Director Hanu Raghavapudi’s 'Sita Ramam' starring Dulquer Salmaan, Mrunal Thakur and Rashmika Mandanna released in theatres on August 5th to a positive response at the box office. The film opened to decent numbers on its opening day.
'Sita Ramam' opened to Rs 5.25 crore gross on its first day at the box office. On its second day, the period love drama witnessed a slight dip, collecting Rs 4.50 crore gross for a total of Rs 9.75 crore in two days.
'Sita Ramam' opened top stellar reviews. Film critic Neeshita Nyayapati, in his review for TOI, gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and she wrote: ''Dulquer and Mrunal steal the show in Sita Ramam. For a film like this to work, you need to be invested in the story and the actors do a good job of ensuring that. They breathe life into their characters and it doesn’t hurt that Mrunal looks breathtaking in the film. Rashmika, Tharun, Sachin and Sumanth do a good enough job while Vennela Kishore and Murli Sharma are a hoot. A lot of able actors from Priyadarshi and Rahul Ravindran to Tinu Anand and Gautam Vasudev Menon make short appearances that work well for the film. PS Vinod, Shreyaas Krishna’s cinematography and Vishal Chandrasekhar’s music truly aid in bringing the world of Sita Ramam to life. But a special shoutout must be given to art director Irfan Rashid Sheikh and costume designer Sheetal Sharma for transporting the audience so seamlessly to the 60s and 80s.''
'Sita Ramam' boasts an impressive star cast that includes Dulquer Salmaan as Lieutenant Ram, Mrunal Thakur as Sita Mahalakshmi, Rashmika Mandanna as Afreen, Sumanth as Brigadier Vishnu Sharma, Gautham Vasudev Menon as Major Selvan, Bhumika Chawla as Mrunalini Sharma, Vishnu Sharma's wife, Shatru as Lieutenant Vikas, Sachin Khedekar as Brigadier Tariq, Afreen's grandfather, Rohini as Reporter Vijayalakshmi and Sunil plays the role of Maruthi in the film.
