Pravegaya (English: velocity ) is a 2015 Sri Lankan Sinhala action thriller film directed by Donald Jayantha and produced by Sadesh Kumar.

It stars Hemal Ranasinghe and Udari Perera with Jayalath Manoratne, Pubudu Chathuranga and Jackson Anthony in supporting roles.

Hemal is a happy-go-lucky middle-class family guy who spends time playing carrom in the streets with his friends Janith and Kumar.

His father and he keep falling into minor misunderstandings, and he indulges in a hopeless romance with a strange girl who he meets at a bus stop.

Hemal comes into conflict with the underworld when he witnesses a brutal murder planned by a gang of Smuggling don, Brando and his accomplices.

When he finds out what happened to G.J.I, he gets furious and sends his henchmen to kill Hemal without knowing the reason for his brother's embarrassment.

Hemal tells the truth to Brando but refuses to believe that his brother G.J.I and his men stole his bike.

He was admitted in a hospital and Hemal breaks down after knowing that his father may never walk again after his right leg is paralysed by the attack.

Although he wants to stay away, Hemal invariably gets dragged into rubbing shoulders with the criminals who now target his family to seek revenge.

Hemal loses his job as an employee in his workplace since his bike was a source of transportation, and as he was kept at police custody for one night.

G.J.I accuses Brando of being a non-caring brother and Wasantha intervenes and warns G.J.I to mind his language.

Pravegeya is an official Sinhala remake of the Indian Tamil film Polladhavan which starred Dhanush and Divya Spandana.

[citation needed] Jacqueline Fernandez was cast into a lead role in September 2011 for Rs.8 million which is considered the highest budget ever paid to an actress in Sri Lanka.
