Yugaanthaya ( End of an era) is the final segment of the trilogy starts from Gamperaliya ( The change of the village ) is a depiction of the rise of capitalism . Also as the exploitation continues how an alternative is sought. Martin Wickramasinghe who wrote this novel had worked for Lake House the leading News paper publisher then owned by Mr. D.R. Wijewardene , the news paper baron of Ceylon . Wickramasinghe had worked under D.R. Wijewardene . Wijewardene's characteristics were greatly inspired and depicted in Sawiman Kabalana's role ( Gamini Fonseka) in this film as per Martin Wickramasinghe. The film was not very successful in shooting the protest campaigns of the socialist class . Malan Kabalana ( Richard De Soyza) who comes from London gives the leadership to the socialist class which is on the uprise due to severe exploitation . Script is not doing justice to the novel , as done in Lester's Baddegama. Gamini Fonseka's character is the only character that can be uniquely identifiable right within the film.
