Sita Ramam, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, is a visually stunning period romance that intertwines love with the historical backdrop of Indo-Pak tensions. The film follows Ram (Dulquer Salmaan), an Indian Army officer, and Sita (Mrunal Thakur), whose love story unfolds through letters over two decades, culminating in a quest led by Afreen (Rashmika Mandanna) to deliver an unposted letter. My Experience: Watching Sita Ramam was an emotional journey. The cinematography and music were breathtaking, creating a captivating atmosphere that drew me in. Dulquer Salmaan's performance was particularly charming, and his chemistry with Mrunal Thakur felt genuine. However, the film's pacing was uneven, and at 163 minutes, it felt stretched, with some subplots distracting from the central romance. While the film attempted to address themes of love transcending borders and religion, I found some elements a bit heavy-handed. Despite its flaws, Sita Ramam left a lasting impression on me due to its heartfelt moments and the poignant portrayal of love amidst conflict. Overall, it's a film that resonates with both beauty and complexity.

THE GREATEST LOVE STORY EVER. THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER. THIS IS CINEMA for me. I've never loved anything this much in my life other than my dream career. I've never loved anyone as much as I love Ram and Sita other than my Family and Prabhas. This is exactly how I imagined a male character in a love story should be. This is exactly how I imagined a female character in a love story should be. This is exactly how I imagined a love story should be. This is more than cinema for me. As a hard-core fan of love stories since childhood, I've never completely satisfied with any love story movie because of some unnecessary interruption in between or less runtime for the love story or some other reason, but for Sita Ramam I am completely and totally satisfied. Even though the heroine entrance is at 49th minute, even though the runtime for Ram and Sita is less than 90 minutes, even though there are so many characters in the movie, only the chemistry between Ram and Sita comes to my mind every time I hear Sita Ramam. There is not even a single scene which distracts us away from the story, everything is interconnected. Even the political scenes revolves around Ram and Sita. Everything connects at the end to make us feel the depth of the story. I used to think that "We can't witness the movies like the old classics" for so many years, but Sita Ramam team proved me wrong. They proved that it doesn't matter if the time has changed or we are in a modern culture, we can still witness classics like these. They gave me hope for the future films. I used to mix all the classic love stories (in my imaginary space) and create one perfect movie by excluding all the negative points. I used to daydream about this and I created so many versions of that perfect movie. Every now and then I did this for so many years. Never ever in my dreams I thought I would watch this movie one day. But fortunately it happened. That is SitaRamam for me. I thought I'm watching my own dream while watching this epic. Sita Ramam is a movie with zero negatives/flaws. If they ended up the romance between them after Ram left to kashmir, I would've remained unsatisfied, but when that woman says "Vaallu vidipoyaru ani evaru chepparu" I was like yesssss... That's the most satisfying moment. All 24 CRAFTS worked out perfectly for the movie. From the Direction, Cinematography, Script, Music... to .... Editing, Costumes, Makeup. Everything at it's peak. Every BGM is a bliss, and those songs ufff perfect songs for the perfect movie. I can write atleast 2-3 pages about the songs and the dialogues. In the letter, Sita says "Ninna rathri oo kala occhindhi, Kalalo niku aravai yellu. Inka na chuttu ne thiruguthunav. Em kavalanna Sita.. Sita.. ani pilusthunav". Idhi nijam ayyi unte entha bagundo... This gets me everytime, makes me both sad and happy at the same time. (Tears rolling in my eyes while writing this dialogue). After watching it every time I think that "From next time onwards I won't be able to cry because I already watched it so many times", but it's happening again and again. After watching it every time, it takes atleast 2-3 days to get out of it. I think of them as real world characters and feel sad that "Sita has to live only with the memories of Ram but not with Ram", "If Ram came back, they would've lived happily ever after". No, I'm not mental (somewhat). This Sita and Ram's story is not just a movie it's a world. I want to live in that world more than I want to live in this creepy reality. Why everything about this movie is so perfect? Why the Ram character is so perfect? Why the Sita character is so perfect? Why the Love between them is so perfect? The two perfect out of the world characters loving each other this much?? Damnn I love you SitaRamam I love you soo much. This is more than what I've expected for my Prabhas film Radhe Shyam, I literally prayed for it to be a cult love story but disappointed with the output. But in less than 5 months span, I got what I prayed for. Even the visuals of Sita Ramam are far more excellent even though the budget of both films are too far apart (except 1-2 scenes in Radhe Shyam). After watching SitaRamam for the first time in the theatre, immediately I booked for the next available show the same day. I watched this movie 3 times in the theatre and planned to go for the 4th time but couldn't. I was disappointed since then for not watching it again in the theatre. Now I should take rest from watching this movie once in a while so that I could re-live this epic in the theatres again. Hating aside, if you just "like" this movie instead of loving it, we can't be friends. Even though I wrote this much, still feels like I've never talked. I still feel like I haven't completely let my feelings out. Still there is a lot in my heart. Atleast 10x more than what I wrote. I don't know how to express all those feelings. All I can say is I LOVE SITARAMAM SOO MUCH... If I have my own theatre, I would watch Sita Ramam on 1st of every month. I can relate to Ram in many ways (not in the love part though, I've never been in love. But yeah that's how I wanna love someone). I've been dreaming of Sita Mahalakshmi even before hanu started writing SitaRamam script. Thank You Hanu Sir for bringing my dream in front of my eyes. I didn't write my review on this film anywhere till now, but writing this now for the 1st anniversary of the film. Forever SitaRamam cult. Edit on 14th Feb 2024: Finally my thirst to watch SitaRamam again in theatre is quenched after waiting for one&half years on today's rerelease. Just the title card itself is worth everything (Travel, Ticket rate, Time... everything). Much needed one during these (my) tough times. Please rerelease this every year. I wanna watch this in much bigger/better screen with much better experience. If this happens, I will be seated for atleast 3 shows on that day.

Just completed Sita Ramam 😭 My heart is so full rn🥺. I was extremely excited for this movie being a huge Dq Salmaan fan but before starting it, I was a bit nervous whether it would disappoint me but thank God it didn't. It exceeded my expectations, in fact🥺. The writing is impeccable and accurate to the minute details. I tried to predict some scenes but the movie surprised me with something different everytime🤩. The visuals, cinematography, dialogues are excellent 👌🏻. I must really appreciate the bg music, the tunes & lyrics perfectly syncs with the situation of the scene. Dq Salmaan and Mrunal chemistry sooo soo heartwarming 🥰🥹. The movie is just flawless man (except just a minor tech detail in the end which is ignorable), they've justified and linked everything so extraordinarily 😍. I can talk about the climax but it'll be a spoiler so, just watch it fellas, I promise you'll be touched. 😌 4.5/5 for me 🤗🥹
