Akkara Paha (Sinhala, Five Acres of Land) is a 1970 Sri Lankan drama film directed by Lester James Peries, with the screen play dialogue and script by Tissa Abeysekara. The film stars Milton Jayawardena as Sena, Anoma Wattaladeniya as Sadha and Malini Fonseka as Kumari.[1]

Tissa Abeysekera adapted Madawela S. Rathnayake's book as a follow-up to Golu Hadawatha. The film received a lukewarm response in Sri Lanka, but was well received when shown in New York at the Museum of Modern Art's festival.

Plot

Sena (Milton Jayawardena) is sent to a boarding school at a well-to-do city university by his family who mortgage everything they own to pay for his education. Their future well-being is thus in the hands of Sena. Sena however succumbs to the temptations of city life and fails in his venture.

The impoverished family takes on the titular scheme offered by the government to settle the North Central province.
