He finds a strong parental figure and a mentor in his domineering maternal grandmother Aisan Daulat Begum (Shabana Azmi) who guides him through political as well as emotional reveries.
As he battles his way through hardships and betrayals, another challenge awaits him in the form of an eccentric and ruthless ruler namely Muhammad Shaybani Khan (Dino Morea). The latter proposes to marry Babur’s beloved sister Khanzada (Drashti Dhami) for peace to prevail.
As the plot thickens, Babur leaves for Hindustan to battle Ibrahim Lodi, the Sultan of Delhi. The rest of the story flows through the Battle of Panipat and the establishment of the Mughal Empire.
