Lord Rama returns to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana along with Goddess Sita and is crowned as the emperor, settling down to a harmonious lifestyle. During that time, spies inform Rama concerning a rebuke Sita had spent over a year in Ravana's Lanka. Since his reputation is at stake, Rama orders Lakshmana to ensure that Sita is sent to exile. The devastated, pregnant Sita is sheltered by Valmik by renaming Loka Pavni, where she gives birth to twin sons Lava & Kusha. Valmiki trains them as experts in all fields. After 10 years, the twins decide to visit a drought and famine-ravaged Ayodhya to recite the Ramayan. Thereby, finding that Srirama has ostracized Sita, they return and refuse to recite the Ramayan anymore. Then, they encounter and seize the Aswamedha horse of Rama. Soon they confront Shatrunghan, Lakshmana, Srirama, and the entire army of Ayodhya. At that point, Sita reveals their identity and reunites the siblings with their father. At last, she takes salvation to her mother Bhudevi. Finally, the movie ends with Rama completing his Avatar by entrusting Ayodhya to Lav Kush and uniting into Lord Vishnu.
The songs were composed by Raam Laxman and penned by Dev Kohli and Bhring Tupkari.
