[1] The series is directed by Jayaprakash Sivagurunathan and written by Saddha Mangala Sooriyabandara.
However, their lives are eventually turned for the better when two men riding a motorcycle throw an unknown briefcase.
The news of a bank being robbed and the suspects' arrest spreads fast; it is later revealed that the money stolen is still missing.
Lara and Dinka find the briefcase thrown by the men and take it to their home in secret.
As this happens, Chamiya, a pickpocket, is shot dead at a robbery and his mentor, Ranjith "Ranji" is criticized by everyone.
Lara learns that the stolen money was actually a property of Abhisheka's father, Victor Dunuwila.
Police uncover counterfeit money in Abhisheka's home and her father is arrested.
Later, Abhisheka and Rashmi discover that Manoja, a servant, is an undercover agent of Dilan.
She also turns to him, but Lara simply rejects her, noting that their family backgrounds do not match.
Abhisheka is disappointed by Lara's response, and leaves the country to go abroad with her family.
Underworld don, Dharman, hires them to kill a journalist, Kavishan Perera.
Ranji sees their old "friend" Dinka in a store and informs Lara and they seek vengeance for the money heist he pulled on the two of them.
Finally, Lara and Dinka have reverted back to the life of old-age slum days.
Despite being usual romantic television serials made by Sivagurunathan, the plot of Haara Kotiya expressed beyond those expectations.
This changed plot and acting credentials by the actors gave the drama to become one of the most popular television serials in the Sri Lanka.
The title song Heena Thibunata Kotiyak by Shyamen Dangamuwa became a popular hit as well.
