Pratap decides to get the soldiers ready at that gate. He looks again but cannot see Khetu. She goes towards the other sapaat. An arrow drops before Yaar Begh. They understand the hint.

2nd July
Surajmal tells Jaimal to return to his state and live there peacefully even if that means that he will be under Akbar. Jaimal refuses and tells him to help the Rajputs. Surajmal goes away.
The courtesans are discussing the situation. They go quiet when Jaimal greets them. Pratap wants to appoint a main commander as the war is on peak. He gives the chance to Raja Jaimal. Jaimal is touched by Pratap's trust in him.
Akbar orders his commanders to attack on Chittor's fort he wants to win the war asap. The commanders charge up. Pratap sends all the men at different gates. Akbar tells his soldiers to enter inside the fort from the crack in the wall. The soldiers march forward towards the fort.
The Mewar soldiers are all set to shoot arrows at the approaching enemy. Many Mughal soldiers die because of the attack from Mewar soldiers from above the fort. The Mughals shoot them in counter attack. There is another cannon blast. The ladies inside are tensed. Mughal soldiers enter inside the fort. Pratap goes down to fight with them.
Mughal soldiers kill a few Mewar soldiers inside the fort. Pratap gets angry. He kills all the soldiers that come in his way. Mughals blast a big cart full of gunpowder around one of the gates. Pratap and everyone at Chittor are heartbroken. The Mughal commanders smile. Pratap says Jai Ekling ji and gets ready to face all the soldiers entering from that area.
Khetu taking down the sabaats!- i salute women like Khetu who will go to any end to do good for her land and her people! I fully believe that she and women like her are able to do more than men when they are hell bent on getting their goal fulfilled, Khetu blew up one sapaat and was heading back because she was recognised but she goes back despite knowing that she will never come back alive and goes to the other sapaat and blows it up, which ends her life but she became amar! Even the symbolism of maa Durga and Kali was good! All in all best scene in weeks in my opinion!
