Amazing start but the ending killed the movie!
Anuda_26 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Movie started with an amazing tone and it was funny as we expected but later on the movie tried to talk about a social issue but didn't bring our properly! Cast was amazing except the "the couple". Ending was terrible because of the movie plot was weak. The change what they expect to bring out was terrible, bad interpretation of the future. Terrible ending with that and the storyline got killed at the end with that.

Spoiler- Really bad architecture and new addition to the village at the end that ruined the whole colour of the movie and that gives a bad image for the society as well. The new should enhanced the old not demolish everything and build into something foreign and forget the history that's a crime to me! So worried and disappointed about the end. In vain!

A Rollercoaster Ride of Laughter with Mixed Results
sdtaniya13 November 2023
Kathuru Mithuru takes audiences on a joyous journey filled with laughter, witty dialogues, and catchy tunes. However, the film's success is not uniform across all its components, leading to a somewhat average overall experience.

The first half of the movie shines with its hilarity and smooth dialogues. The humor is on point, leaving the audience in splits with well-timed jokes and comedic performances. The dialogue delivery adds a layer of charm, making the interactions between characters a highlight of the film. Viewers are quickly drawn into the world of witty banter and comedic situations, setting a promising tone for the rest of the movie.

While the first half excels in entertainment, the second half takes an unexpected turn. The plot, initially carrying the story adequately, starts to feel rushed. The pacing becomes a bit uneven, and certain aspects of the plot are not as clear as one would hope. This abrupt shift can leave the audience somewhat disoriented, as if the film is racing towards a resolution without fully exploring key elements of the narrative.

Despite the plot's shortcomings, the movie manages to salvage some of its appeal through well-crafted songs. The musical compositions are a standout, adding a delightful touch to the overall experience. The soundtrack complements the mood of the film, enhancing both the comedic and emotional moments.

In terms of performances, the cast does a commendable job, especially in the first half where the chemistry between characters contributes significantly to the humor. The actors' comedic timing and delivery elevate the script, making the initial part of the movie a joy to watch.

In summary, Kathuru Mithuru is a mixed bag of entertainment. The first half provides a laughter-filled extravaganza with smooth dialogues and standout performances. However, the second half falters with a rushed plot and unclear narrative elements. The saving grace comes in the form of a captivating soundtrack that adds flavor to the overall cinematic experience. While the movie has its moments of brilliance, it ultimately falls into the realm of an average cinematic offering.

One of the best Sinhala comedy movie
nayanadeshapriya8 February 2024
Kathuru Mithuru" is a Sinhala comedy that promises uproarious laughter from start to finish. Watching it in a theater is like multiplying your joy, with each scene delivering hilarious moments that keep the audience entertained throughout. One of the greatest aspects of this film is its ability to be enjoyed by the whole family, making it a perfect choice for a fun night out together.

While the ending may not tie up all loose ends neatly, the overall experience of the film is incredibly enjoyable. Personally, I found "Kathuru Mithuru" to be one of the best and funniest movies I've seen in a long time, leaving me with a lasting sense of satisfaction and amusement.

Disappointed
hexx-5221430 September 2023
I had high hopes for this movie for many reasons. First the Director Giriraj Kaushalyas previous movies were great ( Suhada Koka & Sikuru Hathe). Second the cast is superb. Specially Jayalath manoratne. Third is the wait. Over three years ive watched parta of jokes of the movie in social media platforms and they looked great. Finally today i watched the movie and im totally disappointed . Acting was great. Jokes were funny. But there is no strong plot. Jokes alone carried the movie. First half was actually good. Last act and the ending was totally unrealistic and rushed. I mean come on!. Why ruin the ending like that?

0% Creativity ! No story at all !
jmlahiru26 November 2023
I'm utterly dismayed by the quality of this film. It's a prime example of the decline of the Sri Lankan cinema industry. Even a hastily written and produced children's play would surpass this abysmal attempt at entertainment. The plot is nonexistent, leaving the audience utterly confused about the film's genre. It's devoid of humor, action, or any meaningful message. There's simply nothing of substance to hold the viewer's attention.

The acting is equally disappointing, with performances that feel forced and unrealistic. The jokes, if you can even call them that, are utterly lame and fail to elicit even a chuckle. Even the most amateurish school dramas manage to produce more laughs than this entire film.

I'm deeply saddened by the direction in which the Sri Lankan film industry is heading. This film has solidified my decision to refrain from watching any further Sinhala productions. I urge you to avoid this cinematic disaster and save yourself from the disappointment and frustration it inevitably causes.

A cringefest
yasandukalansooriya6 November 2023
I remember the time when Sri Lanka produced absolutely stunning and addictive movies, like Ho Gaana Pokuna, Aloko Udapadi, Maharaja Gemunu etc. That age is long gone. We had very high expectations for this movie after watching that hilarious trailer, but ended up extremely disappointed. The acting is so bad, so much so that you can almost sense the camera rolling behind the screen. I believe even Dr. Jayalath Manorathne didn't give it his all to this movie, it's as if he half assed it. This is most certainly NOT worthy to be the legendary Dr. Manorathne's last movie. The music was okay, the songs were subpar, some of the jokes were pretty good, but some were just okay-ish. What disappoints me the most is the reception that this movie got from the audience. By the looks of it, they absolutely loved it! If the movie taste of our countrymen has degraded this much, I have no expectations for the future of the Sri Lankan movie industry. Our neighbor India is producing almost Hollywood class blockbusters each year, while we're still making this garbage. Don't waste your time watching this, just rewatch some old Sri Lankan movies on your home television. Anyways, if y'all really want to try it out, knock yourselves out. Don't say I didn't warn y'all later on.

Bad Movie with Great Actors
kasunat198728 April 2024
Poor story. Poor editing. Poor directing. Great actors with poor acting. Good plot but poor presenting at the end.

There is no flow in the story. Some unnecessary scenes, just to make more run time. Even though they used many great actors the plot was nothing. There is no natural flow in some dialogs as well. Tries to make the story with many unnecessary joke scenes. And the jokes are very primitive.

Movie starts with a good story line, but suddenly fast forwarded mode at the end without giving the audience any proper idea on the plot.

Rarely watch Sinhalese movies and disappointed as usual.
