Amba seeks out Bhima to kill Bhishma. Bhima declines and Amba proceeds on her way.
Arjuna leaves his brothers and heads into the forest to go find weapons. He is now on his own journey. At the same time Duryodana is back in the kingdom plotting ways he can get away with killing the Pandava brothers.
While Bhishma is on duty for the night watch he encounters a rakshisa named Hidimbi. She instantly falls in love with him and takes on a human form. She wants to marry him and is confused why his current wife has 5 husbands. While the two are talking Hidimbi's brother attacks and a fairly epic battle ensues. It was surprisingly good and I am ready for the war to come towards the end of the film.
Hidimbi ends up getting her way and Bhima is allowed to be her husband. The two have a son seemingly out of nowhere. Hidimbi is flying Bhima around and suddenly the son just randomly appears.
When Hidimbi and the son flees, Duryodana and his goons sneak up on them with sword. Vyasa seems to be some some great god or something. He randomly appears when the pandu brothers are in trouble and need help.
While Arjuna is out in the mountains he runs into Shiva. Before he finds out who he is though he fires about 4 arrows at him. Shiva grants one request to Arjuna and he asks for the weapon Shiva wields.

The last few scenes have been really confusing and I have no clue what is going on.
