Adaraneeya Prarthana (Sinhala: ආදරණීය ප්‍රාර්ථනා) is a 2022 Sinhala romance musical directed by Wasawa Baduge and produced by Ishantha Withanage. The film revolves around Rahul, whose fate becomes entangled with the lives of Parami and Menaka. Starring Shanudrie Priyasad, Nethmi Roshel, and Rahul Warawitage as Menaka, Parami, and Rahul, respectively, the music is directed by Yasas Medagedara.[2][3]

Adaraneeya Prarthana premiered in Alberta, Canada on 27 August, and was theatrically released throughout Canada, Australia, Sri Lanka, United States, and Japan in the following months. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, with the soundtrack composed by musician and vocalist, Yasas Medagedara, garnering widespread acclaim.

A dream of Baduge, the film was stuck in development hell since 2016 until it was revived again in 2020, with the help of Medagedara. Adaraneeya Prarthana is framed like Bollywood Romance Concept films,[4][5][6] and was entirely shot in Sri Lanka, despite Baduge's intentions to shoot the film in Australia, which was cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

Adaraneeya Prarthana received 13 nominations at the Derana Lux Film Awards 2023, including Best Actress for Roshel and Best Direction for Baduge, and secured the award for the 'Popular Song' for the track Sewwandi Paya.
