Aba : Architecture captured on Sri Lankan celluloid

ABA, the movie directed by Jackson Anthony in 2008, is inarguably one of the best efforts realized on Sri lankan celluloid. It was also one of the films made in Sri Lanka where architecture had been at least remotely considered. The Art direction was done by Udeni Subodhi Kumara

There are three major settings which are architecturally significant.

1.) The Palace of Paduvasadeva
2.) Doramadalawa Village
3.) Brahmin Pandula’s abode



Even through The palace looks authentic at certain frames, the interior could have been made better. A little bit more effort would have obviously done miracles.

The Doramadalawa village gave a robin hood- meets- evoks sort of a feelein.

Brahmin pandulas abode is a typical ashram.
