Plot[edit]

The story is set against the background of Operation Gibraltar

In 1985, an aggressive Pakistani rabble-rouser, Afreen, is demanded by the dean of her university in London to apologise to an Indian philanthropist, Anand Mehta, for setting his car ablaze in retaliation for burning the Pakistani flag. When Afreen repudiates, Mehta asks her to pay a compensation of 10 lakh INR within a month, or else she will be sent to prison. Afreen undertakes an initiative to reconcile with her estranged grandfather, Abu Tariq, a former Brigadier of the Pakistani Army, and take money from him. Hence, she flies to Karachi, Pakistan, only to learn that he died of illness a few days ago, and she herself is supposed to deliver a letter from Indian Army Lieutenant Ram, written in 1965, to Sita Mahalakshmi of Hyderabad, India, which her grandfather could not deliver by means of post. According to Tariq's will, she would inherit his wealth only after the letter was delivered to Sita. Left with no choice, Afreen goes to Noor Jahan Palace, Hyderabad, where the letter is intended to be sent, but realises that the palace was donated by its princess Noor Jahan for the higher education of girls twenty years ago.

Afreen reluctantly enlists the help of her Indian senior Balaji and meets Subramanyam, an accountant who worked at the palace for Nawab for about forty years, and inquires about Sita, but he doesn't remember anyone with that name employed in the palace. Afreen decides to chase the details about Ram, believing that it could lead them to Sita, and from a military library, she collects details about Ram's regiment and meets his regiment-mate Vikas Varma in Anantapuram.

At present, Vikas reveals to Afreen and Balaji that he could not meet Ram after that due to his personal problems and gives them Durjoy's address and Vishnu's contact information. Afreen calls Vishnu through a telephone booth at a bus station, but he is about to disconnect the call as the bus to Hyderabad is about to leave. But he becomes curious that someone wants to know about Ram. Vishnu then postpones his plans to search for Afreen. They later meet Durjoy and learn what happened after Sita left.

The rest of the story revolves around Afreen searching for Seeta.

Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

Hanu Raghavpudi got the idea for the film when he bought a book that had an unopened inland letter. Regarding the same, he told The Hindu, "The letter I found in that book, in 2007, was from a mother to her son. I gathered that their family is from Vijayawada and the son is living in a hostel. She had enquired about his well-being and asked when he would be home. It got me thinking, what if the contents of the letter had something crucial that could change the course of events?".[8] An army backdrop was later included in the story as suggested by Rajkumar Kandamudi. Sheetal Sharma was brought in as the costume designer for the film.[9] The film was announced in July 2020.[10] In April 2022, its title Sita Ramam was announced.[11][12]
