If my memory is correct Malini did not play the lead role in this movie- She might have been guest actress. About Shuaibs comment - Sisira always had one up on his sleeve" Punchi Baba, Handapaana, Hithata Hitha - all had one at least one dynamic song.

She did play it though. In her mother's dying moments, it is revealed that the mother used to live in a large bungalow and it will pass to Malani at the mother's death. Malani and DR, caretaker, set off to the house but meet some resistance from Dommie and Sandhya.

Dear Upendra,

I forgot to mention, The Accordian player in this clip is, famous accordian player Victor Dalugama, he was the Husband of songstress Amitha Wedisinghe.

He played the accordian for most of the film songs during 70's.

Thanks for uploading. I think Dommie always played the villain. He is a superb talented actor, although his talents were never given the due credit.

Beautiful song...thanks!

There is a Portuguese creole song with the same melody. (Video available in You Tube) Apparently the Sri Lankan Kaffir community believe that this melody is theirs. Nobody knows which came first. I would be grateful if you could let me know the name of the Latin American melody you mentioned.

Thanks Palitha mentioning the musicians such as Victor Dalugama. Probably his most popular composition was in the first record of 3-Sisters "Neth yuga rantharu....oba soyana kalu kella mamai" (written by Hemasri de Alwis, husband of another singer Irene de Alwis). I think Amitha got separated from Victor D & started going back as Amitha Wedisinga. It is true Victor D created most of her songs at that time. I think Amaradewa-Amitha classic "anothaptha vila" is also a Victor D creation.

The song is an adaptation from a Latin American melody, but nicely done by Sisira (adding even a nice thabla mix). Other three songs in "Kauda Hari" were Negena wetena (Ivor D & Victor R), Ridee kumari (Sisira & Indrani) & Elle gangulale (Indrani). I had the EP record of this film.
