Bheem and the Nagas

Hanuman's Leap to Lanka

The Kauravs and the Pandavs grew up in constant rivalry, always looking for chances to defeat each other. But Bheem, the strongest of them, was always victorious in all the games.

Duryodhan, the eldest Kaurav, had had enough of this. He hatched a plan to get rid of Bheem forever in the kingdom of the Nagas, the deadly serpents.

Will the mighty Bheem get conquered in this tale of bravery, deceit and deception?

When Sita is abducted by Ravan, it is believed that he is keeping her captive in Lanka, across the vast ocean. No man is powerful enough to cross the ocean into that dangerous land to find out if this is true.

This impossible task is taken up by the mighty Hanuman, who battles the elements to reach Lanka.

Watch how Hanuman single-handedly cre-ates havoc in Lanka and vanquishes the mighty asurs of Ravan's court in this tale of unsurpassed strength and valour.

Ravan Humbled

Krishna and the Syamantak Gem

The fabled Syamantak gem brings wealth and prosperity to whoever owns it, but this always comes at a terrible price. When Krishna suggests that Suryadev's gift to Prince Satrajit would be safer with king Ugrasena, he becomes embroiled in a chain of events that threatens to wreak havoc in his kingdom.

Wrongly accused of a crime he did not commit, Krishna sets out to clear his name and restore peace, in this tale of daring and deceit.

Ravan, the mighty king of Lanka, believes he is the most powerful being in the universe and that no one can defeat him.

In his pride, Ravan takes on two great challenges: he tries to lift a mountain which is blocking his path, only to find out that it is Mount Kailash, the abode of Shiva and he challenges Vali, the king of Kishkindha to battle.

Watch what happens to Ravan in this tale of pride and vanity.
