and Channa in a scene from ‘ Wassane Hiru Evidin’ |
Popular actor
Channa Perera is the producer-director of ‘Wassane Hiru Evidin’
(Sun in the Rainy season) a teleplay woven around love, sacrifice
and mysteries in a bungalow. The cast includes many talented young
stars.
The plot around
which the drama revolves is very subtle and shows the clash of wills
between a group of young people and their parents. The dreams of
the two groups differ from each other.
Isuru (Channa
Perera) and Melani (Paboda Sandeepani) are children of wealthy Sam
Gajanayake (Robin Fernando) and Shanthini Gajanayaake (Radha de
Mel). Sam is a director of a Group of Companies.
Isuru is engaged
to Kawya (Kanchana Mendis) daughter of Victor Wijewardana (Sathischandra
Edirisinghe) and Irene (Nilanthi Wijesinghe), a prosperous business
family. Both parties favour this marriage. Even though Isuru is
a director and heir to his father’s business he is more interested
in a social life being the leader of a music group. His sister Melani
is in love with Kavinda (Harsha Bulathsinhala) an army officer.
Gajanayake and his wife are sad and angry that their children are
going against their wishes.
One night on
the way back home from a musical show in Nuwara Eliya, Isuru and
his group meets with an accident. The accident seriously injures
a poor flower seller Sewwandy (Ama Wijesekara). Isuru and his group
are compelled, on orders from the Police, to remain in Nuwara Eliya
till an inquiry in to the accident was over.
As they are
forced to stay in Nuwara Eliya, Isuru takes his friends to the bungalow
belonging to his father. Despite the strong objections of the bungalow
caretaker who had been instructed not to allow anyone in to the
bungalow, Isuru occupies the house with his friends. Hearing this
Gajanayake parents get worried and sent a family friend Roy (Buddhe
Wickrema) to attend to the mishap and release Isuru and bring them
back to Colombo as soon as possible. Their main fear was that if
Isuru remains in the bungalow he might find out the secrets haunting
the bungalow.
Meantime Kawya
falls ill and is admitted to hospital for a serious womb operation
and at the end of the operation it was revealed that Kawya is unable
to have children. Knowing how much Isuru loves to have a large family
she decides to give up her marriage to Isuru.
Without knowing
what has happened Isuru from Nuwara Eliya tries in vain to contact
Kawya. Unable to contact her he finally sends his best friend Krishantha
(Roshan Pilapitiya) to find out what has happened. Broken hearted
Kawya discloses everything to Krishantha and gets him to promise
to keep the whole thing a secret.
What are the
mysteries in the Gajanayake bungalow? What happens to Kawya? These
and many other questions would be answered at the end. In the technical
crew are scriptwriter a Pushpakumara Ellawala, art director Marnie
Mendis, editor Dhammika Priyalal and the camera is handled by Norbert
Ratnasiri.
Music director
for “Wassane Hiru Evidin” is by Harsha Bulathsinghala.
