And the daughter-in-law of the pandavas and the wife and main LoveInterest of Arjun. She was introduced alongside her father at her marriage matchmaking contest called the swayamvar where she is to choose her husband from the competing contestants. Almost all the assorted monarchs were unable to complete the challenge. But Arjun, disguised as a brahmin monk appears in front of her and wins both the contest and her heart immediately. As Draupadi gleefully rises up and bashfully greets her new husband, he gently grabs her hand and walks her down from the castle to her new family, as the entire city celebrate their marriage. With the Pandavas' survival made public, reaching news to hastinapur, Dhritrashtra invites the Pandavas warmly and greets his new in-law. He becomes worried upon learning that she is the daughter of a king. Fearing his son's grudge and vindictive tendencies, he [[spoiler: announces the kingdom's division]].\\

Eventually the Pandavas were assigned to the wasteland Khandavprastha. Where Draupadi distressingly remarks that it is un-inhabitable and that it was unfair that they were to be thrown there. After the transformation of their kingdom and becoming their new rulers, it was eventually taken away in a challenge made by their cousins, the kuravas. They lose everything from kingdoms, to wealth, to possessions. In the end, Yudhisthir had to [[spoiler: gamble away his family, including Draupadi]].

* BadassBeard:

* CoolOldGuy: Bhishma is one of the best examples in Hindu mythology. He was absolutely invincible on the battlefield and the Pandavas had to ask '''him''' for advice on how to defeat him. (He promised them that they could always meet him for advice after sunset, and he ''kept'' his promises.) Even after being impaled on a ''bed of arrows'' he had the grace to choose the time of his death, and he lay there for days to wait for a time which was considered holy (the start of the period when the length of nights start reducing and length of days start increasing i.e around middle of January) before he finally decided to leave the world.

Giving his son the ruling of hastinapura while Yudhishthir, the secluded land of Khandaprastha. When they arrive at Khandaprastha, they discover it's a desolate swamp that seems un-inhabited by any soul. As they go further, they are greeted by an unwelcoming frightened citizens of Khandaprastha.

When the day of his coronation came, [[spoiler:the kurus devised a plan to dethrone him]]. It's customary that once a new king is being crowned, should he be given a challenge, he must not refuse.

Before the last day of the exile came to an end, [[spoiler: the kuravas found out their hiding and launched an attack on the city. Presumably to steal their cattle]]. But in reality, [[spoiler: they wanted to drag the Pandavas out of anonymity. Kanka, with 3 of his brothers, all went with the king of Virata to thrash the marauding bandits while Arjuna and prince Uttar went to face the Kuru army itself]].

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhima Bheema]] is the second born son of King Pandu and Kunti and the 2nd deuteragonist of the story.

He lavishly indulges in your typical everyday RichPeople opulent lifestyle. Always surrounding himself with the finest of everything: women, party, food, music... etc.

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakuni Shakuni]] is the secondary [[HiddenAgendaVillain villain]] and the brother of Queen Gandhari, hence Duryodhana's maternal uncle. Portrayed as an extremely intelligent but devious man, Shakuni is often credited as the mastermind behind the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurukshetra_War Kurukshetra War]]. He was also a great [[EvilSorcerer illusionist]] of that era. He exhorted his nephew to get rid of the pandavas as he convinced him that they were an obstacle to the throne. Hatching two failed attempts on Bheem and Arjun's lives. Where his nephew unsuccessfully [[spoiler: drown the former and hired someone to kill the latter]]. His plan finally came to fruitation when he saw his troubled nephew all heated and furious for being made a fool by Yudhishthir. He comforted his nephew, saying that he will make Yudhishthir give out his own kingdom with both his hands. Using a special dice, Shakuni played the dice game in Yudhishtir's coronation. As he [[spoiler: won every single round. Defeating, humiliating and destroying the Pandavas]]. \\

* DeadpanSnarker: He immediatly insults the Pandavas on arrival.

* PrinceCharmless: Unlike his older brother who has some charismatic aura, Dushasana is slightly non-memorable. He lacks any moral conduct, manners and is replusive by default. Even though he is a prince of royal descent.

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drona Acharya Drona]] is the [[TheProfessor royal preceptor]] to the Kuravas and the Pandavas. He is the master of advanced military arts and taught his students the art of war, battle and warrior-hood. Of all the Kurava and Pandava brothers training under him, Arjuna emerged as the most dedicated, hard-working and most naturally talented of them all. He was greatly impressed by Arjuna's concentration, determination, and drive. [[spoiler: As seen when he was a young lad able to shoot a bird dead in the eye with ease]]. Exceeding even his own [[TheGhost son]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashwatthama Ashwatthama]]. As the princes grow up under his tutelage, so does their hostility towards one another. On one morning when the princes were out chariot racing, [[spoiler: a collusion was carried out by Duryudhana against Bheema's life. Fortunately, Bheema was rescued and Duryudhana wasn't caught. But Drona knew about it right away and gives him a [[DisapprovingLook look]] [[YouKnowWhatYouDid that says it all]]]]. After some time, an event is held in his honor. The students performed at the event and displayed their talents and skills of what they learned at school. But it was cut short when [[spoiler: Karna infiltrates the arena and attempts to kill Arjun]]. Drona immediately intervenes and stops the match. But when Arjun verbaly retaliates back, Drona slaps him angrily. Scolding him for his lack of perception and brash behavior that almost costed his life.\\

After the 13 year exile nears its end, [[spoiler: the Kuru army infiltrates the city of Virata. Before the beginning of the war, both Drona and Bhishma contemplate. But Duryudhana rudely interrupts their conversation. When Arjun enters the battle and faces his master after a long time, Drona recognises him immediately and reminds him of their promise. To which Arjun confirms that he never forgot. Drona warns him that he will do what's necessary to protect his king. Even if he has to hurt him in the process. They fight a long, cruical battle but Duryudhan breaks through their fight almost killing both of them. Arjuna saves his master, and then defeats Duryudhan and the movie concludes]].

* BadassTeacher: He is TheAce of his trade. Drona is the most famous and most professional educator in his time. He is seen in the TrainingMontage displaying in-human skills weilding weapons like the [[WhipSword urumi]] with ease (which is considered the most dangerous weapons of all indian weaponry) and teachig it to his students both youths and kids.

* BaldOfAwesome: In this rendition, he is completly bald. Unlike other versions were he wears a long hair with a top bun. Though kind and humble, Drona is a tough and confident man with a high level sense of wisdom, intellect and character. It takes a man of confidence to display a shorn head. As hair is regarded as a sign of great beauty and pride in indian culture. So shaving it is a real sacrifice. To shave one's head means humility and clear-headedness.

** Also in hindu customs, being barefeet is being close to earth and humility.

* HonorIsFairPlay: He gives Arjun a fair chance to display his skills on the battle field to see what he had learned all these years. And whenever Arjun loses a weapon, instead of taking advantage of the opportunity to kill him, he lends him the exact same weapon as the one he weilds so the fight would be equal and fair.
* IndenturedServitude: He is in service of the Kuravas and an employer to the Kuru family and his loyality towards them throughout his life.
* JustFollowingOrders: He works for the Kuravas and is bound by duty to protect them. Even Duryudhana. Who is curropt and evil. And fight against his favorite pupil, Arjuna.

* StrongerThanTheyLook: Despite being old and somewhat thin and fraile, he is actually very strong and tenacious and can whoop an enemy's ass with ease.

* ToughLove: He cares for the wellfare of his favorite student. That's why he was disapointed with him when he showed signs of hesitation. He throws him a sword and physically challenges him to a fight even though Arjun can't bring himself to fight back. All in order to toughen him up.

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krishna Krishna Vasudeva]] is an [[MinorMajorCharacter important prominent figure and a supporting character]] who aids our heroes to their journey and trials. He has functioned as an independent spiritual guide to the pandavas and was present as a guest of honor at the swayamvar that's been held in panchala for the princess' hand, where he first met Arjun. After Arjun wins the contest, he hands Draupadi to him as he is seen happy for both of them. After some while, he visits the Pandavas later in Khandavprastha where they lay down their plans and discuss their goals. He explains to them that in order to become the greatest nation on earth, they first have to deal with {{Greed}}, wars, terrorism and to eliminate the existing problems from the roots if they were to prosper. And that they should arm themselves with courage, faith and determination in order to see their plans succeed. He then takes Arjun inside the dark thicket of the forest and awaits the ambush of the bandits. Arjun, becomes scared and asks him for the reason and the intention behind it all. [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments With a comforting warm smile, Krishna answers that fearing the unknown is trifling and unavailing. And one should do what they must and shouldn't concern themselves too much with the consequences lest they be paralized and can't preced. And that fear, will eventually take care of itself]].[[youtube:d-9cbuHCXjc]]\\

->''"Promise me...that you will avenge my humiliation. You will have one purpose...the '''annihilation''' of the Kuravas! You will have one goal...to '''completly destroy Duryudhan!'''"''

Eventually the Pandavas were assigned to the wasteland Khandavprastha. Where Draupadi distressingly remarks that it is un-inhabitable and that it was unfair that they were to be thrown there. After the transformation of their kingdom and becoming their new rulers, it was eventually taken away in a challenge made by their cousins, the kuravas. They lose everything from kingdoms, to wealth, to possessions. In the end, Yudhisthir had to [[spoiler: gamble away his family, including Draupadi]]. Who was horrified to be [[spoiler: staked in the game]] as Dushasana drags Draupadi to the court ByTheHair. She screams and cries for help but to no avail. Fearing ill-omens, Dhritarashtra intervenes. He decrees that the loser [[spoiler: be given an exile of 12 years followed by a year of Agnathavas, meaning "living in incognito"]]. And if the loser [[spoiler: were to be seen in any day at the last year, the 12 year exile would restart again. The Pandavas lose and they begin their exile]]. After being kicked out of their homes, Draupadi privatly laments Arjun. She makes him a pomise that he will avenge her humilation by destroying the Kuravas permanently. Turning her into a WomanScorned.\\

* AllClothUnravels: Happens off screen. We see her being draged by her inlaw with questionably lesser clothes than we saw her earlier...
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Her perfectly cresent-shaped eye brows, flawless leaf- shaped green eyes, her luscious rose bud lips. Matched by her elegance and kind nature of a ProperLady.
* DamselInDistress: She was put in that position when she was bet off by her family. She was reduced to a comodoty much like her family, begging and crying for someone to save her.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Being a princess with grace and beauty, it's only fitting that most of her garment colors are purple, the color of royality.
* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: Draupadi and Arjun are a match made in the most convenient of cicumstances.

* RapeAndRevenge: Replacing "rape" with sexually assaulted. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]]. As she is mostly a third party to the whole Pandava/kurava family issues and animosity. She had nothing to do with any of their problems other than being related to the family by mariage. And because of that, she was so outraged as her honor was violated.
* ShamefulStrip: The infamous incident that is assosiated by her name. She is famous for having her clothes stripped off of her by her in-laws.

* ThePromise: The promise she made Arjun vow to fullfil it. To destroy the Kuravas for humiliating her.

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uttara_(Mahabharata) Prince Uttar]] is the son of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virata King Virata]], king of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matsya_Kingdom Virat Kingdom]] and, at whose court the Pandavas spent one year in concealment during their exile. Like the rest of the residence of Virata, the young prince was unaware of the Pandava's true identity. The movie begins with the young prince practising sword fight when he is called to retire to his dormitory. There, he asks Brihannala to tell him a bedtime story. Brihannala tells him the story of Arjun. And on every night, when the young prince is about to retire, [[AnotherStoryForAnotherTime she continues to tell the story to where she left off and then puts the story off for another night]]. One day, when prince Uttar was practicing his sword fight, he sees her walking away intentionally avoiding him. He calls out to her to continue the story, to which she agrees. She narrates the dice game part, where the Pandavas lose everything. This made the young prince distraught and depressed. He questions Arjun's actions calling him a coward for not jumping to his wife's rescue. [[InsultFriendlyFire Hurt by this]], Brihannala tells him off by sending him to his father. Back at the young prince's dormitory, Brihannala comes in to continue the story but the young prince refuses to listen. She explains that he has to fully understand how the world works and what it takes to become a great warrior by listening till the end to learn what valuable lessons instored.\\

* CheerfulChild: Prince Uttar can come off like this since he is just a teenager who is sheltered most of his life inside the castle walls. Despite having huge royal responsibilities, he still likes to play around and listen to bedtime stories. He also gets easily excited and engaged to a good story telling. And becomes extremly upset and scared when things don't go the way he wants.

* SupportingProtagonist: He becomes that to Arjun at th end of the movie.

* CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: Duryodhana and Karna. Duryodhan is the king and was the captain of his army. He relied on plans and schemes to throw down his opponents and never got his hands directly dirty until the final battle. In contrast to his loyal second in command, Karna. Who was TheHeavy and manhandled all the dirty jobs Duryodhan never wanted to get physically involved.

* CoolBigBro: In the end of the battle Uttar looks up to Arjun like a proud younger brother to his big brother as they walk together side by side.

* MultiArmedAndDangerous: when he finaally reveals himself, he sprouts two more arms from his torso, revealing his true identity to Arjun

* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: Even though his older brothers are the ones who come up with the plan to win the archery contest and to fight the bandits, it is Arjun who gets both jobs done.

* DevotedToYou: In the Mahabharata, Gandhari is regarded as an epitome of virtue, and is among the most respected moral forces in the epic. On contrary to popular beliefs, Ghandhari wasn't forced to blindfold herself because of her husband's disability. In fact, she did it all on her own accord. Being a loving wife, she voluntarily blindfolded herself [[PowerLimiter depriving herself from the power of sight]] and lives the rest of her life as a blind woman to understand the pain and suffering that her husband has to go through.

* ArrowsOnFire: Krishna uses this tactic to light the entire forest on fire therefore, entrapping the bandits in it.

* ShamefulStrip: The imfamous incident that is assosiated by her name. She is famous for having her clothes stripped off of her by her in-laws.

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uttara_(Mahabharata) Prince Uttar]] is the son of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virata King Virata]], king of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matsya_Kingdom Virat Kingdom]] and, at whose court the Pandavas spent one year in concealment during their exile.

She explains that he has to fully understand how the world works and what it takes to become a great warrior by listening till the end to learn what valuable lessons instored.\\

Towards the end of the year, Duryodhan attacks Virat. The city goes under alarm as the young prince awakens from his bed to the sound of the disturbance. He runs around and sees Kanka and his father gathering the army and getting ready for battle. Uttar learns from Kanka that the trigarth bandits are stealing their cattle and that they are heading north to fight them. This leaves their city vulnerable and without an army. When the actual Kuru army heads towards their frontal gate. As the court almost loses courage and surrenders their defeat, suddenly the young prince announces that he will fight the Kuru army. Making him TheUnchosenOne. Brihannala sees this and goes with him as his charioteer. As they approach the Kuru army, Uttar panics at the sight of the colossus army and tells Brihannala to turn back. But she encourages him with the same words of wisdom Krishna told him years ago. She then takes him to a secret hideout where Uttar finds the divine weapons that was gifted to Arjun. He immediately puts two and two together and comes to the uncertain conclusion that Brihannala is not who she seems to be. Brihannala reveals her true identity to him. And they both go fight the Kuru army together emerging victorious.

* DespairEventHorizon: The moments between Yudhishthira announcing that he is [[spoiler: betting on him]], and the shear horror that arrives seconds after that. Arjuna remains [[DumbStruck silent]] for the rest of the game.

* EngagementChallenge: Arjun wins a ''swayamvar'',(a hindu matchmaking festival), for the hand of Princess Draupadi, the daughter of King Drupadi of (Southern) Panchala. The challenge is to [[spoiler: use the bow and arrow and shoot the golden fish]]. Impossible? Maybe. [[TheAce But not for Arjun]].

** [[spoiler: 3) When the young prince asks her about the story's origin, she replies that no one told her the story. This could only indicate 2 things: A) She made it all up. Which is impossible considering the meticulous details and the real live events and characters.

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yudhishthira Yudhishthira]] is the First and the eldest son of King Pandu and Kunti and the {{Deuteragonist}} to the main character, Arjuna. After the death of Pandu, the Pandavas went to live in Hastinapura where they were brought up together with their cousins, the Kauravas. Along with his brothers and the Kuravas, Yudhishthira studied religion, science, administration and military arts by Acharya Drona, the Kuru princes' teacher and Master of Martial Arts. Because of his analytical and calculating traits and his righteous and religious views, he excelled in religion and administration. [[MinoredInAssKicking He is also a skilled combatant]]. His WeaponOfChoice are the spear and the chariot. After the Pandavas [[spoiler: lose their new home to the fire caused by the Kuravas]], they [[spoiler: temporarily hide themselves disguised as monks]]. When they hear about the swayamvar that's been going on in Panchala, Yudhishthira devises up a plan to win the princess' hand and by that they'd recover the throne back and become powerful enough to take on Duryodhana. They win the swayamvar and the princess' hand, and return back to Hastinapura. When the king sees them, he announces that he will divide the kingdom into two. Giving his son the ruling of hastinapura while Yudhishthir, the secluded land of Khandaprastha. When they arrive at Khandaprastha, they discover it's a desolate swamp that seems un-inhabited by any soul. As they go further, they are greeted by an unwelcomed frightened citezins of Khandaprastha. They apologise and ask their forgivness explaining that they were just defending their home from the bandits. Yudhishthir vows to help them and fix the problem. With Krishna's help, the pandavas transform the forest into the kingdom of Indraprastha, as new king, Princes and Queen of the CityOfGold. Where they all live happily.\\

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: What Yudhishthira did was [[ThisIsUnforgivable inexcusable]]. [[spoiler: He preferred/was pressured to continue the game than to forfeit and lose his pride, screwing everyone involved. Realizing it was his [[MomentOfWeakness lowest moment]] were he had to gamble away his brothers as if they were livestock. It's obvious that he was [[MoralDilemma so tortured and ashamed]] while doing this]].

When the actual Kuru army heads towards their frontal gate. As the court almost loses courage and surrenders their defeat, suddenly the young prince announces that he will fight the Kuru army. Making him TheUnchosenOne. Brihannala sees this and goes with him as his charioteer. As they approach the Kuru army, Uttar panics at the sight of the colossus army and tells Brihannala to turn back. But she encourages with the same words of wisdom Krishna told him years ago. She then takes him to a secret hideout where Uttar finds the divine weapons that was gifted to Arjun.

And they both go fight the Kuru army together emerging victorious.

He is also an expert in equestrian skills (horse riding).\\

* {{Bishounen}}: Both twins are extremely beautiful and attractive and are regarded as the most popular out of all the five brothers.

* AntagonisticOffspring: Unlike his father who was tolerable and understanding, Duryodhan had none of these qualities. Instead, he was nursed with Incomprehensible malice and envy towards the pandavas and was the direct source to all their problems.
* ArchEnemy: In this version of the movie, Duryudhan is the arch nemesis to Arjun. In the original Mahabharata novels, Duryudhan was the arch nemesis to Bheem and Karna was the arch nemesis to Arjun.

* CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: Duryodhana to Karna. Duryodhan is the king and was the captain of his army. He relied on plans and schemes to throw down his opponents and never got his hands directly dirty until the final battle. In contrast to his loyal second in command, Karna. Who was TheHeavy and manhandled all the dirty jobs Duryodhan never wanted to get physically involved.

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhritarashtra Dhritarashtra]] is the blind king of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_Kingdom Kuru Kingdom]] with its capital city, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hastinapur Hastinapura]]. He took over the kingdom after his brother's (King Pandu) death. Dhritarashtra is blind from birth. And became a father to one hundred sons by his wife, Queen Gandhari. These children include his eldest son Duryodhana, and his second son, Dushasana. He was present during the organised event of Acharya Drona's students were they displayed their skills and talents of what they learned at Acharya Drona's school. But it ended abruptly when a [[spoiler: mystery competitor arrived and tried to kill Arjun who was competing at the time]]. After the incident, he went to consult Bhishma for the matter and to find a solution for the animosity between the pandavas and the kuravas. The discussion ended with the king sending off the pandavas away from hastinapura so they won't be victims of his son's schemes anymore. [[spoiler: Not knowing that his son was [[EasilyOverheardConversation eves-dropping on the whole conversation]]]], who later sends some [[spoiler: bandits to kill the pandavas in their new home]]. When they flee to safety and later marry the princess of Panchala, they return back to hastinapura, all alive and well. Which makes sudden news that surprises everyone, including the king himself (who in contrast to his son) welcomes them back warmly. But is shocked to find out that they married a daughter of a king. Fearing that this could lead to a war from both his sons and his nephews, he decides to [[spoiler: divide the kingdom into two, Hastinapura and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khandava_Forest Khandavprastha]] (which later becomes Indraprastha)]].

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakuni Shakuni]] is the secondary [[HiddenAgendaVillain villain]] and the brother of Queen Gandhari, hence Duryodhana's maternal uncle. Portrayed as an extremely intelligent but devious man, Shakuni is often credited as the mastermind behind the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurukshetra_War Kurukshetra War]]. He was also a great [[EvilSorcerer illusionist]] of that era. He exhorted his nephew to get rid of the pandavas as he convinced him that they were an obstacle to the throne. Hatching two failed attempts on Bheem and Arjun's lives. Where his nephew unsuccessfully [[spoiler: drown the former and hired someone to kill the latter]]. His plan finally came to fruitation when he saw his troubled nephew all heated and furious for being made a fool by Yudhishthir. He comforted his nephew, saying that he will make Yudhishthir give out his own kingdom with both his hands. Using a special dice, Shakuni played the dice game in Yudhishtir's coronation. As he [[spoiler: won every single round. Defeating, humiliating and destroying the pandavas]]. \\

** Also, every plan he culminated benefited him in a form or another. [[spoiler: Rendering him the sole winner in the end]].

* TheCorrupter: He mainly worked by inciting hatred between the Kauravas and Pandavas; his plans culminated in the largest war in Indian history. Thus, he is seen by many as one of the key persons that caused the Kurukshetra War.

* EvilUncle: He wasn't the most dearest exemplary uncle towards the pandavas. As he persuades Yudhishtira to continue playing the game so he could lose. He also provoked Duryodhana, Dushasana and Karna to [[KickTheDog taunt and humiliate the Pandavas as they were losing]].

* MasterOfIllusion: Heavily implied in the movie and played straight in the books.[[spoiler: A master of sorcery, Shakuni had his blessed dice which would always follow his will. As a sorcerer himself, he could manipulate the dice with magic to land on any side he wanted]].

* XanatosGambit: In the Mahabharata and slightly implied in the movie. [[spoiler: Shakuni is the sole winner in the end of the entire premise. No matter who won or lost, it all benefited him one way or another]].

* DevotedToYou: Gandhari is regarded as an epitome of virtue, and is among the most respected moral forces in the epic. On contrary to popular beliefs, Ghandhari wasn't forced to blindfold herself because of her husband's disability. In fact, she did it all on her own accord. Being a loving wife, she voluntarily blindfolded herself and [[PowerLimiter deprived herself from the power of sight]] and lives the rest of her life as a blind woman to understand the pain and suffering that her husband has to go through.

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dushasana Dushasana]] is a Kaurav prince and the second son of the blind king Dhritarashtra and Queen Gandhari and the younger brother of Duryodhana. He is loyal to his older brother and is also closely involved in the various schemes and plots to kill the Pandavas along with his uncle Shakuni.

* AttemptedRape: Heavily [[ImpliedTrope Implied]] in the movie and heavily PlayedStraight in the Mahabharata. This perhaps is his most infamous incident in the entire dice game premise. Dushasana brings Draupadi into court, dragging her by her hair, and attempts to tear off her garment from her body (happened off-screen in the movie). His attempts to strip Draupadi naked and either rape or sexually assault her, (depending on the versions), in front of her family is seen both as public humiliation and sexual violence.

'''Dushasana:''' Herd cattle? More like ''live'' with the cattle! ''(points at Bheem)'' Just look at the size of that bull!

After the 13 year exile nears its end, [[spoiler: the Kuru army infiltrates the city of Virata. Before the beginning of the war, both Drona and Pitamah contemplate. But Duryudhana rudely interrupts their conversation. When Arjun enters the battle and faces his master after a long time, Drona recognises him immediately. He reminds him of their promise. To which Arjun confirms that he never forgot. Drona warns him that he will do what's necessary to protect his king. Even if he has to hurt him in the process. They fight a long, cruical fight but Duryudhan breaks through their fight almost killing both of them. Arjuna saves his master, and then defeats Duryudhan and the movie concludes]].

* BadassTeacher: He is TheAce of his trade. Drona is the most famous and most professional educator in his time. He is seen in the TrainingMontage displaying in-human skills weilding weapons like the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urumi urumi]] with ease (which is considered the most dangerous weapons of all indian weaponry) and teachig it to his students both youths and kids.

* JustFollowingOrders: He works for the kuravas and is bound by duty to protect them. Even his recent king, Duryudhana. Who is curropt and evil and fight against his favorite pupil, Arjuna.

* MentorArchetype: Dronacharya is the teacher of the Pandavas and Kauravas. He trained them in the art of warfare. He is one of the most famous mentors and a skilled warrior and marksmen around.

* ThePromise: The Catalysts that drove the plot forward. He made Arjun promise him that he will meet him again as an accomplished warrior.

* WhipSword: The Urumi he swings it around and teaching it to young Arjun in the montage.

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krishna Krishna Vasudeva]] is an [[MinorMajorCharacter important prominent figure]] and a supporting character who aids our heroes to their journey and trials. He has functioned as an independent spiritual guide to the pandavas and was present as a guest of honor at the swayamvar that's been held in panchala for the princess' hand, where he first met Arjun. After Arjun wins the contest, he hands Draupadi to him as he is seen happy for both of them. After some while, he visits the pandavas later in Khandavprastha where they lay down their plans and discuss their goals. He explains to them that in order to become the greatest nation on earth, they first have to deal with {{Greed}}, wars, terrorism and to eliminate the existing problems from the roots if they were to prosper. And that they should arm themselves with courage, faith and determination in order to see their plans succeed. He then takes Arjun inside the thicket of the forest and awaits the ambush of the bandits. Arjun, becomes scared and asks him for the reason and the intention behind it all. With a comforting warm smile, Krishna answers that fearing the unknown is trifling and unavailing. And one should do what they must and shouldn't concern themselves too much with the consequences lest they be paralized and can't preced.

When they defeat them, they both discover that the bandits were sent by Duryudhan, as one of them was wearing Hastinapur's emblem. Upon discovering this, the leader of the Trigharth attacks them InTheBack. But they subdue him. Arjun tells Krishna that [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou he has a plan to use him properly that will benefit them later]]]]. When the dawn emerges, the pandavas and krishna look upon the aftermath of the forest as Yudhisthir agrees with krishna's advice. That they will build the greatest nation ever known from the ashes of the wasteland itself.\\

* BigBrotherMentor: He counsels the Pandavas to broaden their goals so they could become better rulers than the Kurus.

* OfficerAndAGentleman: He is a prince, a warrior, a hero, a teacher, a philosopher and a great leader. A compassionate, tender character who is a FriendToAllLivingThings. He is polite, gentle and very soft spoken.

* PrinceCharming: He emanates a kind aura around him that puts anyone at ease. And to add the cherry on top, he is a prince.

* DualWielding: Arjun charges on the foot soldiers riding a chariot with the young prince as his charioteer, wielding [[ExoticWeaponSupremacy 2 God-made]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urumi urumis]] on each hand as he [[SliceAndDiceSwordsmanship slices and dices]] them.

Which is impossible considering the meticulous details and the real live events and characters. B) (The true clue) Because of the meticulous details of the story, and that the story was narrated by no one before her, it's only logical that she had witnessed it all first-hand.

* DudeLooksLikeALady: At a first glance, it is impossible to figure out that he is a [[spoiler: man in disguise as a woman]].

* FullBodyDisguise: Unlike his previous renditions in live action movies and in the illustrated graphic novels where he dresses up completely in [[https://i.pinimg.com/736x/87/5b/3a/875b3a8e3ddff86063e4aba995416196.jpg "drag".]], wearing 1 ton makeup and the girliest hairstyle and sari a woman could wear. It's obviously done for theatrical and comedic intentions, but it defeats the purpose of his suffering through his exile and him hiding in plain sight. In the animated movie however, Arjuna covers himself up completely from head to toe in a woman's garb with a scarf covering his head and obscuring most of his visage, a long sari and a longer shawl to hide his masculine body which emphasizes his "hiding".

** [[spoiler: One from his master. To meet him again as an accomplished warrior]].
** [[spoiler: And one from his wife. To destroy the Kuravas for humiliating her]].

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Zigzagged Between him and Yudhishthir. When bheem isn't being childishly immature and causing trouble, he'd be the one to remind his brother Yudhishthir that as the eldest he should've taken more responsibility in protecting the family. And though Yudhishthir is the wisest of his brothers, he made some irresponsible choices that ruined him and his family.
