Sri Rama (Balakrishna) and Sita (Nayanthara) comes back to Ayodhya after ‘Ravana Samharam’ and ‘Agni Pareeksha’ (these are not shown). After Sri Rama’s ‘pattabhishekam’, he comes to know that Sita is pregnant. When everything is going fine, people speak low about Rama and Sita as she spent one year in Ravana’s place. Rama has to leave Sita in order to protect his family values. Sita is sent to the forest and there she gives birth to Lava and Kusa. What happens next is to be seen on the silver screen.
Performances:
Balakrishna looked good as Rama. However he seemed a little aged to play this role. He should have attempted this role early in his career. Saying so, there is no other actor who could have pulled off this role among the current heroes.
Nayanathara did her career best role. Her performance is top notch and she will definitely receive so many awards for her portrayal as Seetha. Akkineni Nageswara Rao has done a fine job. Hanuma and Lava Kusha are pretty good. Srikanth is decent as Lakshmana and all others did their part so well.

- Soothing Music and Excellent Background Score
- Perfect Casting
- honest efforts
- known story
This is a known story to everyone. Bapu hasn’t added any new flavor to the narrative and simply stuck to the original subject. Ramana’s screenplay is just the same as it was in Lava Kusha. The first half of the film is good with superb songs coming at right points. Emotions are captured well and the actors gave wonderful performances.
Second half goes on a heavy note for some time. But the pace picks up towards the climax. Final war between Lakshmana and Lava-Kusa is nicely done. Second half too has good songs but they aren’t as good as the songs in first half. On a whole Sri Rama Rajyam is a brave attempt from the producer, director and the hero.
They have put in honest efforts and the film is richly made. Visuals are pretty good and it will definitely appeal to female audience and families. People who wants to know about values of Rama and story after actual Ramayana shouldn’t miss this one.
Finally: Don't Miss It On Big Screen!!
