Netizens have also reacted to the tweet and appreciated the cast of Sita Ramam. One of the social media users wrote, “I too watched it yesterday. What a refreshing love story. @mrunal0801 you were a surprise after your last two-three Bollywood movies. You have a long way to go. Loved every bit of you. @dulQuer was great as always.”

The second person wrote, “Absolutely...it is not easy to hold the audience in a time elapsed movie...beautifully choreographed, aesthetics in cinematography, scintillating music/songs, perfect closeups to show the sentiments in romance, nice acting by all...Team efforts more visible....ofcourse genuinely.”

The third person commented, “Feels so great coming from you sir! Hope you loved the music too.” The fourth person commented, “Even I went for #SitaRamam last night. It was so much fun. I sometime wonder why can’t such movies be made by the Bombay Film Industry. Anyway does not matter as Sita Ramam is also an Indian cinema & they played smart by casting Hindi belt actors so they could dub on their own.”
