රේඛාව

රේඛාව (1956)

A sprawling portrait of rural life in Sri Lanka; the story revolves around a boy and his friend--a blind girl who he accidentally 'heals' by giving her sight. Though the girl believes the boy healed her, in reality the boy has no such powers. The father of the boy fools the village folk into believing he's a healer, but ultimately the sham is exposed, causing the village to revolt against the boy and his family.

Curiosità

Rekava is a 1956 film based on village life and mythical beliefs in Sri Lanka. It was the first Sinhala film to be shot entirely in Ceylon, using outdoor locations across the country. The film is also regarded as the first Sri Lankan production free from Indian influence. At the time, many Sinhala films were remakes of South Indian movies, often failing to reflect the local context and featuring stilted, unnatural dialogue.
