hair and a winning smile
He is fun, he plays the flute
A peacock feather in his
hair and a winning smile
... his friend Radha calls him Shyam
These old legends of
the little hero...
have passed into folk tales
Hey Krishna...
Hey Krishna... we still speak his name
Hey Krishna...
Hey Krishna... we still speak his name
The blue-skinned boy
who tended his flock...
He has many names,
he plays divine music
and he has been
worshipped down the ages
Such are the old legends
that have passed into folk tales
Hey Krishna...
Hey Krishna... we still speak his name
Hey Krishna...
Hey Krishna... we still speak his name
In a village on the banks of
Yamuna ... there it all began
It was in those meadows his
flocks grazed and his flute played
In a village on the banks of
Yamuna ... there it all began
It was in those meadows his
flocks grazed and his flute played
And the notes of his
flute rose in the air
making melodies we so love to hear
of how little Krishna...
won the hearts of men and
how he stole their butter...
and the songs tell of his strength,
how he moved mountains with a finger
Hey Krishna...
Hey Krishna... we still speak his name

What is that thing?
- A rising storm?
Look at it... coming in.
- Will it rain?
Is it... the earth rumbling?
Look at that cloud...
Let it rain, let it rain...
Not a raincloud...
A cloud of dust... armies?
Armies...?
- Yes, it is an army
Run... run for your lives... now!
The murderous Prince of Mathura!
Go... run away, while you can...
Run...
Chanur... Mustik... let the hunt begin
It was the era of evil,
an age of sin
Greedy kings and their
bloodthirsty armies...
unleashed terror
and in the blood of
countless innocent people..
..this earth was drenched...
and in songs and stories of those
who were wounded and made slaves,
the legends and
histories of this world were told
Start the fires...
Round them up
Into the cages
Please Prince, show us mercy...
..do not take our food,
don't take our cattle...
do not leave us to starve to death
Please, at least not our children...
please Mercy prince... mercy
I am Kans... what I
fancy is mine to take
Hurry!
Is there no end to our pain?
When will this torture stop?
When will You send us a savior?
When...?
Out of our way...
The Prince is coming home
Victory to Prince Kans
Long live prince Kans
Long live prince Kans
- Back to work, slaves
Don't drop the bag of cement
Do work.
My power is so great, my
rule will spread beyond Mathura
And the whole world will
become the kingdom of Kans
I shall shatter the peace of heavens..
..and I shall
unleash the furies of hell
and history will speak
of how I thrust my sword..
..into the heart of the earth
This, the world's biggest stadium..
..will become a symbol of my greatness
If it is not finished by
the time of my coronation,
then, you slaves will be buried
alive under the sands of this arena
And your bones will be
mixed with the concrete
Put the new slaves to work
Double the working shifts
And halve the rations
Kans' cruelty reflects...
my failure as a parent
In Mathura, I Emperor Ugrasen...
stand reduced to a helpless father
But Uncle, cousin Kans is so caring...
he always remembers to bring me gifts
He is always worried
about my safety, protection
I know, Devaki. But
I am afraid that...
after you're married
and gone from here..
..he might abandon all human values
But please, you must never abandon him
For he is to be the king of our clan
I can only hope and pray that..
..he doesn't destroy the other clans
He is the sum total
of my fears, Devaki
It's a fragile peace
between warring clans...
Your marriage with Prince Vasudev..
..promises to be the
first alliance for peace
Eighteen warring clans will be united
This is the beginning of
my dream for a golden age
But..
Cousin Kans...
it's got to be you
Devaki, you are the apple of my eye
But I find it so hard to believe...
..that you are getting
married and leaving us
Live a long and healthy life
I had promised your father..
..that you will be given a
wedding fit for a princess of Mathura
I have fulfilled my promise
Akrur, won't you bless Devaki?
Live happily
May you have mighty sons
Dear cousin...
Everyone in Mathura
will miss you, Devaki
Vasudev...
I give her to you. She
is as dear to me as life
Therefore care for her as I have
Never bring her any sorrow
Her wish is my command
Hey...
climb down
I shall drive the bride's chariot
God bless Devaki and Vasudev
God bless Devaki and Vasudev
God bless Devaki and Vasudev
God bless Devaki and Vasudev
God bless Devaki and Vasudev
God bless Devaki and Vasudev
God bless Devaki and Vasudev
God bless Devaki and Vasudev
God bless Devaki and Vasudev
Beware Kans...
know this... the one whom
you are saying goodbye to...
the eighth son of this very Devaki...
will kill you
Her child will be my undoing?
I cannot allow this
prophecy to be true...
..to let her son be born
so that he can kill me...?
Never... never...
Devaki,
forgive me, forgive
me my dearest cousin
Kans..?
No Kans... no!
If your life is to be the
cause of my death Devaki...
..then in your death is my life
Kans, stop
This is Devaki... she is a woman...
..and she is your cousin
... and we are Just-married
Holding a knife on her...
..doesn't suit... a
great warrior like you
It's her tough luck.
I must do what I must
Then I am bound to
defend my wife, Kans
And remember...
if I am forced to raise my sword,
..then your clan and mine are at war..
..and my allies are
also at war with you
Are you threatening me, Vasudev?
No! He isn't threatening
Please! Have mercy upon us...
Should I invite my death?
No!
Neither I nor Devaki
will cause of your death ...
..it is the eighth son
I..
I give you my word...
Each of Devaki's sons,
as soon as they are born,
I shall give to you
You are truthful and a
man of honor, Vasudev
But as long as I am alive,
you shall remain my prisoner
Soldier...
As you wish, my Lord
Kans has imprisoned his cousin..
..and her husband
It's because of that prophecy...
..that Devaki's
eighth son, will kill Kans
How cruel of him... to throw a
newly-wedded couple into the dungeons
How could he be so heartless...
this son of Ugrasen?
The list of his
misdeeds grows longer...
it's said that Kans
has angered his father
This would've Qualified
for a death sentence..
..this betrayal borders on treason
but a crown prince is given
a chance to defend himself
I shall defend myself by the
might of my sword, Your MaJesty
The blade that got rid
of Mathura's enemies..
..will be my defense in
the face of your charges
What you have done is not
only unJust, it Is a sin
Self defence is
every warrior's right...
If that doesn't satisfy your Question,
you may also retire to a prison,
to debate good and bad in peace
Are you threatening me...
threatening your father...?
How dare you threaten the emperor?
Not threatening, dear Father...
I advise you to be careful
Akrur, now I wish that
I never had this son...
I am a total failure as a father..
..Or, is he a punishment for my sins?
Keep faith, Your MaJesty
The night is darkest Just
before the beginning of a new dawn
Who is more unfortunate than I...
..to spend my
wedding night in prison...
Nothing can happen
against God's will, Devaki
It is possible that this life is
prison may mean freedom for many
What does Vasudev's
clan think of themselves?
For Vasudev's sake...
they are willing to
pick a fight with you?
If the stupid subJects of
our kingdom support this idea..
..it can become a dangerous situation
Use the fear of an attack,
declare emergency...
..in the name of
security of the state...
and imprison everyone who
sympathizes with Devaki and Vasudev
And hang anyone who dares to oppose us
Hang them
Victory to King Kans
Victory to King Kans
Long live the king
Your MaJesty, a holy
man wants to meet you
A holy man? In the kingdom of Kans?
I warned him that the king
has ordered all holy men..
..to leave the kingdom
And...?
He said, tell the
king that Narad has come
Narad? Why did'nt you
tell me earlier, you fool?
Narad is a devotee of
Lord Vishnu, my enemy
He is worth my time
if I can find out..
..what Lord Vishnu
is plotting against me
Praised be the Lord
Praised be the Lord
A devotee of Lord Vishnu in
the kingdom of his biggest enemy?
Are you so scared of me
that you have left him..
..to Join me?
One who sees God's
presence everywhere has no fear
I have come to advise you..
..that the very God you
want to fight lives within you
All that lives
within me is my ambition.
You are certainly a mighty king.
But both the mightiest
and the wisest know that..
the power of life and
death is in God's hands.
Your MaJesty...
I have come to make good my promise
Here is my first born...
my son
I am unfortunate that..
..I can not feel happy at his birth
Narad, you see...
The life of this baby is in my hands
Nothing that you say
about morals can stop me
I can do whatever I want
Bring me your eighth son...
I am waiting...
I shall forever be
grateful for your kindness
Now tell me Narad, who is more
powerful? Me or Lord Vishnu?
As you can see, I even control Death
Such pride is not good Kans
Lord Vishnu rules all creation
Time also follows His design
Oppose Him and you invite destruction
While there is still time,
change your ways..
..and seek forgiveness from the Lord
For Kans, there is no God!
Kans rules Earth by his might
Soon, I shall also conQuer
the skies and heavens...
and your Gods and you
god-men will all serve me as slaves
Then instead of singing
the praises of the Lord..
..you will all sing my praises.
Your ignorance is your misfortune
To protect His disciples,
to destroy the likes of you,
The Lord has decided to assume
human form and appear on earth
That time is at hand,
and reJoicing has begun
The Gods are
descending on earth as humans.
In the time ahead, your
death waits. Mark, my words
But by the time you
realise your mistakes..
..it will already be too late for you
Your MaJesty, there's no
point in taking Narad seriously
He's only good at twisting facts
You are our emperor,
your life is precious
What value is a child's life,
compared to yours?
MaJesty, this waiting
for the eighth son means..
..giving death seven
chances to cheat you
But of course!
Odds are, that the first son
could be as dangerous as the eighth
I knew it! Kans can never be so cruel!
I was the apple of his eye...
that makes you his dearest nephew
Oh... it's you...!
His MaJesty has been kind...
has he come to set us free...?
Yes!
Has my son brought us our freedom...?
Couldn't stay away
from the little one...
..so I thought, let's pay him a visit
Yes, our son is so lovable..
I could keep on
looking at him forever..
Look at him glowing,
like the full moon
A good comparison...
your little one...
is like the moon,
about to be eclipsed...
But... what...?
Your son and I are linked by destiny
For me, he is death...
and I mean death for him.
You said that you'd spare his life...
..because, he's our first born
In this lotus, which
petal is number one..
..and which is the eighth...?
Who can say...?
Clockwise, the first
is also the eighth..
..counter clockwise the
eighth is also the first
Any petal can be that number eight
That's why each of your
sons can mean my death
Give him up
No... no...
Spare my son!
Don't...
When the earth is scorched
sing a song of hope
For our darkest of times
there's a song of hope
For our world to be a nicer place
For life without sorrow's traces
For the darkness to be lit...
that the Sun may shine upon us...
Open your heart, let him in
So let us reJoice...
in prayer and songs
of love...
So awaken, arise...
make a wish and pray
that He may come unto us
It is He, and he is coming
and our world is changing
Open your heart, let him
in Feel the warm glow within
Let Him in, let Him touch your heart
Wipe your tears and feel the love
Feel the love in hills and seas,
clouds of hope and rain
Songs of birds and cricket's cheer,
let's fall in love again
And once you've found peace,
you must make a wish...
For him to be with you
and you with him, always
Sung in the music of the singing bees
All songs of prayer, of hope, of love
It's that someone, and he is
coming and our world is changing
Open your heart, let him
in Feel the warm glow within
Let it in, let it
touch your heart and smile...
smile and feel the
love... love... love... love...
Give up sadness n despair,
go and speak the word of hope
Tell them the world's changing,
tell em it's the power of love
In faith and belief, hope and prayer,
sing songs of Joy and cheer
it's the advent, it's Him, it's
the coming, the avataar of hope
ln times of Despair,
nine times before, in nine...
ages of man, He was with us,
now He comes again
It's that someone, and he is
coming and our world is changing
Open your heart, let him
in Feel the warm glow within
Let Him in, let Him touch your
heart Wipe your tears and feel the love
Let Him in, let Him touch your
heart Wipe your tears and feel the love
Vasudev... Devaki...
Do not fear
You have worshipped
me for many lifetimes
Because of your devotion..
..I am to be born to you as a son
Vasudev, do not hesitate
Put me in a basket,
cross the river Yamuna..
..take me to Gokul, the
village of the cowherds
There, find Nanda's wife Yashoda.
She has given birth to a baby girl
Yashoda is tired and fast asleep
Put me down right beside her,
pick up her daughter
and bring her here
Quickly now, Vasudev
What a miracle this is, Devaki
At this darkest hour of night...
with the monsoon rains
wreaking havoc outside...
we seemed to have no choice ..
..but to witness the inevitable
murder of our eighth child...
in such dire circumstance...
our son has been born
It's a daughter!
My son would have
been a danger for you!
Kill me if you wish,
but spare her life
Spare her life, spare her life
Be it boy or a girl, Death never
differentiates. Why must I...?
No Kans no...
Please don't...
Foolish Kans!
You will get nothing by killing me
Your nemesis has been born
The world's savior has arrived
God has descended on Earth.
It's a certain end
for sinners like you
Pootna
Stay away! Stay away from me
I'm bad and very evil
Better be afraid of me
Stay away! Stay away from me
I'm bad and very evil
Better be afraid of me
That's the venom..
on my breath
And the things I do...
will drive you to death
So keep the babies away from me
I'm the evil woman
I deal in black magic,
evil spells,
I deal in black magic,
evil spells,
evil spirits
even death
I cast spells
to kill babies
I'm the mother of terror
I have destroyed, uprooted,
sent men to terrible deaths
So keep the babies away from me
I'm evil in every breath
Stay away! Stay away from me
I'm bad and very evil
Better be afraid of me
It's the poison in me that kills
It's my poison that kills...
the simplest who are seduced
I cast spells
to kill
I'm the mother of evil
I have destroyed, uprooted,
sent men to terrible deaths
Stay away! Stay away from me
I'm bad and very evil
That's the venom..
on my breath
And the things I do...
will drive you to death
So keep the babies away from me
I'm bad and very evil
Pootna
Kans...? It's been so long...
O'mighty Kans, what
pleasures do you desire?
My death has come in the form
of a boy, he must be killed.
Only one boy...?
A few hundred and it's
somewhat worth my time
A few thousand means good money..
..and some Job satisfaction
Fun for me begins... when I'm
counting in hundreds of thousands
But one child...?
Mighty Kans, I am Pootna remember?
The one and only evil
witch with breasts..
..that produce poison, not milk
Poison
Stay
My target is a lone baby,
but he is not an ordinary boy
This is ordained
So you have to kill all boys
born in the last ten days.
Now, I'll have some fun
No! Don't take my baby away!
Are there any more left?
Welcome
Thank you for coming
Vrishabhan...
Good to have you here
Welcome, lady
Congratulations on
the birth of your son.
How is Yashoda?
They're fine... please go inside
All well?
The Lord is kind
My congratulations , Nand
Thanks
I hope you too will have a baby soon
We have been hoping for years
And waiting...
We leave it in God's hands
God will answer your prayers
He always does
Garg, you are wise
and can see the future
Bless my son, give him a name.
And tell us what the
future holds for him
How can I see the future of
a child who will influence..
..the future of man till eternity?
Mark my words
Born at midnight on
August's Wednesday..
..that eighth night in the
cycle of the waning moon..
..your son will find a
following amongst men..
..as a shepherd to mankind.
He will lead men to a
higher consciousness.
Therefore, I name him Krishna
Krishna... my angel
I'm going with you
Balram, who will take
care of Little Krishna?
When I am away, you will
be the man of the house.
Krishna is Just a baby.
I will settle the taxes in
Mathura and return soon.
I have heard that a
demon is kidnapping children
Goodness!
And the King is doing nothing about it
Hey, keep an eye on Krishna
Sure, I will
Don't let him out of your sight
I won't
You were doing Just fine...
what happened all of a sudden?
All right hush, I'll call your mother
Shut the door... my husband is away
and there's no man in the house...
Who are you?
I'm a celestial maiden
I was passing by and I
saw your lovely baby
So, I stopped by to give my blessings
As you might know..
..demons are
kidnapping and killing babies
My breast milk has the elixir of life
If your son feeds at my breast..
..no body will be able to harm him.
Drink child, drink
It's the elixir of life
Just drink my milk and you
will be... free from life!
Forever free...
Let go of me...
Let go of me...
Krishna.. Somebody help!
Somebody help!
Looks like...
..it's Krishna who
has got her instead.
Save my baby!
Krishna...
Krishna...
Krishna...
Krishna...
My precious little one...
At long last... our
prayers are answered
God has sent us a
precious little Jewel
You can't imagine how happy we were
to find this pretty
creature lying on a lotus bed..
..floating down the river
So beautiful, so exQuisite...
My friend... tears in a time for Joy?
I would've reJoiced at the birth..
..but... it has been
eleven days since, and still...
she has not opened her eyes...
She has opened her eyes!
She opened her eyes
at Krishna's touch!
Perhaps your daughter
didn't open her eyes..
..because she wanted
to see Krishna first
I want to name her Radha..
..the first devotee of Krishna
I don't understand this...
how did an infant like
Radha recognise Krishna?
Set your mind to it
and it defies logic.
But seek within your
hearts and you may realise...
theirs is an eternal friendship
Your daughter Radha
is no ordinary girl.
She is the feminine
expression of the Joy of life
Trinavart
Mighty Kans, what do you wish?
Pootna never returned...
she's gone without a trace...
Trinavart, now you are the
one who will kill the one..
..who intends to kill me
This is my wish
Nobody has survived my tornadoes
May my Krishna's arms and his hands..
..grow longer, stronger, faster
May my Krishna's legs and his feet..
..grow longer, stronger, faster
And God protect you from the evil eye
Help...
My baby...
It was strange that a child
should possess such strength,
unimaginable that this
child would come to our rescue
It surprised all men
to hear such tales
And thus came to be
Krishna's following
It was strange that a
child could overcome such evil,
unimaginable that this
child would challenge tyranny
It surprised all men
to hear of his courage
... thus Krishna's
following came to be
It was strange that a
child could overcome such evil,
unimaginable that this
child would challenge tyranny
My baby...
Thank God!
In our village every day
we have seen Krishna at play
That lovely little boy...
showed us how to move the moon
Growing up amongst us,
he makes us think...
if there can be a mystery
in every mischief we see
We have seen him,
everyone has seen him
We have seen his miracles at play
Oh, let him steal some butter
Let him play his flute
He's blue
He's as Quick as deer
And there's a peacock
feather in his crest
He's always after pots of milk
And he will thrash
anyone who tries to bully us
We're glad he's here with us
Glad to hear his flute,
glad to hear his song
As glad as Radha is,
when she dances to his song
In our village every day
we have seen Krishna at play
Oh, let him steal some butter
Let him play his flute
Just imagine that little mite...
has the guts to put up a fight !
Our Krishna is afraid of no one
Even his worried mother smiles
And when he laughs,
in that ringing laughter hides,
the whole universe
Glad to hear his flute,
glad to hear his song
As glad as Radha is,
when she dances to his song
In our village every day
we have seen Krishna at play
That lovely little boy...
showed us how to move the moon
Where is that enemy of mine...
where is he?
Pootna has disappeared
Trinavart has vanished
What strange powers protect him?
Bakasur...
Look!
Eat ! We have lots more
Yashoda is such a
wonderful mother to her children
Krishna is so full of mischief,
but she never loses her temper
Duddy if you do as I say...
we will get as much
milk to drink as we want!
Look at the way she is walking!
She is not walking, she is dancing
Looks like she is
going to see her boyfriend
She's so funny, I'm
nearly breathless... but ...
does laughter also
leave you light-headed?
I guess a good laugh
lightens your burden
Hey Krishna...?
Run
Yes, go on, run... hide where you can!
Wait till I tell Yashoda...
all about these pranks...
then she is going to take care of you
Krishna you should..
..sweet-talk your mother
And get it over with
before these girls turn up
Hey Krishna...
Come here my darling...
Come here
Why are you standing there? Come...
Mother, I've made a mistake
Mistake? What could my
little Krishna have done!
It's all this...
cream... and butter...
Cream and butter?
What's this about? Speak up
I've never seen such delicious cream
and butter in all my life, mother!
You are not even seven years old
and you're talking about life?
You see this cream
and butter every day...
Can you give me a little mother?
Not now. Wait a bit son,
don't be in a hurry,
Be patient,
everything here is yours ...
If you wait the reward will be sweeter
It's very difficult to wait
when it's right in front of you
Krishna stop wasting time!
Figure a way out!
Those girls are right here!
Mother I have a Question...
So ask...
First you say I've made a mistake.
Then you say... this is the
most delicous cream and butter
you have seen in your life...
And now you say you have a Question?
Mother am I not your son?
Who has been saying this to you?
You're my little darling
They all say you
bought me at the market.
Tell me mother, am I not your son?
The market? Who dares to say that?
Tell me who ... let
them come in front of me!
Right! Very good! Krishna
deserves to be punished!
Punished? Why would I punish Krishna?
He destroyed our
milk-pots and stole the milk
We have all the milk and
cream we'll ever need.
Why would Krishna steal?
Why would we lie, Yashoda?
Do we enJoy complaining about Krishna?
Yashoda, it was certainly him.
This beautiful complexion..
..the headfull of curls, the
sweet mischievous smile...
Who else could it be but Krishna?
Mothet they're lying
Look me in the eye and swear that..
..you saw me breaking your pots
and then drinking the milk...?
Yes! Krishna smashed my
milk and drank the pot...
I mean smashed the pot and milk...
No, no, no! The pot was in the milk...
Oh God! What do I do?
I want to say it... I can't say it...
He made us brides
and confused the monkey
No, no! Made the
monkey a bride and then...
Oh I can't look at him... I
can't look away... What do we do?
Krishna always puts us in his
spell and manages to get away.
What do we do?
Enough, enough
You girls are blaming him for nothing
Now go and take fresh
milk from the store. Go...
Krishna you also go... you have
to take the cows to the fields.
Will you open your eyes, or
shall I open them for you?
In the face of merciless persecution,
in the face of violence, hatred,
deliver us from evil, oh Lord!
Oh Lord, may Thy kingdom come
Balram... there he is...
This is what you call ''out
of the pan and into the fire''
Find a blanket
Krishna, Jump
I am afraid...
Don't be scared.
Jump! We're here for you
It is easy to say Jump
when you are standing there.
Looking down from here all I
can think of is broken bones...
Now what?
Krishna Just shut your
eyes and take the plunge...
No...
Your destroyer has taken birth...
Your death awaits you
The eighth born son
will be your end...
MaJesty...
Your MaJesty,
But I've done nothing...
Where is my destroyer?
My destroyer... where is he?
Why does he not reveal himself?
Where does he hide?
MaJesty
He is merely a child
And he has brought
you to this state...?
I feel very pained to
see you like this...
Pained? Then why
don't you do something?
What is this magical
power protecting him?
Who dares to be Kans' enemy?
Who is this... so fearless?
Excuse me, Your MaJesty...
You are the one who sounds fearful
Mighty Kans, this fear
is unbecoming of you
Yes! I am filled with fear
What a strange situation...
the Mighty Kans is
afraid of a mere baby?
However I ... I shall
surely overcome my fear
I will conQuer death
Wherever my destroyer
is I will destroy him
I will annihilate him
I will annihilate him
The Victor shall destroy
with all his might, all
evil that stands in his way
Only a ConQueror can overcome
the demons that besiege him
A Hero will rise to every challenge,
in the moment of truth,
he will hold his ground
Come Judgment day,
holocaust and apocalypse,
only the Hero shall save and redeem
What is happening?
Is this really an earthQuake,
or am I imagining it?
What fears have overcome me of late?
The hunt for this boy...
has lasted for ten years and
still there's no a trace of him...?
What's ten years, Kans?
One can seek Him for centuries,
millenniums,..
.. lifetimes and all ages of man...
but you will see Him only
when He wants to see you
Narad...
If you know so much about that boy,..
..you must also know where he is?
Ah... I know because
He wishes me to know
And it is because of His wish that
... this is the time for you to know.
Kans, your destroyer, Vasudev
and Devaki's eighth son, Krishna...
is in Vrindavan...in the
care of his foster parents
Nand and Yashoda and
their son Balram...
Vasudev and Devaki deceived me
Akrur,
I shall not rest in peace
until I have met my dearest nephew
You must get to Vrindavan
Quickly and fetch my beloved nephew
Invite him to the wrestling
matches in the arena of Mathura
I have ached ten long, long
years to set my eyes upon him
Let there be no delay. Depart, now
Krishna...
His Excellency Arkur
of Mathura has come...
We are honored by your presence,
Your Excellency
All my life, I have waited
eagerly to see You Krishna
Here you are before me,
yet I cannot believe my eyes
Krishna, my Lord!
You are the one the world has awaited
All creatures bright and beautiful,
all yearn for You
Because each seeks divine love and Joy
This world can provide kingdoms,
and riches and wealth, eminence...
But nothing worldly
provides Joy or bliss
Of that eternal bliss,
You are the fountainhead
To show us the path of
selfless devotion, of endless love,
You come amongst us again and again
When the world is
full of misery and grief
You take mercy upon us ..
..and descend amongst us to
lead us to truth and light
Kans is a cruel king
He has cast aside his duties as a king
He is ruling Mathura
with the help of demons
He imprisoned his father
and declared himself Emperor
Eighteen tribes have been
forced to flee their homelands
And your parents...
the torture that he has
inflicted upon your parents...
In his attempt to eliminate you,
he killed your brothers,..
.. six of them in cold blood
I cannot describe to
you his cruelty in words
All her life, your mother
could only weep helplessly for..
..the children she has seen murdered
And the unspeakable pain and sorrow..
..that your father has lived with...
The time for my parents' freedom...
and Kans' death has come
It's high time that the
world is rid of this evil
Kans is inviting
gladiators to wrestle in his arena
He has invited you too
To make a public show of
your death in Mathura's arena
And I have the sad task...
to escort you there
There is no cause for worry,
Your Excellency
What do you say, brother?
Whenever I hear the flute...
the lilting flute
why am I overwhelmed,
why does my heart aches,
why do my eyes yearn,
why does my heart aches,
why do my eyes yearn,
oh why do tears come
to my thirsting eyes?
Have you heard Krishna's flute,
have you felt the emotional tides,
the heartache,
my yearnings?
Why does my heart ache,
why do I yearn so...
oh why do tears come
to my thirsting eyes,
at the sound of the wind in a flute?
Here amongst the
people of Vrindavan,..
.. I have found that
love can be devotion
I've found your love can be selfless,
devoid of any desire, ..
..even wish or purpose
Almost divine, such love
is boundless and full of Joy
And you Radha...
I am seeing in you love as
if in human form, personified
To tell the truth, I
can never love you...
as much as you love me
For love is a debt
that can never be repaid
Forgive me, Radha.
Mathura is where I need to be
There's a world
waiting for me out there...
my destiny is calling me...
Oh do not remind me
of times with you...
I have stopped fighting those memories
But why are you so pitiless,..
..or is your music's
pleasure in making me sad?
Will you ever return to me Krishna,
my friend, my foe...
Have you ever heard His flute,
passion's surge that music makes,
the tortured heart...
that brings tears to eyes...
the tortured heart...
that brings tears to eyes...
Oh why do I weep
Have you ever heard His flute,
Attention!
Our most beloved...
our ruler and provider...
the sovereign of Mathura...
The King, Emperor,
The Almighty Kans...
comes amongst us
And now...
the Emperor's guests of honor...
Devaki and Vasudev's son Krishna...
and Balram...
are entering the arena
My son... this is my son!
My son has come!
My Krishna... and Balram... at last...
A team of two, this duo...
from Vrindavan?
The whole town is full
with stories of their bravery
But the two of them are Just children!
So this is my destroyer?
Chanur
I am Chanur
You must be Krishna...
and that is Balram
Bravest of the brave?
And I am Mustik. Which
one is taking me on?
I think, my brother will
Chanur is my opponent
Accepted
This is so unfair
A boy pitted against a
killer like Chanur...?
Shala, Toshala, Kut...
Krishna...
Krishna...
Uncle here I am. You have been
looking for me for ten years...
I accepted your
invitation and I have come
When repression reaches its heights...
it invites its own end
You also have invited me
Thank you for inviting me
Krishna...
Krishna...
Krishna...
This, for my six brothers...
the six infants whom you
flung upon the rocks..
and you bashed them until they died
This, for my innocent parents,
whom you have held captive
This, for the tears that my
mother held back for ten years
This, for the eighteen clans
who were forced to flee Mathura
This, for your
persecution of the people of Gokul,
Vrindavan and Mathura...
the countless people you have tortured
This Avatar of Vishnu the Lord of
Life, who was born amongst us...
and used his might to redeem us,
to deliver us was called Krishna,
the son of Vasudeva
Victory to Krishna!
Victory to Krishna!
Victory to Krishna!
Victory to Krishna!
Victory to Krishna!
Victory to Krishna!
People of Mathura, in
every era, in every age...
this has been the fate of every tyrant
Death to the tyrant add when
the statue of Kans is falling down
Death to the tyrant add when
the statue of Kans is falling down
Death to the tyrant add when
the statue of Kans is falling down
Victory to Krishna!
Victory to Krishna!
My son... my baby...
My Krishna... come...
Krishna... my baby... I love you
Mother, wipe your tears
The time of sorrow is gone
Say hail to King Ugrasen Hail!
God bless Devaki and Vasudev
Victory to Krishna and Balram
Victory to Krishna and Balram
5000 years on, the
legend of Krishna, his birth,
his feats, still evokes awe,
inspiration, devotion
The philosophy of duty and love that
he espoused is the
cornerstone of culture
in the land of his birth
and elsewhere
this land seeking to
fathom Krishna's legend...
and to re-live the music,
to study a culture...
this Krishna consciousness
that has survived Tim
