Release and reception

The film was released on 27 May 2013. The film attracted negative reception from critics. [4] Ahmed Nadheem of Haveeru wrote: "The film is similar to a ship without a direction, an aimless screenplay leading the director to no path. Embraced with futile characters, impractical scenes and out-dated music, the film has problems in each department". [4] Summarising his review, Nadheem labels the film to be of "low quality" and a "displeasure". [4]
