Reception

The first episode of Deweni Inima was telecast on 6 February 2017 on TV Derana. It was telecast on weekdays at 8:30 p.m. Within a short time it became the most popular teledrama in Sri Lanka. Deweni Inima received the most popular teledrama award in Raigam Tele'es, Sumathi Awards and SLIM-Nielsen Peoples Awards several times. According to LMRB ratings, Deweni Inima is the most-watched television programme among all categories in Sri Lanka. The 1000th episode of Deweni Inima was telecast on 5 February 2021.

However, the drama has gradually been panned for being an "endless loop" of monotonously dull scriptwriting,[1] with criticism being aimed by the audience at how the drama is no longer based on Cricket, despite the drama's misleading title. The drama has been named "one of the worst TV shows" in Sri Lanka by a majority of critics.

The first season of deweni inima ended on 6 October 2023 after 1681 episodes. The second season started from 9 October 2023.
