The film stars Nita Fernando, Ravindra Randeniya and Tony Ranasinghe and is notable for containing the first depiction of adultery in a Sinhala film.[1] that follows the lives of middle-class people in Sri Lanka. As per some cinema analysts, the story of the film advises young people to be aware of their own attitudes, such as understanding, fairness and patience as they will lead them to a better married life.
The movie was critically acclaimed; the British Film Institute listed it on their long list of Top Sri Lankan Films in 2006.[2]
