This movie was turned around once well established sri Lankan tradition. For foreigner the story can be puzzling. Because the problem faced in the movie was never explained.
When a marriage is happened according to the Sri Lankan tradition, it is a custom to spread a white bed sheet on the newly weds bed. When the couple return form the honeymoon, the mother and some elderly ladies of the groom will check the bed spread for confirmation of the brides virginity. This whole story starts from this point, and takes forward.
I am sure this movie must have being a good influence in eradicating such absurd customs from the Sri Lankan society, As we seldom here such society.
I've seen the movie long time a go. I can remember as it having a quite messy sound track. But there are number of memorable camera shots that will pay for the rental price of this movie (thats if you ever manage to find a place to rent it.)
