The story of the film Lav Kush starts from "Bharat Milap" that is when Lord Rama comes back to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile, is crowned as King Rama and Rama takes a vow to uphold the scared dignity of his subjects. Even at the cost of his personal misfortune.

Misfortune falls, and in such a devastating manner that he is forced to send his beloved pregnant Queen Sita to exile in the deep dese forest, inside the sage Valmiki's hermitage, Sita gives birth to twin sons Lav & Kush, noble brave warriors who alongwith usage of art of weaponry learn the great poem Ramayan from sage Valmiki. Lav Kush with the permission of sage Valmikia and mother Sita go from villages to villages singing Ramayan and finally land up at Ayodhya and thereafter at the court of Rama where they sing Ramayan. Lord Rama himself after the departure of Sita was engrossed in a state of melancholy revives himself after hearing the melodious Ramayan from the enchanting melodious voices of Lav Kush. King Rama does not know Lav Kush are his sons and even Lav Kush do not know that Rama is their father. They request to give them a darshan of Sita but alas Sita is no more staying with Rama. Listening to this they get angry at the peculiar behaviour of Rama and leave Ayodhya instantly. Sita on the other hand, receives her warrior sons but they show displeasure in Rama's giving exile to Sita that to when she was pregnant not knowing that their mother is Sita. Sita tries to console the children but of no avail.
