Gini Avi Saha Gini Keli (Sinhala: ගිනි අවි සහ ගිනිකෙළි, English: Firearms and Fireworks) is a 1998 Sri Lankan crime film directed by Udayakantha Warnasuriya and produced by Ranjith Jayasuriya, based on a popular fictitious novel written by Anura Horatious.[1] The plot revolves around the ascension and downfall of Padmasiri (Jackson Anthony), a gang leader in Sri Lanka. The film also provides a clear overview of the underworld thuggery and political corruption during the latter part of the 1980s in Sri Lanka.
Gini Avi Saha Gini Keli is widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever produced in Sri Lanka, mainly due to its depiction of the emergence of gang-based violence in the country. It was also selected to represent Sri Lanka in the 1998 Singapore International Film Festival.
The sequel of the film titled Gini Avi Saha Gini Keli 2 was released in September 2024.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
