Seeking mother’s comfort
Avurudu Diyaniya is a story of a newly married couple, Narada and
Thilini full of hopes and dreams as young couples are wont to be. A
pregnant Thilini and her supportive husband, Narada visit an orphanage
with the unselfish thought of spending the day with these unfortunate
children where they meet a little girl who calls her Thilini Amma
(Mother) to Narada and Thilini’s surprise. Thilini cannot forget this
girl and visits the orphanage the next day delighting the little girl
who thinks of Thilini as her mother.

As this goes on for some time, Avurudu dawns, the little girl looking
forward to Thilini’s visit is filled with joy when Narada comes to see
her as well. When it is time for Thilini and Narada to leave the little
one is crushed and starts to cry. This breaks the young couple’s heart.
They then ask matron of the orphanage if they can take her back with
them for the day, the matron agrees and the three of them make their way
back. Thilini and Narada are completely surprised by the little girl’s
familiarity with their home; she walks and plays knowing full well where
everything is. How far will this love go? How will Narada and Thilini’s
decision affect the little girls psyche?
Thilini’s character will be played by the talented Kanchana Mendis
and the Athula Pathirana’s histrionics will bring Narada to life. The
orphanage matron’s character will be portrayed by Sureshi Gelanigama,
while the little girl will be played by Franci Tehara. This heartwarming
drama written by wordsmith Namal Jayasinghe will be directed by the very
able Ananda Abeynayake.
Wishing overflowing joy this Avurudu, Bank of Ceylon brings this
Teledrama and reintroduce a beautiful yet dyeing Pancha Board as an
Avurudu game. All BOC customers will receive one of these boards by
Avurudu so they might take part in a grand tradition of this season.
Avurudu Diyaniya will be screened on April 14 at 9.30 pm on Rupavahini
and is a Sera Idea Production. |
