Episode 5: Dance of Deceit

Yash and Padma return to Mumbai having fulfilled the terms of their exile. But Dhruv is ever the sore loser and partitioning the company is the only answer.

The Gods, the law, capitalism and politics continue to 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.

A dynasty divided against itself... the battle to control Hasta Enterprises escalates.

Newly empowered by the knowledge that he is the eldest son, Shaks believes that he is now the rightful heir and should control Hasta Enterprises. It puts him on a collision course with Yash and Dhruv. Gita fears the civil war will destroy the business empire her husband created and urges Shaks to abandon his claim. He refuses. The conflict is now speeding towards becoming the bitterest corporate case in Indian legal history.

In desperation, Gita appeals to Gopi to use her vast artificial intelligence to intervene. Gopi counters with a strange offer... the warring factions must choose between having her knowledge or her wisdom. Dhruv and Shaks think that Gopi is no more than the sum of her parts and choose knowledge. Yash believes Gopi really does possess wisdom.

The coming battle will reveal who is right...
