Alright, if you're a movie enthusiast on the hunt for some decent Sinhala cinema, I'd say give this one a shot. Now, don't get me wrong, it's not exactly a masterpiece, but it's definitely worth a watch. It's not some cheap copy of a foreign movie either. Plus, it's got some catchy tunes and that good old commercial charm we all love.
At first, the dialogue might make you cringe a bit, but you'll get used to it. Rashiprabha really steals the show here with her stellar performance. The story? Well, it's pretty straightforward, no unnecessary subplots to confuse you.
Yasas Medagedara nails it in the music department, hitting all the right emotional notes for the film. Though I got to admit, the songs didn't quite hit the same popularity as the last movie, 'Adaraneya Prarthana'.
Now, onto the not-so-great stuff. Those extreme close-up shots? Yeah, they didn't do the scenes any favors. Mr. Wasawa Baduge; director/cinematographer/editor you really should've been more selective about your shots. Like, that fire scene with Sachin? Total overkill on the close-ups. Seriously, give the hero some breathing room!
But, aside from those issues and a few cringy lines, the movie's not half bad. It's your typical love story, so you pretty much know what you're getting into. The actors, the music, the vibrant visuals-they all keep you hooked for the whole two hours, no dull moments in sight.
So, gather your friends and go to the theater. We're always praising foreign films, but hey, let's show some love for our own cinema too. Catch it on the big screen and support the local talent!
