I was born and bred in Colombo. I
am a mother of two teenage children.From what I have read so
far in both English and Sinhala print media, I’d rather die than
watch ‘Aksharaya’ with/without my children or
with/without my husband.
As against this, I watch ‘Senehase Geethaya’ telecast
on Swarnavahini with my whole family, domestic staff, chauffeurs
and immediate neighbours. They all stop their activities to
flock around the TV at 7.30 p.m. on weekdays for this excellent
entertainment.
Hats off to the Director/Producer of ‘Senehase Geethaya’,
Swarnavahini`A0and the Minister of Cultural Affairs for doing
their duty by the nation.
We do not need nudity or any other form of "cheap"
dramatization for the general public to enjoy a movie etc., if
its substance is appealing`A0 as amply demonstrated by the
Director of ‘Senehase Geethaya’.
I hope, in future, directors/ producers will not
be`A0lured/bought by ‘foreign forces’.
