Frangipani (Sayapethi Kusuma) (Sinhala: සය පෙති කුසුම) is a 2016 Sri Lankan Sinhala romantic drama film directed and co-produced by Sunil T. Fernando for Sunil T Films and Visakesa Chandrasekaram for Havelock Arts.[1] It stars Dasun Pathirana, Jehan Sri Kanth and Yasodha Rasanduni in lead roles. Music composed by Shantha Pieris.[2] It is the 1260th Sri Lankan film in the Sinhala cinema.[3]
The film discussed about a new pathway of Sri Lankan society, where a heterosexual woman married a gay man, and breaks the relationship of his bisexual friend.[4][5]
It was screened at numerous international film festivals including the Mumbai Queer Film Festival, but has only been shown in two venues in Sri Lanka, where homosexuality is illegal.[6]
The film is Chandrasekaram's feature-length debut. He said in an interview with Fridae that "The film is typical in many ways of the experience of LGBT in Sri Lanka, typical of the experience that I myself had.”[7]
