Kopi Kade (Coffee Shop) (Sinhala:කෝපි කඩේ) is a Sri Lankan comedy-drama television series broadcast on the Independent Television Network. Kopi Kade is the most popular program at its time-slot, according to Survey Research Lanka. The 1,500th uninterrupted weekly episode was broadcast on January 17, 2017.




Plot


ITN director Thevis Guruge developed the program as a platform to discuss social issues and convey them to the general public. The series would revolve around a village "kopi kade," because small shops that serve coffee, food and groceries generally serve as the center of town life. Women frequent such establishments to obtain the groceries they need, and men join to play games like draughts while discussing matters of interest.
