Namaskaaram Vadakkam Svaagatam Mubaarakam
Welcome To The Summary of the Months!
It's a sunny day in Varnavat and after the Pandavas and Kunti venerate Pandu, a messenger from Vidur of Hastinapur comes with a big sack of rice. Bhim is upset because there is no ingredients for kheer included. Mushak appears from sack of rice and flies to Nakul's hands.
The Pandavas get this close to uncovering the truth of the lakshagirh, but it's just not possible. But with SuperMushak around, there is no fear! When Bhim and Sahadev go to the kitchen to get some kheer for Mushak (he isn't super charged now). They get the kheer (laced with poison) and take it back to the family room. Mushak seeing the kheer, gets supercharged (poorvabhas moment?) and runs away from the kheer (after Arjunaaa tells Nakul that the Mushak wants to do something to complete his mission) ... dun dun dun Agent Mushak! The Agent uncovers the dripping oil and then eats the kheer (yes I don't get this either ... guess no phoorvabhas).
Purochan's son overhears Arjun's revelation about the Lakshagrih and tells Purochan, who escapes with his family and sets the house on fire from the outside. At this point, there is no tunnel, so yes - the Pandavas are trapped. After playing "Toss the Kunti" over the fire, and showing a solo scene with Arjun jumping and dodging the flames (to get to his family), Arjun reaches his family, who have been standing there waiting. Bhim's foot =hole-in-earth, Arjun's idea=Super-Pandavas-Punch=magical tunnel to barely the outside of a huge cliff, Bhim does a bloody punch =opening.
Meanwhile, Bhishma finds their weapons (since he found out about the plan by Adirath), assumes they died and walks through the city of Hastinapur.
Panchal: Drupad's Brahmin torturing and Yaaj and Upayaaj's kindness results in Dhristadyuma is born from the Agni Kunda! Since Draupadi has to be born and Drupad doesn't want her, he asks for a bunch of stupid things for her (like jeevan bar ka troubles, pain, opposites). But Panchali appearswith her endless sari following! Drupad tells her that he doesn't care about her, so Shikandini acts like a mature adult and takes her sister inside where Draupadi befriends Malini (the daughter of a servant).
Meanwhile, through escaping Ashwattama, the Pandavas enter a Mayavi forest. Hidimba and Hidimbi see them and drool for human meat. Hidimbi takes the guise of a beautiful girl and screams, thus awakening Arjuna who goes on a mission to find her. He brings her back, and Bhim is hit with Cupid's arrows. An eating contest ensues between Bhim and Hidimbi and then a burping contest. Soon the Pandavas find their way to the temple of Lord Vrkodar and Hidimbi, being in love with Bhim, tries to convince them to take the real exit. But Pandavas ignore her and enter. Bhim wins fight against Hidimba becoming King with Hidimbi as his wife. Hidimbi gives birth to Ghatotkach; the Pandavas leave.
Krishna "attacks" Panchal with his Kaumodaki Gada. Draupadi saves Drupad from the gada. After some bhasaans by Krishna, Drupad realizes the truth, Drona and Drupad becomes BFFs, wants his daughter to marry Arjun, and the preparations for the Swayamvar begins with the auspicious friendship between Krishna and Krishnaa. (Duryodhana becomes Yuvraaj)
The Pandavas, by fate, show up at the swayamvar and Arjun wins it.
She is taken back to their small hut, where Kunti tells them to divide up the dhaan (but NO! It was a "Kanya Dhan!" ahahaha). After much thought, Draupadi agrees to marry all 5, but Drupad shows up with his army of silence and says NO and takes back Draupadi. After guidance from Vyasa, the Pandavas set out to regain their wife. Krishna saves the Pandavas from Drupad and finally Drupad agrees to the marriage; but Pandavas promise a bunch of stuff to Draupadi.
When they make their way back to Hastinapur (moments before Duyodhan's raj abhisheik), everyone is shocked and disturbed by this polyandry. Bhishma is convinced by Draupadi, but Dhritarastra, ignores the light and instead allows Duryodhan to constantly insult Draupadi and the Pandavas. Arjun can't take it anymore so he lifts up his bow and aims an arrow at Duryodhana, but Karna stands in front of Duryodhana, his kavach shining like no other.
Bhishma gets angry and leaves the court, and Duryodhan convinces daddy to arrest the Pandavas. Bhishma frees them with his words and threat and agrees to the division of the Kuru territory, offering himself to Dhritarastra's feet for eternity so the Pandavas can rule some land. Draupadi suggest Khandavprasth, and everyone is so proud of her. But Dhritarastra's evilness is not at an end - he tells Yuddhistir that he has to have 100 kings accept his rule to be considered sovereign and Kunti will stay in Hastinapur because it's his responsibility *cough* HOSTAGE! *cough*
