As a support to the Sri Lankan cinema, I went to see this movie at an Australian screening. I'm sorry to say I was thoroughly disappointed by this.
Sub-par writing, directing, and acting. The story flows like a documentary. There are no standout lead characters. The usual recipe of B-grade Sri Lankan movies is visible here; an innocent girl from a village, a boy from a wealthy family, his villainous parents, a fiancee, and her family then the rest was easily predictable.
All the lead characters fail to deliver believable performances. Especially the male lead. He is just reading the script. Few songs here and there. That's all. Seems like Director or the writers didn't even bother to discuss whether this story is going to be engaging and believable. Looks like the movie was put together in a hurry. There are so many plot holes, I can list them one by one, but I won't because then this review will be around 6000 words!
At least they should have watched Tamil, Kannada, or Telingu movies before making this. There are enough source materials in Sri Lanka to make a great movie. Highly color-graded scenes or nice songs alone don't make a good movie.
