Career

Mohamed was first noticed by the owner of the production studio Corona Arts while he was attending an event held in Kulhudhuffushi, where she was performing onstage.[1] Impressed with her appearance and dancing skills, he offered her to star in a video alongside Ahmed Asim.[1]

Her next appearance was in Abdul Fattah's horror film Eynaa (2004), alongside Sheela Najeeb, Mohamed Manik, Ahmed Shah, Khadheeja Ibrahim Didi, and Ibrahim Jihad.[2][3] The film garnered critical acclaim, especially for its technical team, and was a commercial success.[4] She then stepped into Fathimath Nahula's critically and commercially successful romantic drama television series Kalaage Haqqugaa to portray the role of Zeena.[5][6]

In April 2006, Ahmed Nimal's revenge thriller film Hiyani was released, featuring Mohamed in a small role.[7] The film received mostly positive reviews from critics.[8]

Mohamed's first release of 2010 was Ali Seezan's family drama Maafeh Neiy, alongside Ali Seezan and Niuma Mohamed.[9] The film highlights many Maldivian social issues, including human rights abuses, forced marriage, and domestic violence.[9] The film received mixed reviews from critics, the majority of whom dismissed its melodrama; it was a moderate success at the box office.[9] Mohamed next appeared in Ali Shifau's family drama Dhin Veynuge Hithaamaigaa, once more alongside the Maldives' top female star Niuma Mohamed.[10] The film and her performance received positive reviews from critics and was believed to be a "huge improvement" over recent Maldivian films; it proved to be another commercial success.[11] The actress next starred opposite Sheela Najeeb, Mohamed Manik, and Yoosuf Shafeeu in Ahmed Nimal's horror film Zalzalaa En'buri Aun (2010),[12] a spin-off of Aslam Rasheed's classic horror film Zalzalaa (2000). The film revolves around a mariage blanc, a man's murder by his wife, and the avenging of his death. The film received mixed responses from critics and did moderately well at the box office.[12]

The following year, Mohamed played a small role in the Moomin Fuad-directed crime tragedy drama Loodhifa.[13] Featuring an ensemble cast, the film deals with current social issues in Maldivian society told from the different perspective of each character.[14] Made on a budget of MVR 600,000, the film was declared a commercial failure, though it received wide critical acclaim, praising the performance of the cast and the film's "realism" in its language, characters, and their attitudes.[13] Mohamed next appeared in Ali Shifau's psychological romance thriller Zaharu alongside Ali Seezan, Niuma Mohamed, and Sheela Najeeb.[15] The film centres around a married man who has a brief affair with a woman who becomes obsessed with him; it was inspired by the Adrian Lyne-directed American psychological erotic thriller Fatal Attraction (1987).[15] Upon release, it received mixed reviews from critics and was declared a flop at the box office.[11] The same year, the actress collaborated with Amjad Ibrahim on his family drama Hithey Dheymee, which received negative reviews from critics and was a box office disaster.[16]

In 2017, Mohamed was cast alongside Yoosuf Shafeeu, Fathimath Azifa, and Jadhulla Ismail in the Mohamed Aboobakuru-directed Neydhen Vakivaakah, which was a critical and commercial failure.[17][18][19]

2018 was a slow year for the Maldivian film industry due to the presidential election, and Mohamed only appeared in one film: a suspense thriller titled Dhevansoora, written and directed by Yoosuf Shafeeu.[20] The production marks Shafeeu's thirtieth project and features an ensemble cast of twenty-one actors.[21] The film received positive reviews from critics and was considered a "norm-breaker" for Maldivian cinema.[22] Ahmed Hameed Adam, reviewing for VNews, wrote: "Though Mohamed has a small and deviated role in terms of its main plot, she makes an impact with her performance".[22]

In 2019, Mohamed's first appearance was in Moomin Fuad's psychological horror thriller Nivairoalhi, which marked Niuma Mohamed's last film as an actress.[23][24] The film received majorly positive reviews from critics; Aishath Maaha of Dho? favoured the performance of the lead actors and mentioned the "neat arrangement" of its screenplay, though pointing out its "weak ending".[25]

Media image

In 2018, Mohamed was ranked ninth in Dho?'s list of Top Ten Actresses of Maldives, with writer Aishath Maaha opining that she is a "promising" actress who is still "relevant even during her long career".[26]
