Deconstructing Seetha Ramam:
In realms divine, where destinies twine, A love story crafted, love’s light to shine, Ram and Seetha, a bond so rare, A celestial match, a love to bear. In heaven’s embrace, their love was found, A tale of wonder, love unbound, A fantasy woven, hearts enlace, Forever etched, in time and space. “Empathy’s love,” Ram did define, A noble heart, a soul benign, With empathy’s touch, love’s flame did start, In every beat, two souls did chart. With all India Radio’s magic spell, Their paths converged, fate’s story to tell, Sitamahalakshmi, destiny’s grace, In Ram’s heart, found her rightful place. In poetic verses, their love did bloom, A timeless tale, in love’s sweet room, Forever thankful, their hearts aligned, For love’s sweet dance, their souls entwined.
Story
In the year ’64, a Pakistani extremist named Ansari devised a plan to sow discord between Kashmiri Pandits and Muslims. He manipulated innocent teenagers to live in Kashmir as natives, with the aim of fracturing unity. However, the spirit of brotherhood prevailed, and Kashmir’s love and grace remained unscathed.
In ’85, Afreen, a Pakistani student in London, got involved in a fiery incident that resulted in her being demanded to apologize to Anand Mehta. To avoid imprisonment, she embarked on a quest to find her grandfather, Abu Tariq, who held a letter from Lieutenant Ram to Sita Mahalakshmi. Along the way, she discovered that her grandfather had passed away and was burdened with the task of delivering the letter. She also learned about Tariq’s will, which promised wealth to Sita upon receiving the letter.
Afreen traveled to Noor Jahan Palace, a sanctuary of knowledge, where she placed the letter. She then sought the help of Balaji and Subramanyam to uncover the truth about Sita. They discovered that Ram and his comrades were brainwashed and killed by the Indian Army, leading to unrest in Kashmir. Afreen and Balaji continued their search, meeting Vikas Varma, who shared the story of Ram’s regiment and the tragic events that unfolded.
In the realm of poetry, Kashmir’s heart beats with fervent souls, as Ansari’s words ignite religious tension and division. Muslims boycott the Indian Army, and Kashmir becomes consumed by flames of unrest. Ram, with his comrades, gathers Hindus and exposes Ansari’s plot, leading to apologies and the restoration of unity.
Vijayalakshmi, a reporter, arrives to capture the essence of Ram and his companions’ stories. They share their passion and dedication, and their tales unfold like rivers. Ram, an orphan, finds solace in the radio, and Vijayalakshmi uses her platform to spread his words.
Overall, the input tells a story of religious tension, manipulation, and the power of unity and forgiveness. It highlights the importance of seeking truth, bridging divides, and the enduring spirit of love and grace in Kashmir.
Sitha and Ram’s love story plot:
In the realm of valor, where courage thrives, Resides Ram, a lieutenant, noble and wise. In the Indian Army, his duty he fulfills, With honor and strength, his destiny he seals. In the aftermath of triumph, in an interview’s embrace, He bares his soul, a tale of sorrow, a life’s lonely chase. An orphan’s burden, his heart’s heavy plight, Within the barracks’ confines, he found solace in the night. From distant lands, a symphony of letters arrives, Each one a testament to love and kinship, alive. Across the country, they journeyed with care, Embracing him warmly, as if he were always there. Families are not bound by blood, but by hearts entwined, In their words, the acceptance and belonging they find. Like a tapestry woven with threads of compassion, They invite him in, with open arms, in a harmonious fashion. Oh, the power of connection, so beautifully profound, As these letters, like petals, gently fall to the ground. A chorus of voices, a chorus of love, Uniting souls, like stars in the heavens above. In this tapestry of letters, a story unfolds, Of bonds forged in kindness, as destiny unfolds. For he is embraced, cherished, and forever adored, By families scattered, yet united In the realm of correspondence, where words dance, A solitary letter emerges, enchanting the glance, From a woman named Sitamahalakshmi, she claims, To be the cherished wife of Ram, love’s eternal flames. Ram, captivated by the ink-stained letters, Finds his heart entwined with Sita’s essence. In the realm of his knowing, he discovers That she resides in Delhi, a city of wonders A clue, like a whisper, guides his way To the truth that she’s bound for Hyderabad, they say In the realm of locomotion, fate intertwines, As he stumbles upon her amidst the train’s confines. A glimpse, a moment, and his heart takes flight, For in her presence, he senses a celestial light. In that fleeting encounter, a knowing arises, A whisper of destiny, a spark that mesmerizes. No words need be spoken, no gestures required, For in his soul, truth is quietly inspired. She, the one he’s sought, his heart’s desire, A puzzle piece found, completing his life’s attire. The train becomes a vessel of serendipity, Guiding him to her, with unwavering certainty. Oh, the power of recognition, swift and profound, As their eyes meet, a symphony of love resounds. In that tender moment, a connection is made, A bond forged in the stars, forever to cascade. He finds her on the train, a treasure unforeseen, A love story unfolding, like a poet’s dream. In gentle grace, he presents a missive fair, A parchment harboring his soul’s abode, With ink-stained words, the essence he does share, His contact details, in Hyderabad bestowed. Fortune’s whimsy danced upon the stage, In the year of ’85, a fateful page, A phone, her lifeline, alas, did fail, Silent, it stood, a tale of woe to unveil. But Sita, a woman avant-garde, Arrived at the designated abode, A vision of grace, she did unfold, A trailblazer, her story yet untold. Ram’s heart, aflutter with delight, Beholds her presence, a wondrous sight. Beyond the realm of joy, he soars, His spirit lifted, his soul adores. In a realm of enchantment, their paths entwined, At a spectacle of wonder, their fates aligned. Ram, captivated by her ethereal grace, Deemed her a dance maestro in a regal place. In his mind’s eye, he envisioned a princess fair, Princess Noorjahan, with a crown of rarest flair. Ram, with fervent belief, saw her as the guide, Leading royal feet in a dance that defied. Oh, the magic of that moment, where dreams take flight, As Ram’s imagination painted a scene so brightly. In this mystical encounter, their destinies entwined, A dance teacher for a princess, Ram divined.
In the tapestry of their tale, as it unfurls, Two souls entwined, their hearts aflutter, With each passing moment, love’s grip tightens, A dance of emotions, a symphony of delight. Like a river flowing, their affection grows, A gentle current, pulling them closer, In the depths of their being, a flame ignites, A love that blossoms, defying all limits. With every breath, their souls intertwine, In the tapestry of their story, love’s design, A melody of passion, a sweet serenade, Their hearts entangled, an eternal escapade. In the realm of fate’s design, Ram’s gaze alights, Upon fair Sita, a soul he once saved from plight, In the tapestry of their intertwined lives, A revelation blooms, as destiny thrives. In the midst of that journey, he did declare, His beloved, his wife, to shield and care. With graceful pen, fair Sita doth persist, Her letters, like whispers, in time exist. Each stroke of ink, a tender stroke of heart, Her words, like art, a masterpiece of art. In flowing script, her thoughts do gently flow, A symphony of words, a melodic show. With every line, a story she doth weave, A In the realm of love’s tender embrace, Ram beseeches fair Sita with grace. His words, like whispers on the breeze, Leave her stupefied, her heart at unease. Startled, she flees a startled dove, Seeking solace in the forest, her love. A dance of emotions, a delicate sway, As she ponders the choice she must weigh. In that moment of revelation, we perceive That Sita, fair maiden, is none other than Princess Noorjahan, adorned with regal grace. In the realm of secrets, she dwells, Her true identity, she cannot tell. A tangled web of fate, she weaves, As a familial duty, her heart receives. Oh, Ram, oblivious to her hidden truth, Their love, entangled in a web uncouth. Complications arise, like a tempest’s wrath, As duty’s call obscures their chosen path. Her heart is torn between love and kin, A delicate dance, where no one can win. In shadows she lingers, her secret concealed, A tale of longing, yet to be revealed. In Oman’s realm, where fortunes sway, Their family’s assets, were seized one day, By royal hands, they were claimed, A tale of power, forever framed. To reclaim control, a path unclear, A union sought, to quell the fear, Noorjahan, fair maiden of grace, Her hand, the Prince must embrace. In this delicate dance, fate’s decree, A marriage bond, the only key, To unlock the treasures, lost and rare, And restore their legacy, beyond compare. Alas, his lips doth utter aye. In the realm of longing, Ram beseeches fair Sita, To grace him with her presence ere he departs, Yet alas, she laments her plight, entangled in her duties, A captive to obligations, unable to break free. In the realm of duty, Ram finds solace, Amidst the valorous ranks, he takes his place. His heart beats with honor, in the Army’s embrace, As he embarks on a path, steadfast and brave. Sita, adorned in regal grace, Resumes her reign in the palace’s embrace. Her spirit shines a radiant light, Guiding her realm through day and night. Separate they stand, their lives apart, Yet bound by love, etched in their hearts. Ram, the warrior, with courage untamed, Sita, the queen, with wisdom untamed. In their separate worlds, they find their way, United in spirit, come Yet, this tale’s conclusion remains unseen, For destiny’s path weaves a different scene. The journey continues, with hope in their sight, A story unfolding, embracing the light. Though shadows may linger, and trials may rend, This is not the end, dear friend, this is not the end. In the realm of captured moments, a scribe, With the lens in hand, did weave a tale untold. A dance of time, entwined in a shared embrace, Through photographs, their story did unfold. In ink-stained pages, bound by printed words, The reporter’s craft did breathe life into their days. Each frame, is a window to their cherished bond, A symphony of moments, in vibrant display. With a tender touch, the shutter did caress, The essence of their togetherness, was profound. In black and white, or hues of vivid hue, Their journey is etched, forever to be found. And so, the newspaper bore witness true, To love’s embrace, immortalized in print. A testament to the beauty they did share, A poet’s verse, in photographs succinct. When the envoy from a distant land, Inquires of fair Sita, so grand, She, with grace, accepts the truth And ends her betrothal, forsooth. Unfettered by chains that held her tight, She ventures forth to Ram in Srinagar’s light. Behold, the second chapter unfolds, A tale of love, as yet untold. In this realm where hearts collide, Their story continues, side by side. Passions ignite, emotions soar, A love that’s destined to explore. With every beat, their souls entwined, A love story, forever enshrined. Oh, how fate weaves its intricate thread, As their journey takes them ahead. Together they dance, in perfect harmony, In blissful harmony, their souls entwined, A tale of love, a narrative defined. No better time, no sweeter rhyme, For these two hearts, a love sublime. Alas, fleeting are the joys that grace our days, Forsooth, good things oft vanish in a haze. Behold, Ram, by the Army’s call, is sought, Enlisted for a mission, secret and fraught. Should he falter, his fate is sealed by the land’s decree. In the realm of fate’s decree, The mission unfolds, a tale to see, Yet, not a tale of joyous glee, For Ram, with courage, ventures free. Within the shadows, a girl awaits, Waheeda, innocent, her heart abates, Ram, a hero, he cannot hesitate, To rescue her from darkness’ cruel gates. But alas! The hands of fate conspire, To trap Ram and Vishnu in their dire, Together, comrades caught in the mire, Their spirits tested, consumed by fire. In the clutches of Pakistan’s Army, they dwell, A captive soul, enduring torment’s knell. Bound by chains, their spirit’s light grows dim, In the darkness, suffering becomes their hymn. With each passing moment, a relentless storm, Their fragile heart, are battered and torn. Tortured, they endure, their pain unseen, A tragic tale, where hope remains unseen. Oh, the agony that grips their weary soul, As Pakistan’s Army takes its cruel toll. Yet, In the hour of need, behold Abu Tariq, A savior, a beacon of hope, so unique. With valor and grace, he emerges to aid, A hero, a knight, in the realm of the fray. With fervent toil and Noorjahan’s sway, In India’s realm, their powers were at play, A pact was forged, and a deal was made, To free Vishnu and Ram, a price was paid. The Pakistan Army, compelled to yield, In this exchange, their fate was sealed, For one imprisoned soul, they sought release, To grant freedom, and bring forth peace. In this intricate dance of give and take, A delicate balance, a bond to make, Efforts intertwined, like threads in a loom, Weaving a tapestry, dispelling gloom. Oh, the power of unity, the strength it holds, When hearts align, and stories unfold, Through trials and tribulations, they tread, Seeking liberation, where hope is spread. Thus, Vishnu and Ram, like birds set free, Their spirits soaring, forever to be, A testament to the human spirit’s might, In the face of darkness, a beacon of light. In the realm of hope’s embrace, a specter looms A formidable obstacle, casting shadows in gloom. Just as light’s flicker ignites the heart’s fire, A challenge emerges, threatening to quell desire. In the realm of confinement, where shadows dance, The Army’s decree, is a cruel twist of chance. A solitary soul, from the jail, shall part, A decision made, to rend one’s beating heart. Within these prison walls, where hope is scarce, A battle of fates, a choice so unfair. Only one shall taste freedom’s sweet embrace, While the rest remain, trapped in this somber space. Oh, the weight of this verdict, heavy and cold, As the Army’s hand, with power untold Inquired they, in separate whispers, If perchance they’d surrender the sacred secrets, The coordinates of the Indian Army, Nestled amidst the valleys of Kashmir. A clandestine query, veiled in shadows, Seeking knowledge, hidden and profound, To part with the cherished truths, Of the warriors guarding the land. Oh, how the winds carried their words, Softly, like a poet’s gentle verse, As they pondered, hearts heavy with choice, To reveal the sacred knowledge, or hold their voice. Yet, in the depths of their souls, they knew, The weight of such a decision, immense and true, For the echoes of their answer would resound, In the annals of time, forever bound. Thus, they stood, contemplative and still, In the realm where conscience and duty fulfilled, Torn between loyalty and the call of truth, In this delicate dance, their souls aloof. In the realm of choices, Ram declines, Yet Vishnu, with trepidation, aligns, For the welfare of his kin, he consents, A decision fraught with apprehensive intents. In the realm of fate’s cruel dance, He, released, takes leave with a chance. Yet Ram, burdened by unjust decree, Carries the weight of the traitor’s plea.
The little character progression:
In oh seetha song the director conveys the subtle transition of Seetha. Ram who had seen Sita struggling to eat spicy food… gets amused seeing her having the same spicy food at one go at the end of the song. That’s a subtle setup and Payoff of showing us She is all prepared to be with him.
The progression of Seeta’s feelings throughout the song is really marvelously portrayed, we see that when she is happy and living the moment completely in the beginning she enjoys the flavors of the food and a little spice feels too much to handle in front of the happiness, on the other hand as Seeta moves towards the end of the journey with Ram..and gets closer to him…she slowly moves towards the reality, the fear of losing Ram and that these beautiful moments will become non-existent in the future. Ram is not able to understand the sudden change as he is not exposed to such feelings due to his lack of family touch. He understands the feelings as he starts owning Seeta to be his partner in the later stages of the movie. The fear of losing your loved one.
Tale of Seetha-Ramam
Like Samantha and Vijay Deverakonda, these two characters are trying to piece together a story from the past. This is a clear Mahanati-hangover. Aside from this broad similarity, Sita Ramam is fortunately a whole new canvas. The finding in Mahanati starts from a place of ignorance and the reporter’s desire to find a good story. In this case, however, the journey turns out to be life-changing and makes a character more empathetic and less likely to judge people based on their faith or country of origin.
The 1960s seem like something out of a dream. Lt. Ram is in charge of the snowy areas on the edge of Kashmir. His fellow soldiers are his whole world. Shatru plays a close friend, Sumanth plays a jealous officer named Brigadier Vishnu Sharma, and Gautham Menon plays Major Selvan, who is in charge. A reporter for All India Radio, Rohini Molleti, calls Ram a “lone ranger” and asks people to write to him. Letters keep coming, including one from Sita, who tells Ram that he shouldn’t forget that he has a wife back home and isn’t an orphan.
We hear Sita a long time before we see her because Chinmayi is so good at dubbing. Vishal Chandrashekhar’s music has touches of Indian classical music in the songs and a fun Western-style score in a few scenes. Both of these styles fit with the movie’s retro feel.
Real story:
Yes, that’s the answer. Sita Ramam is based on a true story, but it is not known if Mrunal Thakur based Princess Noor Jahan on Princess Nilufer Hanmsultan. When it comes to the Sita Ramam true story, the movie is said to be based on a true story. Lieutenant Ram is an Indian army officer who is an orphan and works at the border with Kashmir. He gets the letters from Sita Mahalakshmi (Mrunal Thakur), but he doesn’t know who wrote them. Ram is on a trip to find Sita and asks her to be his wife. Even though it’s a true story, it’s told by people who aren’t real. But there are some great ideas in this made-up story.
Also, a book that Hanu Raghavpudi read in 2007 is said to have given him the idea for the story. There was an unread letter in the book. This letter was from a mother to her son. Hanu knew that their son lived in a hotel and that their family was from Vijayawada. In that letter, his mother asked how he was doing and told him that she had come home. So he thought it would be good if the body of the letter listed a few things that had to happen. The Army background was added to the story once the writer had an idea. This thought came from Rajkumar Kandamudi.

Sita lived in memories of Ram.
Together you set a perfect example of what true love feels like
You, people, knew nothing except to love
Thank you for showing me what a great companion feels like
Thank you for showing me what great love feels like
Without sita there is no Ram
And without ram, there is no sita
This is SitaRamam
You will be my forever love, that I’ll cherish.
Yours
