Asandhimitta

A film director receives a telephone call from Asandhimiththa. She requests him to make a movie with her life story. She asks film director to give her an appointment to tell her story. The scene shifts to a bus where Asandhimitta and a young Wickramasekara are seated next to each other. Wickamasekara gives her sexual hints to insist her that he is willing to start a relationship with him. He gets down from the same place where Asandhimitta gets down and becomes her paramour. The story progresses with some hints alluding to the docile nature of Wickramasekara who tries to fit himself into the role of a house-husband. Asandhimitta is a ticket collector at a parking lot and she is subjected to ridiculous remarks of her body and her weight. Asandhimitta loses her job and tries to do several odd jobs like exorcist, however she fails. Then she puts an advertisement in an newspaper mentioning that she is going to start an association for helpless women. She and Wickramasekara visit an apparently rich family including two ladies named Madara and Samadara and Wickramasekara tries to deceive the divorced lady in that family. The film reaches its climax when Wickramasinghe strangled the ladies. Asandhimitta is arrested by the police in connection to these three murders and director tried to locate Wickramasekara alian Wicky with the help of Pradeep the landlord of Asandhimitta's house. At the end of the film the audience is informed that Wickramasera is a hallucination of Asandhimitta and the two male character are the younger and older version of the same character. The film ends with the juxtaposition of director cutting his birthday cake with Asandhimitta raised to a noose to execute death penalty by prison officers.

The film is a hardcore demonstration of several theories just like the novel. It asks some serious questions about reality and fantasy; the audience cannot draw a line between these two. Psychoanalytic criticism of the main characters help the audience to grasp a deep understanding of human life. However, the film has omitted Asandimiththa's passion to read books and newspaper from which she creates Wicky' character.
