Development

Story

Ahmed Iqbal initiated penning the first draft of Ehenas Hama Loabiveyey in 2009 when he was posting stories on blogs.[2] In need of trying a different genre than his previous fictions, Iqbal focused the novel on major three themes; sexual abuse to men, domestic violence and bullying.[3] In an interview Iqbal said; "I initially struggled to develop the story considering the fact that its themes are labelled to be disgusting in the Maldivian culture".[3] After posting three to four episodes of his narration, Iqbal received positive comments from readers and decided to build the story further.[3]

Production

On 11 March 2016, it was announced that a new production studio, Me studio, has acquired the rights to develop a film based on Ahmed Iqbal's 2012 novel, Ehenas Hama Loabiveyey.[4] The production team expressed their interest to produce the film due to the "lukewarm response" the novel has received despite its "fragile issue" the original story touches upon.[4] They projected to start filming in May 2016 and release the film before the year ends.[4] However, on 30 January 2019, it was reported that the producers later changed the project to be developed as a web series rather than a feature film, citing the idea of expanding the story and hence "incidence can be fully elaborated and justified" in a series without being "trimmed" for a film.[5] A casting call was opened for interested actors on the same day by actress Aishath Rishmy.[5] Workshops were held for those actors who were selected to star in the film from the audition.[6] Director, Ravee Farooq revealed that majority of the actors are newcomers though the film will feature established actors like Sheela Najeeb and Mohamed Manik.[6] Filming for the series began on 15 February 2019.[5]

Release

The teaser trailer of the series was released on 24 March 2019.[7] The official trailer came out on YouTube on 20 April 2019.[8] The first episode of the show was streamed on 16 July 2019.

Response

The series opened to mainly positive reviews from critics.[9] Aishath Maahaa reviewing from Dho? praised the realistic portrayal of mother-son relationship and acting performance of the newcomers; "At the helm of Ravee's brilliance, aided by stellar debut performances, Ehenas is an excellent product in overall".[10] Ifraz Ali from Dho? ranked the series in the third position of the year's best projects while particularly praising the first season for its suspense and the whole project for carefully maintaining a standard similar to the Hollywood television releases. However, with inclusion of characters beyond its book, the second series was found to be "a little problematic" for him with repeated dialogues and lagged character developments.[11]
