Tavvai (2026) Movie Script
Huh? You both are here? At this hour?
- Is everything all right?
- Namaste.
- Welcome, Brother Hasmukh.
- Greetings.
Please, have a seat.
You're soaking wet!
How are your farm products doing?
Thank God, everything's fine.
So, what's up?
What I have to say is...
Oh, esteemed Akadashi, we're holding a housewarming ceremony...
for our new house.
I'm sure you already know.
Yes, of course.
And for it, we want...
The first steps taken in our new house to belong to Akshata.
The footsteps of Goddess Lakshmi.
Of course, why not?
You didn't even need to ask us!
We'll definitely come!
What's wrong, brother?
- Are you all right?
- It's nothing.
But...
Please don't bring her along.
(Singing)
Goddess Lakshmi has come to our house...
Make way!
Step aside!
She's coming!
She's here now!
She's coming!
Go!
Why, child?
Didn't I tell you not to come here?
Then why did you come?
Speak!
Why did you come?
Talk!
How cursed you are!
Did I ever wrong you in a past life?
Haven't we already told you...
Don't you dare call this cursed child here!
Please forgive us, brother.
Forgive me, all of you.
Kali Yuga.
The age of pride and darkness.
Where the human mind finds gambling...
Intoxication...
Prostitution...
Murder...
Greed and other
impure thoughts appealing.
And the lord of these
demonic thoughts is none other than...
Demon Kali!
Do you know how Demon Kali came into being?
They say when the ocean was churned...
And Lord Mahadev drank the poison that emerged...
A few drops of that poison spilled and fell to the earth.
And from those drops of poison, he was born...
Demon Kali!
The lord of Kali Yuga, Kali was cursed.
Cursed to dwell forever
in the minds of humans.
But see how strange destiny is...
The one who cursed Kali,
a descendant of the Pandavas, King Parikshit...
was himself struck by the same curse.
When King Parikshit
placed the golden crown on his head...
which the Pandavas had obtained
by wrongful means.
Then the demon of greed, Kali,
took hold of his mind.
And history bears witness that...
Wherever Kali's demonic powers
take hold...
there, Goddess Lakshmi
is always disrespected.
And wherever Goddess Lakshmi
is disrespected...
Alakshmi takes up residence.
Alakshmi.
The goddess of misfortune.
The cause of all
of humanity's suffering.
Tavi.
shine021
You had that dream again?
Why won't you listen to me?
At least meet with the priest once...
Hail to Bairon!
Om Kriya.
The yogic process of listening to the sounds of...
the subtle chakras of the body.
How long have you been studying?
About two years, Master.
Then you should begin practicing
Kriya Yoga now.
Master...
I want to go to the Yogananda ashram to learn Kriya Yoga.
And I hope...
that I won't come back.
Pramandra, my child.
Giving up everything to go to the forest or the ashram...
to become excellent in your practice?
That's neither right nor necessary.
Raja Yoga, the royal path...
Karma Yoga, the path of selfless action...
Jnana Yoga, the path of knowledge.
All these paths will be fruitless
if your soul isn't ready
to surrender to God.
So work on worshipping God.
And if you must give something up...
then give up your pride, like your father did.
Master has been watching over our village for years!
- What good has it done?
- Put your thumbprint here.
Sidpur's biggest problem is not going away.
Everyone is leaving the village.
Yes, I heard...
Lalu wants to go to the city too.
- The Thakur has arrived.
- The Thakur is here!
Please present your problems to the Thakur.
Thakur...
This year the crops were lost again.
Why are our gods punishing us? What have we done?
Please don't worry.
This year too, the Thakur has set aside grain for the whole village.
Thakur, this is a very old problem.
This problem won't be solved by giving us grain.
And you know very well that...
Misfortune is emptying our village.
If we don't find a solution soon, Thakur...
The village will be destroyed.
The first match of the day is between Appu Singh, the beloved of Sidhpur...
and Gajodhar, the wrestler from the village of Baliya.
Today's match was arranged by the young Thakur of our own village.
Gajodhar is a master at destroying opponents in seconds!
We can see Appu Singh is giving it his all...
And Gajodhar has thrown Appu Singh out!
What is this!
The young Thakur is bleeding!
What do you think, Thakur?
Sidhpur's defeat means...
Your defeat.
He is openly challenging you, Thakur.
You have to accept, or else...
Do you understand?
-- He is challenging the Thakur himself!
Will he accept?
And the Thakur's intention seems clear!
He accepted the challenge and jumped into the ring!
This match is getting interesting!
How will Gajodhar respond?
Both wrestlers clash...
Gajodhar slams the Thakur straight to the ground!
A display of incredible power!
But the Lord won't back down that easily!
He grabbed the Gujodar--
And the crowd cheers with joy!
The Lord has won again!
Unbelievable! And the winners are... Seyedpour and the young Lord!
Hey, how did you get hurt?
I don't understand...
Are you going to a wrestling match or a war?
Come on.
Come out of the water, I'll rub turmeric on your wound.
Hurry up!
Ratti, I've been loyal to this village for years.
I'm doing whatever I can.
Whatever it takes.
But the situation keeps getting worse.
Please, listen to me.
I still think you should meet with the priest.
Trust me.
He can show us the right way.
How did you get this wound just now?
Brother, this isn't a wound, it's a badge of honor.
Rukmani?
Bring the halva.
Yes, Mother. I'll bring it.
No.
Give it to him. He'll dedicate this too.
Yatu.
Don't start again.
But why not, Mother?
He dedicates things like this at every ceremony.
He used to just distribute grain.
But now he wants to feed them!
You know how much worse things have gotten in the village.
And our plate has never been empty.
Shouldn't we be grateful for that?
Enough, Mother. You too!
If the villagers want it, he'll even give them the treasure of Kuber!
But if I ask for money to start a business...
then he won't even give up a single rupee.
- Yatu--
- Enough!
Even our possessions aren't really ours.
We have no say over our own wealth.
Yatu, that's enough. Now be quiet.
He's not wrong, Mother.
If he wants to start a business, then we should--
And you shouldn't listen to his talk either.
I've already told you both.
This wealth belongs to the people.
And it should be used only for the people.
Stop it, Father!
All of this talk is nonsense.
There's no truth in it at all.
- The people's wealth!
- Your Excellency!
- Yes?
- Krishna is here.
What is it, Krishna?
Your Excellency, my mother--
What's happened to her?
Your Excellency, I don't know what to do.
She's had a high fever for two days.
The doctor's medicine isn't working...
And now she's given up too.
Don't worry.
All right?
She'll be fine.
Please save my mother...
- Call Pramandra.
- Yes, sir.
Don't cry, all right?
Your Excellency...
Only you can help us now.
Please do something, save my mother!
Sir...
Your Excellency, they've asked for you.
Take Krishna's mother to the town hospital.
Yes, Father.
- Go, son.
- Thank you, Your Excellency.
Come.
Pramandra...
Yes?
Don't go that way.
Breathe, breathe...
We're close, Mother.
Brother.
What happened, brother?
Mother, everything's fine.
Mother...
Mother...
Mother, try to breathe!
Something's happening to her!
Brother!
Please hurry!
Mother!
No, Mother...
Brother, my mother...
Glory to Mahakal!
Fortune has smiled on me. Your Excellency has come to see me himself.
You've finally come to me for a solution.
Respected master, the people of Sidpur are in trouble.
Our suffering is endless.
We're doing everything we can.
But it seems the village is doomed to ruin!
Ruin!
The people of Sidpur, and your family...
are paying for the sins of your own ancestors.
Your Excellency.
A person inherits more from his ancestors than just wealth.
They also inherit the consequences of their good deeds and sins.
And those must be paid for.
Respected master...
A way out of this great crisis--
My father showed that path to your father fifty years ago...
Fifty years ago.
But following that path...
wasn't meant to be his destiny.
Respected master,
I don't know what else to do.
Please, help us.
There's only one solution.
That peepal tree.
You must worship it every day.
With complete faith and devotion.
So that people's fear turns into belief.
Once the villagers also start worshipping that tree...
then I'll tell you the final rite.
After that, Tavi will leave Sidpur for good.
May Bairav protect us.
Sidpur General Hospital...
has been built for the residents of this village.
So, all of your treatments...
will be free at this hospital.
- Praise be to Lord Ouddesh!
- Glory to Lord Ouddesh!
Do you agree with all this?
He built a new hospital, and a
new mansion? For a priest?
Why is this man trying to become the king of Bali in this Kali Yuga?
This man?
We may not always agree with him.
But we still must respect him, Yatu.
All these doctors standing here...
came from the city...
to take care of the people of Sidpur!
Brother, do you think I don't respect him?
I'm saying this to myself.
I'm just speaking differently.
Brother, think about it, if we invest the money
in a new business...
then we'll earn more money.
And who benefits from this?
It's in our own interest, isn't it?
Isn't it?
- Glory to Lord Odesh!
- Glory!
If you want to give glory, give it to the great protector, Lord Bayrunath!
Glory to Lord Bayrunath!
Glory!
'...creating sin and poverty...'
'...where adulterers live...'
We've got the rest covered. We just need water and a coconut.
Glory. Please, have a seat.
(Hymn in Sanskrit)
Has he lost his mind?
Why is he gambling with his life?
Isn't anyone going to stop him?
Your Excellency is doing this for the good of the villagers.
You don't know that everything that's happening...
is their own doing!
Please pay attention to this.
If a woman is pregnant, she can't take part in this ceremony.
Please, if such a situation exists, let me know.
- Rukmani.
- Yes.
(Hymn in Sanskrit)
(Hymn in Sanskrit)
What are you doing here?
And why aren't you at the ceremony?
Rukmani, you know that...
I don't do things I don't like.
Anyway, nobody cares...
whether I'm here or not.
Don't you remember what happened that night?
Sauda was under this very tree... and they built a mansion here!
I'm here with my hands tied, to beg you all...
please come in and worship the peepal tree with us.
And pray to the gods Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh...
so that Sidpur is freed from fear.
And may peace return to our lives.
And may it bring prosperity to our family.
Come on, please come in.
Please, come in, everyone together--
Please, come on, there's no need to be afraid!
How wonderful, Father!
After such a long time, I've seen you smile.
It's good to see.
It's only natural that I smile.
After all these years, we've taken a big step...
to resolve our crisis.
Father...
Were things really that bad?
That you had to build a new mansion?
And here, of all places?
You don't understand how bad it really was.
When I left...
you had to shoulder this burden.
You never told me much about it.
So how was I supposed to know?
I'm telling you now.
My son.
Our ancestors committed such great sins...
such terrible deeds...
that we are still paying the price for those sins...
not only our family, but Sidhpur as well.
Your grandfather...
Veer Narayan Singh--
Father! Father!
Is anyone there!
Father! Help!
Father!
What happened, Father!
Someone bring water!
- What happened?
- Father...
Help! Someone help him!
Quick, go get some water!
- What happened?
- Father...
Your Excellency! Open your eyes!
What happened to him!
This was bound to happen.
No... no...
Your Excellency...
You can't leave like this, Your Excellency!
You can't leave me alone like this, Your Excellency!
'O cursed one, stay there forever...'
'Where men live who covet others' wealth...'
'Where husbands and wives often quarrel...'
'May that place be plagued with poverty forever...'
'May that place be plagued with poverty forever...'
O Mother Narmada...
O Mother Narmada...
I wish you would flow forever...
Flowing gently, like a stream of milk
descending from the sky.
O Mother Narmada...
O Mother Narmada,
for your sacred darshan...
The devotees of Bam Bam Bhole have come
to bathe in your holy waters on your banks.
O Mahadev Baba...
'Praise to the Lord Bairav, under whose feet King Indra lies.'
'Adorned with snakes, with the moon upon his head.'
'His garment is the sky, and he is praised by the wise.'
'Praise to the Lord Bairav, lord of the city of Kashi.'
Your father always wanted...
that Yatu and you...
to spend your lives helping the villagers.
Now that he's gone...
you must finish everything he started.
What did our ancestors do, Mother?
Your grandfather was the youngest of four brothers.
He realized very early on...
that all this wealth, all this gold...
was cursed.
He had seen his three brothers...
abusing this wealth
for greed and pleasure.
Without realizing it, he invited Tawi here.
This cursed wealth brought ruin to their families.
There is a secret corridor in our old mansion.
It leads to a room.
In the room, there is a safe.
That safe holds all the cursed wealth.
Your grandfather...
with the help of Father Shivanand...
sealed that door forever.
But Mother, where did this ancestral curse begin?
My beloved plants trees,
my beloved tends the garden...
tends the garden...
On the day Ram took her away,
Shyam was left alone.
No one can be called your own.
Bulbul says--
- Hey, uncle!
- Yes?
When will the next ceremony be held?
This is not the time for that.
Rokmani, stop it!
Wake up, Your Lordship!
It's ten in the morning!
Today is Lord Bayrao's birthday!
And I want you, me, and our child...
to go and receive Lord Bayrao's blessing!
Rokmani, you know...
I have nothing to do with anything religious.
But why?
God and I don't get along very well.
Who could possibly not get along with God?
Demons.
And I... I'm a demon!
Let me go.
Your Lordship, there's been a theft.
A theft from the grain storehouse!
Hurry up, Your Excellency.
The villagers caught the thief!
- Let him go!
- The young lord has arrived!
You dare to steal our grain?
Yatu...
Brother.
He was trying to steal our grain.
He got caught.
We have nothing left to eat, sir.
Ever since Your Excellency died...
No ceremony has been held for three months!
Where are we poor people supposed to go?
Shut up!
The grain that's given as alms...
And the life that's sustained by charity
is what has kept you alive.
If it weren't for us...
Yatu!
I think we should drive him out of the village.
- Yes, throw him out!
- Kick him out!
What could I have done, Your Excellency?
We're starving to death!
I haven't eaten anything in three days!
The grain that...
had been cut off for the past three months...
It will be distributed immediately.
-- Praise be to Lord Pramandra!
-- Praise be to Your Excellency!
Do you hear that?
Do you hear that?
They're still chanting praise to Lord Pramandra!
Praise be to Lord Pramandra! Praise--
You said you'd succeed your father?
Bastard.
I'll show you who will succeed my father!
What's the point of beating me?
Your kingdom is slipping away from you...
What a perfect coincidence...
Today, on the
anniversary of Lord Bairav...
Another Lord Bairav has been born.
Lord Bairav guarantees that...
all sinners will be punished...
and everyone will get their own justice.
My son needs treatment...
Hey! Let me go!
What are you doing?
Where are you taking this child? He's sick!
Let him go!
I said I'd take care of it myself, calm down!
Your Excellency, please help us!
This is a mistake, Your Excellency.
This is a mistake.
Your Excellency.
This isn't right, Your Excellency.
From today on, it's no longer free.
If you can't pay, get out!
Throw everyone out!
Go, get out!
Be careful.
No treatment will be free anymore.
Don't leave payment to anyone but the doctor.
I can't do anything without it, you have to pay me.
Doctor, it used to be free...
Yes, it used to be, but now you have to pay.
Your Excellency, I've done nothing wrong!
I have great respect for the late Your Excellency!
But I--
If you want, you can ask everyone
who was in the hospital!
Everyone who was there, please stand up.
Please don't be afraid. Tell me the truth.
...and they threw us out.
My son is sick...
...they beat us...
...what could we do, Your Excellency?
...that hospital was ours...
'...at his feet...'
'...King Indra lies...'
Hey, kid! You'll fall!
Come down!
Pramandra!
Take the juice of these flowers and give it to your child.
Pramandra.
'O cursed one...'
'...stay there forever...'
O cursed one, stay there forever
'O cursed one...'
The breath of every being is in your hands,
and the thread of life.
O Lord, you exist in every particle,
dwelling all around us.
The breath of every being is in your hands,
and the thread of life.
O Lord, you exist in every particle,
dwelling all around us.
You are another name for hope and faith.
O divine one, I bow before you.
Whoever whispers your name
receives only blessed grace, forever.
O Dwa... O Dwa...
O Dwa... O Dwa...
O Dwa... O Dwa...
O Dwa... O Dwa...
Seeing the joyful Sidpur
fills me with happiness.
But, Pramandra...
You must make sure that...
the people remain motivated like this.
To kill Dushan, Lord Mahakal
had to reveal himself...
in the city of Avantika.
Likewise, you will find the final solution
to this crisis...
in that city.
Without understanding your divine illusion,
we doubted you.
Who can truly know what is in your heart?
Even we never understood it.
In countless forms,
you descended to the earth
to guide mankind through life's struggles.
You have grown into a mighty tree, and your shade...
offers refuge and grace to all.
What we thought was a curse
has turned out to be a great blessing.
In the form of a sacred tree,
you have granted us your divine presence, O Lord.
O Dwa... O Dwa...
O Dwa... O Dwa...
O Dwa... O Dwa...
O Dwa... O Dwa...
(Singing) Let us pray to Lord Bairav!
'O cursed one...'
(Singing) Let us pray--
'O cursed one...'
(Singing) We shall pray to the Lord--
'O cursed one...'
'...stay there forever...'
'O cursed one,
stay there forever....'
- Let's go!
- Let's go!
'O cursed one...'
'O cursed one...'
'...stay there forever...'
Where's the money you took from the villagers?
Your Excellency...
This is all the money.
Give back all the money right away.
What's wrong, brother?
At least ask the hospital owner.
What are you saying, Yatu!
Have you lost your mind?
You know very well that the hospital isn't for us...
- It's for the villagers--
- I know.
I'm trying to correct his mistakes.
Listen.
I'm not a fool like my father.
Yatendra!
Using force suits me, not you.
And listen.
You've got a sick mind,
just like your father.
Learn to control it.
- Yato!
- What are you doing, Yato!
Yato, let him go!
What's wrong? Why are you doing this?
- Stop it!
- Hey!
Control your son, Adel.
Tell him not to act like my father.
Snap out of it, Yato!
It's as if you've been possessed!
I'm not possessed.
You are.
Don't pretend to be well-meaning.
Enough with this nonsense about
ancestral curses and that tree!
Now, whatever I say...
that's what will happen.
Now I want...
the property divided.
And...
I want you to listen carefully.
This time, I won't beg.
I'll get my share at any cost.
Come on, Rokmani.
Everything you've done until now...
I've put up with all of it.
But what you did today...
Do you think it was right?
You were never like this before.
You're losing yourself.
Silence.
Now you want to lecture me?
If I can run away with you...
I can send you away too.
- Hey, come here!
- All the grain inside!
Hurry up, bring more water!
- Hurry!
- More water!
Bring more water!
Your Excellency.
The grain was only brought in yesterday!
Now look what's happened!
Come on, hurry!
Please, let me help you.
How times have changed!
The same tree the villagers
used to be afraid of...
Now it's become a source of joy for them.
How selfish we humans are.
We only raise our hands in prayer when we want something.
But never to give thanks.
How did this happen?
I don't know, but...
We found pieces of a glass bottle
near the storehouse.
Someone clearly lit this fire.
What happened to your hand?
Veer Narayan Singh is back.
Mother...
Mother, where did this ancestral curse begin?
With your grandfather.
Veer Narayan Singh.
Let me go, I was praying!
You were praying?
Here you are.
Let me pray too.
Yatindra!
Yatindra, stop it!
Have you lost your mind?
You're tearing this family apart!
You're turning into a monster!
First the hospital, and now the storehouse.
I never thought you'd sink this low.
Tell Mother.
Where did you find this?
So you found the treasure?
Your greed has blinded you, Yatu!
I'm not greedy. You are!
You denied me my inheritance!
You hid my own wealth from me!
Has your greed made you so selfish
that you can't let go of the people's grain?
Our father's tradition, our grandfather's...
Do you want to destroy that tradition?
Enough!
I won't tolerate this.
I won't let you ruin their name.
It doesn't matter who I have to face.
It doesn't matter who?
You only have to face...
me.
You have to face me.
Don't do this, Yatu!
'...stay there forever...'
'Cursed one...'
...it's all cursed!
Enough!
All this wealth is mine.
I am the rightful owner!
Whatever I want, I'll take by force!
This could bring disaster, listen to me!
- Yatu!
- Mother!
Whoever I kill...
who stands in my way!
Yatu!
- Rukmani! Rukmani!
- Yatundra!
Rukmani! Rukmani!
Bring the car!
shine021
Pramandra, what happened?
Forget it.
How is Rukmani?
She's fine.
The baby's fine too.
But the doctor said...
that there's an infection.
This...
What's happening is not right.
It's not right at all.
I'm really scared.
But the priest said...
the troubles will ease.
The priest...
- Glory to Lord Shiva!
- Praise be to God!
This is the town where Lord Mahakal...
killed the demon Dushan.
But the demons of Kali Yuga are invisible.
They dwell in the minds of men...
and trap them in webs of illusion.
As a result, the demon Kali...
takes over human minds.
According to the scriptures, Tavi will dwell...
wherever the demon Kali prevails.
History is repeating itself, Pramandra.
Your grandfather,
Veer Narayan Singh...
was a cruel and merciless landlord.
He lent money to the poor at high interest...
and stole their lands.
The village was full of
fear and poverty.
He personally made sure...
that the villagers could not
repay their loans on time...
and were forced to hand over their lands to him.
...Please forgive us, this won't happen again.
Your Lordship, please--
His wicked eye fell on every woman in the village.
Sadly, no one in the village
could stand up to him.
Help me!
Save me!
Its demonic nature grew so strong...
that it didn't even spare the temple of Lord Bairav.
Every year, on the birthday of Lord Bairav...
the villagers would bring golden jewelry as offerings.
This monster didn't even let that custom continue.
Vir Narayan Singh gathered all the
stolen wealth, the gold and jewels...
into one enormous treasure chest.
For centuries, demons have
been trying to increase their power...
by deceiving the innocent through illusion...
which causes them to take on a demonic nature.
Your grandfather, Vir Narayan Singh...
summoned Tavi for her sins.
Tavi, who was born as Dakshata...
into a farmer's family in Sidpur.
And suddenly, poverty entered their lives.
Unfortunately, the farmer, Puran Lal...
became a gambler and an alcoholic.
Unlike him, his wife, Purti Devi...
was often worried about her family.
And she constantly prayed to
Lord Bairav on their behalf.
But the powers of poverty
were so strong...
that there was always
turmoil and fighting in their home.
All efforts to put an end
to this suffering were in vain.
It was then that they realized
Dakshata was not an ordinary girl.
And they came to my grandfather,
the priest Vimalanand...
with Dakshata's horoscope.
Alakshmi.
When the demigods and demons
churned the ocean of milk...
many gods were born from that churning.
One of them was Alakshmi.
She was the elder sister of the goddess Lakshmi.
Wherever Alakshmi goes...
sorrow, jealousy, resentment...
and suffering follow her.
It even causes fights within the family.
Unfortunately, your daughter was born...
Under the star of Alakshmi.
Respected master...
There must be a solution!
Don't worry.
During that same churning, after Alakshmi's birth...
Goddess Lakshmi was born too.
If, at the right time, under the right stars, you make an effort...
Then Lakshmi will be born to you as well.
But be careful...
Wherever Goddess Lakshmi is disrespected...
Alakshmi fills that place with rage and chaos.
Then you will find nothing but misery...
And poverty there.
And my grandfather's words were true.
Puran Lal and Purti gave birth to Akshata.
And after her birth...
Puran Lal's luck changed.
One day, he found a chest...
Full of gold jewelry, in his field.
That chest met all his needs.
But Puran Lal didn't realize...
When his desires outran his needs.
And when a person confuses desires
with needs...
No amount of wealth can ever satisfy him.
Praise be to Lord Bairav, under whose feet King Indra lies at rest.
Adorned with serpents, with the moon upon his head.
His garment is the sky, and he is praised by the wise.
Praise be to Lord Bairav, lord of the city of Kashi.
After receiving the blessing of
peace and prosperity...
Purti gave thanks to Lord Bairav with a vow...
That if anyone in her family died...
Their ashes would be offered at the prayer ceremony of ashes.
Akshata grew jealous of her new sister.
She began to see her sister as an enemy.
Glory to Lord Bairav, under whose feet King Indra lies at rest.
Adorned with serpents, with the moon upon his head.
Clothed in the sky, and praised by the wise--
Puran Lal's luck made him so powerful...
that he began gambling
at the same table with Veer Narayan Singh.
Then the day came...
when even Veer Narayan Singh
lost to Puran Lal.
Today I rule over everyone.
His victory was a bitter pill for Veer Narayan Singh.
Did we do the wrong thing, Your Excellency?
How wonderful!
New jewels?
Your Excellency...
Your Excellency?
Is that all?
Just this?
We have nothing else, Your Excellency.
Your Excellency, we found this.
If you find one, there must be more.
Your Excellency, we have nothing else.
Please forgive us.
Dakshata.
Look after Akshata.
What's going on?
Why are you beating him?
Let him go!
Your Excellency...
Please let him go.
He hasn't done anything.
We are your subjects, Your Excellency.
Please spare his life.
We have nothing, Your Excellency!
Go and bring the girl...
The one they say is the goddess Lakshmi.
Dakshata!
Grab Akshata and run!
Hey...
- Sit down.
- Your Excellency.
Now tell me.
Or your daughter...
will be killed.
Your Excellency, what should we do with this girl?
shine021
Let me go!
Respected master...
What's the solution to this?
A final ceremony.
And you must perform it.
Only that will calm Sidpur.
(Reciting prayers)
- Hey!
- What is he doing?
The root of the problem...
...this tree.
- No!
- Stop it!
- Please stop!
- It's going to destroy us!
Rukmani!
You'll be fine! You'll be fine!
Doctor!
- It's falling!
- It's collapsing!
- Run!
- Let's go!
Hurry!
Let's get out of here!
My life's thread was tied to you.
Your shadow was always above me.
You were my only courage.
But in the midst of the storm,
you left me behind...
In what confusion did you leave me?
Now I see no way forward.
It was you who gave me these eyes,
but wherever I look,
I only search for you.
Come to me, my remedy...
Where are you hiding?
I have no refuge but you.
Come to me, my remedy...
Where have you hidden yourself?
(frightened voices)
- Quarantine them!
- Bring the medicine!
- Help them!
- Is anyone here?
(frightened voices)
Your Eminence...
Please, come with me.
Look, because of this child...
All of this...
- Will someone help?
- Help us!
What kind of epidemic is this, Your Eminence?
- Your Eminence!
- Please help us!
Mother! Where is Mother?
Your Eminence, Sonu...
'Praise to Lord Bairao, beneath whose feet
King Indra lies.'
'Adorned with serpents,
with the moon upon his head.'
A final ceremony.
And you have to perform it.
Only that will bring peace to Sidpur.
You must complete
Porti's unfinished vow.
Lord Shiva must be drowned in their ashes!

- Glory to Lord Mahadev!
A fragment of the demon Kali.
- Is everything all right?
- Namaste.
- Welcome, Brother Hasmukh.
- Greetings.
Please, have a seat.
You're soaking wet!
How are your farm products doing?
Thank God, everything's fine.
So, what's up?
What I have to say is...
Oh, esteemed Akadashi, we're holding a housewarming ceremony...
for our new house.
I'm sure you already know.
Yes, of course.
And for it, we want...
The first steps taken in our new house to belong to Akshata.
The footsteps of Goddess Lakshmi.
Of course, why not?
You didn't even need to ask us!
We'll definitely come!
What's wrong, brother?
- Are you all right?
- It's nothing.
But...
Please don't bring her along.
(Singing)
Goddess Lakshmi has come to our house...
Make way!
Step aside!
She's coming!
She's here now!
She's coming!
Go!
Why, child?
Didn't I tell you not to come here?
Then why did you come?
Speak!
Why did you come?
Talk!
How cursed you are!
Did I ever wrong you in a past life?
Haven't we already told you...
Don't you dare call this cursed child here!
Please forgive us, brother.
Forgive me, all of you.
Kali Yuga.
The age of pride and darkness.
Where the human mind finds gambling...
Intoxication...
Prostitution...
Murder...
Greed and other
impure thoughts appealing.
And the lord of these
demonic thoughts is none other than...
Demon Kali!
Do you know how Demon Kali came into being?
They say when the ocean was churned...
And Lord Mahadev drank the poison that emerged...
A few drops of that poison spilled and fell to the earth.
And from those drops of poison, he was born...
Demon Kali!
The lord of Kali Yuga, Kali was cursed.
Cursed to dwell forever
in the minds of humans.
But see how strange destiny is...
The one who cursed Kali,
a descendant of the Pandavas, King Parikshit...
was himself struck by the same curse.
When King Parikshit
placed the golden crown on his head...
which the Pandavas had obtained
by wrongful means.
Then the demon of greed, Kali,
took hold of his mind.
And history bears witness that...
Wherever Kali's demonic powers
take hold...
there, Goddess Lakshmi
is always disrespected.
And wherever Goddess Lakshmi
is disrespected...
Alakshmi takes up residence.
Alakshmi.
The goddess of misfortune.
The cause of all
of humanity's suffering.
Tavi.
shine021
You had that dream again?
Why won't you listen to me?
At least meet with the priest once...
Hail to Bairon!
Om Kriya.
The yogic process of listening to the sounds of...
the subtle chakras of the body.
How long have you been studying?
About two years, Master.
Then you should begin practicing
Kriya Yoga now.
Master...
I want to go to the Yogananda ashram to learn Kriya Yoga.
And I hope...
that I won't come back.
Pramandra, my child.
Giving up everything to go to the forest or the ashram...
to become excellent in your practice?
That's neither right nor necessary.
Raja Yoga, the royal path...
Karma Yoga, the path of selfless action...
Jnana Yoga, the path of knowledge.
All these paths will be fruitless
if your soul isn't ready
to surrender to God.
So work on worshipping God.
And if you must give something up...
then give up your pride, like your father did.
Master has been watching over our village for years!
- What good has it done?
- Put your thumbprint here.
Sidpur's biggest problem is not going away.
Everyone is leaving the village.
Yes, I heard...
Lalu wants to go to the city too.
- The Thakur has arrived.
- The Thakur is here!
Please present your problems to the Thakur.
Thakur...
This year the crops were lost again.
Why are our gods punishing us? What have we done?
Please don't worry.
This year too, the Thakur has set aside grain for the whole village.
Thakur, this is a very old problem.
This problem won't be solved by giving us grain.
And you know very well that...
Misfortune is emptying our village.
If we don't find a solution soon, Thakur...
The village will be destroyed.
The first match of the day is between Appu Singh, the beloved of Sidhpur...
and Gajodhar, the wrestler from the village of Baliya.
Today's match was arranged by the young Thakur of our own village.
Gajodhar is a master at destroying opponents in seconds!
We can see Appu Singh is giving it his all...
And Gajodhar has thrown Appu Singh out!
What is this!
The young Thakur is bleeding!
What do you think, Thakur?
Sidhpur's defeat means...
Your defeat.
He is openly challenging you, Thakur.
You have to accept, or else...
Do you understand?
-- He is challenging the Thakur himself!
Will he accept?
And the Thakur's intention seems clear!
He accepted the challenge and jumped into the ring!
This match is getting interesting!
How will Gajodhar respond?
Both wrestlers clash...
Gajodhar slams the Thakur straight to the ground!
A display of incredible power!
But the Lord won't back down that easily!
He grabbed the Gujodar--
And the crowd cheers with joy!
The Lord has won again!
Unbelievable! And the winners are... Seyedpour and the young Lord!
Hey, how did you get hurt?
I don't understand...
Are you going to a wrestling match or a war?
Come on.
Come out of the water, I'll rub turmeric on your wound.
Hurry up!
Ratti, I've been loyal to this village for years.
I'm doing whatever I can.
Whatever it takes.
But the situation keeps getting worse.
Please, listen to me.
I still think you should meet with the priest.
Trust me.
He can show us the right way.
How did you get this wound just now?
Brother, this isn't a wound, it's a badge of honor.
Rukmani?
Bring the halva.
Yes, Mother. I'll bring it.
No.
Give it to him. He'll dedicate this too.
Yatu.
Don't start again.
But why not, Mother?
He dedicates things like this at every ceremony.
He used to just distribute grain.
But now he wants to feed them!
You know how much worse things have gotten in the village.
And our plate has never been empty.
Shouldn't we be grateful for that?
Enough, Mother. You too!
If the villagers want it, he'll even give them the treasure of Kuber!
But if I ask for money to start a business...
then he won't even give up a single rupee.
- Yatu--
- Enough!
Even our possessions aren't really ours.
We have no say over our own wealth.
Yatu, that's enough. Now be quiet.
He's not wrong, Mother.
If he wants to start a business, then we should--
And you shouldn't listen to his talk either.
I've already told you both.
This wealth belongs to the people.
And it should be used only for the people.
Stop it, Father!
All of this talk is nonsense.
There's no truth in it at all.
- The people's wealth!
- Your Excellency!
- Yes?
- Krishna is here.
What is it, Krishna?
Your Excellency, my mother--
What's happened to her?
Your Excellency, I don't know what to do.
She's had a high fever for two days.
The doctor's medicine isn't working...
And now she's given up too.
Don't worry.
All right?
She'll be fine.
Please save my mother...
- Call Pramandra.
- Yes, sir.
Don't cry, all right?
Your Excellency...
Only you can help us now.
Please do something, save my mother!
Sir...
Your Excellency, they've asked for you.
Take Krishna's mother to the town hospital.
Yes, Father.
- Go, son.
- Thank you, Your Excellency.
Come.
Pramandra...
Yes?
Don't go that way.
Breathe, breathe...
We're close, Mother.
Brother.
What happened, brother?
Mother, everything's fine.
Mother...
Mother...
Mother, try to breathe!
Something's happening to her!
Brother!
Please hurry!
Mother!
No, Mother...
Brother, my mother...
Glory to Mahakal!
Fortune has smiled on me. Your Excellency has come to see me himself.
You've finally come to me for a solution.
Respected master, the people of Sidpur are in trouble.
Our suffering is endless.
We're doing everything we can.
But it seems the village is doomed to ruin!
Ruin!
The people of Sidpur, and your family...
are paying for the sins of your own ancestors.
Your Excellency.
A person inherits more from his ancestors than just wealth.
They also inherit the consequences of their good deeds and sins.
And those must be paid for.
Respected master...
A way out of this great crisis--
My father showed that path to your father fifty years ago...
Fifty years ago.
But following that path...
wasn't meant to be his destiny.
Respected master,
I don't know what else to do.
Please, help us.
There's only one solution.
That peepal tree.
You must worship it every day.
With complete faith and devotion.
So that people's fear turns into belief.
Once the villagers also start worshipping that tree...
then I'll tell you the final rite.
After that, Tavi will leave Sidpur for good.
May Bairav protect us.
Sidpur General Hospital...
has been built for the residents of this village.
So, all of your treatments...
will be free at this hospital.
- Praise be to Lord Ouddesh!
- Glory to Lord Ouddesh!
Do you agree with all this?
He built a new hospital, and a
new mansion? For a priest?
Why is this man trying to become the king of Bali in this Kali Yuga?
This man?
We may not always agree with him.
But we still must respect him, Yatu.
All these doctors standing here...
came from the city...
to take care of the people of Sidpur!
Brother, do you think I don't respect him?
I'm saying this to myself.
I'm just speaking differently.
Brother, think about it, if we invest the money
in a new business...
then we'll earn more money.
And who benefits from this?
It's in our own interest, isn't it?
Isn't it?
- Glory to Lord Odesh!
- Glory!
If you want to give glory, give it to the great protector, Lord Bayrunath!
Glory to Lord Bayrunath!
Glory!
'...creating sin and poverty...'
'...where adulterers live...'
We've got the rest covered. We just need water and a coconut.
Glory. Please, have a seat.
(Hymn in Sanskrit)
Has he lost his mind?
Why is he gambling with his life?
Isn't anyone going to stop him?
Your Excellency is doing this for the good of the villagers.
You don't know that everything that's happening...
is their own doing!
Please pay attention to this.
If a woman is pregnant, she can't take part in this ceremony.
Please, if such a situation exists, let me know.
- Rukmani.
- Yes.
(Hymn in Sanskrit)
(Hymn in Sanskrit)
What are you doing here?
And why aren't you at the ceremony?
Rukmani, you know that...
I don't do things I don't like.
Anyway, nobody cares...
whether I'm here or not.
Don't you remember what happened that night?
Sauda was under this very tree... and they built a mansion here!
I'm here with my hands tied, to beg you all...
please come in and worship the peepal tree with us.
And pray to the gods Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh...
so that Sidpur is freed from fear.
And may peace return to our lives.
And may it bring prosperity to our family.
Come on, please come in.
Please, come in, everyone together--
Please, come on, there's no need to be afraid!
How wonderful, Father!
After such a long time, I've seen you smile.
It's good to see.
It's only natural that I smile.
After all these years, we've taken a big step...
to resolve our crisis.
Father...
Were things really that bad?
That you had to build a new mansion?
And here, of all places?
You don't understand how bad it really was.
When I left...
you had to shoulder this burden.
You never told me much about it.
So how was I supposed to know?
I'm telling you now.
My son.
Our ancestors committed such great sins...
such terrible deeds...
that we are still paying the price for those sins...
not only our family, but Sidhpur as well.
Your grandfather...
Veer Narayan Singh--
Father! Father!
Is anyone there!
Father! Help!
Father!
What happened, Father!
Someone bring water!
- What happened?
- Father...
Help! Someone help him!
Quick, go get some water!
- What happened?
- Father...
Your Excellency! Open your eyes!
What happened to him!
This was bound to happen.
No... no...
Your Excellency...
You can't leave like this, Your Excellency!
You can't leave me alone like this, Your Excellency!
'O cursed one, stay there forever...'
'Where men live who covet others' wealth...'
'Where husbands and wives often quarrel...'
'May that place be plagued with poverty forever...'
'May that place be plagued with poverty forever...'
O Mother Narmada...
O Mother Narmada...
I wish you would flow forever...
Flowing gently, like a stream of milk
descending from the sky.
O Mother Narmada...
O Mother Narmada,
for your sacred darshan...
The devotees of Bam Bam Bhole have come
to bathe in your holy waters on your banks.
O Mahadev Baba...
'Praise to the Lord Bairav, under whose feet King Indra lies.'
'Adorned with snakes, with the moon upon his head.'
'His garment is the sky, and he is praised by the wise.'
'Praise to the Lord Bairav, lord of the city of Kashi.'
Your father always wanted...
that Yatu and you...
to spend your lives helping the villagers.
Now that he's gone...
you must finish everything he started.
What did our ancestors do, Mother?
Your grandfather was the youngest of four brothers.
He realized very early on...
that all this wealth, all this gold...
was cursed.
He had seen his three brothers...
abusing this wealth
for greed and pleasure.
Without realizing it, he invited Tawi here.
This cursed wealth brought ruin to their families.
There is a secret corridor in our old mansion.
It leads to a room.
In the room, there is a safe.
That safe holds all the cursed wealth.
Your grandfather...
with the help of Father Shivanand...
sealed that door forever.
But Mother, where did this ancestral curse begin?
My beloved plants trees,
my beloved tends the garden...
tends the garden...
On the day Ram took her away,
Shyam was left alone.
No one can be called your own.
Bulbul says--
- Hey, uncle!
- Yes?
When will the next ceremony be held?
This is not the time for that.
Rokmani, stop it!
Wake up, Your Lordship!
It's ten in the morning!
Today is Lord Bayrao's birthday!
And I want you, me, and our child...
to go and receive Lord Bayrao's blessing!
Rokmani, you know...
I have nothing to do with anything religious.
But why?
God and I don't get along very well.
Who could possibly not get along with God?
Demons.
And I... I'm a demon!
Let me go.
Your Lordship, there's been a theft.
A theft from the grain storehouse!
Hurry up, Your Excellency.
The villagers caught the thief!
- Let him go!
- The young lord has arrived!
You dare to steal our grain?
Yatu...
Brother.
He was trying to steal our grain.
He got caught.
We have nothing left to eat, sir.
Ever since Your Excellency died...
No ceremony has been held for three months!
Where are we poor people supposed to go?
Shut up!
The grain that's given as alms...
And the life that's sustained by charity
is what has kept you alive.
If it weren't for us...
Yatu!
I think we should drive him out of the village.
- Yes, throw him out!
- Kick him out!
What could I have done, Your Excellency?
We're starving to death!
I haven't eaten anything in three days!
The grain that...
had been cut off for the past three months...
It will be distributed immediately.
-- Praise be to Lord Pramandra!
-- Praise be to Your Excellency!
Do you hear that?
Do you hear that?
They're still chanting praise to Lord Pramandra!
Praise be to Lord Pramandra! Praise--
You said you'd succeed your father?
Bastard.
I'll show you who will succeed my father!
What's the point of beating me?
Your kingdom is slipping away from you...
What a perfect coincidence...
Today, on the
anniversary of Lord Bairav...
Another Lord Bairav has been born.
Lord Bairav guarantees that...
all sinners will be punished...
and everyone will get their own justice.
My son needs treatment...
Hey! Let me go!
What are you doing?
Where are you taking this child? He's sick!
Let him go!
I said I'd take care of it myself, calm down!
Your Excellency, please help us!
This is a mistake, Your Excellency.
This is a mistake.
Your Excellency.
This isn't right, Your Excellency.
From today on, it's no longer free.
If you can't pay, get out!
Throw everyone out!
Go, get out!
Be careful.
No treatment will be free anymore.
Don't leave payment to anyone but the doctor.
I can't do anything without it, you have to pay me.
Doctor, it used to be free...
Yes, it used to be, but now you have to pay.
Your Excellency, I've done nothing wrong!
I have great respect for the late Your Excellency!
But I--
If you want, you can ask everyone
who was in the hospital!
Everyone who was there, please stand up.
Please don't be afraid. Tell me the truth.
...and they threw us out.
My son is sick...
...they beat us...
...what could we do, Your Excellency?
...that hospital was ours...
'...at his feet...'
'...King Indra lies...'
Hey, kid! You'll fall!
Come down!
Pramandra!
Take the juice of these flowers and give it to your child.
Pramandra.
'O cursed one...'
'...stay there forever...'
O cursed one, stay there forever
'O cursed one...'
The breath of every being is in your hands,
and the thread of life.
O Lord, you exist in every particle,
dwelling all around us.
The breath of every being is in your hands,
and the thread of life.
O Lord, you exist in every particle,
dwelling all around us.
You are another name for hope and faith.
O divine one, I bow before you.
Whoever whispers your name
receives only blessed grace, forever.
O Dwa... O Dwa...
O Dwa... O Dwa...
O Dwa... O Dwa...
O Dwa... O Dwa...
Seeing the joyful Sidpur
fills me with happiness.
But, Pramandra...
You must make sure that...
the people remain motivated like this.
To kill Dushan, Lord Mahakal
had to reveal himself...
in the city of Avantika.
Likewise, you will find the final solution
to this crisis...
in that city.
Without understanding your divine illusion,
we doubted you.
Who can truly know what is in your heart?
Even we never understood it.
In countless forms,
you descended to the earth
to guide mankind through life's struggles.
You have grown into a mighty tree, and your shade...
offers refuge and grace to all.
What we thought was a curse
has turned out to be a great blessing.
In the form of a sacred tree,
you have granted us your divine presence, O Lord.
O Dwa... O Dwa...
O Dwa... O Dwa...
O Dwa... O Dwa...
O Dwa... O Dwa...
(Singing) Let us pray to Lord Bairav!
'O cursed one...'
(Singing) Let us pray--
'O cursed one...'
(Singing) We shall pray to the Lord--
'O cursed one...'
'...stay there forever...'
'O cursed one,
stay there forever....'
- Let's go!
- Let's go!
'O cursed one...'
'O cursed one...'
'...stay there forever...'
Where's the money you took from the villagers?
Your Excellency...
This is all the money.
Give back all the money right away.
What's wrong, brother?
At least ask the hospital owner.
What are you saying, Yatu!
Have you lost your mind?
You know very well that the hospital isn't for us...
- It's for the villagers--
- I know.
I'm trying to correct his mistakes.
Listen.
I'm not a fool like my father.
Yatendra!
Using force suits me, not you.
And listen.
You've got a sick mind,
just like your father.
Learn to control it.
- Yato!
- What are you doing, Yato!
Yato, let him go!
What's wrong? Why are you doing this?
- Stop it!
- Hey!
Control your son, Adel.
Tell him not to act like my father.
Snap out of it, Yato!
It's as if you've been possessed!
I'm not possessed.
You are.
Don't pretend to be well-meaning.
Enough with this nonsense about
ancestral curses and that tree!
Now, whatever I say...
that's what will happen.
Now I want...
the property divided.
And...
I want you to listen carefully.
This time, I won't beg.
I'll get my share at any cost.
Come on, Rokmani.
Everything you've done until now...
I've put up with all of it.
But what you did today...
Do you think it was right?
You were never like this before.
You're losing yourself.
Silence.
Now you want to lecture me?
If I can run away with you...
I can send you away too.
- Hey, come here!
- All the grain inside!
Hurry up, bring more water!
- Hurry!
- More water!
Bring more water!
Your Excellency.
The grain was only brought in yesterday!
Now look what's happened!
Come on, hurry!
Please, let me help you.
How times have changed!
The same tree the villagers
used to be afraid of...
Now it's become a source of joy for them.
How selfish we humans are.
We only raise our hands in prayer when we want something.
But never to give thanks.
How did this happen?
I don't know, but...
We found pieces of a glass bottle
near the storehouse.
Someone clearly lit this fire.
What happened to your hand?
Veer Narayan Singh is back.
Mother...
Mother, where did this ancestral curse begin?
With your grandfather.
Veer Narayan Singh.
Let me go, I was praying!
You were praying?
Here you are.
Let me pray too.
Yatindra!
Yatindra, stop it!
Have you lost your mind?
You're tearing this family apart!
You're turning into a monster!
First the hospital, and now the storehouse.
I never thought you'd sink this low.
Tell Mother.
Where did you find this?
So you found the treasure?
Your greed has blinded you, Yatu!
I'm not greedy. You are!
You denied me my inheritance!
You hid my own wealth from me!
Has your greed made you so selfish
that you can't let go of the people's grain?
Our father's tradition, our grandfather's...
Do you want to destroy that tradition?
Enough!
I won't tolerate this.
I won't let you ruin their name.
It doesn't matter who I have to face.
It doesn't matter who?
You only have to face...
me.
You have to face me.
Don't do this, Yatu!
'...stay there forever...'
'Cursed one...'
...it's all cursed!
Enough!
All this wealth is mine.
I am the rightful owner!
Whatever I want, I'll take by force!
This could bring disaster, listen to me!
- Yatu!
- Mother!
Whoever I kill...
who stands in my way!
Yatu!
- Rukmani! Rukmani!
- Yatundra!
Rukmani! Rukmani!
Bring the car!

Pramandra, what happened?
Forget it.
How is Rukmani?
She's fine.
The baby's fine too.
But the doctor said...
that there's an infection.
This...
What's happening is not right.
It's not right at all.
I'm really scared.
But the priest said...
the troubles will ease.
The priest...
- Glory to Lord Shiva!
- Praise be to God!
This is the town where Lord Mahakal...
killed the demon Dushan.
But the demons of Kali Yuga are invisible.
They dwell in the minds of men...
and trap them in webs of illusion.
As a result, the demon Kali...
takes over human minds.
According to the scriptures, Tavi will dwell...
wherever the demon Kali prevails.
History is repeating itself, Pramandra.
Your grandfather,
Veer Narayan Singh...
was a cruel and merciless landlord.
He lent money to the poor at high interest...
and stole their lands.
The village was full of
fear and poverty.
He personally made sure...
that the villagers could not
repay their loans on time...
and were forced to hand over their lands to him.
...Please forgive us, this won't happen again.
Your Lordship, please--
His wicked eye fell on every woman in the village.
Sadly, no one in the village
could stand up to him.
Help me!
Save me!
Its demonic nature grew so strong...
that it didn't even spare the temple of Lord Bairav.
Every year, on the birthday of Lord Bairav...
the villagers would bring golden jewelry as offerings.
This monster didn't even let that custom continue.
Vir Narayan Singh gathered all the
stolen wealth, the gold and jewels...
into one enormous treasure chest.
For centuries, demons have
been trying to increase their power...
by deceiving the innocent through illusion...
which causes them to take on a demonic nature.
Your grandfather, Vir Narayan Singh...
summoned Tavi for her sins.
Tavi, who was born as Dakshata...
into a farmer's family in Sidpur.
And suddenly, poverty entered their lives.
Unfortunately, the farmer, Puran Lal...
became a gambler and an alcoholic.
Unlike him, his wife, Purti Devi...
was often worried about her family.
And she constantly prayed to
Lord Bairav on their behalf.
But the powers of poverty
were so strong...
that there was always
turmoil and fighting in their home.
All efforts to put an end
to this suffering were in vain.
It was then that they realized
Dakshata was not an ordinary girl.
And they came to my grandfather,
the priest Vimalanand...
with Dakshata's horoscope.
Alakshmi.
When the demigods and demons
churned the ocean of milk...
many gods were born from that churning.
One of them was Alakshmi.
She was the elder sister of the goddess Lakshmi.
Wherever Alakshmi goes...
sorrow, jealousy, resentment...
and suffering follow her.
It even causes fights within the family.
Unfortunately, your daughter was born...
Under the star of Alakshmi.
Respected master...
There must be a solution!
Don't worry.
During that same churning, after Alakshmi's birth...
Goddess Lakshmi was born too.
If, at the right time, under the right stars, you make an effort...
Then Lakshmi will be born to you as well.
But be careful...
Wherever Goddess Lakshmi is disrespected...
Alakshmi fills that place with rage and chaos.
Then you will find nothing but misery...
And poverty there.
And my grandfather's words were true.
Puran Lal and Purti gave birth to Akshata.
And after her birth...
Puran Lal's luck changed.
One day, he found a chest...
Full of gold jewelry, in his field.
That chest met all his needs.
But Puran Lal didn't realize...
When his desires outran his needs.
And when a person confuses desires
with needs...
No amount of wealth can ever satisfy him.
Praise be to Lord Bairav, under whose feet King Indra lies at rest.
Adorned with serpents, with the moon upon his head.
His garment is the sky, and he is praised by the wise.
Praise be to Lord Bairav, lord of the city of Kashi.
After receiving the blessing of
peace and prosperity...
Purti gave thanks to Lord Bairav with a vow...
That if anyone in her family died...
Their ashes would be offered at the prayer ceremony of ashes.
Akshata grew jealous of her new sister.
She began to see her sister as an enemy.
Glory to Lord Bairav, under whose feet King Indra lies at rest.
Adorned with serpents, with the moon upon his head.
Clothed in the sky, and praised by the wise--
Puran Lal's luck made him so powerful...
that he began gambling
at the same table with Veer Narayan Singh.
Then the day came...
when even Veer Narayan Singh
lost to Puran Lal.
Today I rule over everyone.
His victory was a bitter pill for Veer Narayan Singh.
Did we do the wrong thing, Your Excellency?
How wonderful!
New jewels?
Your Excellency...
Your Excellency?
Is that all?
Just this?
We have nothing else, Your Excellency.
Your Excellency, we found this.
If you find one, there must be more.
Your Excellency, we have nothing else.
Please forgive us.
Dakshata.
Look after Akshata.
What's going on?
Why are you beating him?
Let him go!
Your Excellency...
Please let him go.
He hasn't done anything.
We are your subjects, Your Excellency.
Please spare his life.
We have nothing, Your Excellency!
Go and bring the girl...
The one they say is the goddess Lakshmi.
Dakshata!
Grab Akshata and run!
Hey...
- Sit down.
- Your Excellency.
Now tell me.
Or your daughter...
will be killed.
Your Excellency, what should we do with this girl?
shine021
Let me go!
Respected master...
What's the solution to this?
A final ceremony.
And you must perform it.
Only that will calm Sidpur.
(Reciting prayers)
- Hey!
- What is he doing?
The root of the problem...
...this tree.
- No!
- Stop it!
- Please stop!
- It's going to destroy us!
Rukmani!
You'll be fine! You'll be fine!
Doctor!
- It's falling!
- It's collapsing!
- Run!
- Let's go!
Hurry!
Let's get out of here!
My life's thread was tied to you.
Your shadow was always above me.
You were my only courage.
But in the midst of the storm,
you left me behind...
In what confusion did you leave me?
Now I see no way forward.
It was you who gave me these eyes,
but wherever I look,
I only search for you.
Come to me, my remedy...
Where are you hiding?
I have no refuge but you.
Come to me, my remedy...
Where have you hidden yourself?
(frightened voices)
- Quarantine them!
- Bring the medicine!
- Help them!
- Is anyone here?
(frightened voices)
Your Eminence...
Please, come with me.
Look, because of this child...
All of this...
- Will someone help?
- Help us!
What kind of epidemic is this, Your Eminence?
- Your Eminence!
- Please help us!
Mother! Where is Mother?
Your Eminence, Sonu...
'Praise to Lord Bairao, beneath whose feet
King Indra lies.'
'Adorned with serpents,
with the moon upon his head.'
A final ceremony.
And you have to perform it.
Only that will bring peace to Sidpur.
You must complete
Porti's unfinished vow.
Lord Shiva must be drowned in their ashes!

Those who walk the path of hard deeds,

These tears have turned to flame,
now open your third eye.
