I've seen a map with a simulation of the propagation of the wave, and seems like the wave was generated along a fault in the north-south direction. Then the wave would be directional in the east-west direction and not as strong in the direction of Bangladesh.
Here's the link: http://www.aftenposten.no/spesial/bildeserier/article937860.ece (click on "Neste" in the frame on the right for the next picture) The simulation also shows what looks like a focusing directly at Sri Lanka and south India, maybe because of interference fenomena with waves generateed from different positions along the fault, reflected from Sumatra or refracted by underwater mountains. (Differences in ocean depth will affect wave velocity and thus provide refraction) Optics may be used in many media...
