Plot
The heroine of the story Ridma (Udari) is a violinist, and Sangeeth (Amila) is a guitarist. Their romance is set against ethnic issues between the Sinhalese and Tamil people of Sri Lanka. The Ridma's adopted father Ayeshmantha (Sanath) is a politician and mayor of a city in the hill country. The Sangeeth's mother, Sakunthala (Veena), is a rich and noble woman from Colombo. Sakunthala goes to the hill country city seeking revenge on her former lover who deserted her 25 years ago. When the mayor finds that his daughter is in love with Sakunthala's son, he makes every effort to break up their romance.
