Uthuru Sulanga unfolds an unknown side of life of a person who seeks refuge in a then boarder village in the dry zone of Sri Lanka. The village has just buried all the memories of the staggering Northern war. He (Sunimal) finds shelter in the house of chieftain of the village ‘Ralahami mama’ who does not bother about his past but present. Sunimal whilst trying hard to get over his indelible memories of war, faces his second battle of life as he couldn’t resist the charm of Yasho, Ralahami mama’s daughter. When he loses his battle, the dark shadows of an unforeseen future surrounds him….again. Yet he has to discover himself, his real family and his future.[18]
The music for Uthuru Sulanga was composed by Udara Jayakody, with lyrics written by Thushani Bulumulle.[21]
