During that time,\u00a0\u201cThe Merchant of Venice was a trendy stage-drama and used in literature and theatre performance education. Bogoda played the character of\u00a0Shylock,. It became registered as\u00a0 his first step for acting in a stage drama.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">During his employment in the Bank of Ceylon,\u00a0at the Foreign Department he met the Sri Lankan\u00a0playwright and novelist Sugathapala de Silva who led the drama troupe\u00a0\u2018<em>Apey Kattiya<\/em>\u2019, a group of young artists known for adapting stage plays in the early 1960s. Thereafter\u00a0 Bogoda became a close associate of Sugathapala De Silva and members of the drama group. The group included notable people such as\u00a0,Tony Ranasinghe\u00a0and\u00a0Simon Navagattegama\u00a0who were undoubtedly\u00a0 the most noted young theatre artists and peers of Bogoda in the early 1960 decade. Their common meeting place was the Lion House restaurant and cafe in\u00a0Bambalaitiya .

De Silva invited Bogoda to play a character in Bodink\u0101rayo. One day, Sugathapala De Silva invited\u00a0Lester James Peiris to watch his stage-play. It was an unexpected opportunity for Bogoda, who at the time, was 21 years old. Dr Peries, noticing Bogoda\u2019s latent talent, decided to give him a leading role in his then forthcoming film\u00a0\u2018<em>Gamperaliya\u2019<\/em>\u00a0 in\u00a0 year 1963.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98491 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Wickrama-Bogoda.webp\" alt=\"Wickrama Bogoda \" width=\"400\" height=\"339\" \/>At the age of 21, Bogoda made his screen debut,\u00a0under the direction of veteran film director Dr. Lester James Peiris, in the film\u00a0Gamperiliya. The film, was based on a novel,\u00a0written by veteran Sri Lankan novelist\u00a0Martin Wickremsinghe in year 1944 and later story followed by two versions as Kaluyugaya and\u00a0Yuganthaya. Lester James Peiris directed these movies based on these three novels. Bogoda has the continuous opportunity to act in these three movies as the character, Tissa was the youngest boy of a colonized and privileged family around on which\u00a0 the stories were integrated. Tissa symbolizes the changes and subsequent adoption to the modern era who becomes radicalized and discarding the old colonized, traditional, and cultural practices.\u00a0Gamperaliya gave Bogoda a warm debut, since the film was shown internationally too, and the novels were popular literature of Sri Lanka.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The movie Goluhadawatha\u00a0gave Bogoda an opening to make an entrance into the movie field.\u00a0Golu Hadawatha was also based on a popular romantic novel about a relationship between teenage boy and a girl studying in the same class of their school authored by Karunasena Jayalath w in\u00a0 year 1962 based on his school life experiences. Lester James Peiris directed the novel into a motion-picture in 1967 from an original script by Piyasiri Gunaratne with Reggie Siriwardena also working on the script.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Bogoda\u2019s first major breakthrough came from his acting in Golu Hadawatha\u00a0as Sugath\u00a0his performance in this movie showed an outstanding skill of improvisation.This flm theoretically inspired the passionate and love film genre in Sri Lanka in the 1960s. Apart from its cinematic format and screen-presentation style, it heavily designed on the characterization and portrayal of the main two characters of Sugath and Dhammi, which were of course fictitious characters. According to broadly discussed cinema concepts, Bogoda\u2019s characterization of Sugath, tinged with traits explained in\u00a0 Stanislavski\u2019s system to portray acting; Bogoda had accosted Sugath from his persona, with a deeper immersion of expressions than appearing as Sugath. He has intensively used his physical and mental participation to make the fictional character come alive before an audience, who had read about the\u00a0\u2018<em>defeated lover\u2019<\/em>, in the novel. The characterization of Sugath contained a broader range of sensitive expressions and attributes throughout the movie to portray the personae of the defeated lover and how he reacted to his relationship with his girlfriend. Concurrently, he has used the acting styles defined in the\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wikizero.com\/www\/Meisner_Technique\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.wikizero.com\/www\/Meisner_Technique&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1661916349653000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3CRVA8zNp-WZ4E5o75WU0-\">Meisner Technique<\/a>.\u00a0In the point of Meisner Acting Technique, Bogoda has given a major support to the characterization of Dhammi\u00a0. In the relationship between Dhammi and Sugath, Dhammi is predominant and\u00a0<em>regulator<\/em>\u00a0of the affiliation, and Sugath is flexible\/adaptable to her actions. According to Meisner Technique of Acting, Bogoda demonstrated this compliance throughout role of Sugath. Bogoda strongly characterized Sugath than acting as Sugath which made a popular Character of &#8220;true defeated lover&#8221; among movie enthusiasts. In many of his later roles in the movies followed by Golu Hadawatha he chose to characterize portrayals..\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TDKce1hOXaU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Being a man with a calm and soft characteristic in real life cycle,\u00a0Bogoda maintained his own interpretation and judgments over his acting career. As his contemporaries in the cinema and journalism reveal, Bogoda did not like to act every character, based on acting. He did not like to accept all the offers that not matching his instinctual impetus. He judiciously selected his characters based on the story and type of character assigned to him and he preferred neutral but influencing roles\u2014the role that has a crucial impact on the story of the movie rather than the character itself. Over 20 years long career in Cinema and Theatre (1960-1985), he contributed over 20 stage-plays and over 15 movies. The hallmark of his acting was the character of Sugath in Golu Hadawatha. His acting career ended in 1985 after Kaliyugaya, the 3rd episode of the Gamperaliya\u00a0 saga. By this time the cinema and theatre has notably declined in Sri Lanka and Bogoda was one of the early retired actors. His last public appearance was in a Tele-drama series as a senior adult.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Following his retirement from the Bank of Ceylon and his acting career, he lived a personal life, while attending his personal business. Bogoda maintained a notable space between his acting career, personal and family life. As his contemporaries mentioned, he never sought gratuitous publicity for his acting life. He had his own set of hobbies; Bogoda was a good-reader\u00a0and was fond of literature of varying genres. Being an environmental enthusiast, he neatly maintained his home-garden and engaged in the fruits of cultivation.\u00a0<em>He is a self-contained man<\/em>\u00a0who had his own business to take care of and was never dependent on cinema.\u00a0In the final years of his life, Bogoda had been suffering from liver disease. Bogoda died on 15 January 2013 at his home. Upon his last-will, the remains of his physique \/remains were handed over to the Sri Lanka Medical Colleges, for educational purposes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Golu Hadawatha,\u00a0both the novel and movie became a romantic and love symbol among the young generation in the late 1960\u2019s in Sri Lanka. Characters of Sugath and Dhammi turned to model examples for a sacrificed love. Bogoda was one of the most popular actors in the late 1960s; especially his contribution as Sugath to Golu Hadawatha earned him that popularity and he became popular as Sugath. He earned respect among professional cinema artists for his memorable performances and charismatic screen presence. That gave an accurate characterization to Sugath that was a complex fictitious character in the novel. In the popular-cinema culture during the late 60s, the then young generation acclaimed Sugath as a role-model of a true lover. He received the sympathy of both men and women for being \u201cbooted\u201d by his girlfriend Dhammi.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Sugath and Dhammi\u00a0belong to a tradition of tragic romance and love stretching back to the past in the memories of the movie buffs in Sri Lanka in the early 60s. Their story is viewed in the context of romance, love, and attachment which ended in pathos. In the late 60s, the story touched with the Rama-Seetha, Jaliya-Krishna, or Romeo-Juliet in the popular aesthetic and romance culture in the 60s and argument is based on the fact that Dhammi betrayed Sugath, while the idea stands though they were apart from each other, their love and attachment are permanent. Young men followed his characteristics fanatically and introduced them as \u201cSugath-type of lovers\u201d. Over the years, the story of Sugath and Dhammi of Golu Hadwatha is broadly discussed in popular romance and love in the different genre of Literature, Music, Tele Drama, and Cinema. Today, the Golu Hadawatha has emerged with a new fame based on the social media networking\u2014particularly on Facebook, personal or media blogs and YouTube. In popular culture today, Sugath\u2019s character is being analyzed as a weak character fallen before his girlfriend, yet he is a genuine lover. The new young generation views Dhammi and Sugath story as an attachment that should not have an end of that nature. Today, the novel Golu Hadawatha is not much known among the young generation, but the movie has a popular reception over the YouTube, the young generation who view the movie explains it as a romantic Sinhala movie for all seasons\u00a0of the romance and love genre and acclaimed Wickrama Bogoda has performed as real Sugath who shows vulnerability and frustrated in his attachment to Dhammi. Many youths who use Facebook, use \u201cGolu Hadawatha\u201d as a popular slogan to express their feelings in different terms pertinent to their relationships, expressions of thoughts\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1960\u00a0<em>V<\/em><em>\u0101<\/em><em>nisiya Welend<\/em><em>\u0101<\/em>\u00a0, Merchant of the Venice\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1961\u00a0<em>Borading K<\/em><em>\u0101<\/em><em>rayo<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1963\u00a0<em>Thattu Geval<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1964\u00a0<em>Harima Badu Hayak<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em>Akkara Paha<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em>Kan\u00ed P<\/em><em>\u0101<\/em><em>lama<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em>Nattukakari<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em>Thuranga Sanniya<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em>Ranthodu<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em>Onna Babo Athinniya<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em>Th<\/em><em>\u0101<\/em><em>th<\/em><em>\u0101<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em>Vahalak Nethi Geyak<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">May Wickrama Bogoda my close colleague at Bank of Ceylon attains supreme Bliss of Nibbana\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em><strong>Sunil Thenabadu<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em><strong> e mail\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"mailto:sthenabadu@hotmail.com\">sthenabadu@hotmail.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em><strong>WhatsApp<\/strong><\/em> 0061444533242\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WICKRAMA BOGODA UNASSUMING SENSATIONAL ACTOR ON STAGE AND CINEMA REMINISCEND \u2013 by Sunil Thenabadu Photos Source :\u00a0apekattiya Bogoda Appuhamilage Don Wickrama Bogoda\u00a0 born on June 16, 1940 died on January 15, 2013,\u00a0traditionally known\u00a0 as\u00a0Wickrama Bogoda, was an actor cinema and but more predominantly in theatre.
