Pathi, the silent doer is no more View(s):I had just finished reading the article by Rajitha Weerakoon in the Sunday Times last week on a felicitation to Dharmasena Pathiraja (‘Pathi’ as we always called him). Good night, Pathi.’ (The reference to the distant skies was about Pathi’s cinematic creation ‘Ahas Gawwa’, his first feature film). Encouraged by the success of the film and with his left leanings, Pathi made social issues the theme of his films. Having embraced filmmaking, Pathi made it his subject for post-graduate studies. Both films won awards at the Presidential Awards with the latter bagging several OCIC awards.
