Adaraneeya Prarthana

Have you ever been in love? Have you been lucky enough to find that special one to share your life with? Or are you still waiting for that special someone? Are you parents with children of age to get married and settled? Who ever you are, you can find yourself being portrayed in this beautiful movie AP.

Me being a very occupied and a busy doctor struggling to free some time to satisfy the thirst to appreciate a quality work of art has already watched the movie few times rather than just once.

The artist in me is madly in love with AP not just because of the extraordinarily beautiful music by Yasas Medagedara that drives the story to a different level or because of the exquisite colours, camera angles, art direction and the breath taking sceneries but because of the depth that it touches in life.

Even though it seems as a simple movie with a simple story line, it has been able to open our eyes to the unseen angles of what is obvious and right in front of us. It speaks of the inescapable reality when it comes to ownership in love, As Rahul, Parami and Menaka fight a battle of their own on one common ground of love.

The upcoming and popular actresses Roshel and Shanudri who gives life to Parami and Menaka, are doing an excellent job in trying to link to ends of the world they are lost in by the heart melting expression of emotions.

And this link being non other than Rahul himself who is a novel face to the movie industry, gives a whole new touch and a different perspective to the usual and the conventional lover of a romantic story, by his natural and unique ways of doing justice to the simple yet completed, shallow yet deep, found yet lost and expressive yet the introvert character in which he plays an extraordinary role.

From the very first day until now AP has never failed in making me get emotionally lost in my thoughts every single time i watched it.

The crowd of the audience that comes out of the theatres after their lives being reflected on the screen in AP with eyes full of tears beats any other evidence to prove what an exquisite creation of art it is by the family of AP directed by Wasawa Baduge.

There is nothing much in it and most of the actors and actresses are playing their part in a normal way. The first half of the film is dragging and the second half is somewhat meaningful. The leading actor Rahul Rishika is a new person to the film industry and his acting skills are average but in some instances he nailed it. He needs some more experience to sustain in the industry and he needs to sharpen his skills too. The final message of the story is meaningful but if we take the full film, it is a love story that we have seen before. I wish the team all the very best for their future endeavors.

Adaraneeya Prarthana is a movie that captured my heart from the very beginning. I can confidently say that I loved this film and felt an abundance of love and emotion throughout its runtime.

The story touched me deeply, as it delved into the complexities of love and sacrifice. I found myself completely immersed in the lives of Rahul, Parami, and Menaka, experiencing their joys and struggles as if they were my own. The genuine portrayal of their relationships made me connect with them on a profound level, and I couldn't help but feel a range of emotions alongside the characters.

On a personal level, Adaraneeya Prarthana left me with a profound sense of love and hope. It reminded me of the power of sacrificial love and the importance of following one's heart, even in the face of societal expectations. The story touched my soul, and I found myself reflecting on the choices we make in the name of love.

In conclusion, Adaraneeya Prarthana is a movie that resonated deeply with me. I felt an overwhelming amount of love and emotion while watching this heartfelt romance. The exceptional performances, mesmerizing music, and beautiful visuals all came together to create a truly unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a film that will touch your heart and leave you with a renewed appreciation for love, this is a movie you shouldn't miss.

Beautiful Sinhala love story that truly touched my heart. From the very beginning, I was drawn into the emotions and connection between the main characters. Their chemistry felt natural and deep, and it was easy to get lost in their world. The love story was simple yet powerful, filled with meaningful moments that stayed with me long after the movie ended.

What stood out the most was how genuine the emotions felt. The characters weren't over-dramatic-they were real, and their feelings were portrayed with so much honesty. There were scenes that made me smile, others that made me tear up, and some that made me reflect on love and life.

The story flowed beautifully, with a nice mix of romance, emotion, and quiet moments. It didn't rely on clichés, but instead offered something heartfelt and refreshing. The ending, especially, left a strong impact-it was emotional in the best way.

This is simply one of the best movies I have seen in this genre, especially at a time when Sri Lankan Cinema is losing its common touch and touch of Romanticism. Apart from all the fabulous visuals and camera angles, and apart from the commendable acting ability demonstrated by the comparably new actors, it was a tremendous story which carries a deep meaning you wouldn't notice until you watch the last scene.

As a huge fan of Cinema who has seen all the movies since 'Gone with the Wind (1939)' to present day 'CODA(2021)', I can certainly say that this approach is great, and I was moved. I think this is what Sri Lanka Needs, 'Romanticism'. Romanticism is a philosophy of Art developed in the late 18 and early 19 centuries to reinstate the beauty and love of human life. This was how the people in Europe dealt with the harsh and ruthless living conditions in Industrial Age by being factory workers. I personally think Sri Lankans are also going through such a terrible time now and this type of Romantic artworks are required to ensure positive feelings of life. And thank you to this team for doing that.

For the first time after many years, I felt I was moved by watching a Sinhala Movie. And the best part is at the last, which actually questions the deep roots of our consciousness - as the name puts it, loving wishes... actually what are yours...

I will not be so rude to share spoilers 😊😃🥂.
