This film is like a two hour advertisement for Rexona products. It is obvious that this is a commercial film and the main goal is to make a profit at the box office, but a director should have some scruples as to how much product placement he will allow in his film. This type of storytelling is similar to mistakes made by a first time director and not an experienced one. There is no intersection of the three stories and the narrative seems to flow in a sort of straight tunnel vision, oblivious to the coinciding sub plots. After Sithum's story ends, Ramith's story begins and once that story closes Prageeth's story starts. The first act of the film is divided equally among the storylines of the three male characters but once the second act begins each story just moves along a tangent.

They are both in desperate need of professional acting training, unfortunately in this critic's opinion not even 4 years at the Actors Studio in New York could help this talent less duo.Īlthough Udayakantha Warnasooriya is a capable director, he is clearly out of his element with the 'Teen' subject matter. But it is Roshan Ranawaka and Anarkali Akarsha who provide the worst performances in the entire film. The only two exceptions are Chathurika Pieris and Pubudu Chathuranga who show a hint of natural acting ability. But that’s no excuse for the horrid acting this film displays. Of course some leniency is given to the actors because for many of them this is there film debuts. Many of the actors simply recite their dialogue. The acting is just a train wreck of exaggerated overacting and performances riddled with stiff, unnatural (reading directly from the script) delivery. There is nothing original about the photography but the clear and refined picture quality is appreciated.

Once in awhile a movie comes along where nothing works except for the cinematography. The episodes of childish dialogue in the script are just too many to even quote in this review. But it is painfully apparent that a clueless adult has written this script without an inkling of applicability to his targeted audience.
But these adults have the ability to relate to their subjects, prime examples are the Teen Movies by the American filmmaker John Hughes (THE BREAKFAST CLUB & SIXTEEN CANDLES). It is obvious that in any country Kids and/or Teen Movies are written and made by adults. Warnasooriya's script is ridiculously puerile. I thought I'd be accustomed to immature dialogue in Sri Lankan films by now, but no this film receives the dubious honor of having the 'most immature dialogue' I have ever heard. He's just dating the most annoying girl in Sri Lanka (haven't we all been there!), oh and he just suspects his father of killing his mother…no biggy! Unfortunately Prageeth's storyline is not better or interesting, either. But that’s as far as it went because I certainly don't recall trying to dispose of a dead body with my sexy teacher, which is what Ramith ends up doing. Ramith's storyline is probably similar to something we've all been guilty of having a crush on a sexy teacher. The storyline as far as Sithum and Pooja are concerned is the good ol' "rich boy/girl falls in love with poor boy/girl, but rich boy's/girl's parents try to break them up." In their case it's Pooja's brother who takes it upon himself to break this relationship up, probably because he's jealous his sister is getting more 'shlong' than he does. It's just about the infantile antics of three so-called young adults. What is the plot of the film…you ask? Well this film is unique because it has NO plot. The film features a cast of young and fairly unknown actors such as Pubudu Chathuranga (Sithum), Jayantha Athapaththu (Ramith), Roshan Ranawaka (Prageeth), Chathurika Pieris (Pooja), Harshani Perera (Ms. HIRIPODA WASSA is written and directed by Udayakantha Warnasooriya. Each friend has their share of problems and aspirations and this film focuses on their lives for a brief moment. His story is about the events that follow after the sudden death of his mother. Prageeth lives in the lap of luxury because his father is a successful businessman.
Arosha and the bizarre dilemma he faces in order to please her. His story is about a crush he has for his teacher Ms. Ramith is from a middle class family and his father is the owner of an automobile repair garage. His story is about a budding relationship he initiates with Pooja.
Sithum comes from a lower middle class family his father is a Postman and mother a housewife. This is the tale of three school friends on the verge of doing their Advanced Level Examinations.
