Sita Ramam (Hindi‑dubbed version, theatrically released in September 2025) stands out as a period romance of rare grace and visual grandeur. Set in the 1960s, Lieutenant Ram (portrayed by Dulquer Salmaan) is an orphaned army officer posted at the Kashmir border who begins receiving anonymous love letters. Driven by curiosity and longing, he embarks on a mission to find the mysterious writer—Sita Mahalakshmi, played by Mrunal Thakur, also known as Princess Noor Jahan.
The film’s narrative delicately weaves themes of memory, duty, identity, and enduring love. Sita Ramam is not a typical romance; it's a deeply emotional journey across borders, class, and silence—a tribute to patience, courage, and human connection. Rashmika Mandanna delivers a crucial role as Afreen, whose personal path intersects with the main love story in unexpected ways, adding layers of empathy and cross-border resonance.
Supporting actors—including Sumanth as Brigadier Vishnu Sharma, Vennela Kishore adding subtle humor, and stalwarts like Sachin Khedekar, Prakash Raj, Murali Sharma, Gautham Menon, and Bhumika Chawla—contribute powerful performances that anchor the narrative. Their chemistry brings depth to scenes filled with longing, regret, and hope.
Experience every frame as visual poetry: stunning cinematography capturing Kashmir’s mountains and period-era India, combined with a haunting musical score and songs that echo the emotional arc of the characters. The editing and screenplay draw you into a world where actions speak louder than words.
For Hindi-speaking audiences, Sita Ramam offers a unique cinematic blend: star-led performances, a sweeping love story told via letters, and cultural nuance without compromising emotional authenticity. Whether you enjoy historic romances, war-era dramas, or stories of love that defy time and geography, this film delivers. It carries universal themes like "Can love survive silence?", "How far will one go to preserve memory?", and "What happens when personal truth meets public duty?"
Critically acclaimed in its original release, Sita Ramam also earned nominations and awards for acting, direction, cinematography, and music—including recognition at the Filmfare South Awards for Dulquer Salmaan, Mrunal Thakur, and Vishal Chandrasekhar’s score
