This song by Sujatha is really haunting . "Parasathul Mal" has always lingered in my mind from the time I saw it. This song is so soothing and shows Sujata's versatility. Lionel Algama composed one of my favorites " Me Bawayade Mulu Diya Dahare" by Narada Disasekara. He also composed the music for Nanda Malini's "Mulu Nuwarama nidigath wele oba pamanai" If I recollect correctly, he was the music director for "Preadeepe Ma Wewa" which where Vijaya,Malini,Sonia and Baptist acted.

SC,

I like Algama music very much and you have picked there 'mey bhawayedi' very correctly, a pleasant song too with a deeper meaning.

thanks for your input in the channel.

Parasathumal is a milestone in the Sri Lankan Cinema. Briliant performance by Gamini. He directed this movie when he was just 29 years.

[Dr196903]

Gamini has been an actor with versatile performance. He was an asset to Sri Lankan cinema.

If I am not mistaken, Lionel Algama composed music for the famous Dayananda Gunawardena drama "Naribena", which included songs 'Kumatada sobaniye' & 'Ahela gahe mal pipila'.

Hi Pooji,

The movie 'Parasathumal' was in fact available on DVD as I remember a few years ago in Lanka.

The film was also shown a few times on the state television. Anula K was great and not to be seconded by Punya H.

Many thanks for posting this Lionel Algama classic composition..!!

Palitha,

Thanks for your comments. I don't know who actually wrote this sad emotional song.

I also have the film in Sri Lanka and if my memory serves me well the scene had nona(Anula) with the infant from hamu(Gamini).

I also like the song 'Sandakath Diya' sung by Maestro Amaradeva. Very mellow too.

This entire movie 'Parasathu Mal' tells us the story of most of the wealthy old people and what they did in Sri Lanka. This particular one was based on one such person too apparently in the 1960s which I cannot remember now.

thanks for your comment.

[palithabatu]

Vidhura,

Thanks for uploading this classic song which was very popular, beautiful sad solo from Lionel Algama and Sujatha Attanayake with blending lyrics. Gamini Fonseka directed this film when he was young. Also famous musician Shelton Perera too acted in the movie playing tabla while gamini was singing.

I have the original movie.
