Miss Jenis (Sinhala: මිස් ජෙනිස්) is a 2020 Sri Lankan Sinhala comedy drama film directed by Susiran De Silva and produced by Walter Abeysundara.[1][2] It stars late Jayalath Manoratne in lead dual roles along with Giriraj Kaushalya, Jayalal Rohana and Duleeka Marapana in supportive roles.[3] Music composed by Lakshman Wijesekara.[4]
It is the debut cinema direction of Susiran de Silva, where he has produced several popular television serials earlier such as Manokaya and Isuru Yogaya.[5] The film also marks the final lead role of maestro Jayalath Manoratne who died in early 2020.[6][7] This is unique to Sinhala cinema as his one and only female character.[8][9] However in 2019, Manoratne and his wife came to see the film when it was shown to the film exhibition boards even though he showed a slight illness at that time.[10]
The film was officially released on 25 September 2020.[11][12] However, the film had his special screening on 7 September 2020 at The Scope Film Festival which was held from 4-8 September at Scope Cinemas, Liberty Complex.[13] It was filmed in Haputale, Hikkaduwa and Colombo areas.[8] The film received mixed views from critics.[14]
