Detailed Update
Narad and others are worshipping Goddess Durga.
It is shown that the entire creation is destroyed. There is darkness everywhere. The first sound vibration is AUM.
Parabrahm– I am Parabrahm, the original seed of this universe. From one, I want to become many.
(In Taitiriya upanishad, it is written that Parabrahm willed, "Eko aham bahu syam" meaning "I am one. I shall become many.")
Goddess Durga comes from Parabrahm.
Goddess – Greetings to you, Parabrahm. Who am I?
Parabrahm – You are a form of mine. I am formless and you are with form.
Goddess – My job?
Parabrahm – Creating the universe again.
Goddess speaks to us that everything has come from her. Even Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh have come from her.
Brahma, Vishnu, Shiv and many others eulogize Durga.
It is shown that Vijaydurg's queen is running behind princess Sumukhi to eat. Sumukhi keeps on saying no.
Sumukhi – Until Ma Durga eats, I will not eat.
Queen (to king Garuddhwaj) – Sumukhi is saying that she will eat only after Durga Ma eats. How do I explain to her that we offer prasad to Durga Ma. Can a statue of stone ever eat? It is my fault. I keep on telling her about Durga Ma.
King – Why do you worry, queen? Our daughter is the devotee of Ma Durga from childhood. There must be destiny's hand in this. I am sure that she must have gone to Ma Durga's temple.
Sumukhi comes to temple. She finds lots of prasad kept there.
Sumukhi – What is this, Ma? Why have you not eaten? I think my mother tells a lie that you take care of your devotees.
Durga appears in front of Sumukhi and touches her face affectionately.
In the next scene, Sumukhi has grown up.
Sumukhi – Ma, when I was a child, you often appeared in front of me. You made me eat with your own hands. Why is it that you do not appear and you do not feed me? Have I done any mistake?
Sumukhi cries – Ma, have I done any mistake? Appear before me.
Goddess Durga appears there. She is sitting on her lion.
Durga – Sumukhi, as a person grows up, he gets affected by various faults. Then, how can he see the one who is faultless?
Sumukhi – Does it mean that I will never get your blessings?
Durga – It is not so, Sumukhi. I have chosen you to take my work further. Therefore, I will always be with you. I have chosen you as medium for slaying cruel people. But remember that this whole world is an illusion created by me. Take care that you do not get entangled in attachment and illusion.
Sumukhi – Ma, when I have your blessings, then I will easily escape the illusion. Please keep your blessings on me.
Durga – Bless you.
In the next scene, Sumukhi is running away. A hand is chasing her. She cries to Ma Durga to save her. Durga throws her trishul and cuts that hand.
Sumukhi wakes up. It was a dream.
Sumukhi comes to the temple and worships Durga.
(The recitation of Sanskrit verse by her needs improvement.)
Sumukhi – Ma, what kind of dream it was? I am running away and somebody is chasing me? What is the meaning of this dream? Do I consider it my bad fortune or good fortune?
Garuddhwaj asks his guru to explain the meaning of the dream.
Guru – The dream indicates that the princess is going to face huge problem.
Sumukhi's mama Durjay comes.
Durjay – When Sumukhi's mama is here, then my niece cannot face any problem.
Durjay's men Mohan and Sohan tell him in his ears that the king does not know that Durjan himself is the problem.
King – Guru, you were telling about some problem.
Guru – Yes, but this problem will not cause any harm to the princess because Ma Durga has indicated that she will protect the princess.
King – Is there a way to escape from this problem?
Guru – Yes, king and queen – you two have to keep the fast for Navratri.
Queen – Navratri is going to start after only two days.
King – Yes, queen. We will start the fast on that day.
Sumukhi – Father, I will also keep fast.
King – Yes, daughter.
Durjay thinks – I will take this kingdom.
King – Durjay, what are you thinking?
Durjay – I keep thinking about Vijay Durg.
He thinks – My sister is a fool. She does not know that I think only of my welfare.
King – Durjay, one should not dream with open eyes.
Queen – We do not have much time. We need to prepare for the Navratri fast.
Durjay – As you wish.
Durjay goes from there.
Mohan and Sohan – Mama ji, because of Navratri fast, Sumukhi will escape all problems. Does it mean that she will escape problems from you too? If so, then how will we see you on the throne?
Durjay – Those who try to walk before time never succeed. It is my ambition to become the king of Vijaydurg and I will become. I control time. I have never let time control me.
Mohan – But mama ji, you should remember that the king is going to get the princess married soon.
Sohan – The king has sent the princess's picture to Chandra Nagri's king Chandramukh for prince Surath.
In Chandra Nagri, demon king Kalketu's men are killing sages. Prince Surath comes there.
Surath – It is my aim in life to kill unrighteous people like you and save righteousness.
(He needs to bring more gravity in his voice.)
Demons – Then we will finish your life. After that, only the demons will be worshipped.
The fight starts. Surath kills the demons.
In Surth's palace
Chandramukh's guru – King, destiny has chosen prince Surath to hoist the flag of righteousness.
Surath comes there. His parents show him Sumukhi's picture. Surath is captivated by Sumukhi's beauty and he agrees for marriage.
Demon king Kalketu is shown.
Kalketu (to his wife Kalindi) – Queen Kalindi, when any demon is killed by a human, then humans get courageous and the power of demons goes down.
His younger brother Dhumraketu assures him that he would punish humans.
Navratri festival is being celebrated in Vijaydurg. Dhumtraketu comes there. He is in sky and is sitting in his chariot
Dhumratektu – I will stop this worship. But who is this lady(Sumukhi)? She is a goddess of beauty. When this chariot flies again, then Dhumraketu will not be alone. This goddess of beauty will also be there.
Dhumraketu comes down. Nine little girls stop him. They burn a wheel of his chariot. Dhumraketu flies his chariot again in sky.
(These nine girls must be Nav Durgas.)
Dhumraketu shouts – Beautiful lady, soon I will make you my woman.
Rate – 8/10
Good concept. Good set up. Good costumes except Surath's, who should be shown wearing more clothes.
But the actor who does the role of Surath needs to improve his facial expression and needs to bring a lot of improvement in his dialog delivery.
In a few places, I felt that the story is too fast paced.
