    Handagama's thinking is non traditional, problem is most our attitude towards this is still traditional. Artist is always thinking beyond average people. That is why I like Handagama. Starting from " Dunhinda Addara", he creates unique teledramas. And starting from " kinnaravi" ( name may not be correct) , " Thani Thatuwen Piyabanna", finally " Aksharaya". He is a different radical thinker, he is not afraid to face traditionalism. My Idea is Aksharaya should allow to screen in sri Lanka. That will not ruin our respect among the foriegners or countries. Thani Thatuwen karaddi benna handagamage wife ge nudity pennannta film eka kara kiyala. Thawa thawa dewal godak kiwwa, aksharay pennuwa kiyala anith ammalath thamange puthalath ekka heluwen naida.
    By stopping aksharaya , will SL society can show it's decency. Api dannawane decency eke hati. Okkotama one boru prasiddi?????????

    hello all..... my idea is something different.....

    did u watch the court order... i saw in the internet... and i watch the film too

    'Aksharaya' film should be destroyed; the intellect should be in mind, not in the breast, says the Chief Justice

    (Lanka-e-News - 2007 July 31, 8.30 PM) The Supreme Court today (31) ordered the Public Performances Control Board to watch Ashoka Handagama's film 'Aksharaya' again and to give its decision on 06 August.

    Chief Justice Sarath N. Silva said that the Supreme Court would take a suitable verdict following the Public Performances Control Board decision.

    The Public Performances Control Board initially allowed the movie to be screened and the Minister of Cultural Affairs later recalled the permission and the director Handagama filed a petition to the Supreme court citing that the recall of the permission amounted to violation of his fundamental rights. The Chief Justice made the above observations at the hearing of the fundamental rights petition.

    The Public Performances Control Board submitted an affidavit mentioning that the movie 'Aksharaya' based on the 'Oedipus complex' and according to it the relationships between mother - son and father - daughter are natural. The Board approves the film as suitable for adults to view.

    The chief Justice enquired who that Oedipus was and asked if that kind of films could be shown in this country although such things could happen in the said Oedipus complex. He queried if the scene a woman magistrate is raped by a guard would not offend the judiciary. The Chief Justice said that it should be judged not by the director or the Public Performances Control Board but by the judiciary.

    The Chief Justice said that the film that targets to demolish the courts system of the country should be destroyed and if it were allowed to be shown the 200-year-old judiciary system that is respected even by the LTTE would be spoiled.

    The Chief Justice said that the offenders could be sentenced to jail for contempt to courts. He said that the artists could not do anything they wished. The Chief Justice also alluded that the Chairman of the Public Performances Control Board was an impotent who could not be sensitive to a sex scene.

    Prof. Somarathna Balasuriya, Thissa Abesekara, Ashoka Handagama, Prasanna Vithanage and the members of the Public Performances Control Board were in the courts. The Chief Justice looking at them said that they could go on the road since there are courts and otherwise they would have to walk with guards.

    The Chief Justice said that the intellect should be not in the breast but in the mind.

    A panel of justices including Chief Justice Sarath N. Silva, Nihal Jayasinghe and Jagath Balapatabendi considered the petition. Senior Counsel Upul Jayasuriya appeared for Ashoka Handagama.

    Lawyer Rowland Perera appeared for the Public Performances Control Board while Deputy Solicitor General Palitha Fernando appeared for the Minister of Cultural Affairs.

    but my personal idea is....

    this film is not good for the county like sri Lanka.. coz we are so concern about our culture.. specialy in our family ...

    but on the other hand... asoka hadagama is a g8 film director...


    i like to give some tips 2 u all... think about it

    * how meny films asoka hadagama made up to 2007??????
    * how meny films showed in to the public...????

    "dunhida addara" is the first one... its g8 teledrama...

    i saw one person asked question form asoka hadagama.. its bit funny .. but its having very big idea...

    question is.... "Hadagama oyata puluwanda amarica walata gihin... al-quida hari osama bin ladan gana film ekak hadala eka amarica wala pennala awards aragena enna...?? "
    edata api oyage nirmana hisa muduninma piligannawa....


    mata mataka vidihata meka ahuwe....... JRP suriyapperuma....

    it's not good to bann a film because of one scene...... :yes: :yes:

    In fact Hadagama is a very creative director among few we have so it's not fair what government is doing...... because of those actions most artists will be discouraged to make such films........

    Hi guys,
    I read all of your comments about the film "Aksharaya". Some of you are against the film while some appreciate it. Most of the things that you have said are true in some manner.
    But we must never forget where we live. There is a culture in this country. It is different to that of the western countries. People think differently. We cannot change it. It is true that we have the freedom of expression. But that does not mean we should express everything that comes to our minds. If Ashoka Handagama is free to expresss his ideas to the world in manner like that why not that guy from Elakiri express his ideas in a language like that. (Most of you have crisized the way Hasitha talked about the film)
    Sri Lanka has an image. We are buddhists. We tell to the world about our culture and religion highly. But what would the people around other countries think when they see this film? We do not want these kind of films to show mothers love towards a child.
    This may not be a bad film from an artistic view point. It may be a very good film. But guys, for the ordinary people I think this is not suitable.
    People in most of the othere countries think in a free style. According to them this may be a good film. But, are we making films for other countries? Are we making films only to get awards from othere countries? No guys! I think directors and other people who are in the film industry should make films suitable for our country.
    A good artist should be able to produce things that should somehow be helpful to represent his country or things that help people to gain a better understanding about the surrounding. I think this film is not going to help that.
    Ashoka Handagama has very different way of thinking. He does things differently which makes him a good artist. But he should use his ability to produce good creations. Creations suitable for people in our country.
    So guys this is how I think. Hope to hear from you.
