As Sri Lankans , we mostly watch Indian films in theatres. But what is your expectation from a Sri Lankan movie for you to go to the theatre? What do you expect from an Sri Lankan movie?

Something that is a good abstract content, like a movie full of symbols or
something that could talk about controversial issues or biopics of little-known truths or
Anything that discusses human emotions in a subtle way.

What if some one make a romantic love story that is so unique than the south Indian??

Like a good concept, songs, comedy, romance and realistic fights.

But there is already south Indian films doing the same template again and again! Why here again?

Having a song and fights irrelevant to the screenplay may reduce the quality of the film as now in Indian films
