Sri Siddhartha Gautama

#SriSiddharthaGautama is a true to life depiction of a king who gave up his royal luxurious lifestyle to search for the eternal truth. Despite being offered the best things in life and not undergoing any suffering, he manages to sacrifice everything and lead the life of an ascetic, wandering from place to place. Gagan Malik is endearing in the title role, the supporting cast has also performed well. Rating 3/5.

The movie, Sri Siddartha Gautama plots the life of prince Siddartha, from the birth up to the time he left aside all worldly comfort and goes in search of eternal truth. Hence it's s delicate plot handled by the movie, and I assume it's successful providing the viewer a great cinematic experience within the 2 hrs of run time.

The role of prince Siddartha is acted by North Indian actor Gagan Malik, which I think is was quite remarkable in all aspects.

It's high time in Sri Lankan cinema that we had anything close to a great cinematic experience compared to this in recent past. Therefore, I definitely recommend this movie to everyone.

"an attempt to chronicle the heart wrenching and mind challenging story that lies as the centerpiece of Buddhist faith"

Is the film heart-wrenching?? Most certainly yes. I was in tears almost all through the film....

Was the film mind challenging? Certain Dhamma truths came through by what Siddhartha said and what his guru taught him, and through the words of the three songs, its beautiful..

The film is a success, no doubt about that. Not only will cinema goers of the Buddhist faith appreciate the film and sink deep into it emotionally and religiously, but even film goers of other religions will benefit by seeing a very worthwhile film. It carries English sub titles and thus we presume, very creditably, it is prepared for international screening. We wish all luck to it at various film festivals.... Recommend it for Everybody!

Can anyone tell me where I can watch this movie with English subtitles?

Like one of the review below I'm in search of this movie and can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm writing the review in hope that over the years someone may have come across it. Hopefully I can get a reply about the movie. I'm new to Buddhism and would like to learn more about the life of Sri Siddhartha Gautama and his journey to become enlightenment. I would also like to learn more history about the time Sri Siddhartha Gautama come from and what it was like.

Please kindly post response here, the review would not allow for me to add my email.

Can anyone tell me where I can watch this movie with English subtitles?? None of the YouTube versions are with English subtitles. Could someone upload it or direct me to where I can purchase a copy??? Desperately trying to view it. Please help. Please post response here or email to brahmananda@live.com.
