Chhota Bheem Kirmada Returns

[Desiderato Merriwether]

TheNew Mini Series of Chhota Bheem (2008) began with an incredible storyline which started with 'Kirmada ka Keher' on 19th february 2023 which featured three episodes, each of forty-five minutes comprising of an interesting plotline. Kirmada finally returns to the action after a grand retirement of about ten to eleven years after The Rise of Kirmada (2012).

The world is made up of five elements: Agni (Fire), Jal (Water), Vayu (Wind) and Prithvi (Earth). These five elements are represented by five chakras which are situated in different corners of the earth. The reason for the existence of these chakras is to protect the world from evil. Many evil powers tried to snatch it, but none were successful. Then came the fateful day where all the evil powers merged together to create the most evil and dark being ever I.e, Mahashaitaan who is preparing for a big battle.

There is a festival at Dholakpur when all of a sudden, Tabora (Kirmada's son) steals all the agni of Dholakpur and it is later found out that he has been sent to Dholakpur by Mayanadri to divulge the location of the Agni Chakra, upon which Kirmada will be succesfully revived. When Raju gets injured by one of the goblins, Lord Krishna comes in the form of Gopal. Gopal foils each and every one of Tabora's ploys to steal the map of the Agni Chakra. Bheem eventually encounters Mayandri who steals his powers and transfers it to Kirmada, which bascially revives him in a sleeping state. Gopal, however, saves Bheem from Mayanadri, forcing her to retreat.

Indraverma gets to know the signs showing Kirmada's return and asks Bheem and Team to train themselves for the upcoming battle. Tabora, however continues his ploys. He manages to decieve Indraverma to divulge the location and lore of the Agni Chakra. Mayanadri creates a distraction and Tabora's past is revealed as Mayanadri takes the location of the Agni Chakra i.e, Prachand Jwalamukhi and flees. Tabora and Bheem have a battle where Krishna finally reveals his identity and frees Bheem from Mayanadri's grasp. Mayanadri and Tabora reach to the Prachand Jwalamukhi and Shaitan revives Kirmada to full strength.

Upon returning, Kirmada vows to exact revenge on the world which wronged him and tells his demonic army to attack Bheem and team. He eventually, forces Bheem to follow him and eventually throws him into the volcano to finally acquire the Agni Chakra. He acquires the Chakra and gets a fiery new form and power upgrade. Bheem, however, returns from the grave with a part of the Agni Chakra. A fierce battle ensues where Bheem has kirmada beat and tabora captured. Tabora gets abandoned by Kirmada who flees and gives the Agni Chakra to Shaitan where it is fixed to the door of the elemental chakras.

Lord Krishna is the divine avatar of lord mahavishnu and in the Chhota Bheem series, He is a resident of the magical city of 'Dwarka' where he is safe, as long as he stays put there. He is also shown to be in a magical realm of 'Devpur' where he acts as the guardian of the 'Chakrapashus' which are five great animal forms of the saviours of the five elemental chakras.

He helps Bheem and his team to overcome threats which are way beyond human capacity, like Kirmada and Mahashaitaan, especially in the battle of the chakraveers where he saved the earth from the scourge of mahashaitaan.

It is unclear as to where this lands in the timeframe but there was a big yajna performed by the asuras which gave rise to bhashak (and possibly, a part of his aura created vinaashbeej as well. To counter this, Lord Krishna's aura gave rise to Agnirakshak who fought against Bhashak and sealed him. However, Agnirakshak got infused with a few bits of evil and Kanha made him the door of the cursed realm, eventually sealing the evil under Sagarpura. Damyaan would later return to Sagarpura to free Takshak.

Nearing the recent timeline, The Great evil brings Kirmada back to life from 500 years ago. Kirmada, armed with his new magical powers and goblin army wreaks havoc on earth and conquers all kingdoms except for the kingdom of Dholakpur. Bheem and Kirmada have an amazing battle where Bheem fights valiantly, but Kirmada uses his treachery to take the win for himself. He then declares himself as king of dholakpur and subsquently, tortures everyone. Bheem and his friends break free from Kirmada's prison and eventually meet Dhuni Baba, where he tells them to ask lord mahavishnu for help.

While training for an eventual war in the jungle, Bheem's friends eat som e poisonous berries and Bheem goes in search for a doctor and encounters Kanha with a herd of sheep. Bheem, though worried and furious at first, quickly acknowledges Kanha's strength as Kanha treats Bheem's friends and offers to be his charrioteer for the battle. Before the final battle, Kanha also frees Kalia, Dholu and Bholu and arms them from launching a sudden attack from inside. On the eve of battle, Kanha's plan goes as planned as Kirmada's army gets routed by Dholakpur's sudden attack. Bheem and Kirmada have a duel where Kirmada loses. In anger, he flees to hell and acquires a mighty weapon when Kanha comes in between and gets struck. To everyone's shock, the weapon has no effect and Kanha reveals himself to be Lord Krishna and then gives bheem the wheel of the charriot which is then used as 'Kanha's sudarshan chakra' which anhiliates kirmada, turning him into dust.

A few years after Kirmada's downfall, the neighbouring kingdom of Patliputra loses it's royal king and queen and instead, faces a zombie like menace every night which grows worse and worse, of which the people deem as a curse. One boy of the city prays to Lord Krishna who comes to Dholakpur and asks for Bheem's help for which he gladly agrees. Bheem and Krishna's first night into Patliputra features a fierce fight between them and the zombie menace. They soon, enough meet the princes as well as a soothsayer.

Bheem and Krishna eventually solve the mystery of the menace, figuring out that it was all Kirmada's doing who possessed the soothsayer and tried to mainpulate the princes into performing a yajna to regain all his powers, on the eve of the full moon. He successfully accomplishes this and returns to an overwhelming size. However, by Lord Krishna's help, Kirmada is stopped once more and his deformed spirit is sealed into a crown by Krishna, himself.

Bheem and his friends are in Dwarka with Lord Krishna for vacation and as it comes to an end, they are attacked by wild cheetahs who are succesfully driven away by Lord Krishna. Before leaving, Krishna gives them some gifts and sends them off. However, calamity strikes as Mayanadri, an incredibly evil sorceress and Kirmada's sister captures Krishna by stealing a ring (Krishna's gift from Chutki) and mainpulates him to leave dwarka and captures him. Mayanadri, then takes away Krishna's power and brings Kirmada back to a physical state.

Bheem and his friends journey to Mayandri where Bheem finishes Mayanadri off and Kirmada's soul also get's destroyed due to a ritual that united them both. Most probably, the souls of Kirmada and Mayandri are destroyed, however, their spectral existence is yet undisturbed. Most importantly, Kirmada's soul is tarnished, but his consciousness exists still, in limbo.

Princess Indumati prays to Lord Krishna to unite her father with his childhood friends who all used to join a festival of weapons and delicacies at the old stone temple from twenty years ago. Lord Krishna comes to Dholakpur and invites Bheem and his team to visit the kingdoms of the three kings, Porsingha, Manikdesh and Jamnagri. However, the journey is not as smooth as it seems.

The reason is that Kirmada's consciousness that was stuck in a sluggish form in limbo, is brought back to an incomplete physical state by mahashaitaan who comes out to spread havoc. It is due to Kirmada's constant obstruction that Bheem and his friends have to take care of a flood in Manikdesh, a wild fire in Porsingha and a cyclone on their return journey from Jamnagari to Dholakpur. However, Lord Krishna ensures that they succeed in their quest and all the three kingdoms are invited for the festival as they leave their enemities aside and join together as friends once more, to everyone's harmony.

Lord Krishna, however, being omniscent senses danger coming and it sure does come soon as Kirmada gets more powers from his master, transforming him into his most powerful form with the most amount of powers, a bat like demonic creature, straight from hell with a sick green aura that spreads death and destruction everywhere. He also gets an army of mutated human like goblins and demonic bats. With such an arsenal, he wreaks havoc and destroys Dholakpur's border military camps. Bheem and Krishna are alerted by this presence and everyone prepares themselves as a huge battle ensues forth.

An epic battle ensues where Kirmada mortally wounds Bheem but by Lord Krishna's blessings, he gets back up, all motivated and powerful and rides an eagle (a survivor of an entire flock of eagles whom are massacred and cannibalized by Kirmada's troops). Bheem and Kirmada have a sky battle where Bheem uses his weapon and Lord Krishna's immense power to finally defeat Kirmada and anhilate his army. Everyone celebrates this moment for how great it is. The battle becomes so great that it becomes an historic event for the entire world, in the series.

The Historical day of Kirmada's defeat at the hands of Chhota Bheem has arrived once more and Bheem and his team are organizing a skit to celebrate the victory of good and evil. Lord Krishna appears midway through the skit and helps bheem to take down Kalia (dressed as Kirmada) and make the skit spectacular. Raja indraverma, himself, comes to praise the skit. However, Lord Krishna reveals that he is here, on a rather serious note and informs everyone that the king of Atangpur I.e, Zimbara (An anthrohomorphic magical tiger) is trying to release the great evil from the cursed land through the doors of Atraksh. He also tells everyone that Dhuni Baba was in a hurry and gave him a parchment with a message to be given to Bheem.
