1. "Before the conch is blown"
The Battle of Kurukshetra is about to begin. But as Arjun looks across the battlefield and sees his family and respected elders on the opposing side, he is overwhelmed with doubt.
(Note: In the dialogue, Arjun refers to Shri Krishna, his close friend, as "Madhav", while Krishna refers to Arjun as "Parth".)

4. "Love to kill for"
When contemplating his enemies' misdeeds, Arjun recognises the war is unavoidable. Will he feel the same when reflecting on the compassion they have shown him, too?

5. "Justice on both sides"
Arjun's brothers, allies and others he loves will pay a price in the war he is about to wage. But haven't they, too, played a part in bringing it about?
