Queen of Jhansi

Manu shows some children an arrow that explodes on hitting its target. She also displays its functioning in front of Nana Saheb. He is extremely impressed and invites her to come and practice at a isolated spot. While practicing, Nana Saheb's horse gets scared and starts running. The sudden movement results in Nana falling off the horse and being dragged by the horse. Nana Saheb falls off a cliff.

Manu climbs down the cliffside to help Nana Saheb. At the palace, situation is quite tense. Vahini Saheb and Rani Saheb are worried about Nana Saheb. Manson accuses Moropant of instigating a revolt against the Britishers. Manu is worried as Nana Saheb is unconscious after the fall. She decides to take him back to the palace. When Manu returns to the palace with an unconscious Nana, panic spreads. Manu is accused of injuring Nana Saheb. Later, when Manson questions Manu about the explosive arrows, she tells him that she made them. Manson warns Moropant that if anything like this is repeated, his pensions will be discontinued.

Moropant makes it clear to Manu that henceforth she will not use the bow and arrow. He even prohibits her from going to the training ground. At the training ground, Tatyaguru trains Rao Saheb and tells him to watch Manu when she comes. Later, he is informed that Manu will not be coming. Moropant requests Vahini Saheb to train Manu in household duties. The next day, Tatayaguru comes to meet Peshwa and requests him to allow Manu to resume her training. Rani Saheb tells Nana Saheb that henceforth he will ride an elephant. Manu is extremely disappointed as she is not allowed to take the elephant ride. She challenges Rani Saheb that one day she will have many elephants of her own.

Peshwa Bajirao gives Nana a dagger and asks him to gift it to Manu as a token of their friendship. Moropant shows Manu's horoscope to an astrologer who gets thoroughly impressed by the unique position of her stars. The astrologer tells Moropant that Manu will enjoy all pleasures and riches in her life. Meanwhile, Peshwa Bajirao along with his family decides to go for a dip at Ganga ghat. However, their dip and prayers are interrupted by Vaadrayan, a powerful and mighty Kanyakubj Brahmin from Bithoor, who detests Brahmins from other clans. Hearing Vaadrayan insult Peshwa further, Manu retorts and cites a versa from the Upanishads that states the real meaning of Brahminism.

Vaadrayana seething with anger vows to teach Peshwa Bajirao a lesson. Winston introduces the new Commissioner of Kanpur Sir Moreland who is accompanied by his wife. She had witnessed Manu give a witty answer to Vaadrayan, impressed by her, she gives Manu a gift. Meanwhile, the astrologer tells Moropant further that his daughter Manu will become a queen and will go down in history. Later, General visits Bajirao's court and warns him to avoid any confrontation with Vaadrayan. Manu is angered by this and decides not to offer prayers till the matter is resolved. Peshwa comes and pacifies her. He announces that Manu and others will take Indu's shagun to Kanpur. Meanwhile, in Jhansi, Maharaj Gangadhar Rao's coronation is in progress. However, he has more enemies in his court and family than friends. Later, Gangadhar Rao tells his ministers to arrange for his trip to Kanpur to offer prayers.

A priest advises the Peshwa not to go to Kanpur for his daughter Indu's 'shagun' ceremony as the British forces have amassed there. As Gangadhar distributes items for popular welfare prior to leaving for Kanpur to execute a religious vow, a sniper's arrow pierces his chest. The assailant, who sports Company attire, evades royal capture and makes the king's aides suspect that the assassin is a Briton. Later, Gangadhar's loyalists deem that he needs an heir and a caring wife to stabilise his rule.

The British officials, who regard Gangadhar as their puppet, discuss the ramifications of the attack on him. Gangadhar’s minister says that the king must beget an heir soon. Manu attacks the girl whom Nana is smitten by, thinking that she’s a British spy. But she proves her innocence. Moropant informs Manu about the conspiratorial natures of Lachchu Bai, Krishna Rao, Janki Bai, Ali Bahadur and Sakhu Bai, who comprise King Gangadhar's extended family.

The British officials, who regard Gangadhar as their puppet, discuss the ramifications of the attack on him. Gangadhar’s minister says that the king must beget an heir soon.

Moropant informs Manu about the conspiratorial natures of Lachchu Bai, Krishna Rao, Janki Bai, Ali Bahadur and Sakhu Bai, who comprise King Gangadhar's extended family.

An excited Indu, who awaits her to-be husband's arrival at Sarsaiya Ghat, is crestfallen on seeing that he is an old widower with two kids. Manu urges Indu to reject the alliance, which Vahini overhears. Though Maina Bai responds somewhat sympathetically to Manu's plea, Vahini furiously tells Moropant that Manu's rebelliousness could ruin Prachi's and Indu's futures. A calm Vahini later explains to Manu how marriages unite diverse families, that the groom's character is relevant and not his age.

An emotional Maina Bai convinces her child Indu not to resist marrying Shyam Rao. As Moropant thanks Vahini for pacifying Manu and she urges him to fix Manu's wedding, a heartless British official extracts tax from the Peshwa for staying in Kanpur. The sight of the Peshwa paying tax on native soil disturbs Manu. Meanwhile, King Gangadhar seeks a new treaty for an autonomous Jhansi from Captain Fraser, a British official. But the Britons ponder if the king has exploitable behavioural weaknesses.

Courtesan Moti Bai rejects a smitten Gangadhar's gifts for her given by his helper Khudabaksh. Astrologer Neelkanth Shastri mistakenly gives Manu's horoscope to Tatya Dikshit, an aide of Gangadhar, and recommends Vadrayan's child Vaishali for Gangadhar. Gangadhar's black commandos set up his meet with Moti Bai, during which he lauds her musical skills and tries to win her heart. At a mela, as Manu sees Vaishali's anklet with Nana, a quarrel erupts between Tatya Tope and bigoted British horsemen.

Vahini takes Manu away from the mela to Sarsaiya Ghat though she is keen to punish the Britons for insulting Tatya Tope and an old man. She confronts British officials for violently mistreating natives though Vahini had told her that they are helpless British slaves. At the mela, as a joust begins between George, a British cavalryman, and Nana, Nana's initial successes lead to British trickery, which causes his loss. But Manu bravely continues the contest, stunning all, including Tatya Dikshit.

Even as Gangadhar woos Moti Bai in a royal manner and wants her to join his dance school, a wounded Manu defeats George. As George and his colleagues flee the site of the joust, scores of patriotic villagers stop them. Nana asks them to fulfil their bet, but George refuses to do so. Though Tatya lets him go scot-free, Manu, with popular backing, makes George place a turban on the old man's head and honour him as promised. Vahini fears ruthless British vengeance for Manu's daring.

Gangadhar tells Mr Fraser that a new treaty for Jhansi's autonomy is needed. As Tatya Dixit lauds Manu's exploits and says she is fit to become Jhansi's queen without uttering her name, Gangadhar wrongly deems he is talking about Moti. On being told about some British officers' arrival, Shyam Rao stops a nautch, after which they lash him so that he reveals Manu's identity. In Bithur, the Peshwa invites the locals to a feast to mark Indu's coming marriage and flings precious items out of delight.

Vaishali and her sister Kanta inform their father that they possess the peshwaship's gold coin. Vadrayan's fury heightens when his aide Dhrupad insinuates that Vaishali is smitten with Nana. At the Peshwa's 'Brahmabhoj' ceremony, Vadrayan urges other Hindu monks to abstain from eating the food and curses the Peshwa that he would lead a discredited life. A face-off ensues at the Peshwa's durbar between British troops and the peshwaship's forces when the Peshwa refuses to hand over Manu to them.

Though the Peshwa is determined not to hand over Manu to the British, Moropant brings her to the durbar and lets Commissioner Wilson arrest her for an interrogation. Moropant's selfless gesture for the sake of the peshwaship's stability attracts the gratefulness of pro-Peshwa forces. Taken to a dungeon by the British, Manu witnesses the British brutalities on Indian inmates. As Geoff Gordon is about to whip her, Captain Manson stops him and says that only the law has the right to punish her.

In a dungeon, Manu sees the ghastly treatment meted out to Indian prisoners, including landlord Shyam Rao. Manson hopes that the sight of the brutalities in prison would weaken Manu to such an extent that she would reveal to him the technique of making her special explosive arrows. Manu, who is inspired by the patriotic fervour of the detainees, promises to reveal the technique, but in exchange for the detainees' freedom. As the detainees are freed, a worried Moropant seeks to enter the jail.

Manu runs away from the British officials and allied native troops, threatens to commit suicide in jail, and refuses to reveal how to make her arrow bombs, which stuns Manson. Vahini urges the Peshwa to devote more attention to Indu's wedding and the guests. Manson, who is worried about the political fallout of Manu committing suicide, is told about Moropant's presence outside the jail. Nana and Tatya Tope inform Lady Moreland about Manu's imprisonment after Prachi counsels her father to do so.

Despite Harold Moreland's objection, his wife Christina gets an order for Manu's release from the Governor-General of India. Manson mistreats Moropant inside the jail and hopes that it would compel Manu to reveal her arrow-bomb's intricacies. Appalled by it, Manu reveals how to make the arrow bomb. She informs her humiliated father that the Indian patriots' mistreatment by the British is far worse. As Christina, Nana and Tatya see the blood-soaked jail cells, Manu prepares to use the arrow bomb.

After Manu detonates the arrow bomb, Manson's delight is short-lived as Christina enters the prison and gives him the Governor-General's order for Manu's release. Moropant explains to Tatya why Manu revealed the arrow-bomb's secrets. Later, as preparations are on for Indu's wedding, an enraged Vahini prevents Manu from entering the Bithur palace until she undergoes purification. But Christina resolutely defends Manu and says that Manu's heroism would have been lauded by British society.

As Vahini conducts Manu's purification, she is prevented from losing her balance by Christina, which leads to Vahini purifying herself. The Peshwa stops Vahini's vicious tirade against Manu's character by recounting the bravery of Bharat's female warriors. Later, the Peshwa urges Nana to toughen up psychologically and get inspired by Manu's courage. As preparations are on to worship nine girls in the lead-up to Indu's wedding, the Peshwa's assertion that Manu be one of those girls angers Vahini.

The Peshwa worships a glum Manu during the 'Kanya Puja', much to Vahini's unease. Manu eats a morsel of food as a mark of respect for the puja. Vaishali's mother meets Manu outside the puja venue and lauds her bravery even while lamenting the society's patriarchy. As Vaishali searches for Kanta in the palace and gets lost, Nana flirtatiously helps her. As Nana is about to leave for Kanpur with Indu's 'shagun' for Shyam Rao, the latter's aide tells them that Shyam Rao doesn't wish to wed Indu.

Shyam Rao's aide blames Manu for the cancellation of Indu's marriage. When Vahini condemns Manu's character, Nana says that he is equally culpable for Indu's plight. When the Peshwa absolves Manu, Vahini roars that Manu can return to the palace after undergoing purification. As Manu ponders Vahini's hurtful comments and sees Goddess Durga's idol being readied for 'Durga Saptami', Tatya Tope urges her to use her coming purification as a springboard for becoming an anti-British revolutionary.

As Manu undergoes ritual purification on the occasion of 'Durga Saptami', King Gangadhar performs a divine dance with Moti Bai to celebrate it. Sakhu Bai, Gangadhar's sister-in-law, tells her grandson Krishna Rao that it is his right to rule Jhansi and predicts later that a female warrior will occupy Jhansi's throne. Vahini instructs a bedecked Manu not to leave the Bithur palace until her marriage takes place. Moti Bai refuses to accept Gangadhar's precious gifts and seeks his help for charity.

As Narsingh discusses Jhansi's near bankruptcy with Gangadhar's relatives, Gangadhar accuses his sister-in-law Sakhu of plotting to kill her son and using his late elder brother's adopted son Krishna Rao to control Jhansi's levers of power. Sakhu and her aide secretly go underground wearing a veil to take a look at Jhansi's stolen treasure, which they plan to use to take over Jhansi violently. Manu seeks to burn a British flag on a flagpost on top of the commissionerate's building.

A veiled Manu burns the British flag on top of the commissionerate's HQ in the Dholpur village. Sakharam worries that the Britons may consider it Bithur's mutiny. The Peshwa feels that he will be held culpable by the Britons. Vahini, initially suspicious of Manu's involvement, assures him that Manu is guiltless. After meeting Captain Manson, Dhrupad provokes Vadrayan against the Peshwa by stating that the Peshwa plans to usurp his ancestral priestly rights by holding a puja on 'Durga Ashtami'.

Vadrayan tries to prevent the Peshwa from holding a puja. Tatya Tope stops Vadrayan from doing so. Though a reconciliatory Peshwa seeks Vadrayan's aid to hold the puja, a stubborn Vadrayan alone wants to conduct the puja, which almost leads to violence between his aides and Tatya Tope. Captain Manson, who is elated to see the divisions within Hindu society, threatens to arrest them and orders that the prayers stop until Bithur's law and order is under control. But Manu starts the holy prayer.

Gangadhar's astrologer lauds a girl's horoscope in front of Tatya Dixit and says that she will transform Jhansi's fate. Tatya Tope expresses to Manu that he lauds the person who charred the British flag. As Dhrupad forces Vaishali to wear the bangles he bought for her, she slaps him. Vadrayan expels Dhrupad as an aide later. On hearing that the Britons plan to install another flag in Dholpur, Manu sneaks into Vahini's room, steals a piece of cloth and develops a flag for a mutinous female force.

Janki says that she will not let the plans of Lachchu, Sakhu, Krishna, Ali and Gangadhar succeed. Gangadhar's astrologer tells her that if Manu weds Gangadhar, Gangadhar's rivals wouldn't be able to unseat him. Janki asks the astrologer to obtain Manu's horoscope. Manson, who unsuccessfully tests Manu's fire arrow, is told by Dhrupad that Manu has planted a flag near the commissionerate's HQ. Manson accuses the peshwaship and Manu of behaving mutinously. But the Peshwa and his aides defend her.

Vahini suspects that Manu is being untruthful. Vahini is en route to a cow-house with Manu and her aides to perform puja. Just then, they see Captain Smith whipping a fakir at a crossroad after Dhrupad informs Manson that the fakir is urging the locals to revolt. As the fakir is about to be hung the next morning, a veiled Manu renders a British soldier unconscious, disrobes him and frees the fakir. As Manu is about to return to her room, Vahini sees a shadow in the dark and thinks it is Manu's.

Manson sees a British military effigy hung at the crossroad and asks Smith to untie the Briton. Sakharam tells the Peshwa that this is a revolutionary act. Manson accuses one of the locals of involvement in it and predicts a hellish British response. As a Briton whips a local, Kanta sees Manu's missing dagger and sends it to her through Kusum, a flower-seller's daughter. Gangadhar informs Moti that his relatives seek to harm him. Janki orders the astrologer to duplicate Manikarnika's horoscope.

Moropant tells Vahini that he intends to go to Kashi with Manu's newly made horoscope to find a groom for her. Manu tells the Peshwa that she seeks expertise in domestic tasks. When Manson tells the Peshwa that the Britons are about to hang 20 Bithur locals, Sakharam informs the Peshwa that not one of them is a Marathi. The Peshwa successfully bribes Manson to stop the Britons from crushing the locals. But Tatya Tope's insinuation that Manson is easily corruptible angers Manson and the Peshwa.

Tatya Tope bends to pick up the Peshwa's gold coins from the ground to give them to a haughty Manson. Manu ends his humiliation. Dixit tells Gangadhar that he has found a bride for him. Manu keeps her horoscope in Vahini's temple and places Indu's horoscope in Moropant's bag without telling him as he is about to leave for Kashi as she wants Indu to get married. Gangadhar's astrologer shows Manu's twin horoscope to Dixit in sync with Janki's plot. Manson deems that Manu hasn't behaved mutinously.

Manu trains Kusum, Prachi and Kanta rigorously at Laal Tila to help them carry out their tasks as members of the 'Naari Sena'. After female villagers quench these girls' thirst, they seek vainly to recruit the villagers. Vahini spots muddy footprints in the palace and is told by Indu that Manu has returned with Prachi from an outdoor visit. Manu convinces Vahini that she was in Laal Tila to collect mud to buff Peshwa's silvery plate. Manu secretly enters Manson's home at night to punish him.

Manu goes to Manson's home, robs cash from his cupboard and leaves a note behind. When Manson wakes up, he finds it and decides to take action against 'Kranti Guru'. Manu tells Vahini of her dream in which she sees Manson hanging people. Vahini performs a rite to cast off the evil eye on Manu. Vaishali tells Nana that her dad is searching for a groom for her and they can't be together anymore. When Tatya Tope tells Manu that he wonders who 'Kranti Guru' is, Manu almost tells him that it is her.

Vahini searches for Manu's dagger to keep it under her pillow to ward off bad dreams. The Peshwa is shocked when he hears about the robbery. Later, the villagers tell him that they want to hold a 'Ram Leela'. He tells Sakharam to make provisions for it. Sakharam opens a box found in the treasury in front of Bajirao. He finds gold coins and a note saying that they belong to Bithur. Moreland berates Manson over the stolen gold coins. Manu puts some gold coins in a box that Kusum had hidden.

Having heard from the locals that Manson had taken a bribe from the Peshwa, Dhrupad tells Manson about it. When Manson finds out that 'Kranti Guru' returned that money to the Peshwa, he tells Dhrupad to find out who is 'Kranti Guru'. After a puja for his dead wife, Gangadhar is told that Shastri Ji has found a woman, Shwethambara, whose horoscope suits Gangadhar's. Janki gives a poisoned drink to Vish Kanya. Manson accuses the Peshwa of stealing the bribe money and of being 'Kranti Guru's' ally.

Manu, who is in charge of the cast for 'Ram Leela', decides to cast women in it. After some hesitation, the villagers agree to it. Manson tells Smith not to underestimate a strong Manu and that he has seen what she is capable of. Dhrupad tells Manson that Manu is casting women in 'Ram Leela'. The British soldiers whip an Indian for not paying a tax. Manson asks Manu to pay the tax for practising in the garden, to which Manu agrees. Manu goes to Manson's house and burns the tax register.

Notices put up on walls say that anyone with information on 'Kranti Guru' will be rewarded with 100 pieces of silver. When Manson goes to the Bithur royal palace to collect the tax for the practising of 'Ram Leela' in the garden, Manu gives it to him. At night, 'Kranti Guru' sticks another notice over the previous ones, which urges the people to back 'Kranti Guru'. Indu reaches the garden and fights with Manu, saying she wants to play the role of 'Sita'. But Nana tells her to play Urmila's role.

Gangadhar dreams that Janki Bai and the others kill him. While Manu and the girls rehearse for 'Ram Leela', Manu says 'Kranti Guru's' lines. Dhrupad overhears this and sees the same bangles on Manu's hands, which he found under 'Kranti Guru's' note. He realises that Manu is 'Kranti Guru'. Sakhu Bai finds out that the woman, which Janki Bai found for Gangadhar, is a 'Vish Kanya'. Manson plans with Dhrupad to catch Manu red-handed as 'Kranti Guru'. Dhrupad is angry on seeing Nana with Vaishali.

Manson catches Malang and tells the people of Bithur that he is 'Kranti Guru'. Shanta tells Vahini that the British government has declared a curfew and no one can step out of the house. Manson beats Malang and uses him as a trap to lure 'Kranti Guru' to save him. Dhrupad hides with a British soldier to catch Manu. But Tatya Tope sees this and leaves the cattle on them. Dhrupad falls down while the soldier escapes. Tatya Tope ties Dhrupad's legs and hangs him upside down from a pole

Tatya Tope understands that Manu is 'Kranti Guru'. Manu and Tatya Tope go to rescue Malang. Manson tortures Malang a lot. Tatya Tope and Manu use explosives and fight against the guards. The guards are afraid thinking that 'Kranti Guru' has come with his full army. Tatya Tope catches Manson, while Manu fights off the guards and releases the other prisoners along with Malang. The prisoners beat up the guards. Malang Baba and the prisoners are able to escape from Manson's clutches.

As Tatya Tope takes Manson outside the gate, Manson almost removes Tatya's mask. When Tatya runs away, a bullet hits his leg. Manu shoots arrows and wounds the soldiers. Manu and Tatya manage to escape. At Tatya's insistence, Manu heats a dagger and removes the bullet from his leg. Indu searches for Manu and finds out that Manu is 'Kranti Guru'. Manu expresses to Tatya Tope that, for the sake of the people's welfare, 'Kranti Guru' should die. But Tatya tells her that she is Bithur's hope.

Indu tells Prachi that she will tell everyone that Manu is 'Kranti Guru'. Prachi pleads with Indu, but Indu is adamant. Vahini sees Dhrupad hanging outside. Sakharam releases him and informs the Peshwa about this. Dhrupad is unable to explain to the Peshwa why he was behind the palace. Moreland apologises to the Peshwa and lifts the curfew on Bithur. Moropant tells everyone that Indu will marry the prince of Kashi. Then, the Peshwa praises Manu and promises to find a suitable match for her.

Indu apologises to Manu when she finds out that she got a match because Manu changed the horoscopes. Gangadhar tells Tatya that if Shwetambara is right for him, then he would meet her. Shwetambara comes to the palace to meet Gangadhar. She also brings along a painting that she made of him, which impresses him. Moti Bai is angry when she finds out that Gangadhar is going to marry a princess. When she confronts him, he tells her that he cannot make a prostitute the queen of Jhansi.

Manson challenges Tatya Tope to a sword-fighting match, and Tatya Tope agrees to it. Everyone, including the Peshwa, Sir Moreland and his wife, gathers to witness the match. Manson aims for Tatya Tope's leg so that he can expose his wound and let everyone know that Tatya Tope is 'Kranti Guru'. But Tatya Tope saves his leg again and again. Manu imagines Tatya Tope being caught and hanged. At last, Manson succeeds in cutting Tatya Tope's clothing near his leg

Tatya Tope wins the sword fight, and Manson calls him his guru. So, Manu tells Manson to touch his feet. Manson is forced to touch Tatya's feet by Christina Moreland. Angered by his humiliation, Manson tells Smith to increase Bithur's tax. Manu asks Tatya Tope how he hid his wound. He tells her that the doctor covered it with mud. Tatya tells Manu to be brave and take the lead to destroy British rule. Indu sees Manu practise with the sword. Manu asks her to join her army.

Manu tells Indu that she doesn't get to practice anymore. Indu tells her that Vahini Saheb is happy today and she will let Manu practise her sword fighting. Gangadhar praises Tatya Dixit for finding a girl whose horoscope matches his. Tatya says that Manikarnika's horoscope also matched Gangadhar's horoscope. Bopatkar, however, feels there's something wrong. He wants to meet Shastri Ji, but Janki Bai sends him away from Jhansi. She also tells Shwetambara to practise for the dance competition

Janki Bai is told that Bopatkar went to Kanpur along with Tatya Dixit as he had got Manikarnika's horoscope from there. Janki Bai tells Shwetambara that she has to win the dance competition and that Moti Bai dances well. As Manu and the girls practise for 'Ram Leela', Vadrayan lauds them. A girl, Kali, knows the lines of 'Ram Leela'. So, Manu calls her to take part in the play, but all are against it due to Kali's social class. Manu tries to make them understand that all humans are the same.

Manu prays before she goes to participate in 'Ram Leela'. Tatya Dixit and Bopatkar can't meet Shastri Ji in Kanpur. They are told to go to Bithur to meet Vadrayan where they can get Manikarnika's horoscope. Manu and the girls perform in the play. While Vadrayan purifies the well, he comes to know about Kali. He goes and tells Manu to stop 'Ram Leela' as Kali is there in it. The Peshwa also tells her that they need to follow the traditions and asks her to stop the play, but Manu doesn't listen.

Manu vainly tries to convince the people about human equality. As she is about to stop the 'Ram Leela', the Peshwa, who is moved by her words, tells her to continue the 'Ram Leela'. Sakhu Bai gives money to Captain Ross and tells him to look away from Jhansi for some time. Dhrupad goes to kidnap Vaishali, but Nana fights with his men. Vadrayan sees Vaishali hugging Nana. Vadrayan wants to take her home, but Manu tries to stop him. Manson hears the commotion backstage and wants the play stopped.

Shwetambara takes a snake and lets it bite her. Moti Bai's servant sees this and tries to tell Moti Bai. While dancing, Shwetambara attacks her, and she loses her consciousness. Gangadhar is impressed by Shwetambara's dance, and he chooses her as the winner. Vadrayan punishes himself because Vaishali hugged Nana. So, Vaishali runs away and jumps in the pond. Manu saves her. She tells Yashoda that they should unite against the Britons. Nana tells Manu about Dhrupad trying to kidnap Vaishali.

Manu asks Moropant what the meaning of love is. He explains it to her through Ramayana, a sacred Hindu epic. Manu tells the Peshwa that Vaishali loves Nana. Manu tells the Peshwa to fix Nana and Vaishali's marriage. He agrees to it and decides to speak to Vadrayan about it. Vadrayan decides that he will consult with Shastri Ji and marry off Vaishali to whomever he can. The Peshwa praises Manu and tells Moropant that he hopes Manu will be a queen someday. Tatya Dixit and Bopatkar reach Bithur.

After Moti Bai's servant dies, she tells Gangadhar that something is wrong. Gangadhar queries Narsingh about Shwetambara. Janki Bai tells Shwetambara to win over Gangadhar so that he can forget Moti Bai. The Peshwa takes Manu to Vaishali's house. Vadrayan insults the Peshwa and queries Vaishali. But Vaishali tells Vadrayan that she doesn't love Nana and asks them to leave. Nana hears this, and the Peshwa is saddened by it. The Peshwa tells an apologetic Manu that she tried simply to unite them.

Tatya Dixit and Bopatkar ask Vadrayan about his daughter. But they realise that Vadrayan's daughter is not Manikarnika. After Vadrayan tells them that there is no Manikarnika among the Brahmins, they leave. Because Nana punishes himself, Manu consoles him. While practising for the play with Gangadhar, Shwetambara needs the venom and goes to her room. She then tries to kill him, but Janki warns her not to. Tatya Dixit meets Manu as she performs a ritual, but doesn't know that she is Manikarnika.

Gangadhar invites the Britons for the play. Meanwhile, because Manu gets a dream about a king being killed by his own people, she prays for his safety. Tatya Dixit and Bopatkar go to Bithur's Shastri Ji's house, and they find Manikarnika's horoscope there. They talk about the bad relationship between the Peshwa and Gangadhar and hope that this horoscopic match will resolve it. So, they go to Moropant's house and meet Manikarnika at last. Shwetambara attacks Gangadhar during the play.

Assuming that Gangadhar is dead, Sakhu Bai goes to usurp the throne. But Gangadhar tells everyone that he had found out that Shwetambara was a Vish Kanya and had sent an unfaithful servant to take his place in the play. Sakhu blames Janki. Gangadhar tells Janki to prove her innocence. For Indu's marriage, Gangadhar goes to Bithur as the king of Kashi is his friend. Tatya Dixit gets a painting done of Manu from his memory. Manu tries to see Gangadhar but is unable to see his face.

Gangadhar gets a message from Jhansi. So, he tells Narsingh Rao not to let Sakhu Bai talk to anyone. While performing a ritual, Gangadhar loses his necklace in the pond, and it ends up on Manu's neck. So, he goes to the temple and prays for grace. He is told to offer a goat as a sacrifice. Manu also goes to the same temple. As the goat is about to be killed, she rescues the goat, which angers Gangadhar. So, he asks Manu to stop, but she carries the goat and points her dagger at him angrily.

Gangadhar is furious as Manu points a dagger at him. She tells him that he has no right to kill the goat and Gangadhar explains his action by stating that the goat is being sacrificed for an offering. Manu runs away with the goat and Raghunath orders the soldiers to catch her. Manu hides in the palace, but Moropant finds her and returns the goat to the soldiers. Gangadhar sacrifices the goat and to punish him, Manu mixes chilly powder in his food. Gangadhar doesn't turn up for the meal.

On her birthday, Manu goes to river Ganga and shows Moropant the necklace. At Indu's pre-wedding ceremony, Maina Bai tells Manu that she will also get married soon. Gangadhar is upset over losing his necklace. Lachchu Bai keeps Manu's painting in Moti Bai's room. Moti Bai tells Lachchu Bai that she loves and worships Gangadhar. Manu finds the sacrificial goat alive and learns that Gangadhar has changed his mind about sacrificing the goat. Manu sees Gangadhar whipping Shambu and gets angry.

Gangadhar whips Shambu, but Raghunath tells him that Shambu is a faithful man. Manu discloses the truth to the Peshwa that she had opened the horse's saddle. The Peshwa tells Sakharam to inform Gangadhar and Sakharam apprises Gangadhar that it was just a joke. While practising slingshot, Manu hits a small boy, and his friends challenge Manu to a kabbadi match. Manu wins against them. Gangadhar sees his necklace around Manu's neck, but he is unable to see Manu's face as she is covered with mud.

Raghunath finds that the necklace is with some girl from the Peshwa family. At a 'mehndi' ceremony, Maina applies henna on Manu's hand. Moti Bai writes a letter to Gangadhar, but Tatya Dixit and Bopatkar read it. Gangadhar tells Raghunath to find the girl who has his necklace and Raghunath asks Moropant to search for the girl. Moropant tells Vahini Saheb about the necklace, and she tells him she has seen it on Manu's neck. Upon questioning, Manu denies having the necklace.

Maina Bai gives gifts to the girls who apply henna for Indu. Vahini Saheb, Moropant and Manu search for the necklace and the Peshwa speaks to Indu. Gangadhar is invited for the ceremony where an invitation card is given to the bridegroom's family. But Gangadhar tells Raghunath that he cannot go for the ceremony without his necklace. Manu imagines a confrontation between the Peshwa and Gangadhar and the King of Kashi's threat to go back with his son. Manu decides to speak to Gangadhar.

The Peshwa tells Moropant and Vahini Saheb that the King of Kashi won't bring the 'Baraat' until Gangadhar Rao is present. Lachchu reads Moti Bai's letter and tells her that Gangadhar will return with Manu as his bride. Moti Bai tells Lachchu Bai that this won't happen. Bopatkar and Tatya Dixit go to Bithur's palace to show Gangadhar Manu's photograph. Gangadhar's pigeon throws the necklace around Manu's neck, and Manu throws it on the painting that Bopatkar and Tatya Dixit bring.

Gangadhar is happy to have found his necklace. Tatya Dixit and Bopatkar talk about Manu's brave deeds, but Gangadhar tells them he will not marry a commoner's daughter. Manu sees her painting, while Tatya Dixit and Bopatkar try to convince Gangadhar to marry Manu. When the King of Kashi asks the Peshwa to give Manu's hand in marriage to Gangadhar, the Peshwa rejects the proposal saying that he dallys around with prostitutes. Gangadhar overhears this.

Gangadhar is furious when he hears the Peshwa insult him, but Bopatkar calms him down as the 'Baraat' is at the door. Gangadhar sees Manu's painting and recalls her brave deeds that everyone has spoken about. Gangadhar decides to marry Manu and commands Tatya to speak to Moropant about this. Tatya Dixit tells Moropant that the Peshwa has rejected the proposal and he has to decide if he wants to see Manu as the Queen of Jhansi. Moropant is happy, while Moti Bai imagines herself as the queen.

Lacchu Bai, Janki Bai and Sakhu Bai are told about the message to prepare the palace for Gangadhar and Manu's wedding. After Indu's wedding, Vahini Saheb goes to a temple. There she meets Gangadhar who seeks her blessing for his prayers to be fulfilled. Moropant tells Vahini Saheb about Gangadhar's decision to marry Manu and that Gangadhar is ready to accept the Peshwa's decision. Vahini Saheb meets the Peshwa and convinces him to allow Gangadhar to marry Manu, and the Peshwa agrees.

Manu thinks that she will be like a servant in Jhansi. When Lachchu informs Moti Bai about Gangadhar's decision to marry Manu, Moti tells Lachcu she won't let it happen. The Peshwa embraces Moropant and informs him about his decision to let Gangadhar marry Manu and Moropant is deeply moved. At Indu's 'bidaai' the Peshwa blesses Manu. When Vahini Saheb tells Moropant to inform Manu about her marriage to Gangadhar, he tells her that it is the mother's prerogative to break this news to her child.

Vahini Saheb tells Manu that she will get married to Gangadhar, and become the Queen of Jhansi. Moropant informs Tatya Dixit and Bopatkar that the Peshwa has agreed to let Gangadhar marry Manu. Tatya Dixit tells Moropant he will inform Gangadhar about this. The Peshwa tells Tatya Tope that his disciple Manu will be the Queen of Jhansi. Manu tells Moropant that she doesn't want to marry Gangadhar. The Peshwa sends 2000 gold coins with Sakharam as 'shagun' to Gangadhar, and he accepts it.

Manu pens a letter and decides to run away. Tatya Tope finds the letter, and he searches for Manu everywhere. Moti Bai, Lachchu Bai and Sakhu Bai unite and plan to use Manu as a pawn so that she never becomes the queen of Jhansi. Accidently, Manu hides in a box meant to be Gangadhar's present that is going to Jhansi. Moropant tells Tatya Tope to speak to Manu, as he is the only one who can convince Manu to marry Gangadhar. Gangadhar decides to go hunting as the forests of Bithur enchant him.

As a sign of respect to the Peshwa, Raghunath persuades Gangadhar to touch the gifts. Gangadhar agrees and almost opens the box in which Manu is hiding and later, goes hunting. At her 'kanyadaan' a tearful Indu embraces her family and wants to meet Manu last time before she leaves. No one is able to find Manu. Tatya Dixit also wants to meet Manu, and when he goes to the Peshwa, Prachi blurts out that Manu doesn't want to go to Jhansi. Manu distracts a servant and escapes from the box.

Manu sees a woman plead to Gangadhar to save her. The British troops drag away the woman and insult Gangadhar. Gangadhar thrashes the British soldier and tells him that he will not tolerate the Britons harassing the Indians. Tatya Tope praises Gangadhar. Tatya finds Manu and states that he was impressed with Gangadhar's behaviour, so if Manu becomes the Queen Of Jhansi, she would be able to uproot the Britons from India. Tatya informs the Peshwa that Manu is ready to marry Gangadhar.

Lachchu tells Moti that she has to give an heir to Jhansi. The Peshwa calls Moropant, Tatya Tope and Nana to discuss Manu's marriage. Manson finds out about who will be the Queen of Jhansi. The Peshwa tells Tatya to go to Jhansi and find out about everything. Thinking that she will become the Queen of Jhansi, Manson bows to Prachi. But he is shocked and starts laughing when he is told that Manu would be the Queen. Manson insults Manu, but on Wilson's command, he apologises and bows down to Manu.

Wilson orders Manson to provide Manu with 1000 gold coins. When Manson grudgingly does so, Manu says that the money belonged to the Peshwa only. Motibai dresses up because Gangadhar is supposed to return to the palace. Lachchu gives her a herb to weaken Gangadhar so that Motibai can win his love but the latter refuses. When Gangadhar arrives, Motibai goes to welcome him, but he doesn't look at her. So, she mixes the herb to give him. Raghunath announces that Gangadhar will marry Manu.

Manu gets a dream in which Gangadhar gets bitten by a snake. Vahini mentions it to Moropant and he says that it could be a bad omen. Lachchu, Janki and Sakhu apologise to Gangadhar and congratulate him. Motibai writes a letter to Gangadhar and, instead of giving it to Gangadhar, is about to drink the juice to commit suicide. Gangadhar meets Motibai and drinks the juice, which has the herb given to Motibai by Lachchu. As the girls apply 'alta', they spill it all over Manu's hand, reddening it.

At a ritual, something untoward occurs, so the pandit ties a thread around Manu's fingers for Gangadhar's safety. Motibai performs for Gangadhar, but he loses consciousness. Lachchu tells Sakhu and Janki that Motibai will carry out Lachchu's plan. Sakhu has made arrangements for the presents not to reach Bithur. Fraser tells Raghunath that the East India Company is against Gangadhar and Manu's marriage as Manu has violated law and order in Bithur. As Manu unties the thread, Gangadhar falls ill.

A 'vaidya' treats Gangadhar. Raghunath tells Gangadhar that the 'shagun' won't reach Bithur on time because of Captain Fraser. Vahini notices that the thread is missing from Manu's hand. So, Manu searches for it and ties it again. Colonel Spears and Fraser accuse Manu of illegal activities. But Gangadhar takes a stand and supports Manu's actions. He commands Tatya Dixit to take the 'shagun' to Bithur immediately. Janki Bai tells Gangadhar that it doesn't suit him to marry a commoner's daughter.

Raghunath and Tatya Dixit arrive at Bithur with the 'shagun' with a message. But the Peshwa tells them he won't let Manu wed Gangadhar unless Gangadhar brings the 'baraat' to Bithur. Vahini feels sorry for the way she treated Manu. Moropant tells Vahini that as Gangadhar is facing crises in Bundelkhand, he won't come to Bithur, due to which the 'shagun' is being sent back. Moropant tells Raghunath and Tatya that the Peshwa has agreed to send Manu to Bundelkhand, but he won't attend the wedding.

Manu tells Raghunath that she won't wed Gangadhar as he insulted the Peshwa. But the Peshwa convinces her to. He tells her that he will first send Tatya Tope to Jhansi to examine its state. Lachchu, Sakhu and Janki plot with Moti not to let Gangadhar marry Manu. The 'vaidya' diagnoses Gangadhar with black fever. Vaidya says anyone, who applies the ointment, will get the fever. Motibai agrees to apply it. Manu gets Gangadhar's necklace as a gift. Lachchu tells Motibai to bear an heir.

Lachchu tells Moti that she will be able to change Jhansi's destiny by bearing an heir. Janki, Lachchu and Sakhu pretend to be united but have different plans in their minds. The Peshwa demands that Manu be treated royally, and Moropant be given a suitable position in Jhansi. Manu hears that Gangadhar's health is deteriorating. So, she prays at the temple and takes ash from there. Tatya Tope, Raghunath and Tatya Dixit leave for Jhansi. Manu catches up with them and gives the ash to Tatya Tope.

With the ash given by Manu, Tatya Tope continues his journey to meet Gangadhar. On seeing Gangadhar's deteriorating health, Moti feels guilty and decides to dance in her chamber until he gets better. The decision of giving Manu the guard of honour and helping her in her marriage angers Manson. A pandit in the temple informs Manu and Vahini about another way to help Gangadhar get better. Manu starts the task told by the Pandit. Moti Bai dances on glass shards for Gangadhar.

Manu finishes the task and falls unconscious due to a loss of blood. At the same time, Gangadhar regains consciousness. Having had a mysterious dream about a temple, he expresses his desire to visit it. Manu is taken care of by Vahini, who gives her another task to complete. Manu sets off on the task alone but meets with an accident caused by Manson. Gangadhar, impressed with Moti, takes her along with him to visit the temple. Gangadhar and Manu almost meet each other at the temple.

Manu finishes one part of a task at the temple but gets disappointed after seeing Gangadhar there. As told by Vahini, she doesn't talk to him. Gangadhar, unaware of Manu's presence, returns to his camp where Moti tries to win his heart. While Moti intoxicates Gangadhar at night, Manu gets worried when the lamps flicker as it is considered a bad omen. Manu fixes the lamps and sits down for her prayer. Moti makes her move on Gangadhar, but he walks away from her after a divine revelation.

The pandits find an unconscious Manu at the temple. Vahini and Moropant come to see her, but she doesn't wake up. Manson assumes that Manu is dead and informs his officer about it. As Moropant feels guilty, Manu wakes up. Moti is upset about the way Gangadhar has treated her. Lachchu makes fun of her. Gangadhar gets a marriage proposal for Manu and a letter from the Peshwa. Gangadhar accepts the gift from the Peshwa but is shocked on finding a dead lizard in it instead of a gold coin.

Gangadhar is convinced that Peshwa's proposal was sent to make him reject the marriage. Sakhu and Janki refute Tatya Dixit's claim when he says that the gift for Gangadhar came from their own province. Tatya Tope leaves Gangadhar's court with a rejection from Gangadhar. It is Moti, who had replaced the Peshwa's gift with a dead lizard. Captain Manson is shocked on seeing Manu alive while she investigates her accident. Later, Gangadhar meets Tatya Tope and accepts the marriage proposal.

Gangadhar brings a portrait of Manu and announces before the court his decision to wed Manu. Tatya Tope brings the Peshwa's gift for Gangadhar, and he accepts it wholeheartedly. Gangadhar answers Sakhu's query, saying that he accepts the Peshwa's wishes. Gangadhar summons Moti to the court to ask her to leave the court. Manu visits Manson after realising that it was he who tried to kill her. She tells him that no one will pay him taxes and informs him about her vow to drive the Britons away.

An angry Peshwa is worried for Manu after her accident. Vadrayan informs Bajirao about Manson's involvement in the trap and presents himself as proof. Bajirao asks Sakharam to send a letter to Fort William about Manson's intention. Manson visits Bajirao's court after being called by him. Bajirao confronts him about trying to kill Manu, but Manu asks to let Manson go for lack of evidence. Moti, upset over having to exit the court, vows to commit a final act. Manu teaches Manson a lesson at night.

Manu confronts Manson, making him confess that he plotted her murder. She thrashes him with a whip when he tries to escape. Moti requests a meeting with Gangadhar, but he refuses. She stabs herself in the court before Gangadhar, saying that he broke her heart. Manson and his officers try to arrest Manu. But Bajirao turns the table against Manson. Manson begs Bajirao not to send the letter to Fort William. Bajirao tells him that the decision lies with Manu. Manu conditions not sending the letter.

Manu decides to forgive Menson only if he will declare Bithur tax free, so he is compelled to agree. Everyone in Bithur laud Manubai as the Queen of Jhansi. Tatya Tope tells Manu that now she does not need to wear a disguise of Kranti Guru. Gangadhar Rao sends two maids to take care of Manu.

Khudabaksh informs Gangadhar Rao that Motibai would like to see him but he firmly refuses to see her. In Bithur, Bajirao and Moropant get very emotional because Manu would soon leave for Jhansi. Gangadhar Rao orders his minister to invite everyone for his marriage. Gangadhar declares in the treaty which he is about to sign that his son will be the successor. He invites Simon Fraser too for his marriage. Jankibai visits Motibai and provokes her to get rid of Manikarnika.

Samar Singh provides invaluable information to Manu - a woman residing inside Gangadhar Raos palace wants her dead.

Motibai welcomes Manu. She then taunts Manu that she would not be able to beget an heir for Jhansi because she is still a child.

Manu also has the proof to support her allegation - the gold coin that had gone missing from the palace.

Gangadhar returns the coin to Manu without recognising her. Manu vows to end the British rule in India and promises that Jhansi will be her motherland. A villager informs Manu that many times he has seen a woman dressed in black leaving the palace at night. Manu follows the woman and is shocked to know that the wall is actually a door that opens into Frasers premises. Manu is unable to enter as a guard stops her. Fraser is annoyed with Motibai for failing to teach Manu a lesson. Motibai has another plan for Manu and informs Fraser that Gangadhar would get angry to see Manu disguised as a courtesan and spying on him. When Motibai leaves Frasers premises, Manu follows her to the palace. Manu is shocked to know the woman is Motibai.

Manu learns that the inmate from Jhansis palace, who made several attempts on her life, is none other than Motibai. Motibai confesses that her love for Gangadhar Rao was responsible for her acts. Just then, Gangadhar Rao arrives and disrupts their conversation. The king fails to recognise Manu as she is dressed as a commoner, and orders her arrest. A group of eunuchs enters the prison and offers sweets to the guards. When the soldiers fall unconscious, Samar Singh rescues Manu and helps her hide in the kings chariot to reach the palace. Motibai informs a worried Moropant that Gangadhar Rao is on his way to meet Manu to perform the wedding ritual. Motibai offers to take Manus place and go through the rituals so that Manus absence is not noticed. A terrified Moropant agrees to Motibais plan. Motibai gets dressed as the bride and savours being treated like a queen. However, her happiness is short-lived when Manu marches in, much to the relief of Moropant and Tatya Guru.

The rituals get completed after Manu manages to reach the palace on time. Moropant orders Manu not to leave the palace until the wedding rituals are over. Fraser is surprised on learning that Samar Singh rescued Manu from prison. Motibai informs Gangadhar Rao that the person whom the king had sent to jail has escaped with the help of Samar Singh. Fraser reaches the palace and confirms the news. The British official provides further information to the King that Samar Singh plans to pray at the Durga temple later in the day. Gangadhar Rao decides that it is high time Samar Singh is punished for his wrongdoings.

Manu informs Tatya Guru that she is aware of the woman who had conspired to kill her. She assures Tatya Guru that she will handle the lady all by herself. Later, she apologises to Moropant for creating problems for him. Motibai informs Manu that Gangadhar Rao has decided to finish off Samar Singh for trying to kill Manu. Meanwhile, during the ritual of applying turmeric paste before the wedding, the king leaves it midway and decides to kill Samar Singh. Motibai is happy, while Manu is shocked.

Acting on the information that Samar Singh will arrive at the Durga temple, the British surround the place of worship However, they do not intend to kill the bandit as they have a different plan. When Gangadhar Rao arrives at the temple with the intention of punishing Samar Singh, a fight ensues between Samar Singh and him. However, Samar Singh only defends himself because he considers Manu his sister. The British capture Samar Singh deftly and replace him with one of their own swordsman disguised as the bandit. Gangadhar Rao fails to realise the British conspiracy. When Manu learns about the British treachery, she decides to rush to the temple.

The fight between Gangadhar Rao and the man impersonating Samar Singh gets interrupted by a huge explosion. When the dust settles, Gangadhar Rao spots a letter. On reading it, Gangadhar Rao learns that his opponent is not Samar Singh and that the British conspired to kill him. Before Gangadhar Rao can finish reading the letter, Samar Singhs impersonator is fatally shot. Meanwhile, Manu manages to escape with an unconscious Samar Singh. However, the British soldiers are hot on her pursuit. Aware that Manu is not in the palace, Motibai tries to put her into trouble. She tries to inform Moropant about Manus absence. However, Prachi prevents Motibai from meeting Moropant. Gangadhar Rao tells Raghunath that Samar Singh maintained a defensive approach throughout the fight. When Fraser learns that Manu has rescued Samar Singh, he orders a curfew in the entire area to prevent Manu from entering the fort. Manu tries to enter the fort with a group of women but the British surround the group.

Manu tells the British officers that if they force the women to lift their veils, she will complain to the king and accuse the officers of outraging their modesty. The women are allowed to proceed without being checked. Meanwhile, Motibai tries her best to make Gangadhar see that the girl participating in the prayers is not Manu. But when the bride lifts her veil after the prayers, it is indeed Manu. Motibai walks away in a huff. Gangadhar informs Manu that he has captured the bandit who had attacked her but is unable to punish him. Manu replies that because Samar Singh is repentant, forgiving him would be righteous. Manus answer pleases Gangadhar and he appreciates her wisdom.

Motibai mocks Fraser for not being able to catch Manu. Fraser informs Motibai that if his plan had been successful, then both Samar Singh as well as Gangadhar Rao would have been dead. Motibai is shocked to learn that Fraser was planning to kill Gangadhar Rao. Meanwhile, Gangadhar Rao orders Fraser to find Samar Singh but alive. Manu informs Tatya Guru that some people from the palace are supporting the British but she vows to save Jhansi. Fraser is furious after he finds out that Motibai has refused to meet him. When Motibai eventually does visit Fraser, he gives her a gun and asks her to kill Gangadhar Rao.

Fraser threatens to tell the truth about Motibai to Gangadhar Rao if she does not kill the king. Motibai is extremely worried because of her love for the king. During the mehendi ceremony (Application of the henna mixture), Manu recollects an incident which took place during Indus marriage where, the alphabet G was accidentally drawn on her hand, and she was told that she might get married to a person whose name starts with that letter. Later in the episode, Motibai is informed to get ready as Gangadhar Rao wants her to dance in front of Moghal Khan.

Motibai decides to stage a play of the legendary love story of Nala and Damayanti, along with her dance performance. After getting Gangadhar Raos consent, she informs Fraser about it. Fraser finds her idea absurd but Motibai lies to him that she plans to kill Gangadhar Rao in the play. Motibai also invites Manu for the event. Later in the day, Indu applies henna on Gangadhar Raos hand and insists that she will write Manus entire name on his hand. Motibai witnesses the incident and falls on the king, thereby wiping away Manikarnikas name from his hand. Manu, who witnesses the entire scene, is worried.

A girl named, Chimna, longs to see the future Queen of Jhansi and is delighted when she gets a chance to touch Manus hand. Motibai requests Manu to be part of her play, where Motibai would play the latters role. Meanwhile, after completing a religious ritual, Gangadhar Rao reminds Fraser to arrest Samar Singh as soon as possible. Samar Singh, dressed as a mendicant, meets Manu and reveals to her that Fraser and Motibai are conspiring again to create problems in Jhansi. Manu decides to find out what the conspiracy is all about.

Motibai bribes the priest to solemnise Nala and Damayantis wedding in the play in such a way that she would be married to Gangadhar, and no one would be able to challenge its sanctity! Chimna overhears and decides to inform Manu. Meanwhile, Motibai requests Gangadhar Rao to play the role of Nala in the play. Gangadhar Rao agrees because everyone requests him. Manu voices her concern about Motibais ulterior motive in inviting her to the play. Jankibai, Lacho and Sakhubai inform Moropant that Gangadhar Rao has organised a musical function where Motibai would present a special performance. They say that they wish to dress up Manu for the event, much to her disapproval. Chimna manages to enter the musical programme secretly. Motibai dances before the king and others, and collapses while shes dancing. She confesses to Manu about her unbridled love for Gangadhar Rao.

Fraser tells Lacho that he does not trust Motibai, so hands her a gun and asks her to shoot Gangadhar during the course of the play. Manu tends to Motibai who is unwell. Once she comes around, Motibai says that she must concentrate on her play the next day. Indu warns Manu not to be so kind to Motibai. Manu is unable to fathom the ulterior conspiracy behind the play. Motibai tells the priest her plan of action during the play. Chimna, dressed as a boy, is shocked to see Motibai in the palace. She hides in the storeroom and gets locked. Gangadhar warns Fraser to arrest Samar Singh before his marriage. Lacho tells Ali Bahadur about her plan to kill Gangadhar, and about Frasers support for her. Samar Singh, hiding in the other room, decides that he must find out about Frasers conspiracy. A jubilant Fraser presents Samar Singh in Gangadhar Raos court. Tatya Guru informs Manu about Samars arrest, and this gets Manu worried.

Gangadhar demands to know from Samar Singh why he didnt fight with him, and why he had freed the person from prison, but Samar Singh does not answer. Samar Singh recalls how he had surrendered to Fraser and been warned not to tell Gangadhar the truth because Manu would be in trouble then. Gangadhar wants Samar Singh arrested but cannot as it is against the British law. Manu vows to free Samar Singh. She asks Tatya Guru to do the needful because she cannot go anywhere. Meanwhile, Lacho tells her son, Ali Bahadur, that she will kill the king during the play. Chimna finally manages to escape and meets Manu to inform her about Motibai engaging a priest to solemnise her wedding with Gangadhar. She says that the staging of the drama is a part of the plan because Motibai intends to marry Gangadhar Rao during the play.

Motibai and Gangadhar Rao rehearse their lines for the play. The King is impressed with Motibais acting. Meanwhile, Manu vows that she would not let Motibai succeed in her plan. Tatya Guru warns Fraser not to challenge Queen Manikarnika. He threatens Fraser of dire consequence if he continues to torture Samar Singh. Later, Fraser asks Samar Singh why Manu wants to save him but he remains silent. When Manu prays in front of the Goddess for strength, the sword on the deity falls. Manu drags Motibai to Gangadhars court and exposes the courtesan in front of him and the assembly. She says that Motibai was an accomplice of the British and had plotted with them to kill Gangadhar. A furious Gangadhar Rao orders his men to imprison Motibai, and sentences her to death.

Motibai is hanged to death. Manu comes back to reality with a jolt. She keeps the sword back near the deity and says that she will find another way to punish Motibai but would never take her life. Samar Singh lures a jail guard with hidden treasure and seeks his help in escaping from prison. Fraser tests Lachos archery skills and warns her that if she fails to kill the king and gets caught, then she would stand to lose her son. Samar Singh dressed as an English officer overhears this. Moropant refuses to let Manu watch the play, so she gets very worried. Jankibai and Indu are given flowers to be showered on Motibai and Gangadhar at the end of the play but they are not pleased about it. Sakaram comes to Jhansi and gives Moropant the gifts sent by Bajirao. Meanwhile, Lacho conceals the poisonous arrow in a musical instrument. The play begins and the entire hall is packed with court officials. Motibai vows that only she will be Gangadhars wife and the Queen of Jhansi.

Moropant takes Manu away to meet Sakaram. Sakaram shows her the gifts that Bajirao has sent for her. Samar Singh disguised as one of the gift bearers informs Manu that Lacho has once again conspired with Fraser to kill the king during the course of the play. A worried Manu informs Tatya Guru about Lachos plan to kill the king, and about Motibais plot to turn the drama into a reality! Tatya Guru goes searching for Lacho. Motibai picks a poison bottle and vows that history will remember how a courtesan died in the arms of her loved one after marrying him, and how only she will be known as the Queen of Jhansi. As per the legendary tale of Nala-Damayanti, in the final scene of the play, Gangadhar appears as Nala in nine different forms. Lacho aims her arrow but is unsure who the real king is, so she waits for Damayanti to garland her loved one. Meanwhile, a maid sees Motibai lying unconscious.

During the play, Manu takes over Motibais character. Manu risks her life and saves Gangadhar from the arrow shot by Lacho. Everyone thinks that it is Motibai who has protected Gangadhar. Even Gangadhar thinks that it was Motibai who saved him as Manu manages to get away. Lacho is caught red-handed by Tatya Tope who gets her before Gangadhar. Everyone is shocked. Ali Bahadur pretends to get angry and assaults Lacho. Gangadhar orders Lachos arrest. Gangadhar praises Motibai and rewards her.

Moropant is shocked when he learns that Manu saved Gangadhar Rao. Gangadhar is shocked that Lacho conspired to kill him. He asks Lacho who the brain behind this conspiracy is. Lacho does not tell him anything. Jankibai tries to point out to Gangadhar that from the time he decided to marry Manu, his life has been in danger. Motibai is worried that Lacho might name her as a conspirator. Manu sends a letter to Gangadhar Rao praising Motibai and her bravery. Motibai feels guilty.

Gangadhar tells Motibai that Manu has praised her act of bravery. Motibai breathes a sigh of relief. Fraser is angry at Ali Bahadur as he has failed to get Lacho out of jail. Fraser is worried that Lacho might reveal his involvement in the conspiracy. Motibai wonders why Manu didnt tell Gangadhar the truth. Manu tells her that she is impressed with Motibais love for Gangadhar Rao. Motibai decides to teach Fraser a lesson. She attacks him but gets overpowered. Manu arrives there at the nick of time and saves Motibai from Fraser. Fraser turns the tables on Manu and is about to shoot Manu.

Fraser is about to shoot Manu, but Tatya Tope rescues her. Fraser is surrounded by the Nari Sena (Womens Army) and Samar. Manu warns Fraser that if he does not mend his ways, he will be taught a lesson. Motibai is moved by Manus gesture. She whips herself as repentance for her deeds. Manu feels sorry for Motibai when she comes to know of how Motibai has punished herself. She worries that Motibai may try to harm herself. Motibai is very dejected and tries to commit suicide. Khudabaksh saves her.

Motibai apologises to Manu for trying to harm her. Manu tells Motibai that she is still like her elder sister. Motibai pledges her undying support to Manu. Gangadhar asks Lacho who hatched the conspiracy to kill him; Lacho denies that anyone has helped her. Aaishri comes back from her self-imposed exile. Gangadhar shows Lacho bloodstained clothes of Ali. Lacho is shocked and tells Gangadhar about Fraser. But Ali Bahadur is not dead; it was a ploy used by Gangadhar to know the truth. Gangadhar banishes Lacho and Ali from Jhansi as punishment. Gangadhar Rao tells Fraser that he knows who the conspirator is but still tells him that he is in charge of the security of the future Queen of Jhansi.

Kranti Guru sends a letter to Gangadhar that she will be present in the court, provided Marshall is present too. Motibai is shocked to know that Kranti Guru has to be present in the court. Moropant tries to dissuade Laxmibai from going to the court as Kranti Guru. Even Motibai tells her that the people of Jhansi need a revolutionary like Kranti Guru. But Laxmibai is firm in her decision. Marshall is happy that Kranti Guru will finally be destroyed. Everyone prays for a miracle which will save Laxmibai. Laxmibai meets Gangadhar and tries to talk about Kranti Gurus appearance in the court. Gangadhar tells her that he does not believe that Kranti Guru will appear in court and that if she does, she will be severely punished. Laxmibai assures Gangadhar that if he ever feels, she has not done things according to her stature as a queen, then the reason will be for the welfare of Jhansi and its people. Laxmibai seeks Gangadhars blessing.

Laxmibai decides that she may never return to Jhansi, yet she must protect her subjects, so she decides to present herself in Gangadhars court. Gangadhar asks Moropant to read the charges levied against Kranti Guru. Meanwhile, when Marshall learns that Kranti Guru has appeared in Gangadhars court, Marshall stabs Samar Singh!

The lookalike is scared thinking about the consequence if Gangadhar catches her lie. However, a lady in hiding asks her to continue with the lie. Tatya Guru, Indu and Prachi come to Jhansi to meet Manu but when the lookalike brushes off Prachi, the latter declares that she isn't Manu! Motibai regains consciousness and informs everyone that the lookalike is Jhalkari. She narrates how she had seen Jhalkari on the way to her prayers. Motibai had decided to bring her to the palace and keep her as the Queen of Jhansi to save Laxmibai's marriage. Moropant informs Tatya Guru, that even he had helped Motibai but hadn't informed Manu. Motibai then tells Tatya Guru how she had received a letter that said Jhalkari's father wanted to meet her but on the way, she had got hit on the head. Meanwhile, Kranti Guru reaches the building and decides to follow Marshall to know about Samar Singh's whereabouts.

Marshall kills his soldier who had betrayed him in Gangadhar's court and vows to find Kranti Guru. Marshalls men dress as civilians to trace her. Motibai apologises to Laxmibai for getting Jhalkari to the palace. However, she says that her intentions were noble. Motibai had come to Jhalakri's house and requested her father to allow Jhalkari to impersonate the Queen of Jhansi for a while. Lacho and her son who were hiding had later threatened Jhalkari to be the queen if she wanted to protect her family. Shivram invites Gangadhar and Aaishri for his daughter Chimnabais wedding with Moropant. Tatya Guru threatens Jhalkari to reveal the name of the person at whose behest she was continuing with the act, but Aaishri walks in just then. Later, when Aaishri sees Motibai in the palace, she reminds Motibai that courtesans are not allowed in the palace.

Sakhubai threatens Jhalkari to listen to her, or her family would be in deep trouble. When Jhalkari voices her worries to Sakhubai, she replies that none can enter the Commissionerate. She reveals that Jhalkari would mix explosives during the prayers and hand it to the king. When Gangadhar would offer it in the fire, the ensuing explosion would kill him. Sakhubai wonders how Jhalkari still has the scar and wipes her face. She gets a shock of her life when she realises that it is not Jhalkari but the queen! Laxmibai escapes. Meanwhile, Gangadhar's hand gets accidentally burnt, so Jankibai displays a lot of concern. Seeing this, Jhalkari confides the truth to Jankibai about her identity and about Sakhubai and Lachos ploy to kill Gangadhar. However, Jhalkari is stunned when she realises that even Jankibai is supportive of Lacho and Sakhubais plan. Kranti Guru and Tatya Guru fight the men in the Commissioners building.

Laxmibai and Tatya Guru free Jhalkari's father and brother. Jhalkari's father pleads with Laxmibai to free Jhalkari once, and they would leave Jhansi forever. Marshall is furious and says that they must have gone to Ganesha's temple. A worried Jhalkari goes to Aaishri and confides the truth to her. However, Jhalkari gets shocked to see that it is Lacho sitting in the guise of Aaishri! Lacho warns Jhalkari that she would kill her father and brother if she did not do as told. An upset Jhalkari finally decides not to worry about the consequence and tell the king the truth. She tries to expose her scar to him but Sakhubai covers her face. Meanwhile, Laxmibai meets Prachi and her other confidantes and says that she must reach the temple. The king waits for his queen to attend the religious ceremony but when Jhalkari heads towards him, she trips, and he holds her.

The king does not see the mark on her face and asks her to be careful. Nusrat informs Lacho that Kranti Guru had escaped with Jhalkaris father and brother. Marshall alerts his men dressed as civilians to keep a watch for Kranti Guru. Marshall spots Motibai with a girl and realises that she must be the Queen of Jhansi, so he chases them. Marshall and his men surround them but when he unveils the girls face, he sees that it isnt the queen. Meanwhile, at the religious ceremony, Jhalkari is asked to bring the offerings for the king. Jhalkari suggests to the king to ask the elders Sakhubai and Jankibai to make the offerings first so that the family is blessed. Sakhubai realises that the girl is Laxmibai, not Jhalkari. But the shrewd Sakhubai suggests that Aaishri is the eldest and most respected member of the family, so she must make the offerings. Aaishri agrees. A worried Laxmibai then takes a knife from nearby and holds it near the king. Aaishri sees this and is shocked.

Sakhubai and Jankibai make the offerings. An explosion ensues and they get burnt. Gangadhar thanks her for saving their lives once again. However, the king is worried about the mounting conspiracies against him. Indu is stunned to see two identical people. Laxmibai explains to her how Motibai had helped her go to the Ganesha temple, and how she had replaced Jhalkari to reach the ceremony. Jhalkari thanks Laxmibai and promises her that she is willing to do anything for her. Moropant too is happy to see his daughter back. A delighted Prachi informs Indu that she will celebrate her birthday with great splendour the next day. Laxmibai tells Gangadhar that untoward incidents in Jhansi have increased from the time Marshall has assumed office. Laxmibai goes to Sakhubai and Jankibai to warn them that if they ever think of harming Gangadhar again, then she would kill them. Aaishri overhears.

Laxmibai covers up by telling Aaishri that she would kill those who would conspire against the king. Gangadhar accuses Marshall of spreading terror in Jhansi and warns him that if such an act is repeated, then he would be thrown out of Jhansi. Nobody wishes Prachi on her birthday, so she is very disappointed. Prachi goes with a plea to the king that everyone who forgot her birthday be punished. However, Prachi is delighted when everybody surprises her with gifts. Meanwhile, at the Commissionerate, a British officer informs Marhsall that the villagers were drawing water from their private land. Having found a reason to needle Laxmibai again, Marshall shouts at the villagers and thrashes them. Just then, Kranti Guru arrives and drags Marshall. Both of them then have a sword fight, and Laxmibai wins. However, she gives Marshall a chance and asks him to leave Jhansi.

An injured Marshall comes to Gangadhars court and informs him that he would be leaving Jhansi for good. The villagers taunt Marshall for being a coward. Tatya Guru accompanies Marshall to make sure that he is out of Jhansis border. Meanwhile, the king gifts his queen a grand necklace, and she promises that she will have it removed only after her death. The painter at the palace sketches a portrait of the queen and king as well as that of Prachi. Moropant and Laxmibai are delighted and surprised to see Vahini Saheb grace the occasion of Moropants wedding. Aaishri taunts Vahini Saheb that Laxmibai was ignorant about the ways of a royal family, so she had to make great efforts to teach Laxmibai the same. Gangadhar insists that Vahini Saheb wait to till the Virat Mahotsav (A festival worshipping Goddess Durga). Moropant and Chimnabai get married. On the other hand, Marshall refuses to accept defeat and vows to destroy Jhansi.

When Laxmibai welcomes Vahini Saheb to the palace and washes her feet, Aaishri walks in and taunts Vahini Saheb that its not befitting on the Queen of Jhansi to indulge in something so belittling. Vahini Saheb retorts that it is a mark of respect for ones elders. Aaishri taunts Vahini Saheb that the norms of her family are far superior. Meanwhile, impressed with the portrait of the king and queen, Gangadhar rewards Sukhlal, the painter, handsomely. Prachi too flaunts her portrait but regrets that Manu is not with her in it. Gangadhar insists that Vahini Saheb stay back for the festivity of Goddess Durga. Gangadhar asks Laxmibai to do the honours of pulling the chariot of the goddess first. Sleeman is surprised to see Marshall back in Jhansi, so Marshall informs him about his plot to kill Laxmibai. While Laxmibai is pulling the rope, an accomplice of Marshall plants a bomb on the rope and lights its string. Marshall and Sleeman wait in anticipation for the bomb to explode.

Prachi complains to Laxmibai that she is unable to touch the rope, so Laxmibai gives her, her place. While Prachi is pulling the rope, she notices Marshall with his face covered and shouts out to Laxmibai. However, Laxmibai is unable to hear her amidst the noise and fanfare. The bomb detonates and Prachi is killed along with other people. Everybody is devastated with Prachis death. Preparations for Prachis last rites are on, and her foot and hand imprint is taken. Meanwhile, Marshall is furious that Laxmibai has escaped death once again. Sleeman suggests that he go underground for a few days to escape Laxmibais wrath. On the other hand, Gangadhar suddenly realises that Laxmibai is missing, so he personally goes to fetch her. When she does not open the door, Gangadhar orders that it be broken open. Aaishri sees a lifeless Laxmibai sitting and says that its important that she breaks down.

Vahini Saheb tries her to best to make Laxmibai cry and see Prachi for one last time but Laxmibai remains unmoved. Gangadhar and Aaishri too attempt to bring her out of her stupor but of no avail. Aaishri says that it was Gods will but a furious Vahini Saheb retorts that she does not believe in a God who snatched an innocent child away. Prachi is cremated, and an air of gloom descends on everyone. Bajirao and Nana Saheb attend the funeral. Gangadhar returns to Laxmibai and tells her the teachings of Lord Krishna about death. He suggests that she go and collect Prachi's ashes. Laxmibai visits the crematorium and vows that she would not immerse Prachi's ashes until she sought vengeance for Prachi's death.

Gangadhar orders his men to find the culprit of the heinous act immediately. Laxmibai refuses to give Prachis ashes to Vahini Saheb and declares that she would not immerse them until she brings justice for Prachi. Vahini Saheb begs Laxmibai to vent out her pain and cry. Laxmibai remains steadfast and refuses to give the ashes even to Bajjirao. Gangadhar promises Laxmibai to catch the culprit soon. When Sleeman comes to meet Gangadhar, the latter accuses Sleeman of looting them in the name of security. Sleeman retorts that internal security is not the concern of the British. It is announced that anyone who informs the king about the culprit would be awarded 5000 gold coins. Meanwhile, the other guards realise that their colleague, Lallan, knows how to make explosives and was not present on duty on the day of the blast. However, a scared Lallan clarifies that being a staunch devotee of the goddess; he had gone to attend the procession. Gangadhar, disguised as a guard, overhears.

The Prime Minister and Raghunath inform Gangadhar that they have found no lead yet. It is announced that the reward for any information about the blast has been increased from 5000 gold coins to 8000. Somebody in the crowd utters Lallans name. Just then, Marshall who is in disguise takes Lallan away. Lallan retorts that he will tell the king the truth, so Marshall gets angry. Gangadhar, disguised as a commoner, follows Lallan but loses track. A murder confirms Gangadhar's suspicion about a conspiracy. Gangadhar then sees something in Lallan's hand. On the other hand, Marshall sees one medal missing from his coat.

The Prime Minister informs Gangadhar that the medals for British officers are made by Jhansi's goldsmith, Samir Chandra. After Samir Chandra reads the initials on the medal, the Prime Minister says that it belongs to Marshall. Gangadhar asks the Prime Minister to give the 8000 gold coins to Lallan's wife. Gangadhar refrains from telling Laxmibai about Marshall for he fears she would ruin herself in flames of vengeance. A harried Sleeman denies that Marshall is in Jhansi despite being shown the medal by Gangadhar. A furious Sleeman orders Marshall to leave Jhansi immediately. Meanwhile, Lallan's wife is grateful for the gold coins, and thanks Laxmibai for being so understanding in spite of Lallan betraying her family at the behest of a British officer. When Laxmibai asks her who the officer was, Lallan's wife tells her that the British officer had one gold tooth. A shocked Laxmibai then recollects Prachi shouting out to her about Marshall at the procession.

The Prime Ministers spy informs the king that Marshall is in the Commissionerate and the British plan to take Marshall away from Jhansi at the earliest. Laxmibai tells the king that such criminals deserve a death penalty and requests him to grant her the right to punish the culprit. He assures her that he would bring the culprit to her soon. Laxmibai tells her maids that she wishes to bathe and purify herself before the king brings the culprit to her but says that she would wash her face only after Prachi has been given justice. Tatya Guru and Kranti Guru set out to kill Marshall, and are surprised to see Samar Singh join them. The three get ready to face the challenge of finishing off Marhsall.

Kranti Guru, Tatayguru and Samar aim their arrow to destroy the British ammunition but Gangadhar destroys it first. They are not able to see Gangadhar but join him in attacking the British. The officers get afraid seeing Kranti Gurus yellow flag. Kranti Guru, Tatayguru and Samar go to attack Marshall but get surrounded by the British soldiers. However, Gangadhar with his face covered comes to their rescue. A fierce battle ensues between the British soldiers and the four of them. Meanwhile, Sleeman brings the dead bodies of his soldiers to Gangadhar and demands justice. Raghunath reads Kranti Gurus letter that states she will punish Marshall within a day, and anybody who saves Marshall would meet with the same fate.

Marshall asks the security guards to leave from the church because he is sure that when he was not attacked during the night, nobody would so, during the day! The procession of the goddess is underway, and the king tells Aaishri that he is hoping it goes off well this time. Kranti Guru and her army vow to finish off Marshall. Marshall goes out of the church and is confronted by Kranti Guru. He shoots her but she is unharmed. Kranti Guru narrates how her army had changed the bullets from his pistol. She then aims a pistol at him.

Kranti Guru, Tatya Guru and Samar kill Marshall. People shower milk as offerings on Kranti Guru as a mark of gratitude and in the process, Kranti Gurus veil slips. The people realise that Kranti Guru is none other than their queen. A furious Sleeman demands to know where Kranti Guru is, and every person around claims that he is Kranti Guru! Meanwhile, Kranti Guru has walked away, with the king following her. She drops her sword and the king recalls it belonging to his queen. Gangadhar sees Kranti Guru immersing Prachi's ashes in the river. She then dips in the river, and is confronted by Gangadhar. Gangadhar is furious on learning the truth that his queen is Kranti Guru. Laxmibai tries to justify that she did everything only for the welfare of Jhansi. However, he demands to talk to his queen, not Kranti Guru.

Gangadhar is furious at his betrayal. His conscience tries to convince him about Laxmibais noble intentions but in vain. Sleeman warns Gangadhar that East India Company would be compelled to snatch the administrative rights of Jhansi if the anarchy continues. However, he suggests that if Kranti Guru is also sent to Fort William along with Marshall's dead body within a day, then Gangadhar could continue to be the king. Laxmibai deeply regrets betraying Gangadhar's trust, and for forgetting her duties as a wife after Prachi's death. Gangadhar is furious with Laxmibai for not trusting her husband or the King of Jhansi. Laxmibai agrees to surrender herself to the British as Kranti Guru but the king warns her not to. He then gives her a days time to think whether she wants to remain the Queen of Jhansi or Kranti Guru. Once the king leaves, Laxmibai starts to clutch her stomach in pain.

Aaishri tends to Laxmibai who is wincing in pain. All Aaishri tells Laxmibai is that she is ready to beget a child for Gangadhar, and asks her to stay in a separate room for 5 days. Jankibai and Sakhubai hear the news and are jealous that Jhansi would soon get an heir. Spears inform Gangadhar that a disheartened Sleeman has gone to Lucknow, and things could turn for the worse if Kranti Guru is not handed over to the British. Gangadhar bribes Spears into not mentioning in his report about Kranti Gurus involvement in Marshall's death. Meanwhile, Aaishri informs Gangadhar about Laxmibai coming of age. Later, she taunts Gangadhar for not keeping his wife in his clutches. Meanwhile, Laxmibai gets bathed after 5 days and is dressed up like a queen. The dilemma of having to give an answer to the kings ultimatum worries her. On the other hand, the king too awaits his queens reply.

A worried Sunder informs Laxmibai that the guards would arrive soon as they have sensed an impostor in their midst. Laxmibai takes Samar to the kitchen and shows him the secret exit. Meanwhile, Gangadhar assures Spears that his soldiers would not interfere when Samar gets arrested. Sunder, who has her face covered, sees the king approaching. Thinking she is Laxmibai, Gangadhar tells her that he has decided to hand over Samar to the British for the welfare of Jhansi and requests her not to disrupt the plan. Aaishri arrives later and sees the queen fumbling and tense, so she lifts the veil and is shocked to see Sunder dressed as the queen. A frightened Sunder tells her everything what Gangadhar had told her. Aaishri warns Sunder not to reveal anything to Laxmibai. Sunder tries to speak to Laxmibai about Samar but is stopped by Aaishri. Samar reaches outside the palace but as he gallops on his horse, Spears and his men follow him.

Motibai takes Laxmibai to the room where she is supposed to consummate her marriage with Gangadhar. Laxmbai cannot understand why the room has been decorated so splendidly. Gangadhar Rao orders Raghunath to beef up security for the night because the British would be arresting Samar. Raghunath informs Gangadhar that Samar would be moving out of Jhansi. Jankibai and Sakhubai inform Laxmibai that Gangadhar has given permission to the British to arrest Samar for killing Marshall so that she is not accused of his murder, but Laxmibai brushes it aside as a lie. However, Sunder comes to Laxmibai later and mentions the truth about Samar. Laxmibai rushes out of the palace secretly to save Samar. Meanwhile, Gangadhar is surprised not to find Laxmibai in the room. Raghunath informs Gangadhar that the queen had left the palace a while back. The British soldiers surround Samar, and a fierce battle ensues. Samar gets badly injured.

The British soldiers go to arrest Samar but he fights them bravely. Spears aims to shoot Samar but just then, Laxmibai arrives and takes his gun away. She saves Samar from the British and asks him to go away from Jhansi. An enraged Gangadhar arrives a while later and feels totally betrayed as a husband and as the King of Jhansi, so he strips Laxmibai of all the rights of a queen, and says that she has no place in Jhansi now. Gangadhar Rao returns to the palace and announces that Manikarnika will never return to the palace. Laxmibai leaves her jewellery near the gates of palace. Lacho tells Sakhubai that dethroning Gangadhar would be her job. Tatya Guru and Moropant are shocked to know from Aaishri that Laxmibai is no longer the Queen of Jhansi or the wife of Gangadhar Rao. Aaishri blames Laxmibai for the troubles that they have had to face from the time she entered the palace. A heartbroken Laxmibai roams on the streets of Jhansi.

Gangadhar refuses to conduct any proceedings in court for the day and warns everyone not to take Laxmibai's name. Spears tells his men that Marshall's death has made their job much easier because Indians would have now realised the consequence of challenging the British. Moropant and Tatya Guru are worried when they fail to find Laxmibai. He advises Moropant to stay back in Jhansi to keep an eye on the conspirators. Meanwhile, a group of ascetics find Laxmibai in an unconscious state in a jungle. Spears, who is also in the same jungle, is unable to see Laxmibai getting inside the bullock cart. When Spears confronts Acharya, he calls them thieves and orders them to leave Jhansi. Acharya replies that they will move out of Jhansi only if Gangadhar Rao orders them to leave as he is the king. An infuriated Spears is about to whip Acharya when Tatya Guru stops him. Tatya Guru reminds Spears he has no right to order anyone to leave Jhansi.

Gangdhar is inconsolable at Laxmibais betrayal and starts to drink. Meanwhile, Sunder is inconsolable that the king had spoken to her about Samars arrest, thinking she was the queen. She decides to confess the truth to him. Sunder is about to meet Gangadhar but Aaishri stops her. Gangadhar's dove, Saawariya, brings Gangadhar's portrait to the place where Laxmibai is staying with the ascetics. However, just then, Shraddha, Acharyas daughter, arrives. Laxmibai reveals her name as Manu to them. A drunken Gangadhar Rao orders Motibai to dance, and she is forced to perform for him. However, he voices his displeasure at the way she danced, and collapses. Saawariya drops a flower on Gangadhar. On the other hand, Laxmbai prays to the Lord to protect Gangadhar. Sunder secretly enters Gangadhar's room and confesses the truth to him.

Just when Sunder is about to reveal more, Aaishri takes her away and orders the guards to arrest Sunder. Meanwhile, Laxmibai is delighted to watch Acharya and his men practice sword fighting at the camp. Seeing the passion in her voice for her motherland, Acharya promises to teach Laxmibai sword fighting but Shraddha stops him. Acharya encourages Shraddha also to learn for self-defence but she refuses saying that he would always be there to protect her. Gangadhar is unable to forget Laxmibai, and by mistake calls Motibai by her name. Acharya seeks to meet Gangadhar but Raghunath says that he cannot because there would be no proceedings for the day. The palace guards say that after the queen has left, the king has gone back to his merry-making days. On the other hand, Spears and his men order Acharya's people to leave the camp but Acharya's boys rebel. The British officers thrash them badly. Spears then spots Shraddha and tries to rape her. However, he gets shocked to see Kranti Guru

Spears is shocked when Kranti Guru comes to Shraddha's rescue. Shraddha wonders who she is. A British soldier is about to stab Kranti Guru when Acharya Sajanand saves her. Acharya reveals to his people who Kranti Guru is. Spears appears in Gangadhar's court. The Minister tells him that no decision can be taken in Gangadhar's absence. A frustrated Gangadhar Rao drinks heavily in Motibai's chamber. Aaishri goes to Motibai's chamber and provokes Gangadhar against Laxmibai and her activities. A furious Gangadhar goes to the court. Sunder asks Kashi to reveal the truth to Gangadhar, but she does not get an opportunity. Acharya teaches the finer techniques of sword fighting to Laxmibai. In the court, Gangadhar issues an order asking the `sanyasis' to leave Jhansi. He also says that if they wish to continue staying in Jhansi, they must hand over all those who had attacked the British, and if they are proved guilty, they will be hanged. But Manu feels that Gangadhar will do justice.

Sakhubai is pleased with Gangadhar's decision and feels that she will soon become the Queen of Jhansi. Kashi reveals everything to Motibai. Motibai is shocked to know that Aaishri does not want Gangadhar and Laxmibai to be together. She decides to inform Gangadhar about this. Meanwhile, Acharya and Laxmibai are shocked to hear Gangadhar's orders about the `sanyasis'. Motibai requests Khudabaksh to reveal the truth to Gangadhar. Aaishri comes to know that Khudabaksh is in Motibai's chamber, and deliberately sends Gangadhar there. Gangadhar gets angry to see Motibai with Khudabaksh, and asks his soldiers to arrest Motibai. She somehow escapes from their custody and reaches Gangadhar's court. Aaishri asks Gangadhar not to entertain a prostitute like Motibai. An angry Motibai tells Gangadhar that Aaishri is responsible for creating misunderstandings between him and Laxmibai.

Gangadhar gets angry at Motibai when she alleges that Aaishri had tried to separate him from Laxmibai. But Motibai swears on God and reveals that Aaishri knew Sunder was pretending to be Laxmibai and Laxmibai was unaware that he had permitted the British to arrest Samar Singh. Gangadhar believes her and goes in search of Laxmibai. Raghunath insists on accompanying the King. Gangadhar apologises to Moropant for his behaviour. Meanwhile, Laxmibai and the group of `sanyasis' cross the Jhansi border. Gangadhar Rao goes to meet the `Rajguru' regarding his problems. Guruji tells him about the great ritual at Datiya, where `sanyasis' from all over the nation would be gathering. Gangadhar hopes to meet Laxmibai there. Meanwhile, Acharya tells his wife that one has to undergo rigorous tasks to prepare for the ritual. Laxmibai volunteers to perform the difficult tasks as she considers herself Acharya's second daughter. Acharya is touched.

Laxmibai begins the intricate task of preparing for the ritual. Sakhubai plans to take advantage of Gangadhar's absence, and sit on the throne. But her plan is foiled when Gangadhar returns. Laxmibai is surprised to find Tatya Guru in Datiya, but she firmly refuses to go back with him. Laxmibai continues with the preparations without taking anyone's help. The `Rajguru'(Chief Guru) is very impressed and informs Laxmibai that King Gangadhar Rao will be attending the holy sacrifice. Gangadhar Rao is eager to meet his queen. Gangadhar Rao's soldiers take the disguise of pilgrims and begin searching for Laxmibai. After finishing her work, Laxmibai prepares to leave the venue, but she suddenly notices Gangadhar Rao's arrival. Gangadhar Rao meets Acharya and apologises to him. He also expresses his desire to personally apologise to every member of the hermitage.

Laxmibai tries to avoid Gangadhar's view by escaping into the jungle. Gangadhar Rao comes to know that the 'sanyasis' have given shelter to a girl. Gangadhar Rao is sure that the girl is Laxmibai and begins to search for her. Spears sees Gangadhar and asks his soldiers to follow him. Sakhubai reveals to Jankibai that she has informed Spears that Gangadhar Rao is searching for Laxmibai in Datiya. Sakhubai conspires to kill Gangadhar with Spears' help. Raghunath follows Laxmibai and gets attacked. The hired assassins of the British, disguise as Gangadhar soldiers and attack him. Laxmibai reaches there on time and saves Gangadhar's life. Gangadhar tells Laxmibai that Jhansi is awaiting its queen. Laxmibai says that he will also have to accept her as Kranti Guru because it is her duty to fight against the British. Gangadhar Rao remains silent. Therefore, she leaves from there.

Gangadhar Rao is very upset by Laxmibai's absence. He announces that her dagger will represent her in the court. However, Moropant is sure that Gangadhar has met Laxmibai. Sakhubai is extremely pleased that Gangadhar Rao and Laxmibai are not together and cannot have an heir. She begins to conspire to kill Gangadhar. Laxmibai meets Samar Singh co-incidentally and is stirred on seeing his pitiable condition. Samar informs Laxmibai that some company officers are forcing villagers to grow opium. He also tells her about the increasing number of deaths in the village, due to the farming of opium. Laxmibai vows to teach the officers a lesson and motivates Samar to join hands with her. A villager named Karma announces that Gangadhar Rao is a traitor and their biggest enemy, because he gave away their villages to the British. Laxmibai is shocked. Other villagers agree with him.

Samar Singh tries to explain to Karma that Gangadhar Rao is not a traitor. But an agitated Karma interrupts him and vows to behead Gangadhar Rao within a year. Laxmibai gets furious and says that Gangadhar Rao is not an ordinary man. She asks the villagers to fight in unison against the British. The villagers are impressed by Laxmibai's words and pledge to oust the British from their country. Laxmibai and Samar Singh train the villagers to fight in the battlefield. Kranti Guru and the villagers attack the British in Araj. They defeat the British and free the villagers captured by them. Spears informs Gangadhar Rao about the incident. Gangadhar assures to investigate. But he and his ministers are pleased by Kranti Guru's action. A group of British soldiers surround Kranti Guru and are about to attack her.

Laxmibai (Kranti Guru) continues with her nonstop efforts to fight against the British. The story takes a leap of a few years. Lord Dalhousie becomes the Governor General of India in 1848. He captures Satara and now intends to grab Jhansi. Karma wonders what connection Kranti Guru has with Gangadhar Rao. Spears informs Gangadhar Rao that the British treasury is going to be shifted from Jhansi to Gwalior for safety from dacoits. He asks Gangadhar to provide his soldiers, for escorting the treasure since the dacoits will not attack the soldiers of Jhansi. When Spears reveals that the leader of the dacoits is a woman, he guesses that the leader is Laxmibai. Gangadhar agrees to have security provided to the British provided they return the villages that they have captured. Spears agrees. Laxmibai and her group come to know about the transfer of the treasury. Gangadhar Rao hopes to meet Laxmibai soon.

Kranti Guru and her group attack Spears and his troops who are travelling from Jhansi to Gwalior. They even manage to steal the treasure. On the other hand, Karma and his group attack Gangadhar and his soldiers in order to steal the remaining treasure. Karma is about to stab Gangadhar, but Laxmibai reaches there and saves him in the nick of time. In the court, Gangadhar tells his ministers that the leader of the dacoits must surely be very intelligent or else they would have not known about the treasure. Captain Martin tells Gangadhar that someone from the palace must be leaking out the information. He also informs that the East India Company has sent him to help. But Gangadhar refuses to take help. Martin tells him that the British wants their stolen treasure back.

Kranti Guru reprimands Karma for trying to kill Gangadhar Rao. Karma angrily tells the villagers that Kranti Guru has some connection with Gangadhar Rao. He also expresses his suspicions about Laxmibai stealing the treasure. Just then, Samar Singh brings the treasure. The villagers are delighted and they praise Laxmibai. Spears asks Martin, why he asked Gangadhar Rao to recover their treasure from the dacoits. Martin says that by doing this, Gangadhar Rao and the dacoits will fight with each other and die. The festival of 'Vatasavitri' approaches. Gangadhar Rao and Laxmibai terribly miss each other. Laxmibai goes to the spot where she met Gangadhar Rao while saving him from Karma. Even Gangadhar Rao visits the same place, but they fail to see each other. Karma kills one of the group members and gets caught by the villagers.

When Laxmibai asks Karma the reason for killing the man, Karma lies that the man was an informer of the British. On searching, a bag of gold coins is indeed found in the man's pocket.

However, Sunder interrupts and says that an ascetic at the palace door was willing to accept donations only from the queen. Laxmibai rushes to the palace gate and asks the ascetic what she wants.

Laxmibai is unable to trace the ascetic. A worried Laxmibai goes to meet Gangadhar but does not tell him the truth. When a black cat jumps out of Gangadhar's cupboard, her suspicion about a conspiracy gets confirmed. The royal physician tests the sword and says that it has been laced with poison. When he tells Laxmibai that he had used the book last in the palace, she realises that the conspirator is from the palace itself. She confronts Sakhubai, Lacho and Jankibai with a sword.

The physician informs the king that the queen had summoned him to inquire about the sword being laced with poison. Gangadhar blames the Prime Minister and Raghunath for the lax in security.

An old woman approaches Laxmibai and says that she is mother of the maid who gave her the message to reach the place. She gives her an anklet and says that it will protect her husband. Laxmibai returns to the palace in the middle of the night and spots a person near their chamber. However, the person escapes. Gangadhar assures her that they would fight all the conspiracies together, and that he would remain unharmed as long as she was with him.

Laxmibai wonders who the culprit is, and begins to doubt Raghunath, Tatya Dixit and Narsing Rao, the Prime Minister. Laxmibai calls them separately and says that she suspects the other two to be the conspirators. She asks each one to report any suspicious activity of the other two. Laxmibai also asks Sunder and Kashi to search the homes of the three men for any suspicious objects. The maids bring incriminating evidences from each of the three men's home, so Laxmibai wonders if all of them are involved. When Tatya Dixit informs her that someone is performing black magic on Gangadhar, she decides to get to the root of the issue. Laxmibai later receives a letter asking her to come to Goddess Kali's temple to know the truth about the conspiracies and the black magic being performed in the palace. Meanwhile, Sakhubai tells Lacho and Jankibai that while Gangadhar would be performing the religious ceremony at Lord Shiva's temple, a mishap would occur that would kill him.

Raghunath and the Prime Minister request Gangadhar separately to allow them to come to Lord Shiva's temple for the religious ceremony. Laxmibai decides to go Goddess Kali's temple and asks her maids to keep an eye on the king while she is away. Meanwhile, at Lord Shiva's temple, the rope to which the temple bell is attached catches fire, while Gangadhar stands below it to pray. On the other hand, a mysterious lady appears at Goddess Kali's temple and gives Laxmibai offerings. She advises her to pray to the sky and earth at Lord Shiva's temple. Laxmibai reaches the temple, and Gangadhar and she offer their prayers to the Lord. Laxmibai recalls what the mysterious lady had asked her to do, and when she looks up, she sees the temple bell falling on the king. She rushes towards him and pushes him. However, she gets hurt and collapses. Gangadhar tells Laxmibai that she must have known about the conspiracy beforehand, so he asks her who the culprit is.

Laxmibai decides not to tell Gangadhar anything until she gathers enough proof against the conspirators, so she says that even she does not know who they are, and that she only happened to see the bell falling on him. Tatya Dixit gets medicines for Laxmibai, but Gangadhar wants it tested first. When Gangadhar is satisfied, he asks Tatya Dixit to give his queen the medicine. However, Tatya Dixit pours medicine from another pouch into the milk, and Laxmibai drinks it. Gangadhar tells Laxmibai that he is going to Lord Shiva's temple so that the evidences are not tampered with. Gangadhar inspects the burnt rope in the temple and investigates the cause. Tatya Dixit apologises to Laxmibai for the untoward incident as he was in charge of the ceremony. Meanwhile, Sakhubai and her accomplices hope that this time their pawn would not miss his target.Tatya Dixit assures the conspiring ladies that he has personally administered poison to Laxmibai, and she would not be able to save the king now.

Sakhubai and her accomplices monitor Malcolm's men placing spears on the riverbed so that Gangadhar would get killed when he would come to bathe in the pond. On the other hand, Tatya Dixit visits the queen. He tells the king that her condition is deteriorating and it could be result of someone performing black magic on her. He advises the king to cleanse himself in the pond and perform a ritual so that she improves. On his way out, many pouches fall from Tatya Dixit's bag. Laxmibai realises that all of them look the same and that he must have used another pouch while testing for poison. The queen tries her best to alert the king but is unable to speak. The king leaves to go to the pond with Tatya Dixit. Laxmibai recalls the mysterious lady warning her to save Gangadhar from water and fire.

The mysterious lady goes to Motibai and tells her that Laxmibai is serious as she appears to have consumed something poisonous. She returns to Laxmibai's chamber and urges Laxmibai to get up and save the king. Motibai arrives just then with a flower that brings Laxmibai to her consciousness. When Raghunath and the Prime Minister hear that the king has left from the secret exit, both of them think that the other one is the conspirator. A fight ensues and they then realise that Tatya Dixit is the culprit. Meanwhile, Tatya Dixit tells the king that he must jump into the pond and come to the temple after that. Tatya Dixit then goes to Goddess Kali's temple and performs black magic. Laxmibai gallops on her horse to reach her husband, while he readies himself to jump into the pond.

Raghunath and the Prime Minister go to help Gangadhar. The mysterious lady prays for the king and queen's well-being, and throws the glass lamp in frustration. The lamp breaks into pieces. At the same time, Gangadhar steps on a piece of glass and his foot starts to bleed. Tatya Dixit continues to perform black magic and demands Gangadhar's blood! Meanwhile, Gangadhar removes the glass piece and moves ahead for the plunge. She is shocked to see Laxmibai approaching towards Gangadhar and warning him just in time not to jump. A stunned Malcolm orders his men to attack Gangadhar and Laxmibai. The two fight the soldiers, and Laxmibai reveals to Gangadhar that his trusted confidante, Tatya Dixit, is one of the conspirators involved in having him killed. Laxmibai and Gangadhar escape on a horse but Malcolm orders his men to follow them. A furious Malcolm comes to Goddess Kali's temple and stabs Tatya Dixit because his plan had failed.

Tatya Dixit confesses his crime to Raghunath and the Prime Minister, and says that Gangadhar and Laxmibai are in danger. However, he passes out before telling the names of the conspirators. Raghunath and the Prime Minister set out with troops to find the king and queen. Meanwhile, Gangadhar and Laxmibai take refuge in an abandoned temple. Gangadhar thanks Laxmibai for saving his life innumerable times. Gangadhar and Laxmibai finally consummate their marriage as Raghunath, the Prime Minister and their men battle Malcolm's soldiers bravely outside the temple. Raghunath and the Prime Minister get badly injured and collapse. Meanwhile, Malcolm, seething with rage over his failure to kill Gangadhar and Laxmibai, decides to burn their palace.

Gangadhar thanks Laxmibai again. She tells Gangadhar how a woman had come in the guise of a maid and an ascetic, and saved her many times. Meanwhile, Malcolm also sets the temple in which Gangadhar and Laxmibai are hiding, on fire. This time too, the same woman who has her face covered appears and guides them to safety. Seeing Gangadhar and Laxmibai coming out of the temple, Malcolm and his officer aim their guns at them. Just then, a gravely injured Tatya Dixit foils their attempt but gets shot. The officers escape. Laxmibai requests Gangadhar to have Tatya Dixit's last rites done with full honours. Later, Laxmibai describes to the artist the woman who had saved her several times. The artist sketches her portrait. Moropant arrives just then to welcome Gangadhar and Laxmibai. He is stunned seeing the portrait.

Moropant is dumbfounded seeing the portrait. He can't believe that the artist has sketched the portrait of Bhagirathi, his deceased first wife and Laxmibai's mother. When Moropant refuses to believe her, Laxmibai shows him her anklets that the lady had given her. Moropant, Gangadhar and Laxmibai are surprised at this divine happening. Indu pays a surprise visit to Laxmibai with her little son, Siddesh. Siddesh becomes the object of Laxmibai's affection. Gangadhar is pleased and wonders when Laxmibai will have a child of her own. Meanwhile, Ross, the British officer who had shot Tatya Dixit gets worried that his name would get exposed in front of Gangadhar. They reach Gangadhar's court and tell him that they suspect the Rajputs are behind the attack. However, a sharp Gangadhar says that 'R' could also refer to Ross. Ross gets worried hearing his name.

Ross tells Gangadhar that he will gather evidences to prove his accusation against the Rajputs. Just then, Raghunath enters the court and says that the differences between Brahmins and Rajputs have been resolved, and they have agreed to make Samar Singh their Chief. Ross mentions to Malcolm at the Commissionerate that he is afraid Gangadhar suspects him. Nelson arrives then, and in a shocking turn of events, stabs Ross to death.

Daima comes to know that the royal physician and Jankibai have conspired to hide Laxmibai's pregnancy for their own selfish plans. Jankibai warns Daima not to speak about it to anyone.

Jankibai offers Daima wealth to keep her mouth shut. Daima refuses to be party to Jankibai's crimes. Jankibai threatens to harm Ganga if she does not comply. Daima gets angry and slaps Jankibai. But Daima dares not speak before Gangadhar. Gangadhar is very upset that Laxmibai is not well. Ganga walks in Laxmibai's room. Gangadhar gets furious at her. Ganga gets nervous and accidentally breaks the statue of Laxmibai made by Gangadhar. Jankibai locks up Daima in the dungeon and threatens to ruin Ganga if she ever tries to speak the truth. Gangadhar gets angry on Ganga again when she disrupts his archery practice. Ganga pleads to Gangadhar that she is not worthy of becoming his queen. She begs Gangadhar not to marry her. Gangadhar tells Ganga that she can never take Laxmibai's place. Laxmibai is pleased to see Gangadhar and Ganga talk to each other.

Laxmibai introduces Ganga to the people of Jhansi. The people are shocked to know this. Nelson refers to Ganga as the queen of Jhansi and taunts Laxmibai indirectly. He expresses his hope that the future queen will comply with the wishes of the British. Ganga imagines herself being hailed as the Queen of Jhansi. Jankibai taunts Ganga to stop imagining. Jankibai tells Ganga that Laxmibai is pregnant. Ganga wants to give the news to Laxmibai. Jankibai tells Ganga that her grandmother, Daima, is in captivity and advices her to do as Jankibai bids her. Jankibai takes Ganga to the dungeon where Daima is held captive. Daima tells Ganga to remember the favors bestowed by Laxmibai on them. She tells Ganga to tell the truth to Laxmibai about her pregnancy. Jankibai tempts Ganga with the opulence that she will miss if she speaks the truth. Ganga is caught in a dilemma.

Ganga promises Daima that she will stand by Laxmibai and tell her the truth. Laxmibai tells Hirabai that she will let Ganga her wedding sari. Hirabai tells her not to do so. Laxmibai replies that she is going to share Gangadhar so it is better that she share the wedding attire too. Hirabai praises her sacrifice for Jhansi. Jankibai threatens to kill Daima if Ganga does not do as she is told. Laxmibai is busy with the prenuptial ceremony while Ganga is still caught in the dilemma. Gangadhar refuses to go through the whole prenuptial ceremony. Jankibai tells Ganga that Gangadhar should never get an heir. Laxmibai and Hirabai overhear Jankibai trying to tell something to Ganga. Hirabai warns Jankibai not to cross the path of Queen Laxmibai. Laxmibai asks Ganga about Daima.

Ganga is in a dilemma when Laxmibai asks her about Daima. Ganga is moved by Laxmibai's goodness. Laxmibai feels nauseated when she is performing the rituals. Moropant prays to the Gods to protect Laxmibai. Sunder goes to fetch the royal physician as Laxmibai is not feeling well. The royal physician gives Sunder poison to terminate her pregnancy. Sunder makes Laxmibai drink the poison assuming it to be medicine. Laxmibai drinks the potion. Laxmibai dreams of a child pleading her to save him. Jankibai rewards the royal physician and asks him to leave the kingdom. Laxmibai vomits the potion. Indu is concerned about Laxmibai's health. Gangadhar tells Laxmibai that they can adopt a son, but Laxmibai insists that Jhansi will get an heir through Gangadhar. Gangadhar insists that Laxmibai should be present at all the rituals of the wedding otherwise he will call off the wedding. Laxmibai promises to be at Gangadhar's side throughout the wedding.

Laxmibai convinces Gangadhar Rao to carryout the ceremonies. She inscribes Ganga's name on Gangadhar Rao's hands with henna. Laxmibai helps Ganga get ready as a bride. Ganga is moved by Laxmibai's generosity. Indu and the other ladies of the court are moved by Laxmibai's sacrifice. Ganga is saddened when the design of henna on her hand is of a light colour as it signifies that her husband does not love her. Gangadhar meets Ganga and thanks her for accepting the proposal. But he tells Ganga that he will never love her as only Laxmibai is his only love. Ganga's conscience asks her to speak the truth about Laxmibai's pregnancy. She decides not to marry Gangadhar but Jankibai tells Ganga to think about the grandeur and splendor of becoming a queen. Ganga is lured by the greed of becoming a queen. Laxmibai dresses up Ganga with her own ornaments. Ganga is led to the wedding alter by Laxmibai.

To Gangadhar's horror, Laxmi Bai asks for the garlands. Moropant refuses to do the 'kanyadaan'. Amidst the sombre atmosphere, Laxmi Bai volunteers to perform the 'kanyadaan' and ties the knot for Gangadhar and Ganga. Gangadhar and Ganga's marriage rituals begin, and Laxmi Bai feels unwell. She quietly slips out of the palace to find the chief doctor. To her surprise, she finds him with a British officer and stops him. Upon questioning, he gives her the news of her pregnancy.

Gangadhar looks for Laxmi Bai. Ganga revels in her new identity. Laxmi Bai shares the news about her pregnancy with Moropant and he reveals it at the ceremony. A wave of happiness spreads amongst all except for Ganga and Janki Bai. Gangadhar wants to untie the marital knot, but Laxmi Bai objects. Hira Bai supports Gangadhar's decision. Laxmi Bai apologises to an aggrieved Ganga. Laxmi Bai realises that there is a conspiracy against her. Gangadhar wants to enquire about the person behind it.

Janki Bai is scared of being exposed. Gangadhar and Laxmi Bai leave to meet the chief doctor. To her relief, Janki Bai discovers his dead body. Nelson wipes the chief doctor's blood from the knife and vows to kill Laxmi Bai's unborn child. Gangadhar orders an investigation. Ganga breaks down and, unable to bear people's jibes, decides to end her life. Laxmi Bai saves her and apologises to her. The palace celebrates the good news. Hira Bai is happy to see an elated Gangadhar playing the 'dhol'.

Gangadhar dances with Laxmi Bai. A distressed Ganga watches the celebrations. Nelson arrives to congratulate the couple, but Hira Bai sends him away. A veiled Ganga attacks Laxmi Bai in her chambers and, using dubious means, escapes. Ganga sends Kashi and Sunder away and volunteers to stay with Laxmi Bai as her trusted aide. Laxmi Bai questions Ganga about Daai Maa and decides not to tell Gangadhar about the attack. Hira Bai advises her otherwise. A seething Ganga decides to avenge her insult.

Wounded by broken dreams and people's jibes, Ganga tells Janki Bai that she will find a way to become the Queen of Jhansi. Hira Bai informs Gangadhar about the attack on Laxmi Bai. Laxmi Bai seeks Gangadhar's permission to form a Nari Sena, consisting of her aides who would look after her and her child's security. Laxmi Bai calls all the ladies and motivates them to start the practice and gently refuses Ganga's request to be her personal trainer. Ganga coaxes Tatya Tope to become her teacher.

Motivating her Nari Sena, Laxmi Bai starts their training. She questions Sunder about Ganga's whereabouts. Hira Bai tells her not to trust Ganga. Ganga begins her vigorous training with Tatya Tope, who guides her to purify her senses and focus on her target to control her anger. Undeterred by her injuries and tiredness, a determined Ganga perseveres. Gangadhar decides to eat with Laxmi Bai and her Nari Sena. Laxmi Bai silences Nelson's taunts. Ganga lies to Laxmi Bai about her injury.

On seeing Laxmi Bai's discomfort while training, Gangadhar decides to hold a training session with Nari Sena. Ganga diverts Tatya Tope's attention to stop him from disclosing her truth to Laxmi Bai. Tatya Tope begins Ganga's training in swordsmanship. Gangadhar draws a sketch of Laxmi Bai with the unborn baby. To test the Nari Sena, Gangadhar orders his men to disguise themselves as dacoits and attack them. He decides to reward them accordingly. Janki Bai and Nelson plan to ruin the Nari Sena.

Ganga fakes her dedication by showing Laxmi Bai's statue made by her to Tatya Tope. Under the pretext of Laxmi Bai's safety, Ganga compels Tatya Tope to teach her the technique, which even Laxmi Bai does not know. Gangadhar apprises his men about the challenge and warns them not to injure the Nari Sena. At Hira Bai's behest, Laxmi Bai visits the cows' shelter for a puja. Seizing this opportunity, Ganga leaves a snake to create unrest amongst the cows. A veiled Ganga faces Laxmi Bai with a sword.

Ganga attacks Laxmi Bai. Nelson's men kill Gangadhar's men and attack the Nari Sena. The valiant Nari Sena overpowers Nelson's men, and Gangadhar is impressed. Seeing Laxmi Bai's statue lying on the ground makes Tatya Tope realise Ganga's deceit. Laxmi Bai is shocked to see Ganga's unveiled face. Tatya Tope wants to hack Ganga's arms. A repentant Ganga reveals being misled and kills herself. Janki Bai is relieved that Ganga died before disclosing her involvement in Daai Maa's disappearance.

Expressing his admiration for the Nari Sena, Gangadhar gifts each warrior a sword. Janki Bai shares the news of Ganga's death with Nelson. Gangadhar decides to accompany Laxmi Bai, who insists on going to Bithur to meet Bajirao, whose ill health is a cause of concern. Ellis overhears Nelson and Manson, his brother, hatching a plot to ambush Laxmi Bai's travel party and stop Gangadhar from travelling with her. Nelson apprises Gangadhar about the riots in Jhansi and stops him from leaving.

Gangadhar appoints Tatya Tope for Laxmi Bai's security and sends her to Bithur. The members of a social group, the Shudras, revolt against discrimination. Finding an obstruction en route to Bithur, Tatya Tope goes to check the alternate way and is thrown into the quicksand. Manson's men overpower the palace's soldiers. Laxmi Bai uses her presence of mind and, while keeping the soldiers at bay, rescues Tatya Tope. Ellis comes to their aid and gives Laxmi Bai an assurance regarding her protection.

An ailing Bajirao senses Laxmi Bai's arrival. Laxmi Bai pays respect to her motherland and is warmly welcomed by the people of Bithur. Bajirao and Laxmi Bai spend some nostalgic moments together and decide to crown Nana Saheb as the ruler of Bithur. Manson welcomes Campbell to Bithur. Following Dalhousie's instructions of not acknowledging the adopted son Nana Saheb as the rightful heir of Bithur, Manson interrupts the crowning ceremony. Meanwhile, Campbell readies his troops for an attack.

Unable to bear the grief of Bithur being taken over by the British, the ailing Bajirao breathes his last. Giving 24 hours to surrender, Manson leaves the palace. Demanding tax, Manson does not allow Nana Saheb to immerse Bajirao's ashes in the river. Laxmi Bai declares war. To protect her unborn child, Vahini Saheb asks Laxmi Bai not to fight but be with Nana Saheb, who would take the lead. With an undying fire to protect his motherland, Nana Saheb faces Campbell and brings him down.

Campbell attacks Tatya Tope, and Tatya Tope beheads him. Manson insults the ashes of Bajirao. Tatya Tope catches his leg which he aims to use to kick the urn of the ashes. Laxmi Bai mounts a horse and whisks the urn away and punishes Manson by cutting the very leg he had used to try to kick the urn. Bithur wins the war, and Laxmi Bai crowns Nana Saheb as the Peshwa of Bithur. Nana Saheb urges her to immerse Bajirao's ashes in the river. Moropant blesses Laxmi Bai for saving Bithur and Jhansi.

Nana Saheb is welcomed at the court of Bithur as the new Peshwa. He expresses his gratitude to Laxmi Bai for making this possible. Laxmi Bai leaves Bithur amidst tears. To manage the unrest in Jhansi, Gangadhar calls Rao Dulhajo for his advice, but Sanjay Lohar's refusal to acknowledge Gangadhar as the king creates a worrisome situation. Nelson asks an angry Sanjay Lohar to create lawlessness which would give an excuse to the British to prove Gangadhar's incapability and take over Jhansi.

Laxmi Bai prays for Gangadhar's safety. Janki Bai meets Nelson and determines to oust Gangadhar. Sanjay Lohar, along with his social group, protests in front of the palace. Gangadhar punishes him and the others. Jhansi is on fire, and Nelson instructs his men to escalate the situation. Laxmi Bai is appalled to see her Jhansi burning and threatens Nelson with dire consequences. Nelson is livid to see Manson's condition, and both of them plan to kill Laxmi Bai. Laxmi Bai vows to fight Nelson.

Laxmi Bai opposes Rao Dulhajo's opinion of giving harsh punishment to the rebels. Sanjay Lohar's proposal for a peace talk and his demand for Gangadhar to come alone and unarmed surprises Laxmi Bai, who volunteers to go in his stead. Rao Dulhajo offers to accompany her. Laxmi Bai is attacked by Sanjay Lohar and his men. Rao Dulhajo is Nelson's accomplice. Narsingh Rao's warning about Rao Dulhajo's attitude makes Gangadhar suspicious. Gangadhar rescues an injured Laxmi Bai.

Nelson instructs Rao Dulhajo to kill Laxmi Bai and Gangadhar. Gangadhar takes an unconscious Laxmi Bai to a hut and goes out to look for water. Gangadhar is attacked, and Rao Dulhajo sets the hut on fire. A grief-stricken Moropant is comforted by Tatya Tope and Chimna Bai. A broken-hearted Gangadhar sits outside the destroyed hut waiting to share the evening meal with Laxmi Bai. Moropant urges him to return to the palace. The British celebrate their victory. Daai Maa rescues Laxmi Bai.

Having overheard Nelson and Manson's conspiracy, Daai Maa saves Laxmi Bai's life. Six months pass, and Laxmi Bai remains unconscious. Rao Dulhajo instigates a hopeless Gangadhar against Jhansi and convinces him to give up the throne. Nelson imprisons Janki Bai. A desolate Gangadhar shares his decision of self-immolation with his ministers. Laxmi Bai regains consciousness and is in labour. Raghunath lights the self-immolation pyre. Jhansi's annexation order comes in Nelson's hands.

A delighted Nelson watches Gangadhar on the lit pyre and leaves to execute the takeover of Jhansi. Laxmi Bai delivers the crown prince of Jhansi and expresses her indebtedness to Daai Maa. Gangadhar is overjoyed on seeing Laxmi Bai arrive on horseback with their child. Nelson and Ellis reach the palace with their troops. A smug Nelson taunts Raghunath and is shocked to see Gangadhar alive. The bigger shock comes in the form of Laxmi Bai and the crown prince. Laxmi Bai tears the annexation order.

Jhansi celebrates the arrival of its crown prince. Dalhousie is angry with Nelson, and an apologetic Nelson promises to kill the crown prince. As a gesture of gratitude, Gangadhar confers the highest civilian honour on Daai Maa. Janki Bai escapes from British captivity and confesses her crime. At Laxmi Bai's request, Gangadhar does not punish her. The crown prince's naming ceremony is planned. Sunder goes to fetch milk for the ceremony, and Lachchu Bai feeds poisonous milk to an infant.

Wanting justice, the aggrieved mother of the poisoned infant comes to the palace. Janki Bai takes the milk for the ceremony from Sunder. Disguised as a 'dhol' player, Lachchu Bai enters the palace with the poisoned milk. Nelson informs Manson about Lachchu Bai and Janki Bai being bought over and the plan. Laxmi Bai proclaims the name of the crown prince as Damodar Rao, and everyone blesses the prince. Ellis brings a gift too. During Moti Bai's performance, Sunder whispers in Laxmi Bai's ear.

As the ceremony begins of bathing Damodar with milk, Nelson, Lachchu Bai and Janki Bai impatiently await his death. To their shock, Damodar is unaffected, and Laxmi Bai exposes Janki Bai. Nari Sena's vigilant watch on Janki Bai and the infant's death alerted Laxmi Bai. Moti Bai had also shared her suspicions about the 'dhol' player with Laxmi Bai. Gangadhar makes Janki Bai drink the poisoned milk, and she dies. Before breathing her last, Janki Bai states that she is not alone in this conspiracy.

Lachchu Bai escapes, but Janki Bai exposes Nelson. Gangadhar forces Dalhousie to apologise and, taking away Nelson's badges, Dalhousie sends him back to England. Ellis is made the in-charge of Jhansi. Laxmi Bai's obsessive measures for Damodar's security worry Gangadhar. Unaware of Rao Dulhajo's reality, Gangadhar gives him the responsibility for the security of Damodar's travel to the temple for the ear-piercing ceremony. Lachchu Bai and Rao Dulhajo await the chance to execute their plan.

Jhansi's royal procession leaves for the temple. As per the rules of the temple, no weapons are allowed inside the premises. While the ceremony is underway, Nelson and his men replace the swords with broken ones. The priest declares negative planetary influences in Damodar's stars. On the way back, Ellis feels something is wrong and finds some dead bodies. The royal party braves the attackers as they are weaponless. Laxmi Bai and Vasudha, along with their kids, take shelter with some eunuchs.

While Laxmi Bai fights with the attackers, Lachchu Bai overpowers Vasudha. She slashes her throat and takes Damodar with her. Burning with revenge, Lachchu Bai digs the ground to bury Damodar and is shocked to see Anand Rao's name written on his arm. A dying Vasudha tells Laxmi Bai that she has sacrificed her son for Jhansi. Laxmi Bai rescues Anand Rao from Lachchu Bai. An angry Gangadhar arrives with his men and orders for Lachchu Bai to be buried alive.

To repay her debt of gratitude to Vasudha, Laxmi Bai adopts Anand Rao. Nelson arrives at the court disguised as Sage Sudarshan and gives a box with a fake snake, which camouflages a real snake. He gives it for Damodar's protection and asks for it to be placed by the side of his cot. At night, Nelson has someone play the snake-charmer's instrument, which disturbs Anand Rao. Laxmi Bai and Gangadhar try to pacify him. The snake from the box gets activated and bites Damodar.

Nelson kills the snake so that it cannot be used to remove Damodar's poison. All the snake charmers of Jhansi play their instruments in an attempt to bring the snake back. Seeing Damodar's critical condition, the palace doctor suggests the use of an allopathic antidote. Nelson breaks the last bottle of the antidote and threatens the doctor. Ellis is informed about the presence of Nelson in Jhansi. Laxmi Bai and Tatya Tope arrive at the clinic and, with the aid of Ellis, look for the antidote.

Laxmi Bai finds a bottle of the antidote, which the doctor terms a miracle, but it is too late. Damodar breathes his last. Moropant reminds a grief-stricken Gangadhar about his duty as a husband and as a king. Laxmi Bai and Gangadhar recall Damodar's short life. Vahini Saheb asks Gangadhar to have patience. Damodar is given his last bath. Gangadhar takes Damodar's foot and hand prints and takes him to perform the last rites. Laxmi Bai breaks down, and Nelson rejoices at his victory.

During Damodar's last journey, Ellis warns Nelson. Happy with Nelson's success at killing Damodar, Lord Dalhousie reinstates Nelson and promises him the post of Assistant Governor General if he kills Gangadhar. Amidst tears, Damodar is buried with his toy horse. A mournful Laxmi Bai misses Damodar. She apologises to Anand Rao for immersing herself in her grief and neglecting him. Feeling dejected and incapable, Gangadhar finds no purpose in life. Laxmi Bai urges him to find solace in Anand Rao.

Unable to accept Anand Rao as Damodar's replacement, a broken Gangadhar lauds Laxmi Bai's inner strength. Ellis confronts the British doctor for aiding Damodar's murder. The public becomes violent and enters a church in their pursuit of the doctor. Ellis informs Gangadhar about the critical situation. Laxmi Bai motivates Gangadhar to take charge. Nelson instigates the crowd by firing at the people. Gangadhar is stabbed trying to rescue a child.

Moropant questions a restless Laxmi Bai. Seeing Gangadhar injured, Nelson gleefully asks Jhansi's ministers to prepare for his last rites. An angry Gangadhar pulls Nelson down from his horse. Ellis urges Tatya Tope and the ministers to take Gangadhar for the treatment of his injury. Gangadhar makes Tatya Tope and the others promise that Laxmi Bai will not be told about his injury. Gangadhar calls for an urgent meeting in the court wherein he declares Anand Rao as the next King of Jhansi.

Gangadhar interrupts Laxmi Bai's questions and tells Ellis to expedite the formalities concerning the legal adoption of Anand Rao. Gangadhar and Laxmi Bai perform the `puja' for Anand Rao's adoption. Ellis signs the legal document and, while countersigning, Gangadhar's strength wanes and his condition is out in the open. Nelson is unhappy to see Ellis arrive with the legal document proclaiming Jhansi's safety. Everyone offers fervent prayers for Gangadhar's recovery.

Laxmi Bai imagines Gangadhar's death and her widowhood. She is woken up from her stupor by a fakir, who urges her not to lose time. Nelson asks Rao Dulhajo to kill Gangadhar. Nelson instigates the people of Jhansi with false news about Gangadhar's death and the plan of the royalty to abscond. Nelson stabs the British doctor, and the dying doctor confesses the truth to Laxmi Bai. With the ministers trying to control the unrest, Rao Dulhajo gets the opportunity to stab Gangadhar.

Laxmi Bai hides Gangadhar and puts the doctor's body in Gangadhar's place. Laxmi Bai catches Rao Dulhajo's feet, but he escapes. The public unrest increases and they demand to see Gangadhar. Jhansi is overjoyed to see Gangadhar. Nelson and Rao Dulhajo are shocked. Laxmi Bai encourages Gangadhar, who has lost the will to live. To find the attacker, Laxmi Bai presides over the court. Rao Dulhajo tries to blame Raghunath for the security lapse. Laxmi Bai attacks Nelson in the commissary.

Laxmi Bai leaves the commissary with a promise to oust Nelson within 24 hours. Laxmi Bai asks Ellis to sign the letter enumerating the atrocities of Nelson, but Ellis tries to talk her out of it. Gangadhar and Laxmi Bai spend some special moments with Anand Rao. Laxmi Bai takes Gangadhar's blessings to accomplish her mission. Without Gangadhar's knowledge, Laxmi Bai and the ministers accost Nelson, who creates unrest amongst the people. Laxmi Bai urges the people of Jhansi to fight Nelson.

Laxmi Bai forces Nelson to sign the letter admitting his crimes. Nelson is chased out of Jhansi. The flag of Jhansi is hoisted on the British commissary. Worried about the repercussions, Gangadhar starts training his soldiers but is faced with the paucity of soldiers and weapons. Nelson is captured by the people of Orcha. Laxmi Bai motivates the jobless British army soldiers of Indian origin to fight for Jhansi. Lord Dalhousie approaches Ali Bahadur, who wants to avenge Lachchu Bai's death.

Lord Dalhousie promises Ali Bahadur the throne of Jhansi within 10 days by crippling Jhansi with economic pressure. Gangadhar approaches the merchants to loan him money on interest to set up a large army. Ali Bahadur bribes the greedy merchants, and they defect. The merchants decline Gangadhar's proposal. Ali Bahadur presents himself in the court of Jhansi as their ally. Ellis reads a message from Lord Dalhousie stating the East India Company's decision to make Ali Bahadur the King of Jhansi.

Ali Bahadur is arrested. Laxmi Bai tries to dissuade Gangadhar from going to Kanpur, but he leaves to meet Lord Dalhousie. Consumed with greed, Ali Bahadur states his overconfidence in getting the throne of Jhansi to Rao Dulhajo. Lord Dalhousie deceives Gangadhar into believing that, in return for the British flag being reinstated on the commissary, he would maintain Gangadhar's rulership and give the merchants' money to him. Laxmi Bai threatens Ali Bahadur. Rao Dulhajao helps him escape.

No overview available.

Laxmi Bai saves Tatya Tope from the attackers. They find a lifeless Gangadhar in the lake. Tatya Tope blames himself for the lapse in security. Whilst everyone gives up, Laxmi Bai refuses to accept the fact. Everyone's hopes are revived when they see some movement in Gangadhar. An unconscious Gangadhar is brought back to Jhansi and a deathly silence welcomes them. Lord Dalhousie refuses to believe Ali Bahadur till an official statement is issued from the palace regarding Gangadhar's death.

Gangadhar refuses to consume the allopathic medicine given by Ellis's doctor. Everyone is pleased to see a conscious Gangadhar. Gangadhar tells the priests to chant the mantras for the crowning ceremony and places his crown on Anand Rao. Gangadhar breathes his last longing for Damodar. Jhansi is grief-stricken. Losing the desire to live, Laxmi Bai states the desire to give up everything. Vahini Saheb comforts her. Dalhousie rejoices and welcomes Ali Bahadur to be the King of Jhansi.

Laxmi Bai requests to be left alone with Gangadhar's body. She cleans his wound and readies him for his last journey. Remembering her special moments with Gangadhar, Laxmi Bai's sole thought is to join Gangadhar and Damodar. The people of Jhansi plead with Laxmi Bai not to abandon them. Ali Bahadur motivates his soldiers to capture Jhansi and, putting his flag in the British commissary, heads towards the fort. Gangadhar is laid on the pyre, and the widow's ritual begins for Laxmi Bai.

Raghunath and Tatya Tope urge a numb Laxmi Bai to defend Jhansi from Ali Bahadur. The people of Jhansi plead with her to save them. Laxmi Bai is woken from her stupor by Gangadhar's soul, who admonishes her for ignoring the pleas of the people and urges her to return to her identity of Kranti Guru. Rising like a phoenix, she orders Tatya Guru to combat Ali Bahadur while she pays her last respects to Gangadhar's lit pyre. Laxmi Bai threatens Ali Bahadur and forces him to run for his life.

Laxmi Bai cuts Ali Bahadur's arm with her sword. Dalhousie is angry at his plan being foiled again. Looking at her portrait sketched by Gangadhar, Laxmi Bai misses him and Damodar. Amongst Gangadhar's clothes, she finds his last letter written to her, and she breaks down. Laxmi Bai announces a warning to all the traitors, especially the merchants, that Gangadhar's ashes will not be immersed till the British are ousted from Jhansi. Hamilton, a cruel British officer, gets orders to go to Jhansi.

A furious Laxmibai asks Shyam Chaudhary and the other treacherous traders to leave Jhansi for supporting the British and not protecting their motherland. Shyam Chaudhary apologises to her and promises to lend her his support. Moropant tells Laxmibai that Anand needs to perform a ritual and be cleansed with Holy Water. When the ritual gets completed, Moropant and the others are shocked to see that Anand is missing. A worried Moropant informs Laxmibai that Anand is missing. Hamilton, who arrives in Jhansi, sees Anand alone and crying in the forest. He realises that Anand is the Prince of Jhansi. Later, the East India Company flag is hoisted at the Commissionerate by Hamilton. Just then, he sees Anand crying and his dogs barking at Anand. Meanwhile, Laxmibai pleads with her subjects to help her find Anand. Ellis too promises to trace Anand. The wicked Hamilton decides to set his dogs loose on Anand.

Ellis arrives at the nick of time and rescues Anand from Hamilton's dogs. Hamilton introduces himself as the Special Political Agent of Jhansi. Hamilton accuses Ellis of not annexing Jhansi and promises to set things right now. Meanwhile, Laxmibai is delighted to hear that Anand is safe. Ellis then informs Laxmibai about Hamilton and his motive to create problems because the throne of Jhansi was now empty. After hearing about Hamilton from Ellis, Laxmibai decides to hold a coronation ceremony for Anand. He is renamed Damodar Rao Nevalkar and crowned the king. Hamilton informs her that the East India Company has refused to accept the adoption as legal, and that's why as per the Doctrine of Lapse, Jhansi would be annexed. She vows not to ever give Jhansi away. Ellis then tells Hamilton that the Queen of England had the right to reject Lord Dalhousie's new order, and that Laxmibai could challenge it.

When Laxmibai talks about war, Hamilton mocks her about her inferior weapons compared with the might of East India Company, but she warns him that every child in Jhansi would fight the British and drive them out. Shyam Chaudhary arrives then and declares that the traders would sacrifice everything they have to protect their motherland. Keeping the impending implementation of the Charter Act in mind, Lord Dalhousie realises that he cannot afford to take a wrong step, so he decides to appeal against Laxmibai instead. Laxmibai hires her trusted lawyer and confidante, John Lang, to fight her case in England. Three years pass by, and there is still no verdict about the case. On the other hand, the East India Company continues to create havoc and annex Bundelkhand and other weaker states so that they are unable to help Jhansi.

Lord Dalhousie gets anxious hearing about the revolt arising in his army, so he decides to use the enmity between the neighbouring states of Orchha and Jhansi to his advantage. Hamilton asks him to fuel the bitterness between Ladai Sarkar, the Queen of Orchha and Laxmibai. Meanwhile, John Lang informs Laxmibai that the Queen of England has rejected her appeal, so Laxmibai willingly accepts the verdict and promises that a united India would create a revolt that would drive the British out of India. However, she is disheartened to see the malfunctioning ammunitions in Jhansi and is informed that Ghaus Khan makes the best cannonballs. On the other hand, while Ghaus Khan fires the cannon to test it, Hamilton watches him and quietly puts a part of the wreckage inside the Orchha border.

Larai Sarkar agrees to participate in the annual flag-hoisting sport. She fails to break Ghaus Khan's spirit. Laxmi Bai urges Tatya Tope to stay back in Jhansi.

The King of Datia welcomes the royal members to the game and thanks Ladai Sarkar and Laxmibai for participating. Ladai Sarkar gets furious when the spectators assure Laxmibai that she will emerge victorious again. She vows to have the flag of Orchha fly high this time. The game begins and the two queens take a different route. During the course of the game, Laxmibai tries to broker peace but Ladai Sarkar vows not to befriend Laxmibai because the Nevalkar family had betrayed Orchha. Laxmibai tries to convince her to return Ghaus Khan but Ladai Sarkar asks her to return Jhansi to her! Laxmibai then tells her that it was a ploy by the British to annex not just Jhansi but Orchha as well.

The two queens prod away on separate ways, and a scream is then heard. Meanwhile, in Jhansi, Raghunath informs his army that Laxmibai has been held captive by Ladai Sarkar and readies them for a war against Orchha and its queen. The informant tells Nelson about the turn of events. Nelson is happy. When Hamilton informs Nathey Khan, who is like a brother to Ladai Sarkar as well as the commander of her army, about the unfolding events, he is surprised at the irresponsibility of his sister to take on the mighty Laxmibai. Just then, he is informed that Ladai Sarkar's life may be in danger and she may have been held captive by enemies. Hamilton instigates Nathey Khan against the King of Datia for joining hands with Laxmibai. Nathey Khan readies his army for a battle against the King of Datia. Hamilton is happy.

Raghunath and Tatya Tope release Ghaus Khan from prison. Back at the playground, the spectators laud Ladai Sarkar when they see her approaching the finishing line. However, her happiness is short-lived when she hears Laxmibai tell her that she was carrying the flag of Jhansi! Laxmibai emerges as the winner and she posts the flags of Jhansi and Orchha on the finishing line. She tells the King of Datia that her motive was to have a united India to drive the British away. Hamilton arrives then and informs Ladai Sarkar that Tatya Tope had entered the palace of Orchha with his battalion. Ladai Sarkar is enraged with Laxmibai for betraying Orchha once again and declares war. Laxmibai tries to explain to Hamilton that the British want to create internal enmity, and urges Ladai Sarkar to join forces against them.

Ladai Sarkar tells everyone that Jhansi and Orchha were united now. Hamilton asks Ladai Sarkar to check out the truth in Orchha, so she slaps him and has him arrested. Laxmibai promises him that there would soon be a day when all of India would unite and he'd have to run! Laxmibai prays that Raghunath and Tatya Tope are in Jhansi and not in Orchha. Ladai Sarkar takes Laxmibai to her ancestral temple and narrates tales about her lineage. Back in Jhansi, Moropant is shocked to learn that Laxmibai and Ladai Sarkar have become friends, so he senses a conspiracy. Meanwhile, Ladai Sarkar takes Laxmibai near her palace and orders that she be arrested! Ladai Sarkar warns her that Jhansi will once again belong to Orchha. Laxmibai is stunned at being betrayed.

Nelson sends Laxmibai to her cell. On the other hand, Hamilton vows to annex Orchha along with Jhansi to seek vengeance for getting slapped by Ladai Sarkar. Meanwhile, Ladai Sarkar calls for Laxmibai to be presented in court. She taunts Laxmibai that she could make the British as well as her dance to her tune, and that the British would give her their army if she needed. Ladai Sarkar then goes to burn the flag of Jhansi but Laxmibai retorts that the flag belonged not just to Jhansi but to entire India. Laxmibai then jumps on the burning flag and salvages it. She accuses Ladai Sarkar of becoming a queen only after being the lackey of the British. Laxmibai also accuses her of being a coward. Ladai Sarkar then accepts Laxmibai's challenge for a battle.

Laxmibai and Ladai Sarkar address their respective armies and goad them to fight the enemy, although with stark different perspectives. A fierce battle ensues between Orchha and Jhansi. One of Orchha's soldiers throws a spear at Laxmibai and she falls from her horse. Laxmibai is held captive. She then recalls Anand preparing her for the battle and asking her to return victorious. Laxmibai fights back with renewed vigour. However, the enemy traps her into falling in a pit. To her surprise, she sees Acharya come to her rescue. The battle again continues and by sunset it is declared that Laxmibai's army is the winner for the day. Laxmibai reminds Ladai Sarkar that she must release one of her jailed warriors. Raghunath Singh is released and he thanks her. A furious Ladai Sarkar tells her confidantes that they must win the war, by fair means or unfair!

The battle begins, and Laxmibai's first line of men fall prey to the deadly arrows used by Ladai Sarkar, so she orders her second line of soldiers to attack the enemy. However, their arrows fail to hurt the enemy, so Laxmibai bravely wards off their arrow. Just then, Laxmibai's Women's Army arrive to fight. When Raghunath sees his soldiers dying one by one, he pleads with Laxmibai not to put her life in danger. The Prime Minister too pleads with her. Just then, the bugle is blown, and a triumphant Ladai Sarkar announces that victory was hers today! Laxmibai is devastated to see the dead bodies of her soldiers. As per the conditions laid, Ladai Sarkar orders that Tatya Tope be brought to her to be killed. When the cremation of the soldiers is on, Laxmibai recalls Bandu talking about the fatal arrows.

Rao Dulajo tells Laxmibai and her confidantes that Nathey Khan is the bravest of the soldiers and it would be tough to capture him. Laxmibai says that her motive was only to end the war, and for that, all she needed was Ladai Sarkar, dead or alive. She declares that victory would be theirs the next day. Laxmibai and Ladai Sarkar engage in a fierce fight and Laxmibai overpowers her. However, the latter manages to escape. She holds Nathey Khan captive and promises him that he would fight for Jhansi now! She warns him that when the commander is held captive, the morale of its soldiers gets shaken. Nathey Khan threatens that Ladai Sarkar will never bow or get defeated. Laxmibai vows to have his illusion broken the next day. Nathey Khan says that she cannot harm him because Tatya Tope was in a prison in Orchha.

Ladai Sarkar gets furious with Tatya Tope for slapping her. She orders that he be imprisoned. An enraged Tatya Tope taunts her that Laxmibai can win the battle without him but she cannot win it without Nathey Khan! Ladai Sarkar then goes to Hamilton to seek the help of the British Army. He refuses and says that he had warned her against fighting Laxmibai. Ladai Sarkar reminds him that Laxmibai was the only woman who had shaken the East India Company, so even he wanted Laxmibai defeated. Ladai Sarkar seeks gunpowder from him in huge amounts. Meanwhile, in Jhansi, Damodar refuses to eat anything from Moropant's hand. At Laxmibai's camp, a messenger from Orchha reads a letter from Ladai Sarkar for Laxmibai saying that she was willing to exchange Tatya Tope for Nathey Khan in the battlefield.

Acharya advises her to heed Damodar's wish and stay back. Her confidantes assure her that they would not only bring back Tatya Tope safely but break Ladai Sarkar's arrogance as well. Raghunath and the Prime Minister confront Ladai Sarkar in the battlefield and demand the release of Tatya Tope, and ask her to abide by the conditions laid. Tatya Tope and Nathey Khan start walking toward their respective camps when fire is lit near the ground filled with gunpowder. Ladai Sarkar gestures to Nathey Khan to run towards the galloping horse. Tatya Tope too runs but, unfortunately, steps on the ground covered with gunpowder and dies in the blast. Raghunath and the Prime Minister are shocked at his death. Acharya declares the end of the battle for the day.

Laxmibai is totally shattered to see Tatya Guru's dead body. She declares that she can no longer fight this battle. Rao Dulajo informs Ladai Sarkar that Laxmibai will not fight the battle anymore. Ladai Sarkar is delighted that she will be able to capture Jhansi soon, and invites Rao Dulajo for the celebrations. On the other hand, Ladai Sarkar vows to Tatya Tope that he will become the commander of her army, but he promises to sing praises only of Laxmibai. Ladai Sarkar then informs him that Laxmibai was mourning his death. However, Tatya Tope warns Ladai Sarkar that Laxmibai will surely come in search of him. Meanwhile, Laxmibai promises Acharya that Tatya Guru and she will write history in the battle the next day, because none other than Kranti Guru would rescue Tatya Guru!

When Laxmibai asks Acharya if she was being amoral in her strategy, he assures her that she must abide by the duty of a disciple. Laxmibai tells him that she will be taking a few members of the Women's Army and asks him to create a special chariot for her. Acharya and his disciples make a chariot with sharp spokes near its wheels. Meanwhile, Ladai Sarkar continues to torture Tatya Tope but he vows to confront her in the battlefield the next day! Laxmibai dons herself as Kranti Guru and leaves to save Tatya Guru. She promises a sleeping Damodar that she would free Tatya Guru by the next morning. Laxmibai sets out to achieve her mission with her Women's Army. On the other hand, at Ladai Sarkar's camp, celebrations are on, and Rao Dulajo too participates in it. Laxmibai lights torches along one side of the hill. Seeing this, a guard informs Nathey Khan that they are going to be attacked.

Nathey Khan orders his men to head towards the lit torches to fight the army from Jhansi. Laxmibai's Women's Army set the camp area aflame. Ladai Sarkar orders all her soldiers to attack, including those guarding Tatya Tope. Rao Dulajo decides to escape. Ladai Sarkar and Nathey Khan go in two different directions with their soldiers. Laxmibai threatens one of the soldiers near the camp to tell her where the prisoners were held. Kranti Guru sees Ghaus Khan and Bandu, and reveals her true identity to them. However, they say that they were not aware about Tatya Guru's whereabouts. She asks them to free the other prisoners, and then sets to fight the soldiers to search for Tatya Guru. Meanwhile, Tatya Guru gains consciousness and screams. On hearing this, Ladai Sarkar orders her men to head back to the tent.

Ladai Sarkar is in hot pursuit of Laxmibai when a religious ceremony stops her. The mendicant asks Ladai Sarkar to bow before the goddess. Laxmibai then warns Ladai Sarkar not to fight on an auspicious day and leaves. Ladai Sarkar orders the procession to stop and prays to the goddess. She promises to make a sacrifice to appease the goddess. Laxmibai proudly declares that she has brought back Tatya Guru. Rao Dulajo is shocked. When the physician is stitching up Tatya Tope, Damodar cringes with fear but Laxmibai asks him to be fearless warrior. Despite the physician's restriction, Tatya Tope vows to fight the battle and avenge Ladai Sarkar.

Ladai Sarkar is desperate to find out about Laxmibai's strategy and enters the tent where Tatya Tope was held prisoner. She senses something beneath her feet and unearths an inscription of Goddess Durga. She tries to decode the drawing. Tatya Tope explains to Laxmibai and his confidantes the strategy for the next day. He asks his men to change the war tactics and not offer support to the queen. He says that their first aim would be to surround Ladai Sarkar. On the other hand, Ladai Sarkar manages to decipher the drawing and tells Nathey Khan about Jhansi's battle plans. She orders her men not to attack the warriors until Laxmibai was close to her. Ladai Sarkar explains her counter-strategies to them.

Ghaus Khan tells Tatya Tope that he needs to test the cannonballs before using it in the battle. A worried Laxmibai sees images of Gangadhar asking Damodar to wait and wonders why he's asking his son to wait. Laxmibai tells Tatya Tope about her nightmare. He assures that she and he would not let any harm befall Jhansi. Meanwhile, Rao Dulajo informs Nelson that only Moropant and Damodar were in the palace. Nelson gives Rao Dulajo a letter for Laxmibai supposedly written by Ellis. When on his way, Ellis sees a veiled woman crying but to his shock, masked men surround him. A fight ensues but Ellis gets hit on the head and he collapses. On the other hand, the British attack the soldiers inside the Jhansi Fort.

Meanwhile, Ladai Sarkar discusses the next day's strategies with Hamilton and says that she will get back Jhansi. Ghaus Khan shows Laxmibai and her confidantes the power of the cannonballs created by him. At the break of dawn, Orchha and Jhansi armies assemble on the battlefield. Laxmibai tells her soldiers that she never wanted to wage a battle against fellow Indians but Ladai Sarkar compelled her to. On the other hand, Ladai Sarkar exhorts her soldiers to slay their enemies and if need be, even become martyrs.

Ladai Sarkar orders her men not to attack Laxmibai till she and her ten confidantes close in. When they do, Ladai Sarkar asks her soldiers to strike. Laxmibai and Ladai Sarkar's men fight. Laxmibai marches towards Ladai Sarkar and into her trap. A shocked Tatya Tope realises that Ladai Sarkar has used his own tactics and warns Laxmibai not to march ahead but it's too late because Ladai Sarkar's men surround Laxmibai. Ladai Sarkar and Laxmibai confront each other. Laxmibai and Ladai Sarkar have a war of words, with the former calling Ladai Sarkar a coward. Meanwhile, Tatya Tope summons Raghunath, Sunder, Bandu and Ghaus Khan. He says that they must change their strategy and divert the attention of the Orchha Army. Laxmibai fights with Ladai Sarkar and spares her again but Ladai Sarkar exhorts her soldiers to finish off Laxmibai!

When Hamilton reads Nelson's message that he has captured Jhansi, he is delighted and directs his army to head to Jhansi. Meanwhile, a triumphant Ladai Sarkar says that Jhansi would soon belong to Orchha. Her happiness is short-lived when she sees Hamilton and his men retreat. Laxmibai reminds Ladai Sarkar that they British are their enemies but Ladai Sarkar goes to kill her. However, Laxmibai drops her to the ground and she faces a humiliating defeat. Tatya Tope enchains Ladai Sarkar and Nathey Khan and takes them to Laxmibai's camp. Nathey Khan manages to free himself and stabs Laxmibai in the back. She collapses. The physician tells Tatya Tope that Laxmibai is in coma. Even in her comatose state, Laxmibai continues to dream about Gangadhar and her past. A dejected Tatya Guru tells Laxmibai that Jhansi awaits her.

Tatya Tope tells Laxmibai that Damodar will not be able to live without her. Moropant realises that he must find a way to convey the news to Laxmibai about Jhansi's annexation. So one of the soldiers pretends to be dead and the British soldiers drag him out of the palace along with the other dead bodies. He then escapes from the fort. Meanwhile, Acharya tells Tatya Tope that something untoward has happened and he will have to revive Laxmibai. At the other tent, Nathey Khan starts laughing aloud saying that only Ladai Sarkar was the queen because Laxmibai would not survive. Tatya Tope decides to teach Nathey Khan a lesson and drags him with a rope. Tatya Tope announces to Ladai Sarkar and Nathey Khan that Laxmibai is still alive. Nathey Khan pleads for mercy but Tatya Tope reminds him how he had backstabbed Laxmibai in return for her kindness.

Ladai Sarkar and Laxmibai confront each other. Laxmibai and Ladai Sarkar have a war of words, with the former calling Ladai Sarkar a coward. Meanwhile, Tatya Tope summons Raghunath, Sunder, Bandu and Ghaus Khan. He says that they must change their strategy and divert the attention of the Orchha Army. Laxmibai fights with Ladai Sarkar and spares her again but Ladai Sarkar exhorts her soldiers to finish off Laxmibai! Nathey Khan and his men manage to surround her but just then, explosions occur and Laxmibai holds Nathey Khan captive.

Laxmibai warns Nelson that Jhansi belonged to her, and would always do so. She promises to return to Jhansi. She also vows that she would celebrate Damodar's birthday with her parents and son before sunset the next day. Hamilton warns Nelson that Laxmibai would surely return but Nelson assures him that their army would tackle her. He also reminds Hamilton that their spy, Rao Dulajo, would inform them about Laxmibai's moves. Raghunath calls his soldiers and informs them that they would attack the town of Jhansi first next morning so that Hamilton would send his men there. Laxmibai says that she will enter Jhansi in the night itself. Rao Dulajo sends a message that Laxmibai would attack the town of Jhansi the next morning. Laxmibai enters the palace when Hamilton opens the gates for the rations. Hamilton realises that he was misled when he's informed that Nelson was chasing Laxmibai.

Laxmibai promises Nelson that she will return to take back Jhansi from him. Seeing Ellis hold him at gunpoint, Nelson vows to destroy him. While Ellis is questioning Nelson, one of the British guard hits Ellis on the head, and Ellis collapses. Meanwhile, Laxmibai's confidantes bravely fight Hamilton and his men.

Laxmibai gets Ellis treated. When she realises that Tatya Guru is not pleased with her decision, she promises to get back the fort. Lord Dalhousie seeks to have huge reinforcements sent to Jhansi to help Nelson protect Jhansi Fort. Laxmibai tells her confidantes that there were very few British soldiers inside the fort presently and thus, it was the best time to attack. Ghaus Khan gets his ammunitions and men towards Jhansi. At the camp, Laxmibai decides that she will attack and not wait for Ghaus Khan's army or hers to arrive. Laxmibai decides to enter Jhansi Fort secretly but wonders how. Meanwhile, Nelson's strategy is to surround Laxmibai's army. Nelson revels in the royal luxuries and dons the king's attire. Nelson even enters Laxmibai's chamber and throws away her painting with Gangadhar. Laxmibai narrates about Gangadhar's and her life to little Damodar.

Nelson goes down the secret passage and is delighted to see the tunnel end at Jhansi town. Meanwhile, Ghaus Khan orders that the huge boulders be moved so that they can reach Jhansi faster by this route. Laxmibai is shocked and angry to see Nelson dressed as a king and strutting in the palace. Unknown to Laxmibai, Nelson informs Rao Dulajo about the secret tunnel and tells him to ask Laxmibai, Tatya Tope and Raghunath to enter the fort from the tunnel so that anyone accompanying her would get killed. Laxmibai too talks about the tunnel to her confidantes, including Rao Dulajo. Rao Dulajo suggests that she take either Tatya Guru or Raghunath along too but she says that she will enter the fort alone. However, Tatya Guru insists that she not go alone, so she decides to take Rao Dulajo, much to his shock! Rao Dulajo immediately sends a note asking Nelson to stop his plans but Raghunath comes just then and he drops the note.

Laxmibai's men inform Laxmibai that there is a huge boulder kept above the tunnel. A very worried Rao Dulajo tells that they are doomed because there is no escape. Meanwhile, Nelson triumphantly watches the mayhem in Jhansi. Inside the tunnel, one of Laxmibai's soldier's legs gets stuck under a boulder, so she asks Rao Dulajo to remove it. The soldier begs her to carry on but she promises to take him out of trouble and they succeed. Laxmibai finally manages to find an escape route. Hamilton decides to lay a trap for Laxmibai's confidantes and orders that the fort gates be opened so that his soldiers can kill Tatya Tope and the others. However, Tatya Tope and his soldiers fight bravely the British.

Nelson is shell-shocked to see his wife Mrs. Rose Nelson and his sister Ms. Jane Nelson with Laxmibai. Laxmibai orders that his soldiers surrender and that he release the prisoners of Jhansi. A frightened Nelson asks his men to drop their weapons. Laxmibai then orders that he vacate the palace and promises him a safe passage. When Nelson accuses her of kidnapping innocent women, she retorts that he too had seized her palace, holding Damodar at gunpoint! Rose pleads with Nelson to leave Jhansi but Hamilton refuses to vacate the palace, and orders Laxmibai to kill Nelson's family! The people of Jhansi too demand blood for blood but Laxmibai asserts that she will not kill them. Laxmibai assures Nelson that she will not harm his family but not release them either unless he vacates the palace.

Laxmibai assures Damodar that they would get back their fort today. Damodar promises never to let the British ever enter their fort again. A British officer, Dunlop, spots Ghaus Khan approaching with his men and attacks them but Ghaus Khan manages to escape. Laxmibai asks Nelson to take the safe passage but Hamilton warns Nelson not to. Nelson gets furious with Hamilton and holds him at gunpoint. Nelson asks his soldiers to drop their weapons first and leave the fort. On the other hand, Dunlop orders his men to enter the fort from the same gate from which Nelson will leave and thus corner Laxmibai. Unaware to Dunlop and his men, Ghaus Khan overhears this. Meanwhile, Nelson reaches the gate from which he will leave and asks Laxmibai to release his family. Laxmibai obliges. Nelson then asks Laxmibai that the gate be opened, so she asks her gatekeeper to do the needful.

Before Ghaus Khan is able to inform Laxmibai about the British ploy, a knife is thrown at his back. An injured Ghaus Khan informs Laxmibai that all their soldiers have been killed. Seeing the British Army outnumbering theirs, Tatya Guru tells Laxmibai that they must leave Jhansi but looking at the atrocities being inflicted on her subjects, she decides to fight them. Tatya Guru says that Jhansi would be orphaned if anything untoward were to happen to her. Chimnabai says that their homes have been set afire and vows never to forgive Laxmibai if her unborn baby was hurt. Laxmibai asks Tatya Guru and the others to escape but decides to stay back herself. Laxmibai vows to die for Jhansi. Nelson says that Jhansi is theirs and they only need to finish off the Queen of Jhansi. Rose scolds Nelson for wanting to kill the woman who had saved his family!

Lord Dalhousie is delighted to receive a telegram informing him that the flag of the East India Company would be unfurled the next morning on Jhansi Fort. Nelson and Hamilton rejoice at their victory. Nelson promises Hamilton that there will be song and dance, and gets Motibai to court but she refuses to comply to his wishes, so Nelson whips her. Nelson orders that she bent sent to the dungeon. Later, Rose meets Motibai in prison and apologises. Motibai pleads with her to help Laxmibai. Laxmibai wakes up with a start and wonders where she is. Sunder informs Laxmibai that the British had surrounded Jhansi and she was brought here for security reasons. A furious Laxmibai demands to know who dared to bring her here. Sunder replies that it was Tatya Tope. Meanwhile, Nelson tries to lure Rose with the riches and luxuries of Jhansi and says that the royal bed was now theirs, so she slaps him.

Tatya Guru tells Laxmibai that giving up one's life for one's motherland was a matter of pride but intentionally walking into the jaws of death was not bravery. Laxmibai warns him she cannot save her life while her subjects were being inflicted to atrocities. Meanwhile, Nelson mentions his strategy to attack Laxmibai so that there is no escape this time. Tatya Guru and Laxmibai continue to fight, when Rose asks them to stop fighting amongst themselves and let her husband's motive succeed. She tells Laxmibai that someone from their group has informed Nelson about her whereabouts and that Nelson would be here with the British Army. The next morning, Nelson, Hamilton and Dunlop arrive with their respective armies to Laxmibai's hideout. Nelson gets furious with Rao Dulajo when he finds the premises empty. Meanwhile, Laxmibai personally takes Rose to her palace. Laxmibai then tells Tatya Guru that she will meet him later as she has some work to complete.

Rose visits Motibai to ask her how to convey the message about Nelson intensifying his search for Laxmibai, so Motibai replies that there is a Laxmibai loyalist who would do the needful. Laxmibai continues to seek help from the neighbouring kingdoms to strengthen her army but alas! If any of them had possessed even an ounce of the love that Laxmibai had for her motherland, then India's history would have been different! Fear of the British and greed for power made all the kings of the other princely states decline from offering help to Laxmibai. Nelson is delighted to hear that Laxmibai and her followers were still wandering and deprived of food and money. Just then, he receives a telegram from Lord Dalhousie saying that he has sent a battalion from Gwalior to take away Jhansi's treasury. Meanwhile, Damodar keeps asking for food, so Laxmibai plucks some fruits and feeds it to Damodar.

Nelson is shocked to see Rose praying to a Hindu goddess but she reminds him that even the statue of Jesus was right next to it. Hamilton tells Nelson that they need to break the morale of the subjects of Jhansi. Nelson says that Laxmibai will now come as Kranti Guru to tackle the British but he will be alert this time! In Jhansi, Kranti Guru is surprised to hear about a reward from the British on her head as well as for anyone providing information about her. She feels dejected hearing the traders voicing their disapproval against her for rebelling against the British and returns to her hideout. Rose ends up being a messiah for a hungry Damodar and the others when she brings food for them. Rose informs Laxmibai about the British battalion arriving to take Jhansi's treasury away.

Captain Bheem informs Nelson that he is not Karma. Laxmi Bai combats British troops at Jhansi's border. She loses to Bheem and is chained and sees Bheem getting Jhansi's treasury.

A wicked Nelson decides to share his joy of having Laxmibai sealed in a barrel by parading her before the people of Jhansi to see. Meanwhile, Karma who is accompanying Dunlop to Gwalior with Jhansi's treasury, asks his soldiers to take a tea break. He then writes a letter to Mangal Pandey saying that Jhansi's treasury was being taken to Gwalior and that it must be returned to Queen Laxmibai. Karma also states that he regrets to have raised his hands on his dear queen and vows to protect his sister. However, the letter falls into the hands of Dunlop! Raghunath and Tatya Tope decide to implement their next plan of action. On the other hand, Nelson tells the subjects of Jhansi that the Queen of Jhansi was inside the barrel. When they refuse to believe him, he opens the barrel as proof.

Rose frees Laxmi Bai with an axe. Both cannot exit Jhansi's palace due to the tight security for a Valentine's Day party. An anglicised Tatya Tope and Raghunath slyly enter the party. Seeing her non-existent portrait's frame, Laxmi Bai remembers her time with Gangadhar. She plans to determine where Captain Bheem is with Jhansi's treasury. Tatya Tope and Raghunath narrowly evade Nelson. An anglicised Laxmi Bai hears Nelson gloat about Britain's win over Jhansi and Laxmi Bai's capture.

Rose presents Laxmi Bai to Nelson as her friend. Killing Nelson's aide, Tatya Tope and Raghunath don't find Laxmi Bai in the drum. Laxmi Bai reunites with the two. Captain Bheem seeks to visit Rampur to meet Mangal Pandey and orders a detour to Gwalior. He and his Indian moles kill the suspicious British officers. Due to a nearly dead Dunlop's scribbling on mud, Nelson assumes that Jhansi's treasury is in Rampur. Laxmi Bai's plot hoodwinks Nelson into thinking that she has it somewhere else.

Tatya Tope and Raghunath send Nelson on a wild goose chase. Laxmi Bai, who is disguised as Rana Bankura, and Karma, under the alias of a moneylender, fight for the treasury. An unveiled Laxmi Bai points out Rana Bankura's sacrifices for her land's freedom. When Karma sheds his disguise, she accuses Captain Bheem of treachery. He reveals how he became Captain Bheem to use Jhansi's treasury to fund India's freedom struggle and talks of British sepoy Mangal Pandey's secret patriotic leadership.

At Rampur's police base, Nelson kills an Indian patriot, accuses Karma of fooling the Britons and shoots him. Before he can unveil Rana Bankura, Mangal Pandey and his fellow sepoys kill British troops. Rana Bankura wounds Nelson's eye and unveils herself. Pandey realises she is Jhansi's queen, saves her from being shot by Nelson and reveals to her he is a British sepoy in Barrackpore. The two laud each other's valour. Nelson slits one of his Indian captors and uses the other as a shield to flee.

A one-eyed Nelson dodges Laxmi Bai. Lord Dalhousie visits Gwalior's British commissary to see Jhansi's treasury. Laxmi Bai informs Tatya Tope and her aides that Mangal Pandey had saved her life and Jhansi's treasury. She confers the treasury to Pandey to use it to free India. Nelson decides to use Rose slyly to reach Laxmi Bai and the treasury. Nelson telegraphs Lord Dalhousie that the British don't have Jhansi's treasury. Pandey plots Lord Dalhousie's killing to destabilise the British empire.

Rana Bankura loots Indian traders selling opium to the British. A British officer informs Lord Dalhousie about Laxmi Bai's key military aides, including Mangal Pandey. Pandey leaves for Barrackpore after being told that the British are killing revolutionary Indian troops there. Laxmi Bai plans to use Jhansi's forces to ambush Lord Dalhousie in Kumaanganj. Rao Dulhajo informs Nelson that Laxmi Bai is aware of Lord Dalhousie's impending arrival in Jhansi. Eunuchs block Nelson in pursuit of Rose.

Bithur's forces arrive and inform Laxmi Bai that the British seek to control Bithur. Laxmi Bai emotionally orders Tatya Tope to go there to protect Bithur. Chimna Bai angrily says that Laxmi Bai will struggle to defeat the British without her key aides. Laxmi Bai orders Raghunath to arrange a few actors and seeks an English cigar from Karma. In Kumaanganj, Indian opium traders are rewarded by Lord Dalhousie. Karma, disguised as an opium trader, slyly makes him smoke an opium cigar, dazing him.

Laxmi Bai and her aides take over Kumaanganj's British base after a bloody fight and hold Lord Dalhousie hostage. Rana Bankura telegraphs key British centres in India and demands Jhansi's handover to Laxmi Bai and the opium trade's stoppage. Humiliated British authorities agree to hand over Jhansi to Laxmi Bai. Nelson informs Lord Canning, the new Governor General, that he has a plan to kill Lord Dalhousie. Rao Dulhajo reveals to Laxmi Bai that Lord Dalhousie had masterminded Gangadhar's murder.

Seeing Rann Bankura, Nelson is certain that it is indeed Laxmibai. Nelson tells her that she will get Jhansi back but they would want Lord Dalhousie alive! Lord Dalhousie comes out of the cart, and Nelson is stunned to see him alive. Ellis tells Nelson that it was time for him to leave. Rose too bids goodbye to Laxmibai.Tatya Tope and Mangal Pandey are delighted to hear that Laxmibai has got back her Jhansi. Moropant is very proud of his daughter, so Chimnabai taunts that Laxmibai got Jhansi back only because a lot of blood was shed! Meanwhile, Laxmibai enters her palace. She exhorts her subjects to drive out every Englishman from India. Meanwhile, Lord Dalhousie is asked to leave India because of the shame he brought to the East India Company. Moropant is asked to crown Laxmibai on her victory and says that he is very proud of her. He then presents her with weapons. Laxmibai vows to protect Jhansi at all cost. On the other hand, Nelson vows to get back at Laxmibai.

Nelson informs Hamilton that he plans to create religious schisms in Jhansi. At Ghaus Khan's request, Laxmi Bai allows a Shia Muslim religious procession on Jhansi's soil. In her dear royal chamber ransacked by the British, Laxmi Bai finds a sketch of hers with Gangadhar. Nelson sees Rose with Laxmi Bai's sketch and puts her under house arrest. In the palace, Laxmi Bai remembers her fond time with Gangadhar and British betrayal of Jhansi. She tearfully burns Gangadhar's attire worn by Nelson.

Ghaus Khan thanks Laxmi Bai for finding an appropriate spot for 'taziya'. Raghunath proclaims that Hindus and Muslims will always live together in peace. Rose overhears Nelson and Rao Dulhajo plotting against Laxmi Bai. Disguised as a pundit, Dulhajo trips over the idol of Goddess Saraswati that he had placed. The people celebrating 'Basant' festival take it as a good omen and rush to claim the land, creating a tiff between them and the Muslims. Rose informs Laxmi Bai about Nelson's conspiracy.

On Rose's warning, Laxmi Bai rushes towards the land where the riot breaks out between the Hindus and the Muslims. She finds two women, one Hindu and the other a Muslim in labour. She asks the fathers of the babies to recognise which one of them belongs to which religion. She spills Karma and Ghaus Khan's blood and puts acroos the same question. When everyone fails to answer, Laxmi Bai urges them to unite against their real enemy, the British. She announces that the land belongs to all of them.

Laxmi Bai warns Nelson that the British empire will fall. Inspired by Laxmi Bai, the Indians in every state start challenging the British. At Lord Canning's orders, the British loot the trade provisions going out of Jhansi and look for Laxmi Bai's allies. Nana Saheb accepts the pension which Hillersdon, the Collector of Kanpur, offers him to leave Bithoor. Under the disguise of Rana Bankura, Laxmi Bai surrounds Nelson and is surprised to see another Rana Bankura present.

Laxmi Bai sees Nelson arresting and whipping Rana, taking her to be Laxmi Bai. When she tries to save Rana, Tatya Tope stops her from exposing herself. Laxmi Bai asks everyone to keep Rana's arrest a secret and let them continue to believe that Laxmi Bai is arrested. Rana writes a letter to Laxmi Bai asking her to stop worrying about her. When Rana's husband comes looking for her, Laxmi Bai realises that Rana is Jhalkari Bai. Laxmi Bai promises to save Jhalkari Bai.

The people of Jhansi try to stop Nelson and his men from taking Jhalkari away, and Laxmi Bai gets ready to leave for Kanpur. Nelson puts a sword against Jhalkari's neck but is interrupted by a messenger who informs him that Lord Canning will execute Jhalkari the next morning. A drunk Nelson finds a letter by Laxmi Bai saying that he will release her. Aided by her comrades, Laxmi Bai appears before Nelson who is shocked to see her free and runs to check. Laxmi Bai hits him and rescues Jhalkari.

Laxmi Bai cages Nelson with a donkey. Jhalkari states her indebtedness to Laxmi Bai. Laxmi Bai asks Pooran and Jhalkari Bai to keep it a secret that she resembles Laxmi Bai. Nelson's superior warns him that he will have to exit India ignominiously if he doesn't nab Laxmi Bai. Laxmi Bai tells Jhansi's cheery locals that the Britons had never held her hostage. Nelson finds a 'mangalsutra' and suspects that it could belong to Laxmi Bai's lookalike. Laxmi Bai tells Rose what a 'mangalsutra' means.

Jhalkari Bai tells Laxmi Bai about her missing 'mangalsutra'. Rao Dulhajo informs Nelson about a secret way to Jhansi. A goldsmith tells a disguised Nelson that the 'mangalsutra' is Jhalkari's. Nelson's bundle with Jhalkari's 'mangalsutra' in it, falls down. Laxmi Bai gives it to him. She tells Tatya Tope to scan Jhansi to track Nelson. A drunk Pooran tells Nelson's Indian traitor about Jhalkari and Laxmi Bai's friendly bond and agrees to take them to the palace for Jhalkari's 'gauna'.

Laxmi Bai urges Tatya Tope to watch out for Nelson's presence. A disguised Nelson joins Pooran's entourage to attend his wife Jhalkari Bai's marital 'gauna' and sneaks into Jhansi's royal palace to see Jhalkari Bai. After Laxmi Bai sees him, Hariya takes him away. Laxmi Bai applies 'tilak' on the entourage's members, including Nelson. Karma soon confirms her evidential suspicion that he is indeed Nelson. A blackened Jhalkari is presented to the guests as part of a ritual, which fools Nelson.

As Raghunath, Karma and Tatya Tope watch, Laxmi Bai lists Nelson's atrocities and is about to kill him. A teary Rose makes Laxmi Bai forgive Nelson. Laxmi Bai hires Puran for Jhansi's armed force. As Laxmi Bai states her childhood tales to her son, she also criticises Nana Saheb's self-centred surrender to the British to a disapproving Moropant. Laxmi Bai tells her council about Hindustan's political state and the need to ally with anti-British revolutionary states. Modh's prince comes to India.

Modh's prince Kunwar Yuvraj, a law graduate from England, is welcomed by his mother in Modh. The anglicised Yuvraj hears his pro-British father assuring the British governor that they would help the Britons nab the pro-people rebel Rana Bankura. Laxmi Bai rules in favour of a widow's remarriage. Tatya Tope informs Laxmi Bai that many anti-British states are in touch with Jhansi. As his mother says that she has found a bride for him, Kunwar reminisces lovingly his encounter with Manu as a child.

Laxmi Bai tells Moropant that Jhansi's welfare is supreme for her and not remarriage. King Shivraj tells his wife that Yuvraj wishes to stay abroad as a barrister. Yuvraj informs Lord Canning that he is aiding rebel Mangal Pandey's prosecution. Yuvraj tells Nelson about anti-slavery British laws. Nelson uses a naive Rose to tell Laxmi Bai that a barrister plans to present proof against Pandey. Nelson plans to trap Laxmi Bai while she, as Ran Bankura, and Karma try to seize the proof.

Laxmi Bai, as Ran Bankura, and Karma ride on horseback to help Mangal Pandey. Jhalkari Bai acts as Jhansi's queen. Hamilton mistakenly deems that Laxmi Bai is still in Jhansi. Gayatri worriedly tells King Shivraj that she saw Nelson and his aides following Yuvraj en route to Barrackpore. Mangal Pandey rouses patriotism in fellow inmates. A disguised Karma is on his way to seize the proof. A gypsy Laxmi Bai rebukes an anglicised Yuvraj for his deracination but doesn't get to know his identity.

A disguised Karma saves a gypsy Laxmi Bai from Nelson. As Ran Bankura, Laxmi Bai vows to explain the treachery to barrister Yuvraj. Karma, disguised as Ran Bankura, throws grenades in Yuvraj's gig's path, uprooting him. As Nelson and his sepoys follow Karma, Laxmi Bai, disguised as Ran Bankura, berates Yuvraj for being a traitor. Their fight makes Yuvraj almost fall off a cliff. As Laxmi Bai and Karma flee with Yuvraj's legal handbag, Nelson shoots her, but the bullet kills King Shivraj.

Yuvraj vows to rule Modh and immerse his father's ashes once he punishes his killer. Laxmi Bai realises that Rose telling her about the legal proof was Nelson's trick. A disguised Karma senses anti-Ran Bankura sentiment in Modh. Nelson informs Yuvraj that Ran Bankura doesn't want him to prosecute Pandey. Tatya Tope, a Kanpur battalion and Laxmi Bai plan to free Pandey from being hanged. En route to Barrackpore with Yuvraj, a disguised Karma overhears Nelson's plan to incite Modh-Jhansi enmity.

A disguised Karma overhears Yuvraj telling Nelson that Mangal Pandey's secret hanging will occur in Chirgaon. As Karma drives Yuvraj and Nelson to Chirgaon, a philosophising fakir annoys Yuvraj and Nelson. The fakir later hands Karma's message to Laxmi Bai, which reveals the way to the hanging site. Yuvraj and Nelson's soldiers ambush Karma. En route to the site, Laxmi Bai's loyalists and pro-British troops fight bloodily. Laxmi Bai opens a gig thinking that Pandey is inside, but finds Yuvraj.

Yuvraj, disguised as the executed patriot Mangal Pandey, traps Laxmi Bai, who has disguised herself as Ran Bankura. Nelson shoots Tatya Tope and batters Laxmi Bai as she is about to reveal to Yuvraj Nelson's deadly truth. Laxmi Bai is jailed in Modh's royal prison. Having immersed his father's ashes, Yuvraj welcomes his neighbouring allies, including Bithur's Nana Saheb, to his swearing-in ceremony. Amidst a national anti-British uprising, King Yuvraj shows a wounded Ran Bankura to Nana.

Nelson knows that the chained Ran Bankura is Jhansi's queen. As Nana Saheb sees cautiously, Ran Bankura accepts vaguely in the hostile Modh court that she killed Yuvraj's father and desists from revealing that Nelson has killed King Yuvraj's father as Nelson had threatened her that Karma would be butchered if she told the truth. Gayatri's pro-Nelson father wants a mad elephant to fatally crush Ran Bankura and vainly orders her unveiling. Ran Bankura convinces King Yuvraj to kill her in a duel.

After the Peshwa fights Modh's king, a sore Ran Bankura and Modh's king start a three-round sword fight. A hurt Tatya Tope, Ghaus Khan and Raghunath seek to free Laxmi Bai and Karma. Ran Bankura wins the first round, during which Nana Saheb recalls Manu's sword fighting. In the second round, Ran Bankura's sword poisons King Yuvraj. Rousing people's fury for Ran Bankura, Tikka Singh, who had poisoned her sword, summons a mad elephant to kill her. Karma is dragged to be hung.

Tatya Tope, Raghunath and Ghaus Khan save Karma. The three kill Modh's forces and leave with Ran Bankura after she tames the elephant. Laxmi Bai's horse, intimidated by Larai Sarkar, gets separated from Tatya Tope and Ghaus Khan. Larai Sarkar unveils Ran Bankura and accuses her of destabilising her reign. Accusing Laxmi Bai of killing her brother-in-law King Shivraj and her army commander, and of being a riotous ruler, Larai Sarkar sentences her to death as Nelson and her other allies watch.

Larai Sarkar declares her takeover of Jhansi. Ghaus Khan and Tatya Tope see a pro-Larai Sarkar Nana Saheb censuring Laxmi Bai. Amidst insinuations that Laxmi Bai killed her son and husband for power, she berates India's rulers' treachery. Nelson sarcastically lauds Laxmi Bai's nationalism. In Modh, Larai Sarkar informs Nelson that Hamilton had betrayed her state. Nelson assures her that a treaty will gift her Jhansi's administrative control. Tatya Tope and Ghaus Khan vow to free Laxmi Bai.

As an equestrian pulls a chained Laxmi Bai en route to Jhansi, Larai Sarkar and Nelson watch contentedly. Nana Saheb's callousness pains a disguised Tatya Tope, Raghunath Singh and Ghaus Khan. Larai Sarkar vows Laxmi Bai's sacrifice at a Maa Kali temple once her coronation as Jhansi's queen takes place. A tired Laxmi Bai's refusal to order the opening of Jhansi's city gate angers them. Moropant convinces a sceptical Narsingh to open the city gate at the Nana Saheb's request. A shock awaits them.

Nelson's abuse of Moropant angers Laxmi Bai. A chained Laxmi Bai's sight makes Jhansi's residents ponder the authenticity of the presently resident queen. Nelson orders a British officer to inform Hamilton that he is in Jhansi. Nelson informs Larai Sarkar that he has used her army to subdue Jhansi. Laxmi Bai berates Nana Saheb for allying with Nelson to quell the Orcha army and seal the Jhansi palace. Larai Sarkar is shocked when Nelson reveals to Laxmi Bai that he had killed Damodar.

Larai Sarkar supports Laxmi Bai's anti-British revolution. Jhalkari Bai takes Laxmi Bai's place in jail. Nelson oversees arrangements for Laxmi Bai's execution. Nelson orders the slaughter of Jhansi's pregnant women and children. Nana Saheb reveals to Laxmi Bai and Tatya Tope how he had freed them with Tatya's ex-student Mohan's help. Jhalkari Bai's hanging is stopped. Nana Saheb reveals his nationalism to Nelson. Laxmi Bai ensures Damodar's safety, and the natives corner a terrified Nelson.

Laxmi Bai recounts Nelson's atrocities against Moropant, her son, Gangadhar and Jhansi's helpless residents. Her elephant crushes Nelson to death amidst applause from her allies and the locals. An emotional Laxmi Bai expresses her desire to liberate all of India to the departed Gangadhar. Laxmi Bai informs Nana Saheb that the Queen's impending visit to India to celebrate the centenary of British sovereignty over their land is a chance for nationalists to assert their power.

Laxmi Bai's note to Queen Victoria warns the celebrators of 100 years of British rule over India about the deadly outcome on June 23. Queen Victoria orders Rose to end Jhansi's revolution either politically or militarily. Rose informs Queen Victoria about the tense pro-Laxmi Bai political situation in Jhansi and neighbouring areas. A disguised Rose hears Laxmi Bai's mutinous speeches addressing the natives and avoids capture by Karma. Laxmi Bai realises that Rose's mission has started in Jhansi.

Tatya Tope seeks that Laxmi Bai adjourn her revolutionary developments due to Rose's presence in Jhansi. Laxmi Bai allows a funeral for Nelson outside Jhansi. Karma, who has Rose's sketch, inspects a Christian priest and an accompanying coffin. Suspecting the priest, Laxmi Bai follows him to a church, where she sees Rose, who has emerged from the coffin. At Jhansi's court, Rose cunningly convinces Laxmi Bai to attend a peace party with Queen Victoria and other Indian royals close to Jhansi.

The departed Gangadhar advises Laxmi Bai to adhere to her decision to meet Queen Victoria in the face of popular dissent. As Rose is escorted out of the palace by Rao Dulhajo, she overhears Karma's wish to kill him. In a secret meet with her royal Indian allies in Rao Dulhajo's presence, Laxmi Bai declares her plan to detonate an explosives-filled cake during the peace ball on June 1 to kill top British officers, and she gets popular backing. Queen Victoria authorises Rose to finish Laxmi Bai.

Karma suspects an Indian mole's presence in the Jhansi camp. Queen Victoria wants Rao Dulhajo to be rewarded for his British loyalty. Rao Dulhajo exposes Laxmi Bai's deadly plan for the peace ball to Rose. At Rose's bureau, Nana Saheb realises that Queen Victoria has ordered the British military reinforcements for the ball and tells the Jhansi royalty about Rao Dulhajo's treachery. Laxmi Bai doesn't alter her plan for the ball. Queen Victoria wants the revolutionaries killed during the ball.

Edward informs Queen Victoria that the British sharpshooters are in India for the peace ball to kill Laxmi Bai and her allies. Tatya Tope's archery nearly kills Rao Dulhajo. At the ball, Nana Saheb ensures that Ghaus Khan, Rao Dulhajo, Raghunath and Tatya Tope enter the kitchen. The four and a disguised Karma try to link the bomb to the cake. Laxmi Bai informs the fencer, Captain Mac, about the oppressive British past in India. His racist condescension for Indian culture incenses Larai Sarkar.

Captain Mac provokes Larai Sarkar into fencing. After making the British troops leave the kitchen by giving them laxatives, Tatya Tope, Ghaus Khan and Raghunath make Rao Dulhajo link the bomb to the cake. The British sharpshooters activate their deadly plan. As Mac outshines Larai Sarkar, a sharpshooter aims at Laxmi Bai but can't kill her due to Tatya Tope blocking his vision. Before Larai Sarkar loses officially, Laxmi Bai challenges Mac to fence. Rose urges Mac to kill her while fencing.

Larai Sarkar admits to Laxmi Bai that Mac had insulted Jhansi's queen to provoke her. Mac and Laxmi Bai fence, with the former needing only a point to win. The snipers are told to kill Laxmi Bai on receiving an instruction. While fencing, Laxmi Bai notices the snipers and alerts Nana Saheb to it. As Laxmi Bai's ideal fencing trounces Mac, Tatya Tope's placement of a poisonous bomb kills the snipers. Larai Sarkar lauds Laxmi Bai's queenship and military skills in front of a deflated Mac and Rose.

Laxmi Bai informs her royal Indian allies at the peace ball that the Indian nationalists need to execute their plan. Rao Dulhajo informs Rose that there's a bomb in the cake. Rose refuses to cut the cake and provokes the Indian contingent. Amidst Indian unease, Laxmi Bai whispers to Larai Sarkar that the cake-cutting is necessary for the nationalists' success. A disguised Karma stops Dulhajo as he flees the venue. As Laxmi Bai is about to cut the cake, Rose and a few Britons move away from it.

When Laxmi Bai cuts the cake, there's no blast. A carriage explodes away from the ball's site, seemingly killing Rose, Mac and two more Britons. Fearing a blast, Rao Dulhajo and Hamilton flee from the cake but are nabbed by the patriots. Laxmi Bai and Karma explain the Indian plan that led to the unexpected events. Tatya Tope reveals the British bases being bombed outside Jhansi. Hamilton is told to flee and tell Queen Victoria about Jhansi's freedom and India's impending freedom on June 23.

Rao Dulajo is publicly tortured in Jhansi by the subjects. They demand that his body be thrown out of Jhansi. Laxmibai then exhorts her subjects to unite to destroy their enemies like Hugh Rose. Karma and Ghaus Khan visit the site of explosion and get worried when they realise that one British officer has escaped. They convey this bad news to Laxmibai and the others. Karma says that he suspects it is Hugh Rose. Laxmibai asks everyone to be on high alert. Meanwhile, Hugh Rose promises to seek revenge from Laxmibai. In England, Queen Victoria is furious hearing about the turn of events. She is then informed that Hugh Rose is still alive. Meanwhile, Nana Saheb tells Laxmibai that if the powerful kings of Gwalior, Datia and Banda join the revolution, then they could be victorious in acquiring independence.

Laxmi Bai assures Damodar she'd never leave him. A fit Rose, who has been ordered by Queen Victoria to foil Laxmi Bai's deadly plan for June 23, and Hamilton kill a pro-Laxmi Bai entourage from Gwalior. Damodar and Jhansi's kids participate in Ram Leela. Hamilton and Rose, disguised as Gwalior's entourage, enter Jhansi, hold hostage a pro-Jhansi missionary and his Christian converts at its commissary. King Yuvraj realises that Laxmi Bai is his boyhood's feisty Manu, whom he hasn't forgotten.

Moropant tells Laxmibai that Yuvraj is none other than the boy she had defeated in the game of `kabbadi'. He tells Laxmibai that he has learnt the truth about his father's death and thanks her for seeking revenge from Nelson for his father's death. He further asserts that he wants to join her in the revolution against the British. Meanwhile, Hamilton suggests to Hugh Rose to divert Laxmibai's mind from her goal. Later, Laxmibai is shocked to receive a letter from the King of Scindia about his refusal to join the June 23 revolution, little realising that it is a British ploy. Back in the palace, the prize distribution ceremony for children is on, but when Damodar's name is announced for the best performer, he does not turn up.

Damodar regains consciousness and starts banging on the chest, so Hugh Rose renders him unconscious again. When they are locking Damodar in the chest, his ring falls on the ground. A worried Laxmibai goes searching for Damodar and comes across his ring. She then realises that he has been kidnapped. Meanwhile, Tatya Tope orders Hugh Rose who is in disguise to open the chest but finds nothing. Just then, they hear a child crying and run towards the cart. However, it turns out to be another child. Hugh Rose takes this chance and escapes from Jhansi with the chest. On the other hand, Rao Dulajo asks Hamilton to recognise him. After leaving Jhansi, Hugh Rose recalls how Rao Dulajo had got the chests exchanged and kept Damodar in the commissionerate itself! Laxmibai is devastated and dejected, and just then, hears the mendicant singing

Laxmibai tells Moropant that Damodar has been abducted by none other than the British. Meanwhile, at the commissionerate, Damodar wakes up and recalls Hugh Rose kidnapping him. Raghunath orders his men to search all the missionaries at the commissionerate. Just then, Tatya Tope tells him that Laxmibai has summoned all the ministers. At the market place, Raghunath and Rao Dulajo bump into each other. Raghunath does recognise the voice but by then, Rao Dulajo has left. He informs Laxmibai about it, so she asks him to search for Rao Dulajo. Meanwhile, Rao Dulajo sneaks into the palace but is cornered by Laxmibai and Raghunath. Rao Dulajo informs Laxmibai that Damodar is held hostage at the commissionerate along with the missionaries. On the other hand, Hamilton and the other officers ill-treat Damodar. However, he gets the shock of his life seeing Laxmibai barge into the commissionerate!

Laxmibai and her confidantes fight with Hamilton and his men, and so does Rao Dulajo. Just then, Damodar cries out to her mother to save him but Hamilton takes Damodar away. However, Laxmibai manages to rescue him from Hamilton. She ties Damodar on her back and chases Hamilton. Laxmibai then throws a rope at him and drags him. Hamilton gets surrounded by Laxmibai and her confidantes, including Rao Dulajo. She beheads Hamilton and then burn him as a shocked Hugh Rose watches the incident from a distance. Hugh Rose decides to instigate her own people to go against Laxmibai and thereby break her strength. Meanwhile, Laxmibai and her confidantes are shocked when Damodar faints

An injured Laxmibai refuses to get herself treated till Damodar recovers. Later, Laxmibai and Moropant are delighted when Damodar regains consciousness but their happiness is short-lived when they learn that he has lost his voice. Meanwhile, Raghunath informs Laxmibai that the enraged subjects of Jhansi want even the missionaries sent out of their kingdom because they believe that the missionaries had supported the East India Company in kidnapping Damodar. At the commissionerate, Ghaus Khan is unable to continue the fury of the mob at the commissionerate. Raghunath requests Moropant to pacify the subjects of Jhansi. When the news about Damodar losing his voice reaches the mob, their fury knows no bounds! Moropant intervenes and pleads them to support their queen in this time of crisis.

The messenger informs Laddi that she has been summoned to the palace as the prince had stopped smiling and may have lost his voice. Laxmibai voices her worries to Gangadhar and vows to save Jhansi and its throne. Meanwhile, Hugh Rose is informed that the missionaries are being sent to Jhokan Baug to protect them. When Raghunath is taking away the missionaries, they are confronted by the subjects of Jhansi. A man in the crowd named Bakshish Ali voices his anger against the British. Ghaus Khan tells Raghunath that Bakshish Ali once worked for the British but had turned against them when the British had killed his family. Bakshish Ali and Ghaus Khan get into a war of words with the former inciting the crowd to attack the missionaries because they were responsible for the prince losing his voice but Raghunath stops them and asks them to heed their queen. Ghaus Khan asks them to wait for the queen's decision.

Laxmibai recalls Gangadhar saying that he would never touch English medicines, so she declines the doctor's help. Laxmibai says that she is sure there must be some Indian who will cure her son. Just then, Laddi arrives and displays her antics. Damodar smiles and Laxmibai rewards Laddi. Laxmibai asks Laddi to stay in the palace so that Damodar can recover fully. Meanwhile, an enraged Bakshish Ali is refused permission to meet Laxmibai, so he turns violent. The Prime Minister and Moropant go to meet the angry mob who demand the blood of the missionaries. Laxmibai then declares that the missionaries must leave Jhansi if its subjects were unhappy. However, she asserts that they would not be harmed as long as they were in Jhansi. On the other hand, Hugh Rose refuses to save the missionaries.

Moropant tells Laxmibai that he would write a letter to inform the subjects about the same. When Moropant is writing the letter, he goes to get the royal seal, and just then, Damodar takes the letter away. Moropant runs behind him. Damodar hits against a pillar and drops the letter before collapsing. A man exchanges the letter. Meanwhile, Moropant takes Laddi into confidence and says that they must find a way to get the English medicines for Damodar. Laddi goes out of the palace and gets the English medicines. On her way back, Laddi sees English soldiers dressing up as locals and planning a massacre. Back in the palace, Moropant then puts the royal seal on the letter without reading it and gives it to the Prime Minister. On the other hand, Ghaus Khan reads the queen's decision and is shocked that she wants the missionaries killed!

Jhansi's locals lynch and heat Rao Dulhajo to death. The thought of one Briton from his carriage having escaped death unsettles Karma, who informs Laxmi Bai about it. An incensed Queen Victoria is told about Rose still being alive. A wounded Rose vows to punish Laxmi Bai. Nana Saheb informs Laxmi Bai about Jhansi's possible major Indian allies against the British. She wants a communique to be sent to the leaders of the Indian states, requesting them to join Jhansi against the Britons.

Someone drops the original letter written by Moropant regarding the missionaries inside Chimna Bai's chambers. Laxmi Bai orders her ministers to match their footprints with the red-coloured ones in the garden. With the great battle on June 23 approaching, she feels alone. Rose is worried as there is no news from the spy in Jhansi. Nana Saheb shares his plan of asking the patriotic Indian soldiers in the British army to sabotage the British army's attack on Jhansi with Tatya Tope.

The tribals refuse to trust Laxmi Bai and so do the others. Laxmi Bai defends herself, and the revolutionaries pledge their allegiance to the freedom movement. On seeing someone eavesdropping, Laxmi Bai follows him and chances upon a telegraphic machine being used to communicate with the British and finds a finger ring in the machine. Karma is absconding and, being the only one who knows how to operate the telegraphic machine, everyone suspects him. Karma admits that the finger ring is his.

Not trusting anyone, Laxmi Bai whips Karma angrily. The late Gangadhar blesses Laxmi Bai for her mission of getting freedom from India. Tatya Tope's message spurs the patriotic Indian soldiers to take over the Kanpur battalion of the Britons. A wounded Karma sees Laddi sending a telex message to Rose, apprising him of the venue for the meeting of the revolutionaries in Gwalior. Laxmi Bai leaves alone for the battle and sees Kali, a tribal girl. Kali finds Karma, who has been knifed by Laddi.

Capturing Laxmi Bai's fellow revolutionaries, Rose holds her at gunpoint. A fearless Laxmi Bai threatens Rose, who confirms her suspicion that Laddi is the British mole in her palace. Laxmi Bai gets shot and Karma, along with Kali and her fellow tribals, joins Laxmi Bai. In combat, Laxmi Bai and Karma get gravely injured. Before escaping, Laxmi Bai hoists Jhansi's flag on the cantonment. Upon seeing the arrival of a lifeless Laxmi Bai and Karma on horseback, Laddi decides to kill Damodar.

To catch Laddi unawares, Laxmi Bai and Karma stage their death. Pre-empting her victory, Laddi informs Rose about Laxmi Bai's death and a promise to send Damodar's dead body. Rose, with his army, arrives at the city gate of Jhansi. Rose is shocked to see Laddi's dead body in the coffin. Laxmi Bai warns Rose. Nana Saheb and Tatya Tope capture Kanpur. Damodar brings a sketch of a foot with six toes. Karma finds Laddi's letter to Kalva and realises that he was Laddi's accomplice.

Laxmi Bai and her ministers find Kalva hanging from a tree and see his six-toed feet. Laxmi Bai apologises to her ministers for suspecting them. The war strategy is discussed. Kashi and Kali are given important positions. Rao Dulhajo reacts adversely to Raghunath for undermining his capabilities because of his physical disability. He challenges Raghunath for a duel and, faking his disability, overpowers him. Rao Dulhajo removes the fake sixth toe from his feet and is pleased with his feat.

Rao Dulhajo relives masterminding the conspiracy against Laxmi Bai. Rose awaits Rao Dulhajo's message. Intimidated by the size of the British army and their arms and ammunition, the Jhansi soldiers want to quit, but Laxmi Bai inspires them to fight for their motherland. Kali overhears the sound of the telex machine being operated by Rao Dulhajo and stations a guard outside the room. Chimna Bai deters Moropant from fighting the war. The womenfolk of Jhansi join Laxmi Bai to protect their land.

While Kali prepares the arrows, Damodar runs away with one. Rose sends a message to Laxmi Bai asking her to surrender. Armed with her people's support, Laxmi Bai declares war at sunrise. Damodar sees Rao Dulhajo standing on his two legs. Rao Dulhajo threatens Damodar. Damodar breaks the telex machine. Unable to communicate with Rose, Rao Dulhajo gets restless. From the Orchha gate, where he is deputed, he calls his name loud and clear for the British to hear. Kashi questions him.

Having conveyed his presence at the Orchha gate to the British, Rao Dulhajo sends all the soldiers away and, professing his love for Kashi, urges her to join him. On Kashi's refusal, he slashes her throat. Rao Dulhajo opens the Orchha gate. A bloody war ensues, and the people are taken into the palace. Kali takes Kashi to the safety of the palace. Chimna Bai is worried for Moropant. Laxmi Bai tries to stop Rao Dulhajo, who opens the other gates of Jhansi. Laxmi Bai faces Rose and his army alone.

Kali and her Women's Army arrive to help Laxmibai fight Hugh Rose and his men! A bitter fight ensues. Karma informs that there is a huge British contingent waiting outside Jhansi. Laxmibai's confidantes advise Laxmibai to get inside the Fort of Jhansi and attack the British. Seeing that the British were numerically stronger than them, Laxmibai agrees to go to the fort. All the citizens of Jhansi are brought inside the palace. Meanwhile, just as they enter the palace, Laxmibai sees Damodar waiting outside. Hugh Rose begins firing around Damodar. Laxmibai goes to save him. Karma and Raghunath too arrive just in and rescue Laxmibai and Damodar. Meanwhile, the East India Company hoists their flag in Jhansi.

In the palace, Kashi succumbs to her injuries but before breathing her last, she apologises to Laxmibai for failing to protect the Orchha exit. Laxmibai vows to Rao Dulajo that she will seek vengeance from him for Kashi's death. Just then, Ghaus Khan fires at the British camp but Hugh Rose manages to remain unscathed. Laxmibai tries to fire the cannon but it does not work! Raghunath informs Laxmibai that all the cannons were rendered useless! Laxmibai asks Ghaus Khan to repair them. Meanwhile, Rao Dulajo suggests to Hugh Rose to hide in a mausoleum with his men. The British continue to fire at Laxmibai's men from there but Laxmibai's soldiers watch helplessly.

Laxmibai vows not to let Ghaus Khan's sacrifice go a waste. Laxmibai orders that his last rites be observed as per the Islamic customs. Meanwhile, Rao Dulajo tells Hugh Rose that Laxmibai has no cannons nor does anybody know how to make explosives. However, Hugh Rose is worried because he has no cannons and his army is depleting. Rao Dulajo tells him of a plan. At the palace, there is nobody to offer the last prayers to Ghaus Khan, so Laxmibai asks Bakshish Ali, a once sworn enemy of Ghaus Khan, to do the needful. On the other hand, Rao Dulajo reaches with his men near the granary of the palace and burns it, while Karma and Kali fight Hugh Rose and his men. Laxmibai and the others finish with the formalities of burying Ghaus Khan. She then runs towards the granary and finds the food grains on fire. Just then, an explosion occurs and Laxmibai is injured. Seeing this, Hugh Rose orders a ceasefire.

With already enough troubles in her hand, Laxmibai is shocked to find even the water adulterated. Laxmibai feels helpless seeing her citizens, especially children, hungry. Inside the palace, Chimnabai taunts Moropant that her unborn baby has to remain hungry because of Laxmibai! Laxmibai arrives then and sees that her maid is about to feed Damodar. She narrates the story of Lord Krishna to Damodar who had only one morsel of rice when he had unexpectedly come to meet Draupadi, so Damodar too has only one grain of rice. Laxmibai gives the food to Chimnabai. Overwhelmed, Chimnabai refuses to have the food at the cost of Damodar remaining hungry. Karma and Laxmibai are relieved when they see that sacks of food grains have arrived. However, they get shocked seeing the mutilated body of a food trader! Laxmibai reads the letter sent by Hugh Rose saying that his men were hungrier, so they decided to keep the ration for themselves!

Hugh Rose is informed that Captain Clark's army had arrived, so they would have more arms and men! Laxmibai and her confidantes are worried. Help arrives in the form of Tatya Tope who arrives in Jhansi with his battalion. Laxmibai meets her wounded soldiers and tends to them. She then exhorts them to fight for their motherland. The soldiers promise to fight against the British till their last breath! Tatya Tope discusses his strategy against the British with his men. Thousands of miles away, Laxmibai was proving to be a major concern for Queen Victoria, so she decides to send her bravest but crazy officer, Lieutenant Gall. Chimnabai goes into labour and Laxmibai assures her that Jhansi would be freed by sunset, so Chimnabai asks her what would happen if Tatya Tope wouldn't arrive on time!

Laxmibai gallops alone towards the fort's exit gates and orders that it be opened. Laxmibai's confidantes ask the subjects to go out of the fort from the rear exit, while the British continue to shoot indiscriminately. In the process, Moropant gets shot in his leg. Rao Dulajo warns Laxmibai that she has been surrounded and asks her to surrender. Karma sends away everyone to safety and then locks the exit to fight the British alone! Meanwhile, Rao Dulajo comes to attack Laxmibai from behind and Damodar manages to regain his voice just in time to warn her. Laxmibai turns and beheads Rao Dulajo. Just then Hugh Rose goes to fire at her but Karma takes the bullet instead. Karma is shot, while Laxmibai kills many British soldiers. Laxmibai and Karma gallop away on their horses and reach the palace.
