You almost feel like watching Veer-Zaara as soon as this movie ends.
An Indian army major saving a princess carrying the weight of expectations of her grandparents wishes. The sacrifice and an unprecedented love, the wait for eternity, that transcends caste, society and even borders, so many parallels.
For the generation that has grown with Veer-Zaara, this is a sort of tribute to it to. Not the scale and larger than life protagonists, but with all the beauty and soul.
Sita Ramam is a beautiful movie, that takes time to engage the audience into the worlds of Ram and Sita. Set in 60s and 80s, where the feeling of love was more about the anticipation, of small things like talking over landline phone, waiting to meet, chasing your crush (not digital stalking), almost makes you wonder what is that technology has added to in our lives, rather than taking away. While the names Sita and Ram do blend it by interval and you feel like destiny playing its part to make the two meet, the movie imo did not completely justify using these names and I do not know where it moved away from that to a delivering a more diplomatic stance. The name Noorjahan (real name of Sita) is completely lost by end of the movie, while making sense, the movie did not completely transition into it. May be the times we live don't allow us another "Veer" meeting "Zaara".
Best works for Dalqueer and Mrunal so far I am sure and will go down in their books as a milestone film in their careers.
Took one point away for the end. I know what the director was trying to do and clear the stain on Ram, though felt it was not required. We must not forget that HE is our protector and not the other way round. But then again, such are the times we live in where we feel the need to protect even his portrayals.
