Plot

Analysis
Sita Ramam is a timeless love story that has been narrated in a soft and sweet manner by Hanu Raghavapudi. Though he takes a lot of time to get into the actual love story, he delivers a punch with his sublime and classy touch. The way he showcases the love story and brings the love out will surely attract the audience.
What adds more glitz to the film is the superb music which is timed amazingly in the film. The manner in which the BGM takes over a few silent and emotional scenes is so good. The period setup and the Kashmir backdrop during the flashback is so designed well by the director Hanu.
Sita Ramam also has its own fair share of flaws. The film is slow and there are so many predictable scenes. The makers have added good twists but most of them can be predicted. What’s good is that each character has its own importance. Sita Ramam has some very good romantic scenes and the added bonus is the presence of big stars. The pacing is slow but the film will surely pull your heartstrings with its honest narration and storytelling.
Bottom Line – Classy romantic tale
