Wali Pauru.. A 2019 Sinhala film...

-


Wali Pauru is a tragic film, narrated around a story told by an old man who lives in an elder's home. A girl from England visits the elder's home. She talks to residents in the home and collects their life stories. This film based on one of those stories.  This story is tragic because the old man who tells this story loses everything including his house, his wife, his children, and even his pension fund before finally entering into this house.
Anyway, this is not the story of all the elders in Sri Lanka; but the number is rising. More and more elders in the country are facing similar problems because they are mistreated by their families. On the other hand, all of them are not as lucky as the old man in the story. Their lives are even more miserable. Some people don't even have elders home to stay. They ended up in the street as beggars or in asylums as mentally unstable patients. Some people have no one to take care of them even if they have enough money to spend. Their children are either abandoning them or living abroad and have no time to spare for their parents. That is why new laws have been introduced into Sri Lanka's judicial system. According to those lows, abandoning someone's parents is a punishable crime. Unfortunately, most people are not aware of these laws or don't care.
So, what this film doing is a very good thing; bringing up this topic to the surface and trying to deliver an important message to the society. I wish that these types of problems are never to be exited in our country. It is such a shame as we are a country with a Buddhist background. According to our culture, taking care of our elders is one of the most important responsibilities for all of us. But those values are not properly respected by the present generations anymore.
Wali Paurru is also a very good film that goes under the FAMILY genre. Main actors and actresses are doing a good job and there are no complaints about their acting talents. Overall it is a watchable film; a watchable film with an important message for the society we live in. I would like to invite you all to take a look at it.
