A devastated, pregnant, and distraught Sita is rescued by Valmiki, who takes her to his Ashram by renaming her Lokapavni, where she subsequently gives birth to twin sons Lava and Kusha.
The twins then stop the Aswamedha horse, not realising that they will soon be thrust into a confrontation with Lakshman, Rama, and the entire army of Ayodhya.
Sita reunites her two sons Kusha and Lava with their father Rama and returns to her mother Bhudevi.
Balakrishna said that when Saibabu approached him for the role the moment he said that Bapu is to direct the film, without any questions, he immediately said ‘yes'.

[28] Deccan Chronicle rated three stars explains "Superstar Balakrishna finally stepped into his legendary father NTR's shoes and impressed audiences playing the role of Lord Rama.
Veteran director Bapu deserves all the praise he gets for remaking the classic Lava Kusa (1963) and retaining the soul of the original".
[30] Oneindia.in noted "Sri Rama Rajyam is a feel good film that showcases our ancient culture, heritage and values.
[32] Sify gave verdict as "Good" and says "The movie holds ample strength to live up to the expectations at the box office.
Bapu and his associate Ramana does not deviate much from Lava Kusa, and they took great pains to see that the element of exaggeration is completely checked".
[33] The Hindu wrote: "The director Bapu should be applauded for re-inventing the mythological and using a glitzy starcast and getting an understated performance from all of them".
[34] Director K. Viswanath compared the duo Bapu and Ramana to "technically perfect and smooth Rolls Royce".
