Plot

Surayavanshi Ram of Ayodhya, the greatest warrior king that ever lived and the main character of the Ramayana, was forced to send his beloved wife Sita into exile, thus leading him and his kingdom to despair and towards an empty future.

Unknown to Ram, far away in Sage Valmiki's hermitage, Sita lives as Vandevi, raising their twin sons, Luv and Kush. Though not aware of their lineage, the twins imbibe wisdom, compassion, and combat skills that would put any royal prince to shame.

Sita teaches Luv -Kush to always work as a team, secretly hoping that her estranged family would find a way to come together one day. The twins must conquer their inner demons before they can achieve their destinies.

Accompanied by friends, Luv-Kush's journey takes them to Ayodhya, the home of their fabled heroes.

Reception

Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film two out of five, writing, "On the whole, SONS OF RAM has a great story to tell, but lacks the epic feel that one associates with mythology."
