Episode 9: Dance of Death
The shocking aftermath of the hot-air balloon crash stuns the family. Shaks confronts his identity and Yash abandons his political ambitions to begin his true spiritual journey.
The Gods, the law, capitalism and politics jostle for power in this bold adaptation of the ancient Indian poem Mahabharata. Dramatised as a gripping family epic set in 21st century Mumbai, this series is powered by the tensions and rivalries of a turbulent business empire.
In the final episode, political ambition, personal tragedy and spiritual reckoning collide in a sweeping narrative of loss, transformation, and legacy.
Yash continues to pursue a political career, but his humble appearance and idealism clash with the establishment. News of Padma’s crash forces him to choose family over politics.
Meanwhile, a disillusioned Shaks confronts his identity and the illusion of control he once clung to. Guided by the mischievous Gopi - in the form of the robot bartender GP200 - he tosses a coin to decide his fate.
While Padma and Nyra set about establishing their Foundation, Yash, having now also learned the identity of Shaks’ father, embarks on a spiritual journey across India to discover his true purpose and make peace with his past.
Taking yet another form - that of a dog, Moksha - Gopi accompanies Yash on a dreamlike journey towards redemption and enlightenment. Moksha forces him to confront unresolved emotions which culminates in a final divine test to achieve sublimation of desire - save himself or sacrifice his own happiness to save millions from impending mortal danger. The epic story’s extraordinary conclusion hangs on his decision.
