SITA RAMAM MOVIE REVIEW CLICK TO RATE THE MOVIE

Sita Ramam is a Telugu romantic period film written and directed by Hanu Raghavapudi. Dulquer Salmaan pairing with Mrunal Thakur and Rashmika Mandanna playing the supporting role forms the lead cast. It is produced by Vyjayanthi movies and Swapna cinemas. This film had a multilingual release and the distribution for Tamil Nadu is by Lyca productions. This review is based on the Tamil dubbed version.

Afreen played by Rashmika Mandanna is left with a job of delivering a letter to Sita Lakshmi by her deceased grandfather only after which she could get her inheritance. The love story of Ram and Sita continues to unfold along with her journey, forming the foundation for this epic romance.

Dulquer Salmaan looks smart as a lover boy and robust as a soldier. Mrunal Thakur glows with her innocent, mixed oomph looks. There is a ravishing chemistry between these two characters. Rashmika needs to be lauded for her decision to play out this role. This role has only a limited screen time but a rigid one. The cast of this film is its biggest positive as everyone delivers their mail to the right address.

The film is peddled more than its actual position only by the onscreen presence of Dulquer and Mrunal. They lift the film in its entirety as their pairing is a delight to watch. Comical scenes involving Vennela Kishore and Murali Sharma falls rightly to bring in laughter. Gautam Menon's cameo lifts the mood of the scenario. The love scenes follow the usual template and we do not get any fresh scenes. The twist at the interval does not excite much.

Vishal Chandrasekhar has indeed elevated the film with his timely musical cues. Though songs hinder the evolution of plot it manages to catch our attention by enticing visuals. P.S. Vinod and Shreyas Krishna worked hand in hand for the splendid visuals. Though the film needs a bit trimming, Venkateswara Rao did his best to curtail the run time. Art department had toiled hard to build the interiors of the palace which brings magnificence to the table.

The film discusses a lot of controversial themes at its forefront including religion. The audacity of the script to retell Ramayana with a different background is commendable. Visual treatment of scenes involving snow and army backdrop stands out. The idea behind the script is quirky but working on it needed a lot of hard work.

The romance between the pair is not as thick as their chemistry.  As the film progresses towards the poetic climax, it loses all its poetic tendency as we feel exhausted at the end of the film due to its over stretched screenplay and predictability concerns.
