Analysis:
Mammootty’s son Dulquer Salmaan has become a heartthrob to the Telugu audience after Mahanati. On the other hand, director Hanu Raghavapudi is known for classic love stories, though some of his previous movies didn’t fare well at the box office, his films are always a treat to watch.
The director who admitted that he has a few flaws said that he overcome all the flaws with this movie and he really meant it. Sita Ramam is a beautifully blended love story with poetic visuals and songs.
Though the first half is a bit slow-paced, the movie gets interesting in the second half and Hanu Raghavapudi finally succeeds in delivering another hit.
Verdict:
As expected, the movie is a classic love story that will be liked by one and all. A decent watch for the audience of all age groups.
