Kathuru Mithuru

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?

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.

Watching it in a theater is like multiplying your joy, with each scene delivering hilarious moments that keep the audience entertained throughout. One of the greatest aspects of this film is its ability to be enjoyed by the whole family, making it a perfect choice for a fun night out together.

While the ending may not tie up all loose ends neatly, the overall experience of the film is incredibly enjoyable. Personally, I found "Kathuru Mithuru" to be one of the best and funniest movies I've seen in a long time, leaving me with a lasting sense of satisfaction and amusement.

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.
