I believe this series has ended now. Anyways, i watched few episodes of this drama (early days, before dubbing into Sinhala) and found it a bit realistic one compared to others in this list.
09) Praveena (Sinhala Dubbed version of "Kasauti Zindagi Ki" Indian soap opera)
Nice cute lady Shwetha Tiwari is! But faces can't run a show alone. You got to have a good solid story. Not a stagnating family tragedy. This is my wife's personal favorite, so I don't have any choice on TV, every week day from 9.00 PM to 9.30 PM
08) Maha Gedara
My elder sister's personal favorite. I never visit her during 8.30 to 9.00pm
I couldn't recall the original Indian name of this soap opera, but it's from the same producers of "Kasoti Zindagi Ki". This is said to be a hit series in India, and it's understandable. Because, it was produced in India, with the Indian audience in mind.
And some one once told me, this was originally intended to compete with Bold the Beautiful!!! It's funny that, Indians trying to fight with Hollywood, and we try to promote Indian productions here in Sri Lanka.
07) Wasuda
A locally produced series, with an Indian flavor. From the surface, it's a similar kind of "Business saga" of Wasuda's family. Again, a failed attempt to copycat Bold and the beautiful.
06) Nilanjana
OK, all above 7 to 10 were from Sirasa TV. Here we have one from Swarnawahini's attempt to create a "feminine character" with an attractive, remarkable name and break some market share from Sirasa TV.
05) Night Learners
Another local production by Swarnawahini.
A "supposed to be a comedy" tele drama, but couldn't find any reason to laugh. Looks like, the director have watched too much of "Mind Your Language" during his childhood like me.
04) Gauthami
My mother in Law's personal favorite. Lucky we don't live with them.
This is actually Swarnawahini's first attempt to copycat Sirasa TV's success formula of "Feminine Character" teledrama saga, started with the hit "Shanthi". Oh! At least they should have selected a better actress to do the role of Gauthami. I hate Paboda.
03) Shaka Laka Baby
Did I spelled that correct? Another "supposed to be funny" drama. Some Indian man (or woman??) named R.K. is the producer / director /writer of this nonsense.
02) Friends
Oh no oh no oh no. I'm not talking about the "American Version". This is made in Sri Lanka, wrote in India!
Oh my god! I never thought Swarnawahini is this bad! Last 5 drama's listed above are from them. I thought Sirasa is the only black sheep. This is again another production by that R.K guy, and it's supposed to be a 700 episodes! Kopi Kade is better!!!!
Can some one cancel this R.K guy's visa in Sri Lanka, before he make another tele drama?
01) Kavya
Ladies and gentlemen. The worst Sri Lankan tele drama being telecasted these days is, none other than Kavya, the latest "feminist" of Sirasa TV!!!
It's a total disgrace to this country. Why are all the men in this drama wearing Indian dress codes at home? And why do you want to take an Indian singer to sing the theme song? Don't we have enough female singers to sing in Sinhalese in Sri Lanka? What about Sirasa Super Star girls??? And why Oshadi is dressed and dancing like a South Indian girl in the theme song?
