About the Movie
The movie is set in the 1960s era, Kashmir Border. It is a musical love story; During an interview with a journalist, he describes himself as an orphan. The very next day the journalist requests the audience to express their love to him on the radio to let him know that he is not alone in the world. Then a series of letters follows by referring to him as someone dear. The story takes a turn with a letter written by Sita Mahalakshmi who refers to him as her husband.
Themes Involved
The plot is set against the Kashmir backdrop; the plot switches between two different timelines from 1964 and 1984 as the story progresses. The involvement of religious turmoils between two different countries is portrayed distinctly. Marriage of Convenience with the Prince of Oman and the Princess of Hyderabad was added to the story to deliver the existence of the timeline.
Personal Verdict
The plot manages to build a connection with the viewers with the tingles of romance in the first phase and streams of tears as we reach the climax.
The movie embarks on the concept of love and touches on every attribute pertaining to it. Love has no language, the statement is proven true by Ram and Sita who immensely loved each other; Ram who knew the reality of Sita, and Noor Jahan, a princess who took the disguise of Sita, an ordinary lady refused all the luxury of the world to be with him.

The Bottom Line
The story speaks volumes of romance and loyalty. The stains on the name and uniform of Ram as a traitor are washed off after Sita submits the evidence which proves he guilt-free; the awaited letter written 20 years ago before his sentence describing the love he had for Sita even after knowing her real identity symbolises the depth of emotion.
