'Mawila Penewi' (Original Gramophone version) - Rukmani Devi - Old Sinhala Movie Song (1950s)

Rukmani Devi sang this song for the movie 'Kele Handa' while acting the character 'malini'.

This is the original gramophone version of the song. This song was later sung in a higher tempo by her self which got so popular. However, the original was not so known among our fans so thought of uploading to get a flavour of it.

Nice song and one of the most beautiful woman ever lived in Sri Lanka Thanks Doc

[Dr196903]

I think you are absolutely correct there. Rukmani was one of the rare talents and no wonder she was one of the most beautiful women we had.

[guitarmanaruna]

Probably her most popular song.... I prefer this than the up-tempo version.

Thanks for sharing..!!

Aruna,

Yes, you are quite correct, when she died this song was aired every time over the radio(the high tempo-version)in 1978.

I have a doubt of who is copying what.

Cried - oh the tragic end of a beauty with talent.

God is unfair.

This and most of Sinhala songs at the time were Hindi copies however Daisy Daniels from Kandana sang them well:)
