Bhawatharana (2021)
The film revolves around a failed coup led by monks in leading temples to kill Keerthi Sri Rajasinghe, the reigning king during the Kandyan period. Alternating between the past and present, the story reflects on the social and political instability that prevailed during this period. The movie blends Buddhism, politics and egoistic human instincts, hence the name 'Bhawatharana' which translates to 'Crossing of Samsära'.
