Sita Ramam

 Sita Ramam

Most people watching Sita Ramam would be expecting to witness a classic, old-school love story, told with an influence of Ramayana. Well, the film has got it all, and for starters, its leads are named Sita and Ram. But, director Hanu Raghavapudi, doesn't cease there, he goes on to deliver a carefully packaged film with layers and beautiful characterisations. Especially, Sita Ramam's narrative style elevates it to become an endearing and cherishing romantic period drama.

The screenplay shuttles between two timelines, 1964 and 1984, beautifully presented by cinematographers PS Vinod, and Shreyaas Krishna. 

From the latter period, is Afreen (Rashmika Mandanna), a Pakistan-origin, India-phobic girl, who is extremely devoted to Islam that she even hates getting help from people who don't follow her faith. When circumstances lead Afreen to her to seek the help of her ex-serviceman grandfather, she is asked to deliver a package in return for him. It is a letter dated 1965, from Lieutenant Ram (Dulquer Salmaan) to Sita Mahalakshmi (Mrunal Thakur). And there begin Afreen’s attempts to unravel the whereabouts of Ram and Sita, who appear to be found nowhere.
