SITA RAMAM MOVIE REVIEW
A lost letter must reach its recipient twenty years later. Along the way, a troublemaker learns lessons in humility and love.
Review: When Hanu Raghavapudi debuted in 2012 with the beautiful film "Andala Rakshasi," audiences had high expectations, which were somewhat dampened by subsequent films. But with "Sita Ramam," the director has reassured his reputation with a poetic love story that may not be as unexpected as the makers anticipated, but still captivates audiences.
In 1985, Afreen (Rashmika Mandanna) is a Pakistani rebel studying in London, stuck in her ways and deeply hating India. Even though she's from across the border, her feelings reflect those of young people across the border today. At the beginning of the film, she is told that the cure for her anger is love, but she dismisses it as a platitude. But when she reluctantly decides to deliver a lost letter to India, she finds herself transported to 1964, where the love story of Lieutenant Ram (Dulquer Salmaan) and Sita (Mrunal Thakur) unfolds. Ram is an orphan; Sita is a woman with a secret she can't reveal. As Afreen and her reluctant companion Balaji (Tarun Bhaskar) begin to learn everything about Sita and Ram, Afreen may also learn some lessons.
On the surface, Sita Ramam appears to be a love story about two people from different worlds who fall in love while writing letters to each other. But beneath the grandeur, old-world elegance, beautiful costumes, VFX-adorned butterflies, and spectacular sets, lies a story deeply rooted in humanity and love. Instead of preaching, Hanu brilliantly demonstrates that no matter what God you believe in or what country you belong to, humanity ultimately matters. While not everyone in the armies on both sides of the border believes this, Ram and Major Tariq (Sachin Khedekar) inadvertently leave a positive impact through their compassion, not only touching many lives but also improving them. Furthermore, Sita and Ram's love story is such that it compels you to pray for them.
The film also has its flaws, as after being captivated by its beauty, some flaws in logic can become apparent in retrospect. Furthermore, the true story of Sita Ramam doesn't begin until a particular scene in which Ram receives a flood of letters from across the country, from people who were moved enough to ask for help from a stranger. As Afrin learns about Ram and Sita, you learn too. But the way the story unfolds, it seems you can't guess anything about Sita, Vishnu (Sumanth)—a fellow soldier who always seemed jealous of Ram—or even Afrin. However, if you pay close attention, you can guess almost everything throughout the story. The good thing is that Hanu has done his best to resolve all the mysteries, giving Afrin, Balaji, and us enough answers, but this also means that some questions remain unanswered.
Dulquer and Mrunal win everyone's hearts in Seetha Ramam. A film like this requires the audience to connect with the story, and the actors have done that very well. They have brought life to their characters, and Mrunal's stunning appearance is also commendable. Rashmika, Tharun, Sachin, and Sumanth also deliver good performances, while Vennela Kishore and Murali Sharma provide ample entertainment. Several talented actors, from Priyadarshi and Rahul Ravindran to Tinnu Anand and Gautham Vasudev Menon, make their presence felt in small roles, proving to be quite useful to the film. Cinematography by P.S. Vinod and Shreyas Krishna and music by Vishal Chandrasekhar play a crucial role in bringing the world of Sita Ramam to life. But special praise goes to art director Irfan Rashid Sheikh and costume designer Sheetal Sharma, who effortlessly transport the audience to the 60s and 80s.
With Sita Ramam, Hanu has delivered a heart-warming story and a visually stunning and captivating film. If you're looking for something different among the mass masala films, this is a must-see.
