EPISODE #361 / 363 

SHOWN ON JOY PRIME @6: 00PM

Laxmibai fears East India Company will annex Jhansi and shares her anxiety with Tatya Tope. Tatya Tope assures her that her fears were getting the better of her and asks her not to worry.

Rao Dulaju informs Nelson that Moropant along with his wife and prince Anand were still in the fort.

While rushing to the aid of Laxmibai, Major Ellis comes across a disconsolate woman. When he stops to offer help, the woman turns out to be a dacoit in disguise. Ellis is wounded and later kidnapped by the gang of dacoits.

Company soldiers slaughter soldiers guarding the fort. Moropant is shocked when Nelson declares that Company had annexed Jhansi. Moropant warns Nelson to fear Laxmibai's wrath when she learns about the development. Nelson counters by asserting that Company has annexed Jhansi since the kingdom had neither king nor a queen.

At the same time, Laxmibai fears that something terrible had occurred in Jhansi and tells

Tatya Tope that she must leave for Jhansi. She promises to return in time for the battle.

The dacoits who kidnapped Major Ellis lock him up in a room

Rao Dulaju learns that Laxmibai was planning to leave for Jhansi. Rao Dulaju lies to Laxmibai he had just returned form Jhansi and her family was safe in the fort.

Rao Dulaju asks Laxmibai to concentrate on the battle with Ladai Sarkar. Laxmibai states she had dedicated tomorrow's victory to Damodar.

Aware of the battle plan which Jhansi's army would follow, Ladai Sarkar devises a plan with Robert Hamilton and Nathey Khan to defeat Laxmibai.

At the break of dawn, Orcha and Jhansi armies assemble on the battle-field. While Laxmibai tells her soldiers that she never wanted to wage war against fellow Indians, Ladai Sarkar exhorts her soldiers to slay their opponents.

A soothsayer appears between the armies and asks Ladai Sarkar to join hands with Laxmibai instead of depending on the East India Company. Ladai Sarkar chases the oracle away from the battle field.

As the war commences, Tatya Tope finds it fishy since Orcha's army is retreating instead of attacking. Ladai Sarkar orders her army to follow her instructions.

Laxmibai addresses her soldiers on the battlefield. Laxmibai asserts she never wanted war but now it was essential to safeguard Jhansi. Ladai Sarkar also exhorts her army to defeat their opponents.

As the war commences, Orcha soldiers surround Laxmibai as per Ladai Sarkar's plan. Ladai Sarkar is happy to see her plan being put into action. Tatya Tope is shocked on witnessing Ladai Sarkar and her army countering every battle move of Jhansi.

Tatya Tope tries to warn Laxmibai but it is too late: Laxmibai is surrounded by Orcha army. Laxmibai and Ladai Sarkar duel. Laxmibai refuses to lose hope and tries to convince Ladai Sarkar to halt the war.

Laxmibai manages to disarm Ladai Sarkar but spares her life. Ladai Sarkar dismisses Laxmibai's magnanimity and commands Nathey Khan to attack the queen of Jhansi. Nathey Khan along with Orcha soldiers attack Laxmibai.

Laxmibai fights bravely. Though forced on her backfoot initially, Laxmibai manages to checkmate Nathey Khan.
