Abstract:
There was humor in media and entertainment for decades. Cinema extended this
tradition. in the early period humor in Cinema contributed to the entertainment we see
this early in the period of the silent Cinema. Charley Chaplin has devoted his genius in
order to create such a humourous feeling over the audience. He made deep philosophical
analysis of life by using comedy and humourous acting.
The same trend is seen in Sri Lankan Cinema from its initial period up to now. SouthIndian
film, Sanskrit drama and Sinhala Nadagama have provided the background for the
development of humor .in Sri Lankan Cinema. But the First Comedy roles were very
conventional and failed to establish a local identity.
It is very important to notice the role of that humorous character have played in Sri
Lankan realistic Cinematic. Laughing, Smiling Criticizing Human foolishly, using double
entendre, were some of the features that were used to make. This has not helped to build .
a proper analysis of human behavior or provide sophisticated entertainment.
