Dear Vidura,

This was a popular song in the 70's , I saw the movie, I Think Anthony acted as the villain. Try to upload the song from Tony Hassan and Sujatha "Wasanthaye", that was the best song in the movie.

Dear Palitha,

You are absolutely correct, Anthony C was the villain also the rival of Dommie. Will upload 'wasanthaye'. Thanks for the comment.

Dear Shuaib,

I just love this song and the rhythm by MS since I started listening to movie songs from 1970s but only happened to watch the movie a few days ago on derana channel. Other than this track there is nothing much - except a few explosive moments by Dommie, Anthony C and of course the beauty Sandya Kumari.

Thanks for your comment.

The film was shown on TV yesterday.

why what about the song " walakulen peraa pewu ama nura" it is so beautiful. it is a duet by Sujatha and ( I think ) Nihal Jayawardena. Pl upload the song if you can.

Sandhya Kumari looked her best in this film. none can match her photogenic beauty. in this film she reminds me of the goddess of the hindi screen, the late Madhubala.
