Response
The film received mixed to negative reception from critics. Ahmed Nadheem from Avas blamed the title of the film for giving the impression of "old typical" taste to the film.[3] He further panned the acting of lead actress Maleeha Waheedh; for her weak portrayal of the character and bad dialogue delivery.[3] Besides, he also criticise the acting of Zeenath Abbas and Ahmed Azmeel.[3] However he liked the main storyline and twist plot of the film.[3] Aishath Maahaa from the same publication echoed similar sentiments for the film. She was pleased with the overall make up and styling carried out in the film, however was disappointing for not showing the "island life" in the expected matters.[4]
The film was premiered at Olympus on 10 May 2016.[5] After a few shows, the production team had to cease the screening of film due to the difficulty in getting further dates in Olympus and also due to bad weather condition.[6] The film was later scheduled to be released at Schwack Cinema, however was cancelled due to less tickets than minimum, being sold.[7]
