Response

Upon release, the film received mainly positive reviews from critics.[3] Hilath Rasheed reviewing from Haveeru Daily praised the "splendid" performance by Mariyam Nisha and also the moments of "pure artistry and sheer film-making brilliance" in the film. Acknowledging the attempt of directors for its revelation moment, he wrote: "directors tackle a subject which has and is still a pressing social problem but hardly discussed, at least not in typical Dhivehi films which is happy to package "love" as a "Mills & Boon" type of superficial feeling". Criticizing the "oversimplified" climax, he noted that "Rasheed's natural comedic movements and gestures, coupled with a script full of humour, makes the lengthy scenes more tolerable".[3]
