SRI RAMA RAJYAM movie review

The names of Bapu, Ramana, Balakrishna, Akkineni Nageswara Rao and Ilayaraja are sufficient to arouse interest
in a film. The talented team has come up with the mythological film Sri Rama Rajyam. Let us see how the final
output has come out.

Octogenarian director Bapu has been described as one of the top directors who specialised in making films that
represented nativity, culture and richness of folk elements peculiar to the Telugu language.

Story
Sri Rama Rajyam movie explains how poet Valmiki, (Akkineni Nageswara Rao), the author of the epic Ramayana
narrates the script in general. The movie further showcases the incidents on Lord Rama's (Balakrishna) life
and how his journey goes on after he saves Sita (Nayanatara) from Raavana.

Ilayaraja's music is mellow and pleasing, with Shreya Ghoshal having sung several mellifluous numbers.
The set design is impressive. Plenty of graphics have been used - not just in the "astra" sequences, but
also in patching together the grandiose palace sets, and to show the frolicking animals in the ashram,
and other sequences. The special effects aren't mind-blowing, but hey, if you're going to be complaining
about them you're missing the point here.

'Sri Rama Rajyam' stands taller among mythological classics and may well set standards like other Telugu
classics like 'Annamayya', 'Krishnarjuna Yuddham' and 'Ramadasu'.
Filmgoers, who look for classics, should not miss this film.
