Plot
The film begins with a series of tournaments at the fort of Hastinapuram, where
Bhima and Duryodhana compete in Gada Yuddh, with the game turning into a dispute of
achivement. Dronacharya intervenes and declares them equivalent in ability.
Afterwards, Arjuna shows his extraordinary talent in archery and Dronacharya
praises him as a powerful warrior. Eventually, Karna arrives and challenges Arjuna,
but is vilified for his caste. Though Kunti recognizes Karna as her child, she
hides the information, as she afraid of outside judgement. However, Duryodhana
keeps him to save face as per the ruse of Shakuni by acclaiming him as king of
Anga. Therefrom, Karna dedicates his life to Duryodhana and becomes his soulmate.
Next, Dronacharya asks Arjuna his tuitional fee Guru Dakshina that to catch hold of
Drupada, king of Panchala, and spins backward.[clarification needed] At one time,
they are besties who promise him to share half of his kingdom. Destitute he reaches
for help when Drona is kicked out and he pledges to get him down. Listening to it,
Arjuna attacks and seizes Drupada and throws him under the toes of the mentor.
[clarification needed] Humiliated, Drupada seeks vengeance when Lord Krishna calms
him down and instructs him to conduct the Putrakameshti yagnam to beget a son who
could slay Drona and daughter to espouse Arjuna. From that fire, the twins
Dhrishtadyumna and Draupadi are born. Since birth, Draupadi adores Krishna and he
too endears her as his sister.
Meanwhile, Dharmaraj (Yudhishthira) is crowned as the Prince of Hastinapuram for

which he is envied by Duryodhana and the other Kaurava. Henceforth, Kunti is
perturbed for their safety and prayers to Krishna. Lord Krishna consoles her and
works to guard and guide her sons through troubles in their life. On the eve of
Krishna's birthday, the Pandavas visit Dvārakā when he calls a divine architect
Mayasura (Maya) who designs and accords them a spectacular building, the
"Mayasabha". Draupadi also lands when she crushes Arjuna. Sage Narada gifts a fruit
and asks him to present it to his favorite. Krishna is about to share it when he
cuts his finger. When Draupadi bandages him by tearing her saree, he promises to
pay back her debt at right time.
Later, Pandavas proceeds on a trip for expanding the kingdom. In his pathway,
Arjuna reaches Rameswaram where he spots Ram Seth. Narada also grounds and
questions him why did Lord Rama need to depend upon Vanara as he is a great archer
who can build the bridge with arrows? Accordingly, he replies the viaduct built
with arrows is highly potent which no one can destroy. Being aware of it, the
infuriated Anjineeya (Hanuman) tackles and challenges Arjuna. It is impossible to
transport the group of Vanaras to such a bridge which cannot bear him alone. As a
result, Arjuna constructs it using his skills of archery twice and Anjineeya
collapses it. Like this, he makes a final attempt and readied a pyre if it fails.
This minute, it stands firm when Arjuna spots Krishna had lent his shoulder to the
foundation to save his external body. Suddenly, Anjineeya recognizes Krishna as his
Lord Rama who advises him to decorate as Arjuna's flag.
Consequently, Duryodhana is frightened by the big hit of Arjuna and plots to
eliminate Pandavas along with Shakuni. They act together to construct a wax house
at Varanasi. Drutarastra sends Pandavas claiming it is the responsibility of a
price to perform rituals therein. Krishna gazes at their evil play and warns Bheema
to be alert. So, he digs a tunnel to the nearby forest. At midnight, the brutal
puts fire but Pandavas and Kunti break out of jeopardy. Following, Bheema
slaughters Hidimbasura, a rakshasa (demon), whose sister, Hidimbi, had fallen for
Bheema at first sight. Hidimbi and Bheema are married and they have a son,
Ghatotkacha. As of today, the Pandavas hides under the guise of Brahmins at
Ekachakrapuram on the guidance of sage Vyasa.
Upon which, a monster Bakasura plagues to whom they should send two oxen, a
cartload of food, and a human being every day. It so happens that, the house owners
of the Pandavas get their time Kunti sends Bheema instead of their son who emerges
as the victor by death blowing him. Simultaneously, Drupada arranges a svayamvara
for Draupadi with an archery contest to win her. All the kings of the royal dynasty
are invited but nobody would do so including Shalya, Jarasandha, and Duryodhana.
Here Krishna tricks Karna into losing the contest. Nevertheless, Arjuna as a
brahmin wins the contest when his true identity Pandavas comes out. They bestow
Drupadi as alms to their mother Kunti commands them to share being unbeknownst of
reality. At that moment, they are under dichotomy. At last, Krishna clarifies it,
supports Kunti's proposal, and sanctions the nuptials. Finally, the movie ends on a
happy note with all siblings, marrying Draupadi.
