He was <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">accompanied by his wife. Amidst the light conversation and pleasant chatter they <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">mentioned NADAGAMKARAYO. Swore it was a great teledrama and that we <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">should give a go at it. I have never watched teledramas simply because I don\u2019t <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">have the time to sit in front of a TV. The same goes for my wife, ultra-busy with <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">our own dramas in life. Somehow the next day we got a break from a tight <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">timetable and went to YouTube and watched Episode 1 of Nadagamkarayo. Then <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">we watched Episode 2 and then 3 and 4 and 5. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Now after two weeks we are at Episode 184 and well set on Nadagamkarayo to <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">light-up our evenings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">I called a dear friend. I know his taste. By profession he is the Head Honcho of a <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">prominent bank. But he\u2019s still got grass-root vernacular taste, yes, from Spielberg <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">masterpieces to Indika Ferdinando\u2019s \u2018Ho Gaana Pokuna\u2019. The bank boss has not <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">been a tele-drama man. The next day he texted me \u201cThank you for the gift my <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">friend, the program is great, I am hooked on Nadagamkarayo.\u201d A few days later <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">he emails me that he is on Episode 58. I called another friend, a leading corporate <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">lawyer married to an ultra-busy surgeon. They have three young children, and the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">lawyer is a multi-tasker from the \u2018A\u2019 Team. She too has taken the Nadagamkarayo <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">drug and was watching the tele-drama at 8 in the morning, the only interval in her <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">roller-coaster daily schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">So, what is this hype all about Nadagamkarayo? It certainly is no quick fix for <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">lockdown blues. It is much more. Pure Sri Lankan simple story with excellent <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">creativity. The cast bar none is acting at Sarasavi or Sumathi level. Kawadiya who <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">has traces of Dustin Hoffman gets the Oscar nomination and Kukul Bada the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">young domestic deserves an honourable mention purely for his varying facial<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">expressions. The totality created by director Sivagurunathan is amazingly <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">watchable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The insatiable appetite of the TV audience to watch \u2018Nadagamkarayo\u2019 stems from <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">the clever way the drama rolls on, keeping all characters alive and active. If this is <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">watched by anyone as a \u2018Daily Bread\u2019 at 9.30 in the night, that is fine, so long as <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">you have that half-hour free to sit in front of your TV. But like us, if you are a late <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">starter and going through the episodes to catch up with the current stage, then <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">you are in trouble. Watch one and then go to the next and the next and the next <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">in an unstoppable frenzy and the wake-up call comes when you hear the clock <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">striking mid-night. That is how strong the addiction could be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">I do not know who the script writer is or the brilliant cinematographer who is <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">responsible for depicting rural scenery of high pastoral quality. There will be so <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">many others who added their smidgen to make this a first-class entertainment to <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">all and sundry. They say cocaine, LSD and pure Kerala ganja are addictive? Try <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Nadagamkarayo, you get bewildered from episode to episode which is hard to <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">switch off until you watch the entire story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Kukula Mudalali seems a veteran from either stage or screen. Bald as a doorknob <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">and with a \u2018Taras Bulba\u2019 moustache he is the perfect all-round villain for the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">drama. Not only is he a thug selling moonshine but a failed Romeo with any skirt <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">that swings in the wind. Manamalan driving his red imitation Ferrari is difficult to <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">define from the audience point of view. He is brash and bawdy and is always the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">ultimate liar. That is his role, and he sure brings a different dimension to the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">bucolic village setting with his patch-work denims and action-filled behavior <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">which has the unique distinction of being pleasing and annoying at the same time. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">This is what we traded for Netflix and HBO. At the start it was curiosity, but in no <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">time Nadagamkarayo became an addiction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-76370\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NADAGAMKARAYO-by-Capt-Elmo-Jayawardena2.jpg\" alt=\"NADAGAMKARAYO - by Capt Elmo Jayawardena\" width=\"638\" height=\"294\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">We have not seen the evening television news for weeks. No, we missed nothing. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">We do not want to know who stole the garlic and created the Sudu Loonu scandal <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">or who hid the paddy. Pandora\u2019s Box and how Uhuru Kenyatta and Vladimir Putin <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">looked for reliable laundries to clean their money is way above what we need to <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">know. The same goes for those who bid for a Cypriot passport at 1.3 million <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">dollars. We do not want to know how 600 plus items were blacklisted for <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">importing and then in a flash a new magician came on stage like Gorgia Pasha and <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">swung his multi-colored wand and Ooppss &#8211; the restrictions vanished into thin air. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">No more dollar-saving cutbacks. We can be clad in St Michael\u2019s underwear and <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">feast on Cadbury chocolates stocked in a brand new two-door refrigerator that <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">has been imported from Germany. No, I certainly do not need all that twisted<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">jargon camouflaged as news to crowd my evening by watching Derana, Sirasa or <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Hiru TV. Maybe it is not the fault of these stations but the politically- dominated <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">mundane news that is available or \u2018has to be\u2019 shown by order. I will gladly trade <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">all that to see Loku Hamuduruwo on Nadagamkarayo screen with his serene <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">behavior and exemplary attitude to life which soothes our very souls. At all times <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">the soft words of Loku Hamuduruwo are always a simple wisdom-filled lesson in <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">life to all of us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Cap it up with the daily occurrences at the tea kiosk by the paddy field where the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">shop owner, manager, and tea-maker Mudalali and his golaya Gajaman colour the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">show. His customers are the banana-eating and kahata-drinking clan who spice <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">the story with palatable \u2018Gamey Talk\u2019 . The champion of this mini-stage is Sirisena <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">the erudite goat-milk-seller who has his own interpretations and anecdotes to <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">anything and everything political that happens in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Sudu Chooti comes to the story as a village Juliet. She is the daughter of the Music <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Master and his comely wife Kusumalatha who is \u2018all perfect\u2019 in her role as a village <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">mother. Here the village damsel Sudu Chooti falls in love with the Kassippu-selling <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Sara the scourge of the village. No doubt, Sara carries the show wrapped in a <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">rugged flamboyance which is nothing but raw talent. He sure is the ultimate <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u2018Village Hampden\u2019 from Gray\u2019s Elegy, a rebel against constant village tyranny. He <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">and his Kassippu boys, Kawadiya, Suddha and Kiri Putha depict clearly to the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">audience the sadness of the youth today. The poverty that plagues their young <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">lives with no answers visible to make a decent living is an unchangeable tragedy. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">They are outcasts in the village and are branded for life with no avenue for <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">redemption. That part of Nadagamkarayo is a lesson to us all. The underlying <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">message is clear; It is not the core of the man that is rotting, it is the system that <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">denies him the opportunity. Where and when is the brighter day that would give <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">him a chance to wake up and make attempts to be a decent human being?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-76372\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NADAGAMKARAYO-by-Capt-Elmo-Jayawardena3.jpg\" alt=\"NADAGAMKARAYO - by Capt Elmo Jayawardena\" width=\"633\" height=\"292\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Rasika is poor, her husband has left her, and run off with another woman.
