### Plot
Sita is a materialistic, career-oriented woman who cares only for material gain. The MLA Basavaraju desires her and demands what she promised him in return for his help; in a desperate situation she enters a contract to live with him, then tries to buy her way out of it.[6](https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/Sita?hl=en_US&id=UaU0CVRM0Po.P) • [5](https://www.justwatch.com/fr/film/sita)
The turning point comes when she tries to reclaim her late father's property and discovers it has been transferred to Ram, an innocent young man. As a four-year-old, Ram had been left in a monastery by Anand Mohan, who promised that Sita would come to care for him and made Ram promise to protect Sita in return; when Sita finally meets him twenty years later, her intentions toward him are far from good.[6](https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/Sita?hl=en_US&id=UaU0CVRM0Po.P) • [2](https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/seetha/umc.cmc.2x1d4ietk87to745hrs0vthi0) How Ram helps Sita out of her difficulties forms the core of the story.[5](https://www.justwatch.com/fr/film/sita)
