Alborada (Sinhala: ඇල්බොරාදා) is a 2021 Sri Lankan multilingual biographical romantic film directed by Asoka Handagama and produced by H.D.

[1][2] The film is based on the fictionalized sex life of Chile's Nobel Laureate Pablo Neruda from 1929 to 1931 in Sri Lanka.

[8] Even though he started to write the script with a romance-based plot, he later realized that Neruda has raped a Tamil garbage collecting female lady during his visit to Sri Lanka.

Handagama then screened Luis Romero, a young Spanish actor and poet who knew Neruda well and loved him.

[15] A special screening of the film was held on 29 December 2021 at the Multiplex Cinema Hall in Kandy City Center.

The film and Neruda's memoir translated by Saman Wickramaarachchi was officially released under the title 'Mata Mathaka Ma' on 14 February 2022.
