Raja Shivaji (2026)

[bunniefuu]

No, Jijau.

You need not do that.

Bless the unborn, O Goddess Jagadamba!

Mother

Is Abasaheb home?

He's going to the court of the Nizam

and will meet you once he returns.

Lakhuji Raje!

The court of Nizam admires

your honor and glory.

Since the time

you've joined the Nizamshahi,

brave warriors have either bowed before it

or sought refuge under its protection.

Glory be to Allah!

The courage displayed by you

and your sons is remarkable.

You are honored with

a royal rank, elevated status,

and new lands.

Please accept.

Congratulations to you!

Salutations to Lord Shiva!

Salutations to Lord Shiva!

Salutations to Lord Shiva!

Abasaheb!

Hey!

When you were our foe,

your strength was a nightmare.

Now that you're a friend,

the thought of you joining the enemy

is even more terrifying.

I wish neither to live in fear

nor suffer under your wrath.

Salutations to Lord Shiva

The backstabbing nature of your ilk!

The day the Marathas awaken to this truth

will mark the beginning of your end!

Dawn of the Marathas!

Shall we proceed?

Proceed where?

More attacks will follow.

More blood will be spilled.

More of our people will be massacred,

and their corpses will be

brought back here.

Then why proceed?

It's better to wait here

on the burning ghats.

I'll certainly seek

an explanation from the Nizam.

Raje, we are subjects of the Nizam.

The subjugated have no right

to question their rulers.

For those who serve,

dawn and dusk are all the same.

For the sake of self-respect,

I have often thought of

sacrificing everything

and rising in rebellion.

But the time is not right, Jija.

Waiting for the right time

has resulted in burning pyres in villages.

Tomorrow, villages will be

reduced to ashes!

Turmoil, havoc, and chaos everywhere.

Great destruction is at work, God.

The abode of yours stands devastated.

How much more suffering must we endure?

O Lord!

Mahadeva!

Answer our anguished hearts, our prayers.

Arise and protect your own abode.

O Lord!

Mahadeva!

Answer our anguished hearts, our prayers.

Arise and protect your own abode.

Death to Pune! Death to Pune!

Pune is dead!

This punishment is imposed

due to Shahaji Raje Bhosale's

rebellion against the Adilshahi!

Henceforth, the provinces of Pune and Supe

shall remain under the Adilshahi rule.

By order, a donkey-drawn plough will be

driven across the unholy lands of Pune.

Pune is hereby declared an unholy land.

Settling and agricultural activities

are forbidden hereafter.

Festivals and celebrations

are declared unlawful.

Pune is dead!

Salutations to Lord Shiva!

Salutations to Lord Shiva!

Salutations to Lord Shiva!

Pune is dead!

Death to Pune! Death to Pune!

Pune is dead!

Can you see the destruction?

Or shall I show it to you?

This is my grandson.

This was once his paradise.

There was a beautiful courtyard here.

This is my son

And this is my daughter-in-law.

I once called this place my home.

And this village, my family.

The village had a temple of yours.

But today, I've realized

even you couldn't help us!

We ran to you,

trusting you to protect our lives.

But even you were not safe here!

Oh, Mahadeva!

Can you not see our anguish?

Can you not hear

our desperate prayers?

Our fate is in your hands.

Can you not answer our desperate plea?

Oh, Mahadeva!

My God!

How much more bloodshed

do you want to see?

How much more destruction

do you want to see?

Raje

Either come to protect us,

or destroy us completely!

Either declare you can't protect us,

or prove your existence once and for all!

Oh, Lord! Oh, Mahadeva!

Raje

Shambhu Raje!

What is the name of our beloved prince?

Shivaji!

- All hail Goddess Shivai!

- Victory to the Mother Goddess!

Raje

Raje

Raje

Where is brother Shambhu?

Brother!

Brother, what are you looking at?

Those flags.

Brother, whose flag is that?

The Mughals'.

And the other one?

That is the Adilshahi flag.

And this one is ours, right?

No. This one belongs to the Nizamshahi.

Where is our flag?

We don't have a flag.

All of them sought Abasaheb's alliance

whenever it suited them.

Abasaheb first allied with the Mughals,

then with the Adilshahi,

and now he's with the Nizams.

Shivba

Whoever commands the flag rules the land.

Then why don't we command our own flag?

Swarajya is a prerequisite

for having your own flag.

And what is the prerequisite for Swarajya?

It's been two years.

My grand dream of Taj

Is waiting in hope.

Will my legacy remain an unfinished story?

May the Emperor remain safe and sound.

Your dream will come true, and your

legacy will stand at its pinnacle.

Six months have passed since

the siege of Mahuli Fort.

The Nizamshahi has no way forward.

Shahaji has neither the courage to rebel

nor the ability to negotiate.

The Nizamshahi is finished.

The Nizamshahi would have fallen long ago,

were it not for that wretched Shahaji.

Along with the Nizamshahi,

Shahaji must also be eliminated.

If prayers alone could solve a crisis,

we would never have been

in this situation.

The courageous men I assembled

were lost to famine.

I mustered a courageous rebellion,

but got discouraged

by the betrayal of my own people.

A secret conspiracy to seize control of

the Nizamshahi was hatched behind my back,

and now I stand besieged!

The eclipse is overtaking the sun, Jija.

Your Majesty! Adil Shah in the Deccan

and the Mughals in the North.

Between them lies the dying Nizamshahi.

Once the Nizamshahi is wiped out,

nothing will stand between

the Adilshahi and the Mughals.

The Adilshahi is incapable of withstanding

the wrath of the Mughal armies.

The Mughal army is a python,

swallowing everything in its path.

The Mughals could never threaten us,

due to the presence of a fierce warrior

in the Nizamshahi.

Shahaji Raje Bhosale!

We should secure his alliance before

the Mughals do, my King!

I approve!

I do not approve!

I refuse to become a vassal of Adil Shah.

I approve!

Shahaji must be treated as

the designated heir, not as a vassal.

Approved!

But our ancestral land,

Pune, must be returned.

Approved!

Send a message to Emperor Shah Jahan

that Shahaji Bhosale intends

to serve the Adilshahi.

I will never approve of this.

The Nizamshahi has been weakened

by both of us.

Now Adil Shah wishes

to enjoy the hunt alone.

Send him a message.

Both the Nizamshahi

and Shahaji will be destroyed.

Offer 50,000 gold coins

to Emperor Shah Jahan,

on the condition that

Shahaji Raje remains our ally.

Not 50,000.

Demand 100,000 gold coins.

Adil Shah can have Shahaji as his ally

But Shahaji won't get Pune.

No compromise on Pune!

I accept the demand of 100,000 gold coins,

provided Shahaji keeps Pune

and his allegiance to us.

Demand 500,000 gold coins.

Shahaji can have Pune,

but he cannot reside there.

Five lakh gold coins?

I approve 500,000 gold coins!

The Marathas can be dealt with later.

The completion of the Taj

is of utmost priority.

It's better to keep Shahaji

away from the Sahyadris.

Glory be to Allah!

The world may forget, but I know

That the fourth pillar of Shah Jahan's

wife's tomb

was contributed by His Majesty.

Don't worry, my dear.

I will build one for you as well.

Brother, what's the matter?

The Nizamshahi rule has ended.

Ripped apart by the Mughals and Adil Shah.

Does that mean we are independent now?

Not really.

Abasaheb has forged a new alliance

with the Adilshahi.

Brother, are we going to Pune?

- We are heading to Bangalore.

- Why?

It is a pact between Abasaheb and Delhi.

Does that mean Abasaheb is defeated?

Mother, are you crying?

No, dear. Nothing like that.

Are you missing home?

I miss home too,

but I don't feel like crying.

Only a woman can understand this pain.

Every woman has to leave

her home once in her life.

Twice in my case.

You'll know, my dear.

You'll understand once you grow up.

Raje

Shivba!

Did you get hurt?

This is not right.

This wrestling is not fair.

My brother-in-law is much older

than my husband.

Sai

Training against a stronger opponent

breeds a fiercer warrior.

Sai, elders need to be respected too.

Oh, is it?

Brother

Did you get hurt?

Shambhu, a lack of vigilance

is how a winning battle is lost.

I have got a message for Shahaji.

Mind how you speak!

It's Shahaji Raje!

A little more audacity could've ended with

your tongue on my spear!

Such pride at such a young age.

Were this a b*ttlefield,

I would have answered in kind.

- So be it! Consider this a b*ttlefield!

- Shambhu Raje!

Shahaji

Raje.

You've got a message from Bijapur.

This feels less like a message

and more like an as*ault.

We are just followers

of the Emperor's order, Shahaji Raje.

You are ordered to leave Bangalore.

And the court of Adil Shah

is waiting for you.

I will send my response.

- You may leave now.

- You are not getting it, Raje.

This fort

This estate

Is no more under your control.

I am here to take you with me.

You have been summoned

by the court of Bijapur.

The order may be from Adil Shah,

but the words belong to another.

Who has been granted my estate?

Commander Afzal Khan Mohammad Shahi!

Rajaji

I had sent you a message.

And what was your response?

"I am a king,

and I shall negotiate

only with the royal throne,

"not its servant."

You and your arrogance!

I am willing to negotiate.

One kneels to beg for mercy,

not for negotiation.

Do you like elephants?

Please have mercy on my father.

Do you like elephants?

No. I like lions.

Why?

A lion is the king of the jungle.

It's not afraid of anyone.

Wrong.

A lion fears an elephant

because the elephant knows its strength,

while the lion knows its limitations.

That is why a lion

changes its course in submission

when confronted by an elephant.

I beg you to have mercy on my father.

Your father could not save his fiefdom.

Let me see if you can save your father.

Before my elephant reaches yours,

if you can reach your father,

I shall spare all of you.

Run!

Father, we survived.

A lion rules the jungle

until an elephant declares itself king.

Note it down!

If a situation arises

with Afzal on one side

and all the brave hearts on the other,

and the Almighty is asked

who will conquer,

the universe will resonate

Afzal

Afzal

Afzal!

Forgive me, Jija,

for making you go through

this situation again.

Rush to Pune at the earliest.

Our hard-earned estate

has been snatched from us.

Let's at least retain the rightful land.

I'm tired, Raje.

Generations have wasted their lives

under the burden of foreigners.

The next generation

must be its own master.

I have decided that once I reach Pune,

I will train both our sons

to fight for their rights.

Not both.

Shambhu

Will stay with me.

But, Raje

I am sending a successor to Pune,

and Adil Shah must not be given that idea.

It is best to keep.

Shivba and Pune as far from

Adil Shah's sight as possible.

And when shall we meet again?

Never leave your father alone.

Master the fuel of rage.

Do not let it burn you.

And it is your responsibility

to pacify Shivba.

Brother, why can't we all stay together?

Shivba

Sometimes a sacrifice of one generation

creates a legacy for the family.

- And...

- I don't understand this!

Promise me you will

come to Pune at the earliest.

Promise me!

I promise.

I will come to Pune.

Raje, we have arrived in Pune.

Hey, old lady.

The King is here.

Look who is back!

The King!

Everything of mine has been destroyed.

The temple has been vandalized.

Is the King aware of it?

Daughters, women, children, and men

all were disgraced by evil men.

Is the King aware of it?

Someone, somewhere, gave the order

And this land was desecrated

by a donkey-drawn plough.

Is the King aware of it?

This Dussehra,

good did not triumph over evil.

Instead, evil reduced

the village to ashes!

Is the King aware of it?

The one who gives me back my life

is my King.

He who protects the dignity of women

is my King.

He who restores the sanctity

of the village is my King.

He is not my King!

An aspiring light of hope has emerged.

Answering the agonizing call

Of the Sahyadris.

The divine light of beloved Shivaji

Has emerged.

He sanctified this sacred land with

A golden plough to ignite a new beginning.

A courageous beginning blessed by Shakti!

History stands still to witness.

The beginning of a golden era.

On this auspicious day

Let it be known to the skies.

The thunderous roar of beloved Shivaji.

Hear the ballad of Shivaji's valor

O people!

A fierce sun rises

Ending thousand years of darkness.

Rudra's avatar stands

The destroyer of injustice.

Hail Shivrai!

When he wields his fierce sword

Roaring, "Hail Mahadeva".

Unleashing his valor

The enemy runs for life.

Hail Shivrai!

He has set the enemies' camps on fire.

Causing mayhem.

To the invading sultanates

He raised a Hindavi challenge.

Listen, O people!

The sacred dawn broke.

Beholder of good fortune

Vowed for Swarajya!

Listen, O people!

The warrior blood poured

As an offer to Rudra!

Listen, O people!

Drum beats echoed

A thumping victory of Torna.

The fort resonated with

The roar of victory.

Listen, O people!

FORT TORNA

FORT KONDHANA

FORT RAJGAD

Jijau Saheb, my daughter Tulsa

was returning from the riverfront.

This man, Babaji Patil,

from Ranjha village molested her!

Forced himself on her.

She committed suicide out of shame!

I didn't m*rder her, mind you!

That means you admit to violating her.

Who the hell are you to ask?

Patil!

You are all subjects of Adil Shah,

and so am I.

I have done nothing different

from what Adil Shah's men do.

Lady Bhosale

Call this off.

Call this off right now.

Call off these theatrics.

Call this...

This is not Adil Shah's court.

This is Queen Mother Jijau's

seat of justice.

Patil!

Let it be known that whoever violates

the dignity of women in Swarajya

shall face the sword of Shivaji.

The enemy trembles at his thunderous kick.

Hail Shivrai!

Cut off his legs

and display him at the crossroads!

Today, it's limbs.

Tomorrow, heads will be severed.

The rebellion of Shahaji's sons,

Shambhu and Shivaji,

is becoming intolerable, Your Majesty!

Both are causing great trouble.

We need to act against them, Your Majesty.

When a bird settles for safety,

it surrenders the sky.

Krushnaji Baji is entrusted as

the Chandrarao of the Jawali estate.

The Jawali seat will

forever remain grateful to Swarajya

Shivba Raje!

Father!

A new Chandrarao

has been designated in Jawali.

Is it really necessary

to bring up this minor issue now?

It's not as simple as you think, Father.

This time, Shahaji's son Shivaji

has appointed the Chandrarao.

Shahaji's son appears

equally eager to revolt!

Even though they have inherited

a rebellious nature

Failure is written in their destiny.

Shahaji's sons have come of age.

Look who is here.

Causing the mayhem

He is Shambhu!

The fearless, Rudra's avatar.

All hail Shambhu!

Shambhu!

When will your habitual interference

in state affairs end?

I've heard Adil Shah

aspires to conquer the world.

When did Bijapur's politics descend

to the level of children's play?

Along with your body,

your ego has also grown.

But your wisdom does not match your age.

Don't forget, just like me,

you are also subservient to Adil Shah.

Subservience is your nature.

Shambhu!

Bhosales are rulers!

And under our rule,

everyone is free to practice

their own Dharma.

A ludicrous weapon,

yet the attitude of a warrior?

Protecting Dharma with a bamboo stick?

Look who is here.

Causing the mayhem

He is Shambhu!

The fearless, Rudra's avatar.

All hail Shambhu!

Shambhu himself is a lethal weapon

in the protection of Dharma.

Shambhu!

Be thankful it's a bamboo stick

in my hand,

not a sword!

Disobedience will be considered

a revolt against the Adilshahi.

Remember, the rebel has a name.

Sambhaji Shahaji Raje Bhosale.

Shambhu!

- May the Emperor of Bijapur

- Live long!

- May the Emperor of Bijapur

- Live long!

- May the Emperor of Bijapur

- Live long!

Wait!

His Majesty's health is in decline.

Announce only news that brings relief.

The news pertains to Siva from the Deccan.

How can there be any bad news

about Siva?

Announce it.

Along with Kondhana Fort,

Siva has captured Purandar Fort

as well, Your Majesty.

His Majesty has himself declared

that the kid is still naive.

Just ignore him.

Then the naive kid captured more forts,

along with Purandar Fort.

The Jawali seat, which had

obeyed Bijapur's decree to date,

was candidly assigned

its own Chandrarao by Siva.

Well, doesn't matter.

How can we expect intellect

from a naive kid?

Siva in the Deccan and Shambhu in

the South are uniting the Hindu rulers.

But never mind.

His Majesty is more concerned about

innocent birds than the naive rebels.

Even the birds must be feeling

what an incredible pet king we have!

Neither does he soar,

nor does he let us take flight.

Fariyad Khan! Drag Shambhu

to this court right now!

Muse Khan, Fateh Khan!

Go and eliminate Siva

and all signs of his Swarajya!

- Go!

- Yes, Your Majesty.

Right now!

Raje

Victory is ours!

Raje

Attack!

Raje

- Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Shivaji!

- Glory to Shivaji!

- Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Shivaji!

- Glory to Shivaji!

- Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Shivaji!

- Glory to Shivaji!

Then why don't we command our own flag?

Swarajya is a prerequisite

for having your own flag.

And what is the prerequisite for Swarajya?

Rebellion.

Raje

Raje

Henceforth, our land

will hoist only our flag!

We have not just unfurled the saffron

flag, but ignited a revolution!

Let it be known to the arrogant tyrants.

The Marathas have ceased

to bow down to foreigners!

This revolution is for my motherland!

This revolution is for

command over our own flag!

This revolution is for self-respect!

And this revolution is for Swarajya!

- Glory be to

- Lord Mahadeva!

- Glory be to

- Lord Mahadeva!

Raje is here!

On this beautiful occasion of a wedding

Graced by kin and kith.

Beautifully adorned groom has arrived

To tie the sacred knot.

Gentle, nervous, and blushing bride.

She has arrived, beautifully adorned

Courteous and shy.

Naive, virtuous, expressive eyes.

Longing to take a glimpse.

The moment has arrived.

My life is graced by your presence.

As Goddess Laxmi

She has arrived at this golden moment.

Such a fortunate and auspicious moment.

Sai, being a Kshatriya's

life partner is not easy.

Being in the company of the Bhosales

is like walking on the edge of a sword.

I'm aware.

Please proceed with the vows.

Walking on the edge of a sword

is no challenge for me.

I am blessed.

With a bond of seven lives.

My life is graced.

With a beautiful Paarijaat flower.

I am blessed.

With a bond of seven lives.

My life is graced.

With a beautiful Paarijaat flower.

I am blessed.

With a bond of seven lives.

What did you pray for?

It must not be revealed.

Turmeric for the wounds.

I don't even have a minor scratch.

Let me see!

Here, and here, and over here.

There will always be traces of soil

on a farmer's body.

Doesn't it burn?

Your scolding burns more.

No way! Enough joking!

Sai!

Isn't it a lucky day

to receive Paarijaat flowers?

I am so blessed.

Don't they belong to you?

The Paarijaat may belong to a courtyard,

but it blooms across the neighborhood.

I may belong to you,

but my destiny is with Swarajya.

Hey

How did you get injured?

Didn't notice it in the hustle.

Where's the turmeric?

Are you aware of it, dear?

People are celebrating your valor

all over Swarajya.

Salutations to Mahadeva.

Shivaji, the incarnation of Mahadev

Has risen on the Sahyadris.

Fierce warriors with iron fists

Have unleashed lethal swords.

And blazing spears.

O valiant beam of light

Beacon of bravery.

You ended the age of darkness.

O pillar of Ram Rajya

Founder of Hindavi Swarajya.

You are the one adored.

You eliminated the unrighteous evils.

Challenged the invaders.

O progenitor of new era.

Lead us to unity

And guide us to achieve your vision.

The one and only one, zenith of valor

O Chhatrapati.

O epitome of bravery, virtuous

Upholder of Dharma, O Chhatrapati.

O pride of Marathas.

O tiger of Mother Goddess Bhavani.

O legend of legends, righteous

Guardian of principles, O Chhatrapati.

O fierce warrior

Crown jewel of Kshatriyas, O Chhatrapati.

O pride of Marathas.

O tiger of Mother Goddess Bhavani.

You vowed to protect

The gods, nation, Dharma.

And sacred duties with your blood.

You are the torchbearer

To end the age of darkness.

With clasped palms

You bow to the saints, sages, and monks.

Severed the limbs of traitors.

Who looked down upon the Swarajya.

Shattering the chains of caste.

Guarding the common good

You rose as our savior.

The world has known a thousand kings.

But my heart bows to the one alone

Chhatrapati Shivrai.

Bestow your grace upon us

Grant us strength to guard.

The soul to die for you

O Chhatrapati.

The one and only one, zenith of valor

O Chhatrapati.

O epitome of bravery, virtuous

Upholder of Dharma, O Chhatrapati.

O pride of Marathas.

O tiger of Mother Goddess Bhavani.

O legend of legends, righteous

Guardian of principles, O Chhatrapati.

O fierce warrior

Crown jewel of Kshatriyas, O Chhatrapati.

O pride of Marathas.

O tiger of Mother Goddess Bhavani.

From the heart of Maval.

Devotees and locals alike came.

Seeking a glimpse of the divine.

The mere sight of him

Is ultimate contentment.

I'm blessed to worship my King Shivaji.

The premise garlanded.

Adorned and illuminated

To celebrate this auspicious day.

The euphoric moment of Shivba's sight.

Has filled my heart with blissful tears.

To bow in worship.

And prostration at this divine moment

Is a blissful fortune.

To raise the revered saffron high

And to paint the skies with its glory.

Grant us a life of your devotion.

A death of valor in your honor.

The one and only one, zenith of valor

O Chhatrapati.

O epitome of bravery, virtuous

Upholder of Dharma, O Chhatrapati.

O pride of Marathas.

O tiger of Mother Goddess Bhavani.

O legend of legends, righteous

Guardian of principles, O Chhatrapati.

O fierce warrior

Crown jewel of Kshatriyas, O Chhatrapati.

O pride of Marathas.

O tiger of Mother Goddess Bhavani.

Your Majesty, our forces couldn't

hold their ground against Siva.

Muse Khan has also been k*lled.

What about Shambhu?

Your Majesty!

Shambhu wasn't flaunting

the bamboo stick this time.

What was he wielding?

Look who is here.

Causing the mayhem

He is Shambhu!

The fearless, Rudra's avatar.

All hail Shambhu!

Shambhu!

Shambhu!

Shambhu!

Look who is here.

Causing the mayhem

He is Shambhu!

The fearless, Rudra's avatar.

All hail Shambhu!

Shambhu!

Shambhu!

Shambhu!

Dogs have been sent to hunt the tiger!

Shahaji's sons have

traumatized Bijapur's armies.

His Majesty's grandeur has doubled.

The smile on his face is obvious.

My love!

Those who refuse to wear anklets

end up chaining their own feet.

All that matters

is the sound of the bells.

Taming a wild elephant is

mere child's play for you.

Your Majesty, the Adilshahi

possesses only one elephant.

Afzal!

Of course!

Shahaji Raje Bhosale

Hope you had a safe journey.

The Adilshahi's famed hospitality

is nothing new to me.

The Mughals, the Nizams,

and the Adilshahi

have long held a disgraceful habit

of dishonoring the loyal.

The progenitor of rebels

now speaks of loyalty.

Shahaji Raje, commander

of the Adilshahi Empire

Tell me.

What have you done

to crush the rebels of the empire?

I tried to dissuade them

in every possible way.

But needless to say

Princes these days

hardly heed their fathers.

You are very well aware

of the consequences of disobedience.

I hope you will accept

the punishment as well.

I have heard that

the Adilshahi armies were sent

to stop Shambhu and Shivaji.

I have received no further details

about it to date.

My loyalty to the Adilshahi

still stands firm.

Imprison this puppet of loyalty!

Mother, will Abasaheb be released?

Where is Shivba?

Shivba!

Brother Shambhu!

You carry Abasaheb's persona within you.

They have set a condition

to return Fort Kondhana.

We don't need to agree to anything.

If you receive any message,

maintain the same response.

How are we supposed to free Abasaheb?

By striking Bijapur with lightning speed,

storming the prison,

and securing his release.

It's not that easy.

One mistake, and we are doomed.

I know the Adilshahi playbook inside out.

Every passing day in confinement

is a threat to Abasaheb's life.

Give me some time to think over it.

Shivba

We are running short of time.

How is Ausaheb?

She thinks of you all the time.

And what about you?

How have you been, Shivba?

Do you remember your promise?

I am coming to Pune.

Tell Ausaheb that

I long to be fed by her once again.

Be prepared to march towards Bijapur!

Yes, my King.

Send a message to Emperor Shah Jahan

through Prince Murad Baksh.

Yes, my King!

Father, the Marathas have sent

a plea for support.

Perhaps Adil Shah has succeeded

in suppressing the rebellion.

c*ptive Shahaji has neither

lost his self-respect

nor the fierce pride in his eyes.

Pardon my audacity, my Queen,

but showing mercy to a traitor

is an invitation to future betrayal.

Afzal, the jungle follows only one rule.

k*ll the prey at first sight.

Emperor Shah Jahan

has yet to respond, my King.

Brother Shambhu won't wait any longer.

Shambhu!

Shahaji Raje is being held

in the northern underground prison.

My King! Shahaji Raje is being

escorted into the royal court.

Adil Shah intended to counter us

with the help of Shahaji.

With the aid of Siva,

we will now destroy Adil Shah.

"Shivaji Raje Bhosale is a close

confidant of the Mughal Empire."

Emperor Shah Jahan decrees that

the well-being of his father,

Shahaji Raje Bhosale, who remains

in your captivity, must be ensured.

Any harm done to him

would be considered a direct

challenge to the Mughal Empire.

"Wise judgment shall decide

our next response."

You are extremely fortunate.

When Shah Jahan wanted to k*ll you,

Adil Shah saved your life.

Now that the Adilshahi

poses a threat to your life,

Shah Jahan is asking for your well-being.

Abasaheb.

Shambhu Raje!

Kudos to the Bhosales' spies!

Shahaji Raje is yet to be released,

and Shambhu has already

arrived to receive him.

His release was inevitable today.

Be grateful the reason is you, not me.

You have nurtured arrogance

within your sons.

But we possess the means

to tame arrogance.

Shahaji Raje Bhosale

You shall be released,

but under one condition.

Fort Kondhana is yours.

Shivba will hand it over.

Shahaji, your reputation as

a master strategist is well-renowned.

Earlier, you captured my territories.

And now, you are hijacking my words too?

Very well.

You've guessed the first condition.

The second condition is my prerogative.

Shambhu Raje, from today onward,

you will serve the Adilshahi.

And you will serve under

Afzal Khan's command.

Agreed.

Shambhu

That was hasty.

No father should endure confinement

for so many days.

I guess I arrived late, Abasaheb.

The Emperor of Bijapur has always

had respect for your stature, Shambhu.

But ultimately,

he placed you under my servitude.

The emperor may have

doubts about your capability.

That is the reason

for appointing a Maratha.

Shambhu Raje, I'll lead the attack.

Aapa Khan may attempt

to escape from the other side.

Until then, hold on to this position.

Commander, I will lead the attack.

You hold on to this position.

Must you be stubborn every single time?

If victory is a necessity,

stubbornness is a prerequisite.

This campaign is under my command.

Obey the order of command.

An order is a king's privilege.

Sadly, you are not a king.

Despite your prayers

and my unrelenting efforts,

why is the ultimate goal eluding us, Baba?

Tell me, what falls short here?

Your prayers or my efforts?

You are a mere sl*ve

of the King's order, Afzal.

Destiny favors only those

who follow their own command.

Shambhu!

A mere title does not make one

a true King.

The Marathas are destined either to die

Or live in sl*very.

The day the Marathas conquer,

a true King shall rise.

No matter how many battles you win,

you are still destined to remain a sl*ve.

Brother Shambhu!

Brother Shambhu!

I couldn't keep the promise

of coming to Pune, Shivba.

My heart is torn apart!

You are the only savior, O Jagadamba!

My heart is torn apart!

You are the only savior, O Jagadamba!

Leaving my life a drift in darkness.

He has gone never to return.

My brother, Sambha.

My brother, Sambha.

Little Shivba was graced.

By mother's warmth.

Separation was in fate.

He was in a far away lands.

My brother, Sambha.

My brother, Sambha.

My heart and soul was in far away lands.

And my eyes were longing for him.

I was yearning for his glimpse since long.

My Sambha.

Beloved brother of Shivba.

And a piece of my heart.

My beloved prince.

My beloved, King Sambha.

Hold him close to your heart.

Feed him with your love.

Shower him with your love

Like your own, O Jagadamba.

My Sambha.

My Sambha.

He was impulsive.

Stubborn.

Free-spirited!

Had I spent more time with him,

I would have tempered his nature.

He promised to share a meal with me.

My eyes were longing for him.

That promise won't be fulfilled now.

Who caused this, Shivba?

Afzal Khan.

Promise to bring me Afzal's head, Shivba.

My heart and soul was in far away lands.

And my eyes were longing for him.

I was yearning for his glimpse since long.

My Sambha.

Hold him close to your heart.

Feed him with your love.

Shower him with your love

Like your own, O Jagadamba.

My Sambha.

My Sambha.

My King.

My King!

The scribe of the Mahabaleshwar basin,

Rango Trimal, molested a girl, my King.

The punishment should have

preceded the report!

Cut off his limbs!

The coward has taken refuge in Jawali.

Send a message to the Chandrarao

and get him arrested immediately.

Do not bury a burning issue

under the ashes of silence!

You will face the wrath of fury!

Speak up!

My King

The Chandrarao himself

has given him refuge.

The Jawali seat remains

forever grateful to Swarajya.

Shivba Raje!

The Chandrarao needs to be

controlled, my King.

He is taxing merchants

within our own territory.

Absconders of Swarajya are

living with impunity in Jawali.

He is under the illusion

that he is a king.

I had wished for the Chandrarao

to be part of Swarajya.

The strategic territory of Jawali

to be part of Swarajya.

I ignored his increasing meddling.

But the Chandrarao seems

to be in a total delusion.

Pant!

Send a message to the Chandrarao,

asking him to come out of his delusion.

Any empathy shown to him is only

because of Aausaheb's promise.

One should not proclaim the benefits

and generosity extended to anyone,

but make him realize

by whose grace he proclaims the seat!

No one can proclaim themselves a King

by gathering a g*ng.

Jawali is my ancestral territory.

Sri Mahabaleshwar has

bestowed the grace of Jawali upon me.

I have the Emperor's support.

Unwanted interference

will not go unanswered.

Prove your valor today itself.

Why wait for tomorrow?

Come today itself.

The arms and ammunition are ready to fire.

So be it!

Hail Shivrai!

Hail Shivrai!

Chandrarao

I heard that Shivaji

is marching towards us!

He's coming.

Don't worry.

Why fear when I am here?

Chandrarao, refuge in Jawali

is the only reason I'm still alive.

Otherwise, my amputation was definite!

But suppose he actually arrives here

- Then what?

- Then what?

If he comes here

Your name will be engraved in history.

My name? How come?

Let me explain.

Rango Trimal compelled

Shivaji to come to Jawali,

and Chandrarao k*lled him.

You mean he wouldn't dare

step inside Jawali.

Raje, Shivaji has invaded Jawali

with his men!

You need not worry.

Is invading Jawali a cakewalk?

Let him come.

It would be an achievement for him

just to reach Jambhul Valley.

Raje, they have crossed Jambhul Valley

and are storming through Saapla Pass.

Hail Shivrai!

Raje!

News has been confirmed. Shivaji Raje

has been spotted at Daabhiltok!

Hail Shivrai!

You need not worry.

It will take him at least six hours

to reach from Daabhiltok.

Raje

Shivaji is nowhere to be seen.

No further reports of his sighting.

Didn't I tell you?

He must have gotten scared.

- You need not worry...

- Keep your mouth shut, Pratap!

He's not going back alive today!

Hey! Take your positions!

Rango Trimal!

It's time to engrave

your name in history!

Raje

Pratap!

Salutations to Mahadeva!

Salutations to Mahadeva!

Now!

Move quickly! Attack him!

Raje

Raje

Raje

Your gracious invitation compelled me

to present myself today itself.

Mercy, my King!

Please forgive me!

I beg for mercy.

I beg for mercy.

You must consider the Adilshahi

before harming me.

Shivaji was not born

to think about the Adilshahi.

But the Adilshahi shall never forget

how I absolved your sins.

Chandrarao

You've inherited the legacy

of Chandrarao More.

Yet you flaunt the shackles

of invaders like ornaments?

Across Nizamshahi, Adilshahi,

and Mughal rule,

servility to invaders

has stifled this land!

By trampling the invaders,

I aspire to Hindavi Swarajya.

And what did I ask for in return?

I expected your bonding with Swarajya.

You despise being enslaved by invaders.

What's wrong with me rejecting yours?

Swarajya demands loyalty,

not sl*very, Chandrarao!

"Swarajya" means

Our land, our resources, our hard work,

and the prosperity of all the people.

"Swarajya" means our efforts,

our will, our aspirations,

and collective success.

"Swarajya" means our native,

our culture, our belief,

and self-respect of the people.

I expected a supporter in you, but you

turned into an opposer, Chandrarao.

Salutations to Mahadeva!

Salutations to Mahadeva!

This is the dawn of true justice

in Jawali under Swarajya.

Jawali shall henceforth be

part of Swarajya, Chandrarao.

Salutations to Mahadeva!

Your Majesty!

Jawali's Chandrarao,

Krushnaji Baji is no more.

You take over as the new Chandrarao.

Your Majesty, that's not possible.

Why?

Shivaji attacked Jawali

and k*lled Chandrarao.

And now he has declared

a new King of Jawali.

Shivaji Raje Bhosale himself.

What do we name our prince?

Sambhaji.

Sambhaji!

My Shambhu!

Good wishes for the commemoration

of the Bijapur court.

Commemoration of Jawali.

Siva has gained total control over

all the affairs and trade of Jawali

within three years.

The entire Konkan,

down to every corner, has turned saffron.

And what are the achievements

of the veterans present here?

Nothing but consorting

with the courtesans of Bijapur.

Late Mohammad Adil Shah

mistook Siva for being naive.

I will not repeat that mistake.

If the wrists are reluctant

to wield a sword

They should be adorned with bangles.

It's easy to be audacious

in the court, Afzal.

Even the rocks of the Sahyadris

strike back.

My Queen, please rest assured.

Muse Khan went with the same instincts.

He never came back,

but news of his fate did.

How horrific you want Siva's end to be

depends only on your order.

Shall he be dragged in chains

like his father,

or shall I send him

to Allah like his brother?

My King, Afzal has resolved to k*ll you.

Setting out on a new campaign, Afzal?

This time, I am on a campaign

to change my destiny, Baba.

Destiny is Allah's will, Afzal.

All you need to do is

rid yourself of arrogance.

Arrogance seldom matters

to mighty warriors, Baba.

I am here to seek your blessings,

not your advice.

The path you have chosen

calls for advice, not blessings.

Your arrogance will decide, Afzal,

whether you create history,

God willing,

or become part of history.

Will I emerge triumphant, Baba?

Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar

Will I emerge triumphant, Baba?

Bad omen!

With no festival or celebration today,

what has brought the harem here?

- You are heading for the expedition...

- I am a veteran of numerous expeditions

But never been treated

with such pomp before.

We just wanted to bid farewell to you.

This farewell reeks of fear.

May I know the reason?

Her Highness was saying

What was she saying?

Peer Baba didn't answer clearly.

I'll give a clear answer.

You're being secretive with me, Sai.

I'm concerned about your health.

I have spoken to the Rajvaidya.

He said that your health

is deteriorating day by day.

I'm worried about you, Sai.

I'm worried about you too, Raje.

But I do not need a Rajvaidya

to know your well-being.

You've weathered extreme storms.

What worries you now?

Sai

What is coming is not a storm.

It's an apocalypse.

A brutal, unpredictable apocalypse.

Your Highness!

The deity is moved out of the temple!

I thought I would meet

your deity Vitthal before Siva.

Where is your deity Vitthal?

Hey!

Vitthal grants his divine sight

only at his own will!

Submit yourself in prostration,

and you'll be graced with the divine sight

of Vitthal and our King Shivaji as well!

My King, Khan has unleashed terror

in Pandharpur.

He's vandalizing all the temples

in his path

Desecrating the deities.

How many forts and pilgrim houses

are there on his route?

Five.

Raje, intimidating orders are being

sent to all the landlords of Maval.

I, Afzal Khan Mohammad Shahi,

the new commander of Wai,

wish to warn the people of Maval

that Siva has challenged the Adilshahi

by illegally capturing the Empire's forts.

Those who support disobedience

will forfeit their lands

and be punished with death.

Bear in mind

No mercy will be shown to those

who support the rebellion.

- Kanhoji

- Yes?

Rush to Pune at the earliest.

Shivba needs your support.

Be his trusted companion.

Certainly.

Your Highness!

We, the chieftains of Maval, along with

our armies, are at your service.

Whoever we sought help from

has fallen at Afzal Khan's feet.

Mambaji Bhosale has also followed Khan.

Pandhare has also joined Khan's rank.

Kharate has refused to reciprocate.

Kalyanrao Jadhav is yet to respond.

My entire harem could not bring me

as much joy as all of you have.

May Allah grant them

the highest place in heaven.

The very ones we empowered

have now joined forces with Afzal.

They deserve to be punished, my King.

Self-interest has consumed them.

Swarajya is my aspiration.

It seems like a lonely battle.

Is there a place for me

in your grand aspiration, Shivba?

Salutations, my King!

Uncle Kanhoji, have you lost your way?

You too must have received Khan's order.

Shivba

I'm here with a promise to Shahaji Raje.

That may be true.

Today, you may have joined me

to support me

But the moment Khan reaches your lands

You will retreat.

You will retreat

once he reaches your possessions.

My King

So, it's better to retreat

right now, Uncle Kanhoji.

I won't take it to heart.

My King?

The Jedhe bloodline is not one

to betray, but to honor loyalty.

Who cares about Khan?

He may offer us land, money, and wealth,

but I despise wealth built upon

the trampling of my culture.

Shivba

Thousands of inspiring stars

may fade into darkness,

but an aspirational sun like you

must rise to dawn upon a new era.

And

Shivba, henceforth

I renounce all my lands, wealth,

possessions, and these five sons

For the cause of Swarajya.

Uncle Kanhoji

I counted on many,

but only you came.

I may be the only one right now,

but lakhs will follow you soon.

I hope they rise up to the challenge.

They are marching closer

towards Rajgad, my King.

Khan's forces continue to strengthen

as more chieftains join him.

- Bahirji!

- Yes?

Be prepared to leave Rajgad.

Pardon me, my King,

but this is a misstep.

If you leave and Afzal arrives here,

our capital will be in danger.

Tanaji, battles must be

avoided near homelands.

It is better to hold them on a frontier.

If he besieges the capital by brute force,

it will be a threat to Swarajya.

And make no mistake

Afzal's pursuit is directed at me,

not at Swarajya.

May I ask you something?

Is something weighing on your mind?

You should express yourself.

Internal turbulence troubles

more than external storms.

Let it be.

Let me express my feelings to you.

You have much to accomplish ahead.

I might be a hurdle in your endeavors.

Though I wish to, I'm unable

to keep pace with your pursuit.

Continue pursuing your aspirations.

After all

The shadows of those who run

toward the sun are often left behind.

I'm content to remain behind you.

I'm worried about you, Sai.

What concern is a wick,

if it burns itself

to ignite the torch of Swarajya?

Why shouldn't I be content with this life?

In difficult times,

you stood by me as Lord Rama.

Brightened my life with joy

during times of sorrow.

Just imagine,

I reached my destiny without much effort.

It brings me happiness

that you are in my life.

But I must confess a regret.

I could not spend my life with you,

a wish that remains unfulfilled.

Why speak as though

we are parting forever, Sai?

Avoiding an eventuality won't

stop it from happening, Raje.

Shall I tell you what I prayed for?

It must not be revealed.

If so

I won't be able to express myself ever.

I prayed for

This land to be blessed with Swarajya

through your hands.

For all your wishes

and aspirations to come true.

I'm content with this life,

knowing that Swarajya is your first love.

But in the next life,

I will not let anyone

take you away from me.

And in that life

I won't accept anyone

else being part of your life.

Sai

All my other lifetimes are yours.

Only yours.

O beloved Paarijaat.

O beloved Paarijaat.

My life is graced by your presence.

As a celestial star.

As a pearl of the ocean.

You have lit up my heart.

Father Siva has escaped to Jawali.

Jawali is a vast territory.

Where might Siva be hiding?

He has built a fort there.

Pratapgad.

Pratapgad!

Your presumption was spot on, Raje.

Khan has changed his course.

He is en route to Jawali via Wai.

What's your next move, Raje?

We do not possess an army strong

enough to face Khan's brute force,

nor do we have the time to raise one.

Our fate is your command,

O Mother Bhavani!

Jagadamba!

Father, this unrelenting rain

won't let us move ahead.

Shall we halt the army here for today?

This is the ultimate test

of the Sahyadri rains.

It will not recede

for another three months.

Camp the armies here in Wai!

Raje, Mother Goddess blessed us!

The rains have answered our prayers.

Khan is forced to camp in Wai.

Khan is compelled to camp,

but he won't stay quiet.

Unleash such hellfire across the Deccan

that even the Sahyadri rains

cannot douse it.

Your Highness.

Krushnaji

Head to Pratapgad

and deliver a message to Siva.

The rat must be forced to come out.

Yes, Your Highness.

Any message from Afzal?

No, my Queen.

Your Highness, Supe stands deserted.

The fort has been abandoned.

Not even a trace of a soldier.

Is there any response from Siva?

No, Your Highness.

Commander, we have captured both

the forts of Shirwal and Saswad.

They lost their nerve

before your forces even arrived.

Is there any response from Siva?

No, Father.

Your Highness! The forts of Tala,

Koppal, and Maval stand deserted.

We captured them

without a single shot fired.

Fazal, is there any response from Siva?

We do have a message,

but it is from the Queen.

Honorable Afzal Khan!

I believe you are relentless

in your pursuit.

Bijapur is abuzz with expectations.

The markets are abuzz

with wagers on how you'll seize Siva.

Every nook and corner

is abuzz with debate.

The court is eager to meet you

and hear tales of your bravery.

But your approach is commendable.

Neither any report nor any messages.

It appears you shall return

with a grand victory.

Granting supplies for the third time

for your convenience.

May this encourage you

in the steps to come.

Veiling venom in sweetness is an art

best learned from a woman.

Your Highness!

I am grateful you arrived

before the Queen could deride me again.

Krushnaji, explain every detail

thoroughly. I wish to know everything.

Pantaji Gopinath was ready

to receive me at Pratapgad.

Welcome.

Torrential rain is a unique

characteristic of our territory.

When can I expect to meet Shivaji Raje?

Soon.

You will meet him very soon.

Take some rest for a while.

It was unusual.

Everyone appeared to be busy

with their routine.

But, Your Highness,

I have a keen eye for the unusual.

Warm water was frequently taken

inside behind closed doors.

The air was filled with

the smell of a variety of herbs.

Krushnaji, get some rest.

- Please rest.

- Sure, but

I sent multiple requests

to meet with Shivaji Raje.

I kept a close eye on every detail.

Warm water was delivered

at regular intervals,

and sounds of grinding

and crushing could be heard.

Did you meet Siva or not?

I did, Your Highness,

but after three days of waiting.

My King.

He hid his trembling hands

beneath the quilt,

but my sharp gaze missed nothing.

The fatigue in his eyes was

clearly visible, Your Highness.

Afzal Khan Mohammad Shahi,

the Adilshahi's most esteemed commander,

has set up camp for your meeting.

He has sent this letter for you.

Siva, I regard your father,

Shahaji Raje, as a brother.

I have enormous respect for him.

And you are like a nephew to me.

I will not take away the forts you have

seized from the Bijapur Sultanate.

I'm a large-hearted person.

All your acts of disobedience

shall be forgiven as well.

Come to meet me, Siva.

I'm eager to meet you

and embrace you in my arms.

What was his response?

Absolute silence.

Such insolence!

He dared to ignore my gesture?

He's sent an envoy, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I am Pantaji Gopinath Bokil.

I come bearing a response

from Shivaji Raje.

Your Highness, Shivaji Raje is fortunate

that you consider him as one of yours.

My King

I would not be able to say that.

You will have to.

Speak the words I ask you to.

Your Highness, the stories of your might

Everything we've heard is absolutely true.

Shivaji Raje bows neither to the Mughal

forces nor to the armies of the Adilshahi.

He believes there is one

and only one stalwart in Bijapur.

Commander Afzal Khan!

Please come to Jawali.

Shivaji Raje extends an earnest request.

Pant!

I will never go to Jawali.

Your Majesty, you're committing a blunder.

You should seek an earliest

meeting with Commander Khan.

His desire is to undo the injustice

inflicted upon your family.

In fact, he is planning a grand welcome

for you at the Bijapur court.

What did he say?

Your Highness,

it is shameful to express

But our King

Our King is scared of you.

He has already offended you for no reason.

And now, fearing a visit with you,

he's spending sleepless nights.

Write this down as well.

Pant!

Bring Siva here!

I am no fool to set foot in Jawali.

Has Afzal made the Sahyadris his home?

Commander Khan

has requested more supplies.

My King.

It's been over a month.

We will have to respond.

Is there any response from Siva?

Kavji, have we received

any message from Uncle Kanhoji?

No, Father.

No, my King.

Pant!

Afzal must be drawn

into the depths of Jawali.

Absolutely impossible.

Commander Khan must come to Jawali

to resolve this deadlock, Krushnaji.

Listen, Pant

Commander Khan has encamped here

with a vast armament.

How can we expect him to leave it

all behind and come alone?

Commander Khan can come

aptly decorated with his armament.

Raje is very keen to meet up.

But you must come to Jawali.

Who is he?

Bada Sayyad.

Has Shivba responded?

No, Raje.

Shivaji Raje has refused to meet.

Your Highness.

The Queen has sent a message.

If the wrists are reluctant

to wield a sword

They should be adorned with bangles.

Pant!

I will come to Jawali!

Make it easy for him to reach Jawali.

Raje, Khan has agreed

to meet Shivaji Raje.

Afzal is a devious backstabber.

Be prepared with the armies.

My King!

We have received

grievous news from Rajgad.

So blessed.

I am to be wedded to Shivaji.

I'm content with this life,

knowing that Swarajya is your first love.

But in the next life,

I will not let anyone

take you away from me.

O beloved Paarijaat.

O beloved Paarijaat.

My life is graced by your presence.

As a celestial star.

As a pearl of the ocean.

You have lit up my heart.

Checkpoints and guards have been set.

But, my King, comparatively,

we are deficient in military strength.

My King, Jedhe is here.

Salutations, my King!

You came alone,

but I'm glad you came.

I haven't come alone, my King.

My King.

They have left their homes

to embrace martyrdom.

If one is asked what a warrior

with no fear of death looks like,

let them be known as

the fearless faces gathered here.

Who are we fighting for?

For whom have all of you assembled here?

For yourself?

For Uncle Kanhoji?

Or for me?

Let me tell you.

For the smiling faces of those

you leave behind each morning,

this fight is for them.

We will have to ride the winds

and sacrifice our lives,

but this fight is for the commoners

on whose strength

the saffron stands proudly.

This fight is for the powerless

who aspire to fight but cannot.

The sacred land that blesses our crops.

The sacred land that

nurtures our children.

The Adilshahi commander, Afzal Khan,

with his mighty elephantry, cavalry,

huge army, and heavy a*tillery,

has set his unholy foot on this land

to crush and humiliate the Maratha pride!

But we will show the Adilshahi

that the Marathas

cannot be reduced to ashes!

The Marathas soar like

phoenixes from the ashes!

Our blood rises to the occasion,

and today that moment has arrived.

Never forget!

No matter how mighty the enemy may be,

they can be defeated

with a single decisive strike!

I returned to my motherland

holding the finger of Ausaheb.

The ruins of Pune from that time

still haunt me.

Beyond that, what haunts me more

is the weeping eyes of an old lady

I once met.

I didn't just see Pune in those eyes.

I saw the entire Maratha motherland!

Those eyes screamed

the pain of broken houses,

vandalized temples,

devastated spirits,

and broken pride.

Those eyes of the old lady

are my Aausaheb's eyes.

Those are the eyes of your loving mothers.

Those eyes are the eyes

of Goddess Bhavani!

Those eyes ordain me to stand with pride,

ordain you, ordain all of us,

and ordain each and every Maratha!

Goddess Bhavani has ordained

this sword of mine!

This resolve is not for today,

but for a better tomorrow!

Let us pledge to the flame of this torch,

to erase the darkness of our

future generations, future clans,

and the future era!

All hail Goddess Bhavani!

Victory to Mother Goddess!

- Glory be to

- Lord Mahadeva!

- Glory be to

- Lord Mahadeva!

- Glory be to

- Lord Mahadeva!

The meeting must be held in private.

Agreed.

Weapons to be allowed in the meeting.

Agreed, but no more than two guards

should be present in the shamiana.

Agreed.

A minimum of ten soldiers

is to be allowed for their protection.

Agreed, but their proximity

should be avoided.

They can be positioned within the

striking range of an arrow on both sides.

Agreed.

Commander Khan to arrive first

in the shamiana.

Not agreed.

Why should Commander Khan

wait for Shivaji Raje?

Let's avoid misunderstandings this time.

Commander Khan can inspect the shamiana

if he arrives early.

And traditionally speaking,

a disciple follows his guru.

I've never heard of a guru

following his disciple.

Agreed.

Netoji, be prepared with your

cavalry at Ambenali Ghat.

Uncle Kanhoji, keep a vigil on

Paarghat with the help of Deshmukhs.

Sure.

Tanaji, you have the responsibility

of the southwest of Pratapgad.

Bahirji, take control of the ghats.

Yes, my King.

Yesaji, Kaoji, you will accompany me.

Pant, the responsibility of bringing

Afzal to the shamiana is yours.

Jiva, under no circumstance

should you lose sight of Bada Sayyad.

Tomorrow, Siva will be

confined in this prison.

Dead or alive!

Your Highness, at last,

the elephant has decided to be a king!

Come what may,

Siva must not escape alive.

Yes, Your Highness.

Submit yourself in prostration,

and you'll be graced with the divine sight

of Vitthal and our King Shivaji as well!

Raje

Raje

Everywhere, there is an echo of Siva.

Is he the one?

I have come across mentions of Afzal.

Is he the one?

Your hospitality must be

appreciated, Siva.

The grandeur of this shamiana

surpasses even the court of Bijapur.

- Commander Khan, it is in your...

- I am not here to speak with you, Pant!

I had an image of you in my mind,

but you are shorter than I thought.

More than the Adilshahi Sultanate,

you think of me?

That is gratifying to hear.

Glory be to Allah!

I may think more of you,

but what is on your mind, Siva?

Swarajya.

Hail Shivrai!

Swarajya! Swarajya! Swarajya!

All along my journey,

I've only heard this!

What the hell is this

Swarajya nuisance all about?!

Be thoughtful in your choice of words.

If you ever fathom

the true essence of Swarajya,

you'll uphold the honor

of the saffron flag!

Hail Shivrai!

You're quite headstrong, Siva!

It was your insistence

that I should come here.

And it was my insistence

that I embrace you.

I accepted your insistence.

Now it's your turn to reciprocate.

Come, Siva, let me embrace you.

This is Afzal's clutch.

The more you resist,

the tighter the grip becomes!

This is the despicable status

of you Marathas!

This is the result of aspiring

beyond one's stature!

Henceforth, your Swarajya

will be nothing but a Deccan fable,

and no Maratha will dare

to dream of it again.

This is your end.

And with you,

this is the end of your Swarajya.

O Lord!

Mahadeva!

Give Shambhu my regards

and good wishes.

Arise and protect your own abode.

The backstabbing nature of your ilk!

The day the Marathas awaken to this truth

will mark the beginning of your end!

Dawn of the Marathas!

Afzal, this is the true stature

of the Marathas!

The Marathas have ceased

to tolerate the backstabbers!

Raje

Shivaji's legacy may end,

but Swarajya is eternal!

Raje

Hindavi Swarajya shall be established.

This is the will of God!

Glory be to

Mahadeva!

Raje

The one and only one, zenith of valor

O Chhatrapati.

O epitome of bravery, virtuous

Upholder of Dharma, O Chhatrapati.

O pride of Marathas.

O tiger of Mother Goddess Bhavani.

O legend of legends, righteous

Guardian of principles, O Chhatrapati.

O fierce warrior

Crown jewel of Kshatriyas, O Chhatrapati.

O pride of Marathas.

O tiger of Mother Goddess Bhavani.

- Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Shivaji!

- Glory to Shivaji!

Shivaji!

Jiva! Jiva!

Jiva! Jiva!

Jiva! Jiva!

Jiva! Jiva!

Watch your words.

It is Shivaji Raje.

He's the ironclad shadow of Shivaji!

He's Jiva!

The ultimate enemy slayer!

He's Jiva!

He's the ironclad shadow of Shivaji!

He's Jiva!

The ultimate enemy slayer!

He's Jiva!

- Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Shivaji!

- Glory to Shivaji!

My King, you proceed.

You have reduced Ravana to dust.

I will burn the Lanka.

My King, Afzal has resolved to k*ll you.

To defeat a mighty enemy,

wisdom prevails over power!

Psyops are the first weapons

to strike the enemy.

- Bad omen!

- Bad omen!

Two steps back in the present

mean one step forward in the future.

How many forts and pilgrim houses

are there on his route?

Five.

Concede them with minimal resistance.

The forts were deserted

before we could reach them.

Afzal's terror arrives

before Afzal himself.

- Glory be to

- Lord Mahadeva!

Convert your enemies'

confidence into arrogance.

- Raje has heard that

- You have unmatched strength.

The mere thought of you is a nightmare.

He believes there is one

and only one stalwart in Bijapur.

Commander Afzal Khan!

When w*r is inevitable, we must

choose the b*ttlefield to our advantage.

Pant, design a clever plan.

Commander Khan must come to Jawali

to resolve this deadlock, Krushnaji.

I will come to Jawali!

- Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Shivaji!

- Glory to Shivaji!

- Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Bhavani!

- Glory to Shivaji!

- Glory to Shivaji!

- Glory be to

- Lord Mahadeva!

- Glory be to

- Lord Mahadeva!

- Glory be to

- Lord Mahadeva!

Promise to bring me Afzal's head, Shivba.

Raje

Jagadamba!

Raje

This is not just a seal. With it,

I pass on the dream of Swarajya.

I feel

My lifetime is not enough

to achieve this grand dream.

Greatest of all warriors!

Crown jewel of the Kshatriya clan!

Sovereign of the throne!

The king of kings!

Victory to His Majesty,

His Highness, His Holiness.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj!

All hail!
