Jodha Akbar

"Jodha, what are you doing here?"

"I am here to see you."

"But, you are looking at yourself in the mirror."

"Where are you going?"

"See? It's morning."

"People will come to see our shrine."

"People will come here and remember our love."

"Somebody will tell the tale of our love..."

"...and somebody will hear it."

"400 years have passed by."

"So many things have changed, during this time."

"The way of living life has changed."

"But, Jodha and Akbar's love story hasn't changed."

"The sun which is witness to this tale remains the same."

"Even after 400 years, people still talk about our love."

"What actually happened...

...is something only you and I know."

"When I was just Jalal...

...who recognised only one thing."

"He understood only one thing and would only shed that."

"That was blood."

Attack!

"This story begins, when a 15 year old lad's sword...

...emerged out of the sheath."

"His sword tasted blood."

"He learnt to fight."

One chance. Life or death.

Life.

I give you that as charity.

You aimed at the wrong target.

Jalal has no heart.

Warriors who do have a heart...

...don't win, nor do they live.

There is only death. A humiliating one, at that.

Behead him. Take his severed head to his king.

Tell him to look into his eyes.

His right eye will reflect the sheer terror of Jalal...

...and the other eye will reflect the helplessness of his king.

It's futile to challenge Jalal. It means certain death.

Do tell him...

...this is Jalal's gift. This is the terror Jalal spreads!

-Hail Jalaluddin Akbar! -Hail!

-Hail Jalaluddin Akbar! -Hail!

-Hail Jalaluddin Akbar! -Hail!

"India was filled with terror at the mention of Jalal's name."

"Bairam Khan transformed a 15 year old boy into...

...a heartless warrior."

You are a warrior, Jalal.

It is your sacred duty to win.

This sword is your servant.

Your love is your kingdom.

You will be famed for ruthlessness and the fear it creates.

Conquer this country...

...and change the map of this land called Hindustan.

"Jalal's sword attacked on Bairam Khan's behest."

"Jalal implemented Bairam Khan's mentality."

"It was Bairam Khan who taught Jalal that,

a warrior has no heart."

"Bairam Khan was a father figure...

...who tutored Jalal in the reign of terror."

"Unaware of all this, Jalal was following his lead."

"He was conquering every part of India."

"His commander-in-chief, Bairam Khan,"

became his well wisher and companion,

"while controlling Jalal's mind."

Khan Baba, what is this?

I'll celebrate your victory with my blood.

No, Khan Baba.

Your blood is precious to the Mughal empire.

I won't let you shed it for a small victory.

"Jalal was dreaming of conquering all over India."

"Bairam Khan's teachings had filled him so much poison..."

...that he certainly became a king...

"...but, he was ruthless and brutal."

"He didn't value human beings."

"Jalal was now known as 'Jallad' (executioner)."

"As the time passed, Jalal's cruelty increased."

"He was heading to his goal with ease."

"Thus he became, King Jalaluddin Mohammed."

"Jalal became a familiar name."

"Stories were told about Jalal."

"The man who loved keeping elephants, grew stronger daily."

"On the other hand, the country was in chaos."

"In the west, internal conflicts...

...caused a crack in the unity of the Rajputs."

"While the sun was rising, on the other hand...

...it was evening."

"Suggestions were turning into arguments."

"The arguments were ending with threats of violence."

"There were questions asked in response to questions."

"The brave Rajputs who were dealing with conflicts...

...decided to fight."

"But, these Rajputs who were scared..."

...didn't know that they had a weapon in their arsenal...

"...which could pierce Akbar's heart."

"That weapon was Jodha."

"Jodha was like a poem written on the desert sands of...

...Amer."

"Some people knew her as Harkabai...

...and some knew her as a Kachwaha princess."

"In our story, we will refer to her as Jodha."

"While there was ruthlessness and the sharpness of the sword...

...there was also kind heartedness and the glow of love."

-Jodha, where are you running to? -Stop, Jodha.

-Stop, Jodha. -Stop!

Stop, Jodha.

Sister, stop.

Where are you running off to?

-Stop, Jodha. -Sister.

Stop, Jodha.

-Stop, Jodha. -Sister, stop.

-Stop, Jodha. -Sister, stop.

Sister, stop.

Jodha, where are you running off to?

Jodha!

Jodha!

-Jodha, stop! -Sister!

Wait, Jodha.

Sister, stop!

Where are you running off to?

-Jodha, stop! -Sister!

Jodha, stop!

Somebody close the gates!

Jodha!

Girl, don't go.

-Stop, Jodha! -Jodha.

Jodha, what have you done?

Don't you know that no girl has stepped out of the palace...

...without our permission?

You shouldn't step out of the palace, like this.

You came in front of so many men without wearing your veil.

It won't be right if...

...King Bharmal's daughter stood by silently as someone died.

Jodha, don't forget that you are a Rajput warrior's daughter.

Doesn't a warrior have a heart?

No! He doesn't think for a moment before killing his enemy.

Why do you kill your enemy?

-Because, I want to save Amer. -Why?

Because, I love Amer.

But father, only those who have a heart can love.

Now, don't say that a warrior doesn't have a heart.

Mother has taught me that the king who rules over the land...

...is reduced to the dust, one day.

The king who rules over hearts...

...will be alive for ages, father.

There goes your anger!

Mother! Mother!

What has happened, now?

See?

See what your darling daughter has done.

What did she do?

I chose the jewellery and she is wearing them.

I didn't know that Sukanya had chosen this jewellery.

I'll take it off, at once.

No! I don't want to wear the jewellery you've cast off.

Sukanya, it was kept with the clothes...

...so, I thought it was for me.

Today is her birthday.

Let her wear them.

Mother, you always do that.

She is older, so all the nice things go to her.

Just because I'm younger...

Not only younger, you are an outsider, too.

Sukanya, actually the fact is we found you...

...on the steps of the temple.

So, there is bound to be some difference between...

...being treated as someone younger and a rank outsider.

What do you say, mother?

Mother, did you see that? You always support her.

I won't listen to you, hereafter.

OK, OK.

I'll make better jewellery for you. Enough?

If you are done with your fight, then get ready and come down.

It is time for the ceremony.

I'll pray to the goddess that after this ceremony...

...you should get married off. That's it!

Right back at you!

Your husband will not be a warrior.

In fact, he will be fat! Fat, as a cauliflower.

Your husband will be thinner than vermicelli.

I wish, that Mughal army would abduct you.

Sukanya, don't ever say that again!

I will surely say that. Stop throwing your weight around!

Jodha, why didn't you wear the clothes that I gave you?

Because, Sukanya didn't like them.

Sukanya, why do you trouble Jodha?

Mother, let it be. My sister and I will handle it.

Come along.

Our darling daughter.

I just want the gold donation to take place.

Mainavati, I am feeling very scared...

...since, I heard that she is coming here.

Mainavati, who is expected?

Shagunibai.

Isn't she the same woman whose predicts the future?

Yes, she is the one.

By the way, who invited her here?

She doesn't go anywhere at anybody's invitation.

She doesn't stop either, when refused.

She says, she has read Jodha's future...
