Sita Ramam

"Sita Ramam" (2022) is a Telugu-language romantic epic you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, the 158-minute film stars Dulquer Salmaan, Mrunal Thakur, and Rashmika Mandanna in a love story set against the 1964 conflict in Kashmir.

The film moves between two timelines. In 1964, a young soldier named Ram begins writing letters to a woman named Sita — a stranger he has never met, someone he falls in love with one page at a time. Decades later, a Pakistani student named Afreen is given an unusual task by her late grandfather: deliver a 20-year-old letter. Tracing its origins pulls her into a war-era secret that neither time nor silence fully buried.

Raghavapudi uses the historical backdrop not to make a war film but to show how ordinary lives get swept up by events larger than themselves — and whether love can survive that. The storytelling restraint is what sets it apart from more conventional Indian romantic epics. Stream "Sita Ramam" (2022) online on iFILM.
