[3] Besides, he also criticised the acting of Zeenath Abbas and Ahmed Azmeel. [3] However, he liked the main storyline and the plot twists 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 disappointed that it did not show the "island life". [4]

The film was premiered at Olympus on 10 May 2016.
