Cinemas in Colombo

Colombo is the largest city and commercial hub of Sri Lanka. The city is bustling with life and energy. Smart businessmen rub shoulders with street vendors. The city is steeped in rich history. Buddhism which had its impact from the 3rd century B.C. on the nation still continues to be the national religion of the country. Exploring the vestiges of the Portuguese and Dutch culture, golden beaches, beautiful seas make a perfect holiday experience. Tourism has also been a fundamental factor in developing the economy. However the long standing problem between the Sinhala majority and Tamil minority has been a major cause for concern. Attempts made to foster peace have been broken several times. But despite the tumultuous situation, tourists throng this culturally and historically rich city. Colombo has a lot to offer in terms of entertainment. Cinemas, music clubs, theatres and casinos make for a scintillating entertainment scene in Colombo. Cinemas in Colombo cater to every taste.

Sri Lankan cinema has received several international awards. Directors deal with issues like family relationships, socio-economic and political issues and burning issues like the L.T.T. attacks in the north. But the cinemas in Sri Lanka show international films rather than local films.
