Babruvahana

Babhruvahana like Arjuna at the beginning of the Kurukshetra war faces a moral dilemma Can he risk harming his parents While Chitarangada alerts Arjuna to shoot an arrow at their son and take advantage of Babhruvahanas momentary lapse due to a sense of devotion towards them as Arjuna did with Karna Uluci the Naga princess and yet another abandoned wife of Arjunas reminds Babhruvahana of the teaching of the Kurukshetra battle that in the battlefield there is no space for feelings even towards parents What Babhruvahana must do is to establish his mothers good name and thereby his own character This film captures this conflict spectacularly The eerie parallels with the moral dilemmas of the great Mahabharata battle aside here all the familial relationships in particular strong mothers and dutiful sons become exaggerated and demand our attention
