Release and reception
The film received negative response from critics. Ahmed Nadheem of Haveeru noted the film as "another boring, slow paced" Maldivian film which lacks originality.[2] Displeased with the screenplay and performance of the film, he wrote: "None of the actors were given scope to build their characters and none was able to justify their character.[2] With excessive emotional scenes, actors were exposed to over-acting and nothing more". The cinematography of few songs were noted to be the only saving grace of the film.[2]
