Latha Walpola sang this track for 'Hingana Kolla' back in 1979 starring the queen of Sinhala Cinema Malini Fonseka who also won the best actress award by pipping Wasanthi Chathurani of 'Ganga Addara' to the post.
Beautiful arrangement of music by Maestro Khemadasa
KAW Perera wrote the script and directed this film based on veteran author WA Silva's book.
Dear Shuaib,
Its amazing I felt the music is pretty much the same as 'Pokuru Pokuru' from wasana too.
This film was shown 2-3 times on either ITN or Rupavahini subsequently.
Thanks for your comment.

Dear Vidhura,
Thanks for a great song !
This song has appeal and great music by Khemadasa- almost the same tune as "Pokkuru Pokkuru" from the "Wasana"
Strange that I had not seen this though released in 79- I have seen most of KAW's movies including ealier ones Bicycle Hora Kapatikama and Senasuma Kothanada..
As for Khemadasa , the movie "Ran Onchilla" hooked him as my favorite . Remember "Takkita Taritika padayata" by Milton and "Ran Onchilla" by Angeline ...
