Rani Rupmati

During Akbars rule over Hindustan, the Mughals considered Pathans their enemies and vice versa. As a result there was a war-like relation between Mandvas Sultan Sujat Khan and Akbar. But Sujats son, Wajid, was a peace-maker and a lover of the arts. He befriended a Hindu Kshtriya, Rajkumari Rupmati, of Mandhavghar, and despite protests from her parents, brothers, and to-be husband, Baldev Singh, she re-located to Mandva, where Wajid build her a tower so that she could view and seek blessings from holy river Narmada, who had gifted her to Mandhavghar. She became instrumental in diverting Narmada to bring water to her drought-stricken hometown.

After Sujat passes away, Wajid becomes the Sultan and is called Bagh Bahadur. Akbar hears about this and sends Sangeet Samrat Tansen to check out Rupmati as well as find out if they wanted peace or war. Tansen was welcomed, and assured that Wajid wanted nothing but peace. But their peaceful lives will soon be turned upside when Tansen gets abducted by Subedar Hafiz Khan, is held against his will. An enraged Akbar asks his Chieftain Adam Khan to storm Malwa and free Tansen.

In the meantime, Hafiz daughter, who is in love with Wajid, gets into Rupmatis palace - with one intent - to kill her. Watch the outcome as the Pathans together with their Hindu allies, amidst mixed chants of Allah O Akbar and Har Har Mahadev prepare themselves for Akbars armies, and how Rupmati defends herself against Hamida.
