Kondhana?
He has come here with our death warrants.
Where are you living anyway?
You have no dignity.
Even during the daylight, your mothers and sisters are not safe.
Your animals are dragged away in your presence.
Brahmins can't pray, farmers can't cultivate..
In fact, you can't even chant Shri Ram's name during funeral rites.
And you call this a life.
How many more times are you going to die?
There Alamgir breaks the temple of Kashi Vishwanath..
..and here Udaybhan kills Kashi.
And we guard them.
Every night.
Stay Alert..
Stay awake..
Wake up Gheresarnaik!
You're lucky, Kashi.
And I was the fool..
..who came here to breathe life into a bunch of dead people.
Good-bye.
Beware!
Who are you?
From Umrath..
Name..
Subhedar Tanhaji Malusare.
Subhedar! (Commander)
Forgive us, Subhedar!
From now on, we will do whatever you say.
I want to see enemy before defeating him.
Consider it done.
Day after tomorrow, there is a religious fair of Kondaneshwar Mahadev on the fort..
"Shankara."
"Grab me if you identify."
"Light the fire of blood in my crafty-clever mind."
"My moustache has a spark."
"My stance is carefree."
"My dance is like a sword."
"And ember in my words."
"Brave warrior. Brave warrior... "
"I am a lion dressed in fox's skin."
"Who play gimmicks for the benefit of people."
"Grab me if you identify."
"Brave warrior. Brave warrior... "
"First conquest of Kondhana..
"Mavala of your Kondhana.."
"First conquest of Kondhana..
"Mavala of your Kondhana.."
"Open the gates of your heart."
"Your master has arrived."
"I bring war as I walk."
"With a lot of trickeries."
"Fences are elevated."
"I came here to jump over them."
"Grab me if you identify."
"Light the fire of blood in my crafty-clever mind."
"Brave warrior. Brave warrior... "
"The flame that glows is of my Bhawani (Mother Goddess)."
Why did you kill him?
In any corner of the world, the traitor has only one punishment.
Who are you?
Tanhaji.
Khaiber Khan!
Yes sire.
Will you bear the trouble of arresting him?
There's a banyan tree in the prison's courtyard.
And there's a secret passage behind it.
You must be regretting now.
If you had known about me before coming..
..then you would've never dared to come here.
You would be scared.
If someone stands in front of you and says that he's not afraid of you..
Then understand, he is either mad..
..or a Maratha.
Are you mad?
Every Maratha is mad..
For Swaraj (Self-rule)..
For Shivaji Raje..
For Saffron (Maratha flag)..
I will eliminate the existence of the saffron (Maratha flag)..
..from the face of this earth.
Who are you to eliminate the Saffron..
..that befalls upon us from the skies.
Twice a day.
Before the sun rises..
..and after the sun sets.
You're emotionally connected to your soil..
..whereas my wisdom has no emotions.
You can sacrifice your life..
.. and I can take lives.
Right now.
I can bury you into this soil.
I'll be fortunate to sacrifice my life for my motherland.
You should think about yourself.
If this soil refuses to accept you..
..then what will happen to your corpse? (dead body)
Wait Udaybhan!
He's the bait for the rat that you want to finish.
If Tanhaji is here, then Shivaji will surely come here.
My sword's out of its scabbard, Jagat Singh.
It won't return without tasting blood.
What you will do tomorrow, do it now.
If you remain engrossed in thinking..
..when will you kill the enemy?
You were right.
Every traitor has only one punishment.
Death.
Now both of us will wait..
You, for death.
Me, for Shivaji.
Eat it.
It will give you strength to bear the pain.
I need your help.
For the sake of my sister.
For the sake of Kamal.
We lived in a small village in the desert.
Called Retipur.
Udaybhan was the son of our minister.
All the children from the royal family used to play together.
One day, the prince of Tidwana sent a marriage proposal to Kamal.
Udaybhan grew restless.
I love you a lot.
Are you joking?
My love is not a joke.
We cannot be together.
But why?
Marriage is the union of two equal people, Udaybhan.
So what's lacking in me?
I don't deserve you just because you're a princess..
..and I am just a...
I wish that were the only case.
Then?
It's about lineage.
You might be the son of a minister.
..but your mother...
After that he left Rajputana,
No one knew where he went.
Kamal got married to the prince of Dhuliket.
One day, Udaybhan was seen with the Mughals.
They attacked Dhuliket.
The Mughals assassinated Kamal's husband.
And Udaybhan abducted my widowed sister.
And you joined him to protect your sister.
Tanhaji Malusare gives you his word..
Our goals may be different..
..but we have a common enemy.
From today onwards, this Rajput shall never raise his sword on a Maratha again.
On the night of Ashtami (the eighth day of the lunar fortnight)
You will have to keep Udaybhan occupied.
- Jai Bhavani! - Jai Bhavani!
The prisoner's cuffs have come loose. Hurry up and tighten them again.
- Search him. - Yes sire.
Where did he go?
We searched every nook and corner of the fort..
..but, we couldn't find him.
It hurts, doesn't it?
It does, when one gets slapped.
Look at this, Look!
The mark of Tanhaji's claw.
It hurts.
Send our soldiers in every direction.
Any village that helps him..
Burn it.
I..
want..
Tanhaji.
We apologise, Malpatil ji.
Everything happened suddenly.
Tanhaji gave his word to Shivaji Raje.
And the promise given to me has no worth?
To change the auspicious day of marriage means..
What reputation will I have in the village Subhedarni bai?
We're a family now, Malpatil.
Your reputation is our reputation.
And as you can see, the preparations for Raiba's wedding..
..is in full swing in our village too.
But we wish the wedding to take place..
..on the date that was decided.
What difference does it make?
After a couple of days..
We want this wedding to take place on Ashtami (the eighth day of the lunar fortnight) only!
That is not possible Sahukar ji.
Brother took an oath in front of Shivaji Raje.
First, victory over Kondhana..
..and then Raiba's wedding.
Shivaji Raje!
I would've honoured his oath if it was taken in the witness of God.
Shivaji Raje is just a human being.
But he's no less than God.
Don't forget Sahukar, He's the pride of us Marathas.
When Shivaji Raje wields his sword..
..it safeguards and supports the honour of women and homes of everyone.
He make all of us proud.
But nobody knows when that pride will be besmirched in the name of Swaraj.
It's better to die like warrior, than to live like a coward.
If the mission is unsuccessful..
..God forbid.. if something happens to the Subhedar?
I promise you..
Whatever the outcome of the mission..
..the very next day, your daughter will become our daughter-in-law.
Well said my daughter-in-law!
You may leave now.
He's coming. Subhedar's coming.
So Surya, are the preparations done?
Yes. Brother.
Your wish is my command.
What's the news about the enemy?
One fort..two doors..five hundred fighters..two thousand Mughals.
One Nagin (serpent)..one snake charmer,Udaybhan.
You're applying turmeric..
..but your tears are adding salt to my wounds.
I convinced Malpatil..
..but how do I convince myself?
Tell me one thing..
..on one side is the debt I owe to my motherland..
..and on the other is my duty towards family.
What's more important?
I can ask questions too.
On one side is a mother's love..
..and on the other is her husband's oath.
Now what's more important?
In response, I can only say..
On one side are a human's desires..
..and the other side are their deeds (duty).
What's more important?
You have a way with words, just like you do with a sword.
It's impossible to win against you.
Imagine if I win Kondhana..
..then what gift will you give me?
Why imagine?
I know you will win.
And the gift will be whatever you want.
Then promise me.
You will welcome me dressed as a bride.
Brother?
Don't be afraid, Kamal.
Udaybhan is inspecting the fort's security.
I want to tell you something important.
On the night of Ashtami (the eighth day of the lunar fortnight)..
..Tanhaji Malusare will attack Kondhana.
Along with Kondhana, we will also be set free.
Kamal, I think we should help him.
How, brother?
You should accept Udaybhan's marriage proposal.
He will be lost in his happiness.
And it will make Tanhaji's work easier.
You trust Tanhaji so much?
I have seen history in Tanhaji's eyes.
And soon he will turn it.
Forgive them.
Our soldiers were guarding with their eyes wide open.
Right right, maybe that's how Tanhaji Malasure escaped.
Very safely.
Where did he go after escaping the fort?
No one knows.
Went looking for him.
You couldn't find him anywhere.
Because of this, I granted life to these slackers.
Sire! Sire!
Please reconsider. Spare their lives.
What kind of a joke is this, Jagat?
Not a joke..
A message of hope.
The outcome of your desires.
Dreams, wishes, aspirations..
An auspicious gesture of your wedding.
What does it mean?
Kamal said yes.
She will be yours on next Ashtami (the eighth day of the lunar fortnight).
Glory to Eklingji!
Sire!
What gift will you give me on my wedding?
Whatever you want.
Tanhaji Malusare!
- Magic..Magic. - Giddya!
- Magic..Magic.
Giddya! Have it.
Now you go and do so such a trick..
..show such bravery that the enemies squirm.
Mom.
What is this?
For good luck.
To make the enemies squirm.
Today, last wish of Giddya's father has come true.
Giddya has become a soldier.
May god bless Tanhaji with success.
Father, everyone is saying that Udaybhan has a huge army.
How will we defeat him?
Now you tell me..
How many Kauravas were there in the battle of Mahabharata?
How many were the Pandavas? - Five!
Who won the battle? - Pandavas.
Raiba, who will win today?
Subhedar Tanhaji Malusare.
No.
Swaraj will be victorious.
Truth will be victorious.
We all will be victorious.
Har Har Mahadev!
You are here?
Does everyone remember their part?
Yes Subhedar!
Along with Tatya-Shiru, Gorpade brothers and fifty soldiers..
..I will climb Dronagiri cliff.
We'll accomplish this task that's impossible for others.
And I shall wait at Kalyan darwaza (door) with 300 soldiers.
And I will climb up the secret passageway and open the Kalyan darwaza (door).
And we'll attack as soon as the door opens.
The attack will be from both the sides.
Surya and I will attack from the front..
..and you from the back along with 50 soldiers.
We will take over the Jhunjhar buruj (bastion).
And then Sadar (Court).
Sign of capture.
Cuckoo sound..Koo..Hoo.
Sign of danger.
Giddya's voice..
Not mine..
The owl's sound.
The way every particle of soil has a mountain..
..every seed has a forest, and every sword an army..
..likewise, inside each Maratha is a million Maratha.
This is our final conversation.
We shall meet again on Kondhana.
Call the Ghorpade brothers.
Laxman, pull..pull it upward.
Laxman, stop.
No! No!
Glory to Mahadev!
Laxman, no!
Magic. Magic. Magic. Magic.
I would have been injured.
Brother, no news of Tanhaji yet.
Have faith in destiny.
Sire, Marathas have scaled the fort.
WHAT? HOW?
Magic.
Sire, we've lost the Kalyan Darwaza (door).
Now Maha Darwaza (Main door) is the last hope.
Magic. Magic.
Turn the cannon,
Aim at Rajgad.
Yes sire.
Charge ahead!
One battle is going on at Kondhana..
..another one in my heart.
I want to take soldiers and leave for Kondhana right now.
Subhedar Tanhaji made you take a vow, Raje.
You shall not leave Rajgad until he sends a message.
My tears are not stopping..
..that means, he must be bleeding.
Make the preparations, Pant.
We're breaking the vow we made to Tanhya.
People leave behind many possessions.
I am leaving you behind with a debt.
'Freedom of our motherland.'
Aau Saheb.
Final salutation Raje.
The fort is conquered..
..but I lost my lion.
That day, the benefactor of millions wept intensely.
Tanhya was draped in the Saffron (Maratha flag) after conquering Kondhana.
Aurangzeb's dream of capturing the whole of India remained a dream.
Shivaji Raje himself arrived at Umrath and performed the rites of Raiba's wedding.
And in a closed room, Savitri kept her promise.
I know you will win.
And the gift will be whatever you want.
Then promise me.
You will welcome me dressed as a bride.
