Gindari: Bahubuthayo 2 (Sinhala; Sinhalese: ගින්දරී - බහුබූතයෝ 2) is a 2015 Sinhalese comedy mystery film.[2] The film served as a sequel to the 2001 film Bahubuthayo, which was written and directed and produced by Udayakantha Warnasuriya.[3] It stars Rodney Warnakula, Mahendra Perera and Paboda Sandeepani in lead roles along with Richerd Manamudali and Sriyantha Mendis. Music composed by Ananda Perera.[4] [5] It is the 1225th Sri Lankan film in the Sinhala cinema.[6]
Scenes in the film were shot in and around the towns of Anuradhapura and Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Following up to events from the earlier film, Bahubuthayo, Lanti and Bunty are working as journalists. Tikiri, an evil spirit, comes looking for Lanti and Bunty. The three end up living together while Tikiri does their work.[7]
After the publication of a misleading news item relating to a minister, the minister comes to the house where Bunty and Lanti live and beats them. The minister thinks Tikiri is beautiful, and takes her by force to work in his ministry office. He changes Tikiri's name as Tikri and falls with her. Due to parental pressure, Bunty soon marries a girl named Malkanthi. He discovers he is not well matched with his wife and they frequently quarrel until Malkanthi leaves him.[8] [9]
Meanwhile, Tikiri rejects advances from the minister and returns to the house where Bunty and Lanty live. From there, further problems develop as the journalists must discover what it will take to get rid of the she-devil in their home.
The film was released in April 2015.[11] The film reached 100 days to August 2015.[12]
