The war between Duryodhana and Bhima, which is called the Gaddha Yuddha, is one of the most intense scenes in the film.

Bhima tries to defeat Duryodhana but cannot defeat him because of the strength that has been given to Duryodhana by Gandhari. The war between the two makes for an interesting watch.
