Kathuru Mithuru

I remember the time when Sri Lanka produced absolutely stunning and addictive movies, like Ho Gaana Pokuna, Aloko Udapadi, Maharaja Gemunu etc. That age is long gone. We had very high expectations for this movie after watching that hilarious trailer, but ended up extremely disappointed. The acting is so bad, so much so that you can almost sense the camera rolling behind the screen. I believe even Dr. Jayalath Manorathne didn't give it his all to this movie, it's as if he half assed it. This is most certainly NOT worthy to be the legendary Dr. Manorathne's last movie. The music was okay, the songs were subpar, some of the jokes were pretty good, but some were just okay-ish. What disappoints me the most is the reception that this movie got from the audience. By the looks of it, they absolutely loved it! If the movie taste of our countrymen has degraded this much, I have no expectations for the future of the Sri Lankan movie industry. Our neighbor India is producing almost Hollywood class blockbusters each year, while we're still making this garbage. Don't waste your time watching this, just rewatch some old Sri Lankan movies on your home television. Anyways, if y'all really want to try it out, knock yourselves out. Don't say I didn't warn y'all later on.

I had high hopes for this movie for many reasons. First the Director Giriraj Kaushalyas previous movies were great ( Suhada Koka & Sikuru Hathe). Second the cast is superb. Specially Jayalath manoratne. Third is the wait. Over three years ive watched parta of jokes of the movie in social media platforms and they looked great. Finally today i watched the movie and im totally disappointed . Acting was great. Jokes were funny. But there is no strong plot. Jokes alone carried the movie. First half was actually good. Last act and the ending was totally unrealistic and rushed. I mean come on!. Why ruin the ending like that?

Kathuru Mithuru is a light comedy film that features veteran actors in a rural town. Despite its commercial success in Sri Lanka, the plot lacks true substance and depth.

The film features a cacophony of cluttered scenes, almost all seemingly compiled comedic bits that do not truly connect or tie in together. Some supporting roles receive screen time but do not actually contribute to the story. Colors and quality are really inconsistent. Musical scenes are edited into the film but are positioned quite awkwardly between scenes.

Despite being a crowd favorite for its easy to digest delivery, this is not a great representation of Sri Lankan cinema. This industry can do better.

I'm utterly dismayed by the quality of this film. It's a prime example of the decline of the Sri Lankan cinema industry. Even a hastily written and produced children's play would surpass this abysmal attempt at entertainment. The plot is nonexistent, leaving the audience utterly confused about the film's genre. It's devoid of humor, action, or any meaningful message. There's simply nothing of substance to hold the viewer's attention.

The acting is equally disappointing, with performances that feel forced and unrealistic. The jokes, if you can even call them that, are utterly lame and fail to elicit even a chuckle. Even the most amateurish school dramas manage to produce more laughs than this entire film.

I'm deeply saddened by the direction in which the Sri Lankan film industry is heading. This film has solidified my decision to refrain from watching any further Sinhala productions. I urge you to avoid this cinematic disaster and save yourself from the disappointment and frustration it inevitably causes.

Poor story. Poor editing. Poor directing. Great actors with poor acting. Good plot but poor presenting at the end.

There is no flow in the story. Some unnecessary scenes, just to make more run time. Even though they used many great actors the plot was nothing. There is no natural flow in some dialogs as well. Tries to make the story with many unnecessary joke scenes. And the jokes are very primitive.

Movie starts with a good story line, but suddenly fast forwarded mode at the end without giving the audience any proper idea on the plot.

Rarely watch Sinhalese movies and disappointed as usual.
