First I should accede that unless the pros I've mentioned above in the summary, the film was an extreme blow. So is the hype really worth it? Lets find out! I watched this in a theatre yesterday and interestingly ended up with mixed results. There's a lot of of talk about the recently released film Aloko Udapadi in the town. This shouldn't be the peak of Sri Lankan cinema. Give a score this movie deserves so that the makers will improve on it in the next projects. For all the Sri Lankans out there trying to glorify this as the perfect movie, I ask you not to be satisfied with this. Finally I should say that this movie doesn't deserve a 9.9. Next movies should improve on what Aloko Udapadi has done right and learn from it's mistakes. But the movie lacks a good story and character depth among other things. In summary Aloko Udapadi is definitely a good movie and marks the next level in Sri Lankan cinema.
It tries all the right things and fails in some of the most important areas. It tries not glorifying the main character and fails in adding depth to the characters. It tries to be a historical character drama of power struggle and fails in that aspect. The movie is definitely inspired from Game of Thrones. The main character should and could have been shown in depth. They just do things the plot wants to do without any backstory or development. The power struggle between the antagonists are highlighted in the movie but isn't shown in depth and isn't believable. There is no flow from one scene to another and the viewer isn't really made aware of how the story leads to each scene. The movie just takes some scenes from the history books and join them together. There is no real plot development or depth. The action could have been better in terms of choreography but is still good. Uddika Premaratne does a good job with the screen time he is given and the supporting cast is also good. It gives the chills to any Sri Lankan who is watching it.As I mentioned before the technology used is next level for Sri Lankan cinema. The movie has good camera-work and decent music. Hats off to Chatra Weeraman for stepping up. It is ahead of any Sri Lankan movie ever created in terms of technology. Aloko Udapadi marks a milestone in Sri Lankan cinema.
This is a good movie but definitely not the best Sinhala movie. I don't understand the reviewers here glorifying this as the best Sinhala movie ever.
