Duryodhan, driven by his deep-rooted envy and animosity towards his cousins, seeks advice from his cunning uncle Shakuni to execute a clandestine plot. Together, they hatch a scheme to burn down the Pandavas' palace during a celebration, intending to eliminate the Pandavas stealthily.
Meanwhile, the Pandavas, unaware of the impending danger, are engrossed in the festivities and enjoy a blissful time with their loved ones. However, Draupadi, endowed with exceptional foresight and intuition, senses an ominous presence and warns Yudhisthira about a potential catastrophe.

As the celebrations continue, Arjuna is approached by his beloved wife, Subhadra. She seeks guidance regarding their unborn child, who will eventually become the valiant warrior Abhimanyu. Arjuna, with his profound knowledge, imparts invaluable lessons of warfare to Subhadra, preparing their child for the challenges he will face in the future.
Meanwhile, Krishna, the divine charioteer and advisor to the Pandavas, embarks on a journey to Hastinapur, the capital city of the Kauravas. Knowing the nefarious plans brewing in the Kaurava camp, Krishna is determined to try and avert the impending disaster. His visit to Hastinapur holds significant consequences that will shape the fate of the Mahabharata.
In Hastinapur, Krishna confronts Dhritarashtra, the blind King and patriarch of the Kaurava clan. With his innate wisdom and profound insights, Krishna attempts to reason with Dhritarashtra, urging him to mend his ways and prevent the impending destruction.

Back in the Pandavas' palace, as the darkness descends, Duryodhan stealthily sets the palace ablaze. The fire engulfs the grand structure, trapping the Pandavas and their loved ones inside. Chaos ensues, and panic grips the hearts of those trapped within.
Amidst this turmoil, Arjuna, driven by his indomitable spirit, takes charge of the situation. With his exceptional archery skills and unwavering determination, he skillfully rescues his beloved Draupadi, his brothers, and their families from the clutches of the raging fire.
