Arjun - The Warrior Prince HINDI MOVIE With Torrent
Josephine Heathershaw
The story is based on the early life of the Pandava brothers, loosely taken from the ancient Indian epic Mahabharata. The storyline begins with Arjun as a nine-year-old boy and follows him until his adulthood. It explores his life with his brothers in Hastinapur (his native city), his training and education, and his ultimate discovery of the warrior within himself.
She tells him that Arjun was a student of the warrior-sage Drona and that he learned the art of warfare from him. He was more skilled than all the students of Drona. None of his own brothers nor his cousins - the hundred Kaurvas - could equal him in the art. Duryodhana and the other Kaurvas despised the Pandavas, for they feared that they might usurp Duryodhana's throne. When King Dhritrashtra grew older, the rivalry between his sons, the Kaurvas and the Pandavas, intensified. Twice, Duryodhana attempted to kill all the Pandavas but failed. To avoid further conflict, Dhritrashtra proclaimed Duryodhana as the crown prince of Hastinapur and asked Yudhisthira to be the king of a distant unkempt territory of the empire.
The story then shifts back to the present-day Viratnagar, where the Pandavas are spending their year of disguise and are noticed by some of the spies of Duryodhana. According to the game's outcome, if any one of the Pandavas is found before the end of that one year, the Pandavas will have to again go for a twelve-year exile. The spy informs Duryodhana that the Pandavas are in Viratnagar. So he launches an attack on Viratnagar with the help of his bandit friends. The king of Viratnagar leaves to thrash the marauding bandits, but Duryodhana's army attacks the unprotected capital, and it seems that the young prince of Viratnagar is the only one who is left to fight. He is then inspired by Arjun.
Yudhishthira Yudhishthira / KankaVoiced by: Brajesh Jha (UTV Motion Pictures) (Hindi), (Walt Disney Pictures) (English Subtitled)YudhishthiraClick here to see Yudhishthira as Kanka"You were right. It's not just a city, but a great kingdom that we need to build. We will build it over these ashes... lord Indra's home on earth."
Yudhishthira is the First and the eldest son of King Pandu and Kunti and the Deuteragonist to the main character, Arjuna. After the death of Pandu, the Pandavas went to live in Hastinapura where they were brought up together with their cousins, the Kauravas. Along with his brothers and the Kuravas, Yudhishthira studied religion, science, administration and military arts by Acharya Drona, the Kuru princes' teacher and Master of Martial Arts. Because of his analytical and calculating traits and his righteous and religious views, he excelled in religion and administration. He is also a skilled combatant. His weapons are the spear and the chariot. After the Pandavas lose their new home to the fire caused by the Kuravas, they temporarily hide themselves disguised as monks. When they hear about the swayamvar that's been going on in Panchala, Yudhishthira devises up a plan to win the princess' hand and by that they'd recover the throne back and become powerful enough to take on Duryodhana. They win the swayamvar and the princess' hand, and return back to Hastinapura. When the king sees them, he announces that he will divide the kingdom into two. Giving his son the ruling of hastinapura while Yudhishthir, the secluded land of Khandaprastha. When they arrive at Khandaprastha, they discover it's a desolate swamp that seems uninhabited by any soul. As they go further, they are greeted by an unwelcoming frightened citizens. The people apologies and ask their king's forgiveness explaining that they were just defending their home from the bandits. Yudhishthir vows to help them and fixes the problem. With Krishna's help, the pandavas transform the forest into the kingdom of Indraprastha, as new king, Princes and Queen of the City of Gold. Where they all live happily.
When the day of his coronation came, the kurus devised a plan to dethrone him. It's customary that once a new king is being crowned, should he be given a challenge, he must not refuse. Thus the infamous gambling game of dice happened. As the game proceeds, Yudhishthira gambles away everything which leads to losing his new kingdom. For Shakuni, the humiliation of the Pandavas was not complete. He prods Yudhishthira that he has not lost everything yet. Bound by the game's rules, Yudhishthira, to the horror of everybody present, puts Arjun up as a bet for the next round. Playing the next round, Shakuni wins. Then Yudhishthira bets Bheem, then Nakul, then Sehdev. Lastly, he bets himself. Eventually he loses his freedom and that of his brothers. Unbeknownst to him that the game was rigged. Their penalty was to spend 12 years in an exile and a year in anonymity. And if they were found out in the last year, their 12 years of exile would restart again.
Along with his brothers, Yudhishthira spent his last year of exile in the kingdom of Virata. Adopting new secret identities and new lives, he disguised himself as Kanka, the king's advisor and dice game partner. Before the last day of the exile came to an end, the kuravas found out their hiding and launched an attack on the city. Presumably to steal their cattle. But in reality, they wanted to drag the Pandavas out of anonymity. Kanka, with 3 of his brothers, all went with the king of Virata to thrash the marauding bandits while Arjuna and prince Uttar went to face the Kuru army itself.
- All for Nothing: He kept on bidding in hopes of regaining some of his losses. But to no avail.
- Brains and Brawn: Yudhishthira and Bheema.
- Break the Cutie: During the dice game, we see him slowly getting stripped away from his power by his so called "family" as they break him down one gambit after another. Descending from the confident, lovable king we all root for into a helpless, broken, ruined man.
- Cool Chair: His throne looks like a peacock.
- Cunning Linguist: Yudhishthira knows many unusual languages. One of them is Mleccha.
- Founder of the Kingdom: He created Indraphrastha from the ruins of a war-ridden city and ruled it as a king.

- Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: He had hair before. But he shaves it later.
- How the Mighty Have Fallen: What Yudhishthira did was inexcusable. He preferred/was pressured to continue the game than to forfeit and lose his pride, screwing everyone involved. Realizing it was his lowest moment were he had to gamble away his brothers as if they were commodities. It's obvious that he was so tortured and ashamed while doing this.
- I Did What I Had to Do: Yudhishthira had no other choice but to raise the stakes and keep on betting until his 20th turn is up or he is all out of pride. whichever came first.
- I Gave My Word: Yuddhishtira gave his word never to back down from a challenge; this is a doubly huge issue because he is a Kshatriya(a warrior who abides by the hindu warrior-hood and creed), for whom such promises are very much Serious Business. He is challenged to a rigged game of dice and has to gamble away his brothers, Draupadi, and everything he possesses or rules.
- Important Haircut: In Hinduism, the underlying concept is that hair is a symbolic offering to the gods. It becomes a real sacrifice of beauty to shave one's head. It's also a symbolism of one's grief for the departed soul. In the movie, a lot of stuff happened after the ridiculing game of dice. It could indicate that Yudhishthira shaved his head to separate his past old self and every fault that came along with it from the new him.

- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Yudhishtira plays the Kauravas' dice betting game and gambles away everything he has, including his kingdom, himself, and his brothers. He ends up losing, the punishment being that the Pandavas must go into exile for a total of thirteen years and mustn't get caught by the Kauravas lest they have to restart their punishment.
- Parental Substitute: He becomes a sort of father figure to his younger siblings once their father has passed.
- Shorter Means Smarter: Compared to his younger brother Bheema, who is twice his size and taller than him. Yudhishtira is shorter and thinner than Bheema. He also prefers to analyze the situation first than charge into action.

He made luxurious homes for the inhabitants, who before, lived like homeless in ruins. Giving them proper homes befitting human beings and protected their city with armies and weapons.
