Premise

Thoyyib (Ismail Rasheed) casually sees a snippet of a beautiful and diffident girl, Meera (Mariyam Nisha) whom he falls in love to the point he loses his sanity. Thoyyib tries all the possible ways to attain Meera's attention and affection. However all his plans backfire on the night of Meera’s birthday, where she agrees to start a romantic relationship with her childhood friend, Rashwan (Yoosuf Shafeeu). Thoyyib lives a depressive life and Meera feels her life remains incomplete even with Rashwan’s presence.

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]
