Sihinaya Dige Enna (Come along the dream) is a 2012 Sri Lankan film directed by Chandrarathne Mapitigama. It is a musical love story which also focuses on Sri Lankan ethnic issues.
Plot
The heroine of the story (played by Udari Warnakulasuriya) is a violinist, and the hero (played by Amila Abesekara) is a guitarist. Their romance is set against ethnic issues between the Sinhalese and Tamil people of Sri Lanka. The heroine's father is a politician and mayor of a city in the hill country. The hero's mother, Sakunthala, is a rich and noble woman from Colombo. Sakunthala goes to the hill country city seeking revenge on her former lover who deserted her 25 years ago. When the mayor finds that his daughter is in love with Sakunthala's son, he makes every effort to break up their romance. Sakunthala also attempts to break up the young couple since she knows that the mayor is her son's father. However, the mayor's wife reveals a secret which allows the young lovers to reunite and teaches a lesson in ethnic harmony.
Background
Sihinaya Dige Enna was filmed in Bandarawela. Chandrarathna Mapitigama wrote the screenplay as well as directing the film. It was his fourth feature film, although he is a veteran director of many Sri Lankan teledramas. The film's premiere at the Raja Cinema in Jaffna marked the first time in 30 years that a film in Sinhalese with Tamil language subtitles was shown in the city.[1]
Music
The film's music director, Dinesh Subasinghe, had worked with director Chandrarathne Mapitigama on previous teledramas. He composed the score and also played the violin and guitar pieces which were mimed by the actor and actress playing the young lovers. The background music for the score, largely variations on the title song "Sihinaya Dige Enna", was played by the Symphony Orchestra of Sri Lanka. The playback singers were Uresha Ravihari, Dumal Warnakulasuriya, and Kasun Primal. Uresha Ravihari sang the title song which has also been released as a single.[1][2]
