Maafeh Neii is a 2010 family drama film directed and produced by Ali Seezan. Produced under Cxanal Movies, the film stars Seezan, Niuma Mohamed and Koyya Hassan Manik in pivotal roles. The film was released on 9 March 2010.
The film focuses on three generations of one family.[1] It highlights many social issues, such as the human rights abuses, forced marriages and domestic violence. The entire film is shot at B. Kamadhoo.[1] The font design used in the posters of film caused confused the audience with a title Maadeh Neiy which has no native meaning. A similar naming issue ensued in a previous venture of director in Karuna Vee Beyvafa (2009).[1]
