And Sri Rama will continue his charisma in ruling the kingdom after his Pattabhishekam. One day he hears the sweet news that Sita is pregnant. Everything looks fine, but on one day Sri Rama came to know that people in his kingdom are having discussions about Sita's character, as she spent some time in Ravana's place. So, Rama decides himself to leave Sita and she is sent to the forest. There she was protected by Valmiki and was given shelter in his Ashram. Later she gives birth at Ashram to twins; Lava and Kusa. What are the incidents that happens next forms the Sri Rama Rajyam Story.

I haven't seen it before but wanted to. I saw it today in Tamil. Its really good. It was originally made in Telugu but dubbed into Tamil and Malayalam as well.

The movie was enjoyable. Planning to get the discs soon 😳

Wow, they even have it in Tamil? I have not watched it. How was Nayantara's potrayal as Sita? And was Ram really blue color as per the books?

Thanks for opening this topic, Visha. :)

Yes, watched it in Sun TV today.

Nayantara was fine, I should say. In the beginning I was skeptical too but she did OK. In fact, this film had won the award for 'Best Actress', if I remember right.


Ram was shown blue in the movie but as per the original books, his colour is black. There are so many descriptions of him being the colour of rain clouds but


The thing with these movies is that they are more of a drama than a movie or real portrayal. I do agree with Janaki, it was a remake of the old Lava Kusa. I have grown up with Sampoorna Ramayan and Lava Kusa, but I enjoyed this movie too. The sets were grand and I like the effects.

I loved the guys who played Lava, Kusa, Balaguru (Hanuman as a child) and the guy who played Ram as a kid. These kids were so damn cute and the songs were truly mesmerising. Its been ages since I saw something proper that gave me the feel of South Indian literature and this movie gave me exactly that.

This movie got the awards for lyrics too, I think.

I liked the bits when they show the characters dreaming about what they want to happen.

What I didn't like about the movie was the ending - they made a HUGE MESS. The story was going on well and they rushed it in the end and finished it in a hurry. As Janaki had said, Ram's emotions were too stiff in the climax. He was good in the beginning and fine till Sita decided to leave the Earth. (Yes, they show Sita going into the Earth). I liked the effects for Bhuma Devi, though. 

The movie ends with Ram crowning his sons king and leaving the Earth to reach Vaikuntham, where we get a darshan of Sri Vishnu with Devi Lakshmi by His side.

I too saw the Tamil version yesterday and even I felt the lead actors overacted ; the blue colour of Rama was a huge put off; Nayantara was OK .The only good thing was the 'South Indian' feel to ti- which I have not experienced in a long time.

Oh..!! So they shown the Tamil version?
Hopefully they will telecast the Mal version soon. It was released only during the July, Ramayana Maasam in Kerala.
But what's the use.!! When I don't have any facilities for watching TV here..! As Varaali said, getting a South Indian touch to the epics is something that really makes us happier.

In fact Nayantara was so fascinated and empathetic towards Sita (which was her last film before she had plans to marry actor Prabhudeva) that she was living as pure vegetarian throughout the days of shoot and led a too simple and humble life. Even some media claimed that she declared she won't act hereafter since she has done the best role ever in her life. (Though it might have been because she is going to marry, now everything changed. She is no more with Prabhudeva and has resumed acting in mass-masala films again).
