Jodhaa Akbar Page #2

have rejected our sovereignty outright!

The Rajputs!

Devotees of the sword,

the bravest of the brave!

Your Highness!

What's the reason for this interruption.

Forgive me. The Queen

is asking for the Princess.

Tell the Queen mother,

I'll join her shortly.

As you wish.

Jodhaa, this isn't fair!

I was about to win when

the attendant distracted me.

Victory is victory, brother.

I have defeated you!

Brother Sujamal, remember -

a moment's distraction

can change the duel's outcome.

A slight distraction

can bring defeat... or death!

- It is you who taught me that!

- Yes, I know.

Now the student teaches the teacher.

Not teaching, only reminding.

Let me tell you.

Your skills are impressive.

A good student absorbs knowledge

swiftly and well.

Like you, Jodhaa!

Really? So I am a good student.

Thanks to a wise teacher like you.

- Your new teacher is wiser.

- A new teacher? Who is that?

The Queen.

Your mother will teach you,

what women must know.

You will soon be carried away

in a palanquin.

But I have a condition!

I will not marry, till father

appoints you the Crown Prince!

- But...

- My last word!

Jodhaa, you must not make

unreasonable demands.

But it's true!

I have heard father praise your skills.

He speaks of your bravery.

And the many tournaments you have won...

...you are proficient in warfare

deserving to be crowned.

Now there's nothing

to be worried about. Am I right?

Let the prayer begin -

In the name of Lord Surya...

On this auspicious day of Dassera...

...it is time for

important announcements!

My first announcement is:

The reins of Amer will be

in Bhagwan Das's hands.

The second:

Sujamal... will be subordinate

to Bhagwan Das.

And now for the news,

you've long awaited.

Within the year, on an auspicious day,

with Goddess Jamvai Mata's blessings...

...Princess Jodhaa

and Prince Ratan Singh...

...will be joined in holy matrimony!

Congratulations!

Feign some shyness!

A fruitful union!

Where are you going?

They must be looking for you.

Give me your veil.

- Go and take my place discreetly.

- Yes.

Brother, it grieved me to hear...

...perhaps... father was helpless!

Helpless?

More like selfish and greedy.

I am not hungry for power.

I never eyed a thing that isn't mine.

I don't mind sharing the kingdom

with Bhagwan Das and Maan Singh.

All I want is, my self-respect and

honour. And what is rightfully mine.

And if I am denied this...

...then, remember Jodhaa,

the setting sun will rise again!

Brother!

I will speak to the Emperor

at an opportune moment...

...and request him to ask

King Bharmal...

...to give you a share

of the Amer throne.

I will be indebted to you,
