Justice seems to prevail, in Badulla at least. I know Sri Lankan films reflect society at large, but in too many of them the police routinely assaults their charges. This has to stop as it has become accepted and few of us questions the police.

Torture and police brutality are common things in all police stations Sri Lanka, why single out only these two?????
