I still cant believe why this film was not popular at that time even after having many ever lasting songs. Shuaib had explained it well and feels a bit disappointed about the thinking of our people in evaluating something as good as this. We learn that this film had brought together many many greats. Today we still can enjoy the film as well as the songs. This Virindu song is one of my favourites and being still in my 30s I would prefer this song over many other popular hits of our time.
Words are poor to express the beauty of this film . My heart felt gratitude to every one who contributed this film . Real village life is depicted in this film . My memory goes back to my childhood . We toi had a quiet village life .
Shauib, That was a good observation. It is difficult to switch the moods from the old South Indian commercial type to something different. Thanks for your insight. Vidhura
Vidura, Lester said It was a historical co-incidence that Ray's "Pather Panchali" which got a lot of recognition and "Rekawa" were produced the same time. Great people think alike and both broke traditions by doing their films away from the studio!It was "Rekawa" that brought Sisira and Indrani together when they had to go to India for the song recording.During my high school I promised to see all Lester's movies released earlier, no matter where it was screened and I kept to my promise!
Sesha Palliakara acts as the boru kakul karaya. The film audience , so used to Indian movies , did not like "Rekahava" and one of the reasons given was that there was no definite ending ( kind of a living happily ever after fairy tale ending)!!! Another reason given was that the kids remained kids and did not grow into adults in the movie !! Shuaib

Thanks Vidhura, for this great upload.
The ignorance of the village folk is portrayed in a very sensitive and dignified manner.

Thanks Palitha. Didn't know Gamini was involved in it. 53 years ago.

Tharu,
You summed it up nicely there.
Lester is our Sathyajith Ray.

Dear Aruna,
Thanks for that info on Ivor Dennis.
I will try to get the book by Vijith Kumara.

Yes Aruna, everyone has contributed to this special creation in 1956. Lester started the cinematic revolution. Thanks for your comment.
