In a backdrop where a lot of Sri Lankans are struggling to make their ends meet amid higher taxes and soaring utility bills, the country’s first ‘rage room’ has been opened in Koswatta, Battaramulla.


The concept of a rage room is well-known in modern countries. However, the idea of rage therapy is still alien to the Sri Lankan society. Rage rooms could provide a fun and entertaining way to vent out one’s frustrations. 


Individuals can come with their friends, pick a package and smash objects. The concept is to allow people to have a fun experience while blowing off some steam, says Rage Academy founder Shaveen Perera. 


“Even if you are not easily angered, rage rooms offer a quick adrenaline rush and a new experience. Most importantly, our rage room is completely judgement free. You can smash away your stress and walk out feeling like a better version of yourself,” Perera said.

“However, our culture and its people would always find a way to condemn a new business idea. The misconception that rage rooms are inducing violence is complete hoax and that is because our country is so backward thinking,” he added.

    This business would really take off the ground, if you put up posters and related stuff that represents all 225 1 in the rage rooms. Even a low margin will bring high revenue based on high turnover of participants.

    No one's trying to condemn your business idea. But this silly rage room costs an arm and a leg to smash some nonsense up. So clearly only the 4wd Colombo silk shirts will be able to go and smash up some TVs. What a joke. Just go for a jog and have a cup of tea men to clear the mind. Jokers... Just like the entire bunch in parliament.

    It is a pity that some Sri Lankans are always ready to adopt ridiculous practices that arise in the decadent west. The answer to rage does not lie in smashing objects; it lies in calming one's mind through simple, time-tested techniques like meditation.

    What's the cost ? Why rage and break stuff when there is a better way to relieve your stress and have a happy ending ?
