About Nihanda Sewanali
A group of researchers who venture into a dense, protected forest reserve, only to inadvertently trigger an ancient spiritual curse by disrupting the sacred natural environment. As they delve deeper, the forest reveals its dark history through terrifying supernatural occurrences, where malevolent spirits—the "silent shadows"—begin hunting the trespassers one by one. The group must uncover the connection between a past environmental tragedy and the entity pursuing them before the curse permanently seals their fate, ultimately delivering a chilling message about the generational consequences of destroying nature.
Directed by Sunil Premarathne, Nihanda Sewanali leans on a strong ensemble — Pubudu Chathuranga, Roshan Ranawana, Meena Kumari Perera — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2021.
