Since I am working in abroad, I missed the chance of watching the movie in a theatre and I regret that after seen the film recently. It was a wonderful masterpiece as always by Jayantha. Story line was great and how the past and future were connected in between was great. Both the young actors did a great job although it was there first film I felt as they were the true childhood of Kamal and Sageetha. Jayantha is the best in selecting the cast such as Uddika and Surya for Wadeesha, Kusum Renu and Tharuka for Viharamahadevi and Kavindya and Sangeetha in this movie. It was a great match. I cannot stop prasining Sangeetha's performance. Although it was a shorted time, she grabbed my attention away from all other characters. Also, the performances of Kamal, Kusum Renu, Wasantha, Sriyantha and the patients at the church should also be appreciated. But, I should say the wife of Kamal should have been played by none other than Yashodha Wimaladarma. The chemistry between Yashodha-Kamal-Sangeetha was much needed as it was in Guerilla Marketing. Amisha's performance were lacking through-out the film and she was not supportive enough for Kamal's character. That was the only minus thing I noticed. Other than that it was a great movie with a unique story. Thank you.

I think this is the best movie I have ever watched. Normally when we watch a movie which is more than 2 hours we get bored. But while watching Maharaja Gemunu I never felt that due to the fullness of its story. Costumes, selection of the cast, Back grounds are the three major fields that should be highly appreciated in this movie. When it comes to acting all the actors and actresses have done a great job. Specially Uddika, Kusum Renu, Shriyantha, Jackson, Saranga and Buddhadasa Withanarachchi. The difference between Father's love (Both Kavanthissa and Elara) and Mother's love (both Darathri and Queen Viharamahadevi) was portrayed so nicely and it was heart touching. Altogether it was a outstanding portrayal of a great king of our proud nation who fought for our nation, our tradition, our religion but not for himself. I think Uddika ayya he has managed to show us the anger, courage, love, royalty of a king hence we felt like he was the real Gemunu.Finally I recommend this to all as a must watch movie and before you watch it I think it will be great if you can read the novel of Maharaja Gemunu. So that you will be able to feel the story much better.
